SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the continuing need for a teleconferencing option for City Council, Commission and Committee meetings pursuant to Assembly Bill No. 361
STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a Resolution entitled:
RESOLUTION NO. 2022 - ____
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WILDOMAR, CALIFORNIA
AUTHORIZING THE CONTINUING NEED FOR TELECONFERENCING OPTION FOR
CITY COUNCIL, COMMISSION AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS PURSUANT TO ASSEMBLY BILL 361 AND MAKING FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS REGARDING
THE SAME
BACKGROUND:
The City adopted a resolution at its January 12, 2022 meeting making the findings required by AB 361 and authorizing City Legislative Body meetings to be held via teleconference. According to Government Code § 54953(e)(3), a legislative body that holds a meeting via teleconference pursuant to AB 361 must reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency and make findings every 30 days to continue to meet via teleconference.
The body must find it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and either 1) the emergency continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, or 2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing.
The City adopted a resolution at its February 9, 2022 meeting to reconsider the circumstances of the state of emergency and made the required findings to continue to meet via teleconference.
The attached resolution includes and reaffirms the findings required by AB 361 to allow the City to continue to hold teleconferenced meetings.
DISCUSSION:
Governor Newsom signed Assembly Bill 361 (AB 361) on September 16, 2021, which amends the Ralph M. Brown Act to provide additional provi sions that allow meetings of legislative bodies to be conducted via teleconference. AB 361 went into effect immediately upon the Governor’s signature. AB 361 comes as the provisions of Executive Order No. N -29-20 (as revised by Executive Order No. N -08-21), which modifies the requirements for the conduct of meetings via teleconference during the COVID-19 pandemic, expired on September 30, 2021.
AB 361 will allow a local agency legislative body to hold a meeting utilizing teleconferencing without complyin g with the standard teleconferencing requirements if the Governor has proclaimed a State of Emergency and any of the following circumstances:
• State or local officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing.
• The meeting is being held for the purposes of determining, by majority vote, whether as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
• The legislative body has determined that as a result of the emergency, meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees.
The Governor’s March 4, 2020 Proclamation of Emergency related to the COVID -19 pandemic is still in effect.
If a meeting is held via teleconference under AB 361, the following requirements apply:
• Notice of the meeting must still be given in compliance with the Brown Act, and the notice must include the means by which the public may access the meeting and provide public comment.
• The public must be provided access to the meeting via a call-in option or internet- based service option and allowed to “address the legislative body directly.” The agency does not have to provide an in- person option for the public to attend the meeting.
• The meeting must be conducted “in a manner that protect s the statutory and constitutional rights of the parties and the public appearing before the legislative body.”
• If there is a disruption to the meeting broadcast or in the ability to take call -in or internet-based public comment, no further action can be t aken on agenda items until the issue is resolved.
• The body cannot require comments to be submitted before the start of the meeting.
The public must be allowed to make “real time” public comment. • Reasonable time for public comment must be provided. If the agency provides a timed public comment period, the public comment period must be left open until the time expires.
Findings must be made every 30 days to continue to conduct teleconference meetings under AB 361. The body must find it has reconsidered the circumstances of the state of emergency and either 1) the emergency continues to impact the ability to meet safely in person, or 2) State or local officials continue to impose or recommend social distancing.
The City has already implemented the above s tated requirements for conducting public meetings and is in full compliance with AB 361, thus there will be no change of the currently established procedures.
In addition to the ability to attend public meetings in- person, teleconference accessibility via an internet-based service option (via the Zoom Webinars platform) is listed on the published agenda for each meeting. The City monitors attendance via teleconfere nce throughout each public meeting and provides access for public comment opportunities in real time.

WHEREAS, COVID-19 continues to threaten the health and lives of Wildomar residents and state and local health officials continue to recommend or require precautions be taken including, but not limited to, masking, limiting prolonged interior exposure to oth er individuals, limiting the size of gatherings indoors, and, for those with compromised health conditions or those without vaccines, limiting attendance at functions indoors; and
WHEREAS, state and local officials continue to recommend social distancing to protect the community’s health against the spread of COVID-19; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Resolution No. 2022- 01 at its January 12, 2022 meeting making the findings required by AB 361 and authorizing City Legislative Body meetings to be held via teleconference; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Wildomar does hereby resolve, declare, determine, and order as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are correct and are material to this Resolution and are incorporated into this Resolution as findings of the City Council.
SECTION 2. Riverside County experienced a spike in COVID-19 (inclusive of all known variants) in confirmed cases, the COVID -19 reproductive rate and hospitalizations. The City continues to follow safety measures in response to COVID -19 as ordered or recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, California Department of Public Health (CDPH), and/or County of Riverside, as applicable. Based upon these facts and the guidance provided by the above entities, in person attendance indoors at public meetings continues to present a health risk for certain segments of the City’s population, necessitating teleconferencing to allow for meaningful participation options for all City constituents and its elected and appointed officials.
SECTION 3. State and local officials continue to recommend social distancing to protect the community’s health against the spread of COVID-19.
SECTION 4. Pursuant to the findings listed in this Resolution, the City Council and the City’s Legislative Bodies are authorized to utilize teleconferencing accessibility to conduct public meetings pursuant to AB 361.
SECTION 5. The City’s Legislative Bodies are hereby authorized to conduct meetings in a format whereby members of the Legislative Body and members of the public may elect to be present in person, utilizing appropriate safety procedures, or participate by teleconferencing technology. Such meetings of the Legislative Bodies that occur using teleconferencing technology will provide an opportunity for any and all members of the public who wish to address Legislative Bodies to do so, and will otherwise occur in a manner that protects the statutory and constitutional rights of members of the public attending the meeting via teleconferencing. The City’s Legi slative Bodies have safety measures and technology in place to allow in -person and teleconferenced appearances at meetings, which reduces the risks to health and safety because the number of attendees is reduced.
SECTION 6. Pursuant to the requirements of Government Code Section 54953 (e)(3), the City makes the following findings:
A) The City has considered the circumstances of the continuing state of emergency;
B) The state of emergency continues to directly impact the ability of the members and the public to meet safely in person;
C) State or local officials continue to recommend measures to promote social distancing
SECTION 7. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption and shall be effective until the earlier of (i) 30 days from the date of adoption of this Resolution, or (ii) such time the City Council adopts a subsequent resolution in accordance with Government Code section 54953(e)(3) to extend the time during which the Legislative Bodies of the City of Wildomar may continue to teleconference without compliance with paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of section 54953 for another 30 day period.
SECTION 8. Severability: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Resolution is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a decision of any court of competed jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remai ning portions of this Resolution. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this Resolution and each and every section, subsection, sentence, clause, or phrase not declare invalid or unconstitutional without regard to whether any portion of this Resolution would be subsequently declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 9. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and hereafter the same shall be in full force and effect.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED this 9th day of March, 2022.

BOUNDARIES OF CITY COUNCIL ELECTORAL
DISTRICTS AND REDEFINING THE BOUNDARIES OF
ALL CITY COUNCIL ELECTORAL DISTRICTS OF THE
CITY OF WILDOMAR
The City Council of the City of Wildomar , State of California, orda ins as foll ows:
SECTION 1: The City Council (Council) finds and determines:

Constitution to conduct an accurate count of the population every ten years;
b. California Electio ns Code Sec tion 21 600 et seq. requires that “ following each federal decennial census for a city whose council is already elected using district -based elections, the council shall, by ordinance or resolution, adopt boundaries for all of the council district s of the ci ty so that the council districts shall be substantially equal in population as required by the United States Constitution.;"
c. The Council held public hearings on September 8, 2021, November 10, 2021, January 12, 2022, and February 9, 2022 to re ceive briefings from the City’s demographic consultant relating to the redistricting process and state and federal redistricting criteria and communities of interest, including the California Elections Code, the Voting Rights Act and the United Constitution, heard public testimony, and directed staff and the City 's demographic consultant to prepare draft district plans for consideration;
a. In addition, City staff conducted public outreach by way of information posted on the City’s web site, social media, local newspaper, monthly newsletter and e-mail.
b. At January 12, 2022 and February 9, 2022 public hearings, the Council received a presentation on several draft maps prepared by the C ity's demographic consultant for compliance with applicable laws and standar ds and addi tional maps submitted by the public; and
c. At its January 12, 2022 hearing the City Council settled on Map NDC 101 designating it the Preferred Map and directing certain adjustments be made. The Council directed that the Preferred Map as adjusted as NDC 101 (B) be presented to the Council for adoption by an Ordinance introduced on February 9, 2022;
d. At the public hearings on redistricting, t he Council heard testimony relating to “communities of interest,” which led the Council to reach the foll owing determinations about communities of interest on the Preferred Map as required under federal and state law:
(1) The districts are geographically contiguous. The districts are arrayed in a simple and logical form without any islands and minimal intrusions from the area of one district into another;
(2) To the extent practicable, the Preferred Map respects the geographic integrity of local neighborhoods and local communities of interest. The Council heard testimony about what constitute communities of interest.
(3) The districts are easily identifiable and understandable by residents.
The districts in the Preferred Map form a relatively simple pattern.
(4) To the extent practicable, t he districts are geographically compact.
Their configurations fo r the most part a re compact, simple shapes, with nearby populations included in the same districts.
(5) The districts are balanced in terms of total population and voting age population. The districts are well within the one-person/one-vote deviations permitted under federal and state voting rights laws.
(6) The districts conform to concentration of minority voters.
k. All information in the staff reports, maps, presentations, Council debate and public testimony referenced above is hereby incorporated into this decision and serves as evidentiary basis for these findings and legislative decision.
SECTION 2 : Section 1.12.030 of the City of Wildomar M unicipal Code (“Establishment of City Council electoral districts”) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“Members of the City Council shall be elected on a “by -district” basis from the Council districts established by the Council pur suant to a resolution or ordinance in accordance with state law.

SECTION 3 : Pursuant to the provisions of the Fair Maps Ac t of 2019 as amended in 2020, codified at California Elections Code section 216 00 to 21609, after givin g considera tion to those provisions and applicable decisions of the courts, the Council hereby adjusts, changes, and establishes the boundaries of the City Council electoral districts as set forth on the Preferred Map considered by the Council at its public hearing on February 9, 2022, and reflected in Exhibits A and B hereto, and they shall constitute and are hereby established as the boundaries of the City Council d istricts of the City of Wildomar for subsequent elections until further readjustment is required by law.
SECTION 4: Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, and pursuant to California Elections Code section 21 606, subdivisions (a) an d (b), each of the Council Members in office at the time this Ordinance takes effect shall continue in office until the expiration of the full term to which he or she was elected and until his or her successor is qualified, and any vacancy in a term curr ently underway shall be filled based on the districts in effect at the time the current Council Members were elected.
SECTION 5: All ordinances and resolutions, or parts thereof in conflict with this ordinance are hereby repealed.

2021 Annual HCD Progress Report March 9, 2022
CITY OF WILDOMAR – CITY COUNCIL
Agenda Item #1.7
CONSENT CALENDAR
Meeting Date: March 9, 2022
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Matthew C. Bassi, Planning Director
SUBJECT: Housing Element Annual HCD Progress Report for 20 21: A report on the City’s progress in meeting its share of the Housing Element’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) for calendar year 2021
STAFF REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the City Council receive and file th e 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and direct the Planning Director to submit to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1, 2022.
DISCUSSION:
The Housing Element is intended to i dentify and establish City policies with respect to meeting the housing needs of existing and future residents in the city. It establishes policies that will guide City decision-making and sets forth an action plan to implement its housing goals. The commitments are in furtherance of the statewide housing goal of early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family, as well as a reflection of the concerns unique to the City of Wildomar.
The primary purpose is to identify housing solutions that solve our local housing problems and to meet or exceed the regional housing needs allocation. The City recognizes that housing is a need that is met through many resources and interest groups. The Housing Element establishes the local goals, polici es, and actions (programs) the City will implement and/or facilitate to solve our identified housing issues.
To this end, the City Council on December 11, 2013 adopted the City’s first Housing Element. The element was subsequently certified by state department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on January 13, 2014. A copy of the certified 2013-2021 Housing Element is on the City’s website, and a copy is provided for reference in Attachment B.
In accordance with Government Code Section 65584, the City is required to submit on April 1 of each year an annual progress of the City’s efforts in addressing our RHNA allocation as delineated in the Housing Element. This year will be the final reporting year for the 2013-2021 Housing Element. Starting Ja nuary 1, 2023, the City will be required to report on the progress of our newly certified 2021-2029 Wildomar Housing Element.
2021 Annual HCD Progress Report March 9, 2022
The reporting spreadsheets are much different than in years past due to the passage of SB 35 and AB 879 by the state legislature a s part of the 2017 California Housing Law Package. As a point of clarification, the RHNA allocation numbers are applicable to all income categories, and not just the extremely low & very low categories. The City is required to plan for housing across all income categories, and every residential unit built in the City counts towards our RHNA allocation. However, the City is not mandated to ensure that all of its RHNA units are actually built. The City is only required to demonstrate to HCD that adequate sites are properly zoned to accommodate affordable housing.
2021 Reporting Analysis:
Since adoption of the 2013 – 2021 Housing Element by the City Council, the Planning Department has prepared and submitted to HCD the required annual reports. The 2021 progress report is provided for the Commission review in Attachment A.
In regard to the City’s RHNA allocation, Table HNA -21 of the 2013 Housing Element (Page HNA -23) outlines what the fair share RHNA allocation is for the 2013 - 2021 housing planning period (a.k.a. 5
th cycle). The total RHNA allocation established for
Wildomar is 2,535 units which are divided among the f our (4) HCD required income categories (i.e., very low (includes very low) , low, moderate and above moderate) as summarized in the table below:

2021 Annual HCD Progress Report March 9, 2022
Table B of the 2021 Annual Progress Report (refer to Attachment A, page 4 of 9) reflects the total breakdown of units built since the start of the reporting period in 2014. As illustrated in Table B, a total of 10 new units were built and received a certificate of occupancy in 2021 in the above moderate category. Staff anticipates that this number will significantly increase in 2022 given the number of units that will be completed.
Since adoption of the 2013 Housing Element, a total of 758 units have now been built and occupied between all income categories. This leaves a “balance” of 1,777 units remaining to be built. As this is the final reporting year of the current 5 th Cycle reporting period, the
City’s remaining RHNA allocation in each income category is as follows:
• Extremely Low/Very Low-Income Categories = 621 units left • Low Income Category = 399 units left
• Moderate Income Category = 401 units left
• Above Moderate Income Category = 356 units left 1,777 units left
Of importance to note is that the City did approve the 225- unit Tres Lagos Affordable Housing project during the 2021 reporting period under the mandated provisions of SB
35. The Applicant is currently seeking funding to begin construction of Phase 1 and 2 of the project during the fourth quarter of 2022. At some point in the future, 223 units of the project will count towards our RHNA allocation of low to moderate income categories (refer to Table A, page 1 of 9 in Attachment A). As the state pushes its housing agenda onto local government agencies, it is likely that the city will see other SB 35 affordable housing projects during the 2021-2029 reporting period.

Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation H-1.1: General Plan Land Use Change
to Provide Additional Sites. To ensure there is enough land available for the development of housing affordable to lower-income households, the City will amend its General Plan Land Use and Zoning maps to redesignate and rezone sites 22, 23, 24, and 25 (see Table HNA-25 in the Housing Needs Assessment), a total of
25.96 acres to the Highest Density Residential (HHDR) land use designation and with R-4 zoning to allow for at least 30 units to the acre by right. Additionally, to comply with state law, the City has identified and will re-zone sites to accommodate the City’s housing needs, with at least 50 percent of the 4th cycle unmet need coming from sites that are zoned for residential uses only. The City had an unaccommodated need of 538 units and has re-zoned 25.96 acres to HHDR to accommodate 623 units at 20 to 40 dwelling unit per acre. All sites will accommodate a minimum of 20 units per acre, allow up to 30 units per acre and at least 16 units per site, per state law requirements.
All rezoned sites will permit owner-occupied and rental multi-family developments by right with a minor plot plan to verify development standards (i.e., setbacks) and will not require a conditional use permit, a planned unit development permit, or any other discretionary review.
In addition, the City is creating a mixed-use overlay zone to apply to 20 sites, totaling 117 acres within the inventory. The mixed-use overlay will have a 30 percent residential requirement.
By December 2013 In 2013, the City completed all necessary rezones consistent with Government Code Section 65583.2, (resolutions 2013-45 and 2013-46) to ensure there were sufficient sites available to meet the City’s lower-income Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City continues to ensure there is sufficient capacity to meet its regional housing need.
H-1.2: Large Sites.
The City will provide for the inclusion of mixed-inco me housing in future new growth areas of the city through development agreements, specific plans , and other mechanisms. To facilitate the development of affordable hous ing on parcels (50 to 150 units in size), the City will routinely give high priority to processing subdivision maps that include affordable housing units. Also, an expedited review process will be available for the subdivision of larger sites into bu ildable lots where the development application can be found consistent with the General Plan, applicable Specific Plan, and master environmental impact report.
Ongoing On October 27, 2021, the Tres Lagos Affordable Housing Project was approved for entitlement, The project includes 225 affordable housing units. The funding for this project is state and federal funds H-2.1: Assistance with Affordable

, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households within the planning period.
Annually
The City provides fair housing educational brochures in English and Spanish at City Hall and the City library and provides a link to these services on the City's website. Due to limited funding and lack of developer interest, the City did not provide assistance with land acquisition and/or off-site infrastructure improvements, or assistance securing federal or state housing financial resources, in the previous planning period. The City is committed to providing this assistance to interested developers during the 2021-2029 planning period.
H-3.1: Updated Land Inventory.
The City will establish a Land Inventory that provides the mechanism to monitor acreage and location, by General Plan designation, of vacant and underutilized land, as well as buildout of approved projects, utilizing the City’s GIS.

H-3.2: Strategic Planning Opportunities Utilize the City’s GIS to facilitate preliminary strategic planning studies to identify vacant or underutilized commercial properties for infill construction or adaptive reuse in high-density areas Annually Due to limited funding, the City has not taken action to identify vacant or commercial properties for infill construction or adaptive reuse. This is a priority moving forward H-4.1: Funding Opportunities.
Use, to the greatest extent possible, a portion of available funds for the production and subsidization of low- and moderate-income housing including persons with special needs and developmental disabilities. All projects receivi ng public assistance will be required to remain affordable in compliance with the requirements of the program in which they participate. These actions are not limited to density bonus, but are offered above and beyond.
Ongoing Due to limited funding, the City has not taken action to identify vacant or commercial properties for infill construction or adaptive reuse. This is a priority moving forward. The H-4.2: Available Housing Programs and
Assistance.

WILDOMAR HOUSING ELEMENT
Adopted: December 11, 2013 HE-1
INTRODUCTION
The City of Wildomar’s Housing Element identifies and establishes the City’s policies with respect to meeting the needs of existing and future residents in the c ity. It establishes policies that will guide City decision -making and sets forth an action plan to implement its housing goals. The commitments are in furtherance of the statewide housing goal of early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family, as well as a reflection of the concerns unique to the City of Wildomar.
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Housing Element is to identify housing solutions that solve our local housing problems and to meet or exceed the regional housing needs allocation. The City recognizes that housing is a need that is met through many resources and interest groups. This Housing Element establishes the local goals, policies, and actions (programs) the City will implement and/or facilitate to solve our identified housing issues.
State Housing Element law requires the Housing Element to be consistent and comp atible with other General Plan elements. The Housing Element should provide clear policy direction for making decisions pertaining to zoning, subdivision approval, housing allocations, and capital improvements. State law (Government Code Section 65580 through 65589) mandates the content of the Housing Element and requires an analysis of:
• Population and employment trends
• The City’s fair share of the regional housing needs
• Household characteristics
• An inventory of land suitable for residential development • Governmental and non- governmental constraints on the improvement, maintenance, and development of housing
• Special housing needs
• Opportunities for energy conservation
• Publicly assisted housing developments that may convert to non-assisted housing developments The purpose of these requirements is to develop an understanding of the existing and projected housing needs within the community and to set forth policies and schedules promoting the preservation, improvement, and development of diverse housing types available at a range of costs in Wildomar.
WILDOMAR HOUSING ELEMENT
HE-2 Adopted: December 11, 2013
GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
State law requires that “the general plan and elements and parts thereof comprise an integrated, internally consistent, and compatible statement of policies .” The purpose of requiring internal consistency is to avoid policy conflict and provide a clear policy guide for the future maintenance, improvement, and development of housing within the c ity.
All elements of the Wildomar General Plan have been reviewed for consistency in coordination with the update to the Housing Element. The City will continue to maintain General Plan consistency.
In addition, per Assembly Bill (AB) 162 (Government Code Section 65302), the City will evaluate and amend as appropriate the Safety and Conservation Elements of the General Plan to include analysis and policies regarding flood hazard and management information.
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION
The first step in addressing state housing needs is the Regional Housing Needs Plan, which is mandated by the State of California (Government Code Section 65584) and requires regions to address housing issues and needs based on future growth projections for the area. The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) allocates regional housing needs numbers to regional councils of governments throughout the state. The Regional Housing Needs Plan for Riverside County is developed by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and allocates to cities and t he unincorporated county their “ fair share” of the region’s projected housing needs, also known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The Regional Housing Needs Plan allocates the RHNA based on household income groupings over the five -year planning period for each specific jurisdiction’s Housing Element.
The City of Wildomar incorporated on July 1, 2008, which was after the final RHNA had been distributed by SCAG, for the 2006- 2014 planning period . Therefore, the City had to work with Riverside County, the Western Riverside Council of Governments, and SCAG to agree on an appropriate portion of the County’s allocation to take as its own.
In October of 2011, an agreement was made that the City of Wildomar would take a total of 1,471 units for the remainder of the 2006–2014 planning period, as shown in Table H-1.
The 1,471 units must be accommodated in this Housing Element in addition to the City’s RHNA for the current planning period (2014-2021) . Please refer to T able HNA-22 in the Housing Needs As sessment for a full analysis.
Table H-2 below shows the City’s 5

HOUSING GOALS, POLICIES, AND PROGRAMS
An important component of the Housing Element is the City’s description of what it hopes to achieve during the current planning period. This is accomplished with a statement of the City’s goals, policies, programs , and quantified objectives relative to the maintenance, preservation, improvement, and development of housing to meet the present and future needs of all economic segments of the population.
GOAL H-1: Assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the city’s fair share of the region’s housing needs for all economic segments of the population.
ADEQUATE HOUSING
POLICY H-1: Ensure there is a sufficient supply of multi-family and single-family zoned land to meet the housing needs identified in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).
PROGRAM H-1.1: General Plan Land Use Change to Provide for Additional Sites. To ensure there is enough land available for the development of housing affordable to lower -income households, the City will amend its General Plan Land Use and Zoning maps to redesignate and rezone sites 22, 23, 24, and 25 (see Table HNA-25 in the Housing Needs Assessment), a total of
25.96 acres to the Highest Density Residential (HHDR) land use designation and with R-4 zoning to allow for at least 30 units to the acre by right. Additionally, to comply with state law , the City has identified and will re-zone sites to accommodate the City’s housing needs , with at least 50 percent of the 4th cycle unmet need coming from sites that are zoned for residential uses only. The City had an unaccommodated need of 538 units and has re -zoned 25.96 acres to HHDR to accommodate 623 units at 20 to 40 dwelling unit per acre. All sites will accommodate a minimum of 20 units per acre, allow up to 30 units per acre and at least 16 units per site, per state law requirements.
All rezoned sites will permit owner-occupied and rental multi-family developments by right with a minor plot plan to verify development standar ds (i.e. setbacks) and will not require a conditional use permit, a planned unit development permit, or any other discretionary review.
In addition, the City is creating a mixed -use overlay zone to apply to 20 sites, totaling 117 acres within the inventory. The mixed-use overlay will have a 30 percent residential requirement.

QUANTIFIED OBJECTIVES
Quantified objectives estimate the number of units likely to be constructed, rehabilitated , or conserved/preserved by income level during the planning period. The quantified objectives do not represent a ceiling on development, but rather set a target goal for the jurisdiction to achieve based on needs, resources, and constraints. Each quantified objective is detailed by income level as illustrated in Table H-3. • The Construction objective refers to the number of new units that potentially may be constructed using public and/or private sources over the planning period of the Housing Element given the locality’s land resources, constraints , and proposed programs. This objective includes both the 5 th round RHNA allocation as well as the unaccommodated need for the 4 th round housing element identified for the city. The 4 th round unaccommodated need is described in further detail in the Housing Needs Assessment.
• The Rehabilitation objective refers to the number of existing units expected to be rehabilitated during the Housing Element planning period.
• The Conservation/Preservation objective refers to the preservation of the existing affordable housing stock throughout the Housing Element planning period.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The California Government Code requires that local governments make diligent efforts to solicit public participation from all economic segments of the community, especially low- income persons, in the development of the Housing Element. During the preparation of this Housing Element update, public input was actively encouraged in a variety of ways. The element was posted to the City’s website , and a hard copy was available for review at City Hall. The draft and final Housing Element were also provided to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for review and comment.
In an effort to reach all segments of the community, the City contacted the following organizations to gain feedback on the Housing Element:
• Riverside County Child Care Consortium
• Community Action Partnership of Riverside County
• Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, Inc.
• Affordable Housing Clearinghouse
• BRIDGE Housing Corporation
• Southern California Association of Non-Profit Housing Joint City Council/Planning Commission Meetings
November 2, 2011 – City staff conducted a joint City Council/Planning Commission workshop on November 2, 2011. The housing element consultant made a presentation that included an overview of the upda te process, an outline of state housing law, and a description of the required components of the Housing Element. At the conclusion of the presentation, Council members and Commissioners discussed housing concerns in the city and potential changes or additions to policies and programs. General questions and comments about the Housing Element process were received and addressed at the meeting. Copies of the presentation were provided to city residents who requested copies.
December 7, 2011 – City staff presented the draft Housing Element to the City Council and Planning Commission on December 7, 2011, for input and approval to submit the Housing Element to the State for review. A copy of the Housing Element was made available on the City’s website.

EVALUATION OF THE PREVIOUS HOUSING ELEMENT
Per Government Code Section 65588, “Each local government shall review its housing element as frequently as appropriate to evaluate all of the following: (1) The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goal. (2) The effectiveness of the housing element in attainment of the community's housing goals and objectives. (3) The progress of the city, county, or city and county in implementation of the housing element.”
The City of Wildomar incorporated July 1, 2008 and adopted the Riverside County Housing Element at that time.
The City did not adopt a new 4 th round Housing Element after incorporation and, therefore has not completed a review of previous.

HNA-4 Adopted: December 11, 2013
COMMUNITY PROFILE
An accurate assessment of existing and future residents’ demographic characteristics and housing needs forms the basis for establishing program priorities and quantified objectives in the Housing Element. This section presents statistical
information and analysis of demographic and housing factors that influence housing demand, availability , and cost. The focus of this section is on identifying the need for housing according to income level as well as by special needs groups.
POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS
Housing needs are largely determined by population and
employment growth, coupled with various demographic variables. Characteristics such as age, household size, occupation, and income combine to influence the type of housing needed and its affordability.
POPULATION TRENDS
Between 2000 and 2010, Wildomar’s population m ore than doubled in size , with population growth at
57.1%. Riverside County as a whole grew by about a third (29.4%) (see Table HNA-1).

HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Adopted: December 11, 2013 HNA-5
AGE CHARACTERISTICS
Although population growth strongly affects total demand for new housing, housing needs are also influenced by age characteristics. Typically, different age groups have distinct lifestyles, family characteristics, incomes, and housing preferences. As people move through each stage of life, their housing needs and preferences also change. Age characteristics are therefore important in planning for the changing housing needs of residents.
Housing needs often differ by age group. For instance, most young adults (under 34) are single or starting families.
Housing needs for younger adults are addressed through apartments or first- time homeownership opportunities.
Middle-aged residents (34 –64) may already be homeowners, are usually in the prime earning power of their careers, and thus tend to seek larger homes. Seniors often own a home but, due to limited income or disabilities, may need assistance to remain in their homes.
The age distribution for the Cit y of Wildomar and Riverside County is presented in Table HNA -2. According to the 2010 Census, in the City of Wildomar a little more t han half (53.9 %) of the population is working age, between 20 and 59 years of age, and about one -third (31.1 %) of the population is school age or below, between 0 and 19 years of age. The population 60 years and over represents the remaining percen tage of 14.9 %. When compared to Riverside County, the age distribution is similar, although Wildomar had a slightly lower percentag e of persons over the age of 60.

HOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICS
Household type and size, income levels, and other household characteristics determine the type of housing needed by residents. This section details the various household characteristics affecting housing needs.
HOUSEHOLDS TYPE AND SIZE
A household refers to the people occupying a home, such as a family, a single person, or unrelated persons living together. Family households often prefer single-family homes or condominiums to accommodate children, while non- family households generally occupy smaller apartments or condominiums.
Table HNA-4 displays household composition as reported by the 2010 Census. In the City of Wildomar, families comprised 78.1% of all households, of which 37.7% have children under 18 years of age. Riverside County as a whole has a slightly lower percentage of families ( 74.4%) and almost the same percentage of families with children under 18 years of age (37.5%).

OVERCROWDING
Overcrowding is often closely related to household income and the cost of housing. The US Census Bureau considers a household to be overcrowded when there is more than one person per room, excluding bathrooms and kitchens, and to be severely overcrowded when there are more than 1.5 occupants per room. Overcrowded households are usually a reflection of the lack of affordable housing.
According to the 2008 –2010 American Community Survey and as shown in Table HNA -5, 2.9 % of Wildomar’s owner-occupied households were overcrowded and 0.6% were severely overcrowded , as compared to the county as a whole with 4.4 % of the households overcrowded and 1.1 % severely overcrowded. In renter -occupied households, 4.8% of Wildomar households were overcrowded and 0. 8% were severely overcrowded, as compared to the county with 13.1% overcrowded and 4.0% severely overcrowded.

HOUSEHOLD INCOME
Along with housing prices and rents, household income is the most important factor affecting housing opportunities in Wildomar. Housing choices such as tenu re (owning versus renting), housing type, and location are dependent on household income. On the other hand, household size and type often affect the proportion of income that can be spent on housing.
For the purpose of evaluating housing affordability, housing need, and eligibility for housing assistance, income levels are defined by guidelines adopted each year by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). For Riverside County, the area median income (AMI) for a family of four in 2013 is $65,000. • Extremely Low Income Up to 30% of AMI ($0–$20,100)
• Very Low Income 31–50% of AMI ($20,101 –$33,500)
• Low Income 51–80% of AMI ($33,501–$53,600)
• Moderate Income 81–120% of AMI ($53,60 1–$78,000)
• Above Moderate Income Above 120% of AMI ($ 78,001 or more) Table HNA -6 shows the maximum annual income level for each income group adjusted for household size for Riverside County. The maximum annual income data is then utilized to calculate the maximum affordable housing payments for different households (varying by income level) and their eligibility for federal housing assistance.

EXTREMELY LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
In 2013, the median income for a household of four in Riverside County was $65,000. Households that earn 30% or less than the county’s median income are considered “extremely low -income.” To estimate the number of households in this income category, the City looked at the total number of households that fell into the extremely low-income range, which was $0 –$20,100 (based on a household of four in 2013). Because the income ranges in the Census do not correspond identically with the extremely low-income range, the City looked at the number of households earning less than $24,999. Using data from the 2008–2010 American Community Survey, it was determined that there are approximately 1,527 (16% of all households) existing extremely low- income households in Wildomar. Of those, 802 (8% of all households) are owner -occupied h ouseholds and 703 (7% of all households) are renter -occupied households.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-10 Adopted: December 11, 2013
OVERPAYMENT
State and federal housing law defines overpayment (or cost burdened) as a household paying more than 30% of gross income for housing expenses. Severe cost burden occurs when a household pays more than 50% of its income on housing. Housing overpayment is especially problematic for lower -income households that have limited resources for other living expenses.
Table HNA-8 shows to what extent occupied housing units (households) are overpaying for housing cost by their income category and whether or not they were overpaying.
TABLE HNA-8: COST BURDENS FOR ALL HOUSEHOLDS, 2005–2009 Source: 2005–2009 Comprehensive Housing Affordability Survey Table HNA -9 shows to what extent occupied housing units (households) are overpaying for housing cost by their income category in the City of Wildomar. Lower-income residents (less than $ 19,999 a year) made up 6.5% and
15.2% of total owners and renters, respectively.

EMPLOYMENT BY INDUSTRY
The economy has an important impact on housing needs. Employment growth typically results in increased housing demand in areas that serve as regional employment centers. Moreover, the type of occupation and income levels for new employment also affect housing demand. This section describes the economic and employment patterns in Wildomar and how these patterns influence housing needs.

HOUSING TENURE
Housing tenure (owner versus renter) can be affected by many factors, such as housing cost (interest rates, economics, land supply, and development constraints), housing type, housing availability, job availability, and consumer preference. Table HNA-12 details housing tenure in Wildomar and Riverside County according to the 2010 Census.
The City of Wildomar has a slightly higher owner -occupied household percen tage (73.3%) than that of Riverside County (67.4%).

VACANCY RATE
Vacancy rates of 5% to 6% for rental housing and 1.5% to 2.0% for ownership housing are generally considered to be optimum. A higher vacancy rate may indicate an excess supply of units and a softer market, and result in lower housing prices. A lower vacancy rate may indicate a shortage of housing and hig h competition for available housing, which generally leads to higher housing prices and diminished affordability.
Table HNA -13 shows the occupancy status of the housing stock according to the 2010 Census. The City of Wildomar had a total vacancy rate of 7. 5% as compared to Riverside County as a whole , which had a vacancy rate of
14.3%. According to the 2008–2010 American Community Survey, the City of Wildomar homeowner vacancy rate was 2.7% and the ren tal vacancy rate was 5.1 %. For the c ounty as a whole , the homeowner vacancy rate was 3.8% and the rental vacancy rate was 9.5%.

HOUSING CONDITIONS
Housing conditions are an important indicator of quality of life in the City of Wildomar. Like any asset, housing ages and deteriorates over time. If not regularly maintained, structures can deteriorate and discourage reinvestment, depress neighborhood property values, and even become health hazards. Thus, maintaining and improving housing quality is an important goal for communities.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-14 Adopted: December 11, 2013
An indication of the quality of the housing stock is its general age. Typically, housing over 30 years old is likely to have rehabilitation needs that may include plumbing, roof repairs, foundation work, and other repairs. Table HNA-14 displays the age of Wildomar’s housing stock as of 2005 . Among the housing stock, 51. 1% of the housi ng units in Wildomar were built since 1990. Only 18.5 % of the housing stock is over 30 years old, meaning rehabilitation needs could be relatively low. The City estimates that approximately 10% of the housing stock is in need of rehabilitation.

HOUSING COST AND AFFORDABILITY
One of the major barriers to housing availability is the cost of housing. In order to provide housing to all economic levels in the community, a wide variety of housing opportunities at various prices should be made available. Housing affordability is dependent on income and housing costs.
Housing affordability is based on the relationship between household income and housing expenses. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and HCD , housing is considered “affordable” if the monthly housing cost is no more than 30% of a household’s gross income.
Sales Prices
According to Trulia .com, the median sales price for homes in Wildomar as of March 2013 was $2 04,091 ( Table HNA-15). This represents an increase of 2.0%, or $4,091, compared to the prior year.

Rental Prices
In March 2013, a rental survey was conducted to determine rent rates for residential units in Wildomar ( Table HNA-16). Significantly more homes, which generally have more bedrooms, were available for rent compared to apartments. The overall average rental price at that time was $1,695. Table HNA-16 illustrates the rental costs in Wildomar by the number of bedrooms.

Table HNA -17 provides the affordable rents and maximum purchase price, based on the HCD income limits for Riverside County. As shown in Table HNA-17, the maximum affordable rent is $838 monthly for a very low-income four-person household, $1,340 for a low-income household, and $1,950 for a moderate-income household. As shown in Table HNA-16, two- and three-bedroom units were renting at median prices of $1,374 to $1,499, respectively, and therefore are out of the affordability range for very low -income households and slightly out of the affordability range for low- income households, but within a price range for moderate- income households. As shown in Table
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-16 Adopted: December 11, 2013
HNA-16, some units on the lower end of the price range are within reach of both very low- and low -income households.
As of February 2013, the median sales price for all single -family homes in the city was $20 4,091. When looking at properties by number of bedroom s, the median sales price for a four -bedroom home was $ 238,520; for a three - bedroom home, $179,860; and for a two-bedroom home, $107,200 (Table HNA-15). The maximum affordable sales price for a four -person household is $11 1,320 for a very low -income household, $17 8,590 for a low -income household, and $2 52,580 for a moderate -income household. This indicates that very low-, low-, and moderate - income households would be able to afford existing and newly constructed two- bedroom homes in Wildomar , but only moderate-income households would be able to afford three- and four- bedroom homes.

Adopted: December 11, 2013 HNA-17
SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS
Certain groups have greater difficulty in finding acceptable, affordable housing due to special circumstances relating to employment and income, household characteristics, and disabilities, among others. These “special needs” groups include seniors, persons with disabilities, large households, single -parent households (female-headed households with children, in particular), homeless persons, and farmworkers.
SENIORS
Senior residents have many different housing needs, depending on their age, level of income, current tenure status, cultural background, and health status. Senior households may need assistance with personal and financial affairs, networks of care to provide services and daily assistance, and even possible architectural design features that could accommodate disabilities that would help ensure continued independent living.
According to the 2010 Census, there were 3,414 seniors or 10.6 % of the total population (age 65 and over) in the City of Wildomar. Riverside County as a whole had a slightly higher percentage of seniors with 13.0% of persons ages 65 and over.
Of the senior population, 2,034 seniors were householders in Wildomar, representing 20.4% of all households in the city. Of those households, approximately 22.0% were owner -occupied and 15.8 % were renter -occupied. Riverside County’s breakdown was similar with 26.9% and 13.9%, respectively.
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Physical, mental, and/or developmental disabilities may prevent a person from working, may restrict one’s mobility, or may make it difficult to care for oneself. Persons with disabilities have special housing needs often related to the limited ability to earn a sufficient income and to a lack of accessible and affordable housing. Some residents have disabilities that require living in a supportive or institutional setting.
The 2010 Census defines a disability as “a long-lasting physical, mental, or emotional condition. This condition can make it difficult for a person to do activities such as walking, climbing stairs, dressing, bathing, learning, or remembering. This condition can also impede a person from being able to go outside the home alone or to work at a job or business.”
Based on the 2008 –2010 American Community Survey, 3,235 (10.3 %) persons in Wildomar and 219,271 (10.1%) persons in Riverside County had some form of disability.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-18 Adopted: December 11, 2013
Persons with Developmental Disabilities (Senate Bill 812) Senate Bill (SB) 812 requires the City to include in the special housing needs analysis the needs of individuals with a developmental disability within the community. According to Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, a "developmental disability" means a disability that originates before an individual attains age 18 years, continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and constitutes a substantial disability for that individual which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism. This term shall also include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation or to require treatment similar to that required for individuals with mental retardation, but shall not include other handicapping conditions that are solely physical in nature.
Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment.
More severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is the transition from the person’s living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult.
The California Department of Developmental Services currently provides community-based services to approximately 243,000 persons with developmental disabilities and their families through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four developmental centers, and two community- based facilities. The Inland Regional Center is one of 21 regional centers in the State of California that provides point of entry to services for people with developmental disabilities.
The center is a private, nonprofit community agency that contracts with local businesses to offer a wide range of services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families.
The following information (Table HNA-18) from the Inland Regional Center, charged by the State of California with the care of people with developmental disabilities, defined as those with severe, life -long disab ilities attributable to mental and/or physical impairments, provides a closer look at the disabled population.

HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Adopted: December 11, 2013 HNA-19
There are a number of housing types appropriate for people living with a development disability: rent -subsidized homes, licensed and unlicensed single -family homes, inclusionary housing, Section 8 vouchers, special programs for home purchase, HUD housing, and SB 962 homes. The design of housing- accessibility modifications, the proximity to services and transit, and the availability of group living opportunities represent some of the types of considerations that are important in serving this need group.
LARGE HOUSEHOLDS
Large households are defined as households with five or more members. Large households comprise a special needs group because of the need for larger dwelling units, which are often in limited supply and therefore command higher prices. In order to save for other basic necessities such as food, clothing, and medical care, it is common for lowe r- income large households to reside in smaller dwelling units, frequently resulting in overcrowding.
Based on estimates from the 2010 Census, 21.6% (2,155) of Wildomar’s households were large households, including
5.7% (570) that had six or more persons and 4.8% (479) that had seven or more persons.
As previously mentioned, 2,155 households in Wildomar were occupied by five or more persons. Of those, 1,484 were owner-occupied households and 671 were renter-occupied households.
SINGLE-PARENT HOUSEHOLDS
Single-parent households (which are predominantly female -headed) are one-parent households with children under the age of 18 living at home. For these households, living expenses generally require a larger proportion of income relative to two- parent households. Therefore, finding affordable, decent, and safe housing is often more difficult for single-parent households. Additionally, single -parent households have special needs involving access to day care or child care, health care, and other supportive services.
According to the 2010 Census, 11.8% (1,178 households) of households in the city were single-parent households.
FARMWORKERS
Farmworkers are generally considered to have special housing needs because of limited income and the unstable nature of employment (i.e., having to move throughout the year from one harvest to the next). The typical temporary nature of farm work is not the case in Wildomar . The only work of this nature is dairy work, which goes on year-round and is not seasonal.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-20 Adopted: December 11, 2013
Based on the 2008–2010 American Community Survey and as shown in Table HNA-10, it is estimated that there are approximately 76 persons employed in the agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting industry, representing only 0.5% of the total population. The demand for specific farmworker housing is estimated to be very minimal if at all and therefore housing is addressed through the current housing stock and through overall programs for affordability.
HOMELESS
Homeless individuals and families have perhaps the most immediate housing need of any group. They also have one of the most difficult sets of housing needs to meet, due to both the diversity and the complexity of factors that lead to homelessness and to community opposition to the siting of facilities that serve homeless clients. California law requires that Housing Elements estimate the need for emergency shelter for homeless people.
The County of Riverside completed a Point -in-Time Homeless Count in January 201 3. According to this data, there are approximately five unsheltered persons within the City of Wildomar. Table HNA-19 shows some of the shelter resources available to the homeless in Riverside County.

ANALYSIS OF AT-RISK HOUSING
State Housing Element law requires the analysis of government-assisted housing units that are eligible to convert from low-income housing to market -rate housing during the next 10 years due to expiring subsidies, mortgage prepayments, or expiration of affordability restrictions and development of programs aimed at their preservation.
INVENTORY OF AFFORDABLE UNITS
An inventory of assisted units in the City of Wildomar was compiled based on information gathered from the California Housing Partnership Corporation (Table HNA-20). According to the California H ousing Partnership Corporation, there is one assisted property in Wildomar. This property is not at risk of opting out of programs that keep them affordable to very low- and low-income households over the Housing Element period (2006–2014).

Efforts by the City to retain low-income housing must be able to draw upon two basic types of preservation resources:
organizational and financi al. Qualified nonprofit entities need to be made aware of the future possibilities of units becoming at risk. Should a property become at risk, the City maintains an active list of resources by which to preserve that property.
In addition, the City of Wildomar will develop procedures for monitoring and preserving at -risk units, which will include the following:
• Monitor the Risk Assessment report published by the California Housing Partnership Corporation. • Maintain regular contact with the local HUD office regarding early warnings of possible opt-outs. • Maintain contact with the owners and managers of existing affordable housing to determine if there are plans to opt out in the future and offer assistance in locating eligible buyers.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-22 Adopted: December 11, 2013
• Develop and maintain a list of potential purchasers of at -risk units and act as a liaison between owners and eligible purchasers.
• Ensure that all owners and managers of affordable housing are provided with applicable state and federal laws regarding notice to tenants of the owner’s desire to opt out or prepay. State law requires a 12-month notice.
Nonprofit Entities
Nonprofit entities serving Riverside County, including Wildomar, can be contacted to gauge their interest and ability in acquiri ng and/or managing units at risk of conversion. A partial listing of entities with resources in the Riverside
County area includes:
• Alternatives for Domestic Violence
• Shelter from the Storm
• Banning Partners for a Revitalized Community
• Catholic Charities
• Coachella Valley Housing Coalition

HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES
This section includes an evaluation of the availability of land resources, the financial resources for future housing development, the City’s ability to satisfy its share of the region’s future housing needs, and the financial resources available to assist in implementing the City’s housing programs. Additionally, this section examines opportunities for energy conservation.
REGIONAL HOUSING NEED
The City of Wildomar falls under the jurisdiction of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). SCAG is responsible for developing a Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) allocating the region’s share of the statewide housing needs to lower -level councils of governments, which then allocate the needs to cities and counties in the region. The Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) is a minimum projection of additional housing units needed to accommodate projected household growth of all income levels by the end of the Housing Element’s statutory planning period.
During the previo us (4
th) Housing Element cycle, the City of Wildomar incorporated in July of 2008 and worked with Riverside County, the Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG), and SCAG to agree on the appropriate portion of Riverside County’s allocation to take as its own. In October of 2011, an agreement was made that the City of Wildomar would take a total of 1,471 units for the remainder of the 2006 –2014 planning period. Building permits issued since July 2008 (month of incorporation) and one approved affordable project were credited toward the City’s RHNA for the 2006 –2014 planning period. In October 2012 , the SCAG Regional Council adopted the 5
th Cycle RHNA, which assigned 2,535 units across all income categories for the City of Wildomar, as shown in Table HNA-21.

AVAILABILITY OF LAND
To demonstrate the City’s capacity to meet its RHNA, an adequate sites inventory was conducted. The sites listed in Table HNA -25 are currently available and will allow for the development of a variety of housing types that will potentially meet the needs of all income groups as allocated by SCAG for the 2014–2021 planning period.
The inventory must identify adequate sites that will be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of housing types for households of all income levels. The analysis of the relationship of suitable sites to zoning provides a means for determining the realistic number of dwelling units that could actually be constructed on those sites within the current planning period. The analysis also identifies the zoning districts the City believes can accommodate its share of the regional housing needs for all income levels.
REALISTIC CAPACITY
The City considered and evaluated the implementation of its current multi -family development standards and on-site improvement requirements (e.g., setbacks, building height, parking, and open space requirements) to determine approximate density and unit capacity. Realistic capacity for residential sites was determined by multiplying the number of acres by the maximum density for the site; a factor of 80% of the maximum density was applied to account for site and regulatory constraints that may limit each site from being built to 100% density. For mixed-use sites, the City requires both residential and commercial uses to be developed on each site and requires that a minimum of 30% of the site capacity be utilized for residential uses. T he City took a very conservative approach and assumed the minimum capacity of 30% for the purposes of determining the number of housing units that could be developed to meet the City’s RHNA.
It should be noted that each parcel’s density is determined by the land use designation and not the zoning. Therefore, all sites included in the inventory have been organized by land use designation and allocated to the category in which they will develop at maximum potential.
ZONING TO ACCOMMODATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING AFFORDABLE T O
LOWER-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
Housing Element law requires jurisdictions to provide a requisite analysis showing that zones identified for lower - income households are sufficient to encourage such development. The law provides two options for preparing the analysis: (1) describe market demand and trends, financial feasibility, and rec ent development experience; (2) utilize default density standards deemed adequate to meet the appropriate zoning test. According to state law, the default density standard for the City of Wildomar is 30 dwelling units per acre.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Adopted: December 11, 2013 HNA-25
Land use designations of Highest Density Residential (HHDR) and Mixed Use Planning Area (MUPA) both allow at least 30 units per acre. HHDR allows for 20 –40 units per acre and MUPA allows for at least 30 units per acre. The City currently has 116.99 acres of MUPA designated land but does not currently have any land designated as HHDR.
UNACCOMMODATED NEED
In the 2006–2014 planning period , the City of Wildomar drafted a 4 th round Housing Element but the document was never adopted. In the draft document, the City completed a land analysis that included a program ( Program H-1.1), to amend its Land Use Map to redesignate approximately 16 acres of land f rom Medium High Density Residential (MHDR) to highest density residential (HHDR), which would allow for ad ditional capacity to meet the Wildomar’s lower-income RHNA.
Table HNA-22 compares the City’s RHNA for the 4th round planning period to the 4 th round site capacity. Because the redesignation of land from MHDR to HHDR was not completed, the City now has an unaccommodated need of 538 units for the lower-income category that will be carried over to the City’s 5th cycle RHNA.

REZONE/REDESIGNATION OF SITES
To ensure there is enough land available for the development of housing affordable to lower -income households, the City will amend its General Plan Land Use and Zoning maps to redesignate and rezone sites 22 through 25 (sites are included in Table HNA-23 and in Table HNA-24 in bold), a total of 25.96 acres to the HHDR designation and with compatible zoning (R -4, R -5, or R -6) to allow for at least 30 units to the acre by right ( Program H-1.1). If i t is determined that redesignation and rezone of any of the identified sites is not feasible, the City will identify another site or group of sites for the development of housing affordable to lower-income households.

SITE INVENTORY
Table HNA-23 compares the City of Wildomar’s RHNA to the site inventory capacity. Table HNA -24 provides the characteristics of the available sites for the development of single-family homes and multi-family units. Figure HNA-1 provides a Lan d Inventory Map showing all the available sites within the c ity. Figures HNA-2 through HNA-5 provide a close-up of each of the four quadrants of the city, again showing the available sites. The city has many sites available for the development of housing a ffordable to all income levels ( Table HNA-25). Although some of the sit es listed do not include parcel- specific information, the sites with parcel- specific data provide enough capacity to meet the above moderate RHNA.
Large Sites
To facilitate the development of affordable housing on parcels (50 to 150 units in size), the City will routinely give high priority to processing subdivision maps that include affordable housing units. Also, an expedited review process is available for the subdivision of larger sites into buildable lots where the development application can be found consistent with the General Plan, applicable Specific Plan , and master environmental impact report. Through adoption of these mechanisms , the City has the ability to provide ade quate sites to accommodate its share of the region’s housing needs (Program H-1.2).

FINANCIAL RESOURCES
The following is a list of federal programs the City is looking to explore.
FEDERAL PROGRAMS
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) – This program is intended to enhance and preserve the affordable housing stock. Eligible activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, economic development, and public services. CDBG grants benefit primarily persons/households with incomes not exceeding 80% of the county area median income. The City of Wildomar is now an entitlement city and receives an annual allocation of funding.
HOME Investment Partnership – HOME funding is a flexible grant program that is awarded on a formula basis for housing activities which takes into account local market conditions, inadequate housing, poverty, and housing production costs. HOME funding is provided to jurisdictions to either assist rental housing or home ownership through acquisition, construction, reconstruction, and/or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Funding is also provided for possi ble property acquisition, site improvements, and other expenses related to the provision of affordable housing and projects that serve a group identified as having special needs related to housing.
Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program – This program provides rental assistance payments to owners of private market-rate units on behalf of very low-income tenants.
Section 811/202 Program – Nonprofit organizations and consumer cooperatives are eligible to receive no- interest capital advances from HUD for the construction of very low-income rental housing for senior citizens and persons with disabilities. Project-based assistance is also provided in conjunction with this program. Section 811 can be used to develop group homes, independent living facilities, and intermediate care facilities. Eligible activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and rental assistance.
HUD Low Income Housing Preservation and Resident Homeownership Act (LIHPRHA) – LIHPRHA was enacted in response to concern over the prepayment of HUD -assisted housing. The legislation addresses the prepayment of units assisted under Section 221(d)(3) and Section 236 (Section 236 replaced the Section 221(d)(3) program in 1968). Generally, the law facilitates the preservation of these low-income units by providing incentives to property owners to either retain their units as low income or to sell the project to priority purchasers (tenants, nonprofits, or governmental agencies). Pursuant to LIHPRHA, HUD must offer a package of incentives to property owners to extend the low -income use restrictions. These incentives would assure property owners an 8% return on the recalculated equity or their property, provided the rents necessary to yield this return fall within a specified federal cost limit. The cost limits are either 120% of the fair market rent or the prevailing

rent in the local market. If HUD can provide the owner with this return, the owner cannot prepay the mortgage.
The owner must either stay in the program or offer to sell the project (a voluntary sale) to a priority purchaser for a 12-month option period or to other purchasers for an additional three months. The owner is required to document this choice in a Plan of Action.
If HUD cannot provide the owner with the 8% return, i.e., the rents required would exceed federal cost limits, the owner may prepay only after offering the sale to priority purchasers for 12 months or to other qualified buyers for an additional three months (a mandatory sale) and filing a Plan of Action which demonstrates that conversion will not adversely impact affordable housing or displace tenants. According to the California Housing Partnership Corporation, most projects in California will fall within federal cost limits, except those with exceptionally high rental value or condominium conversion potential.
Projects that are preserved under either of these methods are required to maintain affordability restrictions for the remaining useful life of the project, which is defined minimally as 50 years. Despite these requirements, property owners may still be able to prepay. First, the owner may prepay the property if no bona fide offer to purchase the property is made. Second, HUD may not provide some of the discretionar y monies to priority purchasers in preservation sales. Finally, the overall success of the preservation efforts is contingent on congressional appropriation of sufficient funding to HUD.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION
The cost of housing includes not only the rent but also utility costs. Higher utility expenses reduce affordability.
Building affordable homes is not the same as making homes affordable to live in. Cheaply built homes invite callbacks, complaints, and di scomfort, and they waste energy. Therefore, additional first costs to improve energy efficiency do not make housing less affordable in the long run. Energy efficiency in affordable housing, more than any other building sector, makes a critical impact on the lives of tenants. According to HUD, u tility bills burden the poor and can cause homelessness. Table HNA -26 summarizes available programs related to energy conservation that can be considered and engaged in the production of affordable housing.

CONSTRAINTS
Various interrelated factors can constrain the ability of the private and public sectors to provide adequate housing and meet the housing needs for all economic segments of the community. These factors can be divided into two categories:
(1) governmental constraints and (2) non- governmental constraints. Governmental constraints consist of land use controls, development standards, processing fees, development impact fees, code enforcement, site improvement costs, development permit and approval processing, and provision s for a variety of housing. Non -governmental constraints consist of land availability, the environment, vacancy rates, land cost, construction costs, and availability of financing.
GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Governmental constraints are policies, standards, requirements, or actions imposed by the various levels of government upon land and housing ownership and development. Although federal and state agencies play a role in the imposition of governmental constraints, these agencies are beyond the influence of local government and are therefore not addressed in this document.
LAND USE CONTROLS
General Plan Land Use Designations
Each city and county in California must prepare a comprehensive, long -term General Plan to guide its future. The land use element of the General Plan establishes the basic land uses and density of development within each jurisdiction. Under state law, the G eneral Plan elements must be internally consistent, and each jurisdiction’s zoning must be consistent with its General Plan. Thus, the Land Use Element must provide suitable locations and densities to implement the policies of the housing element.
Table HNA -27 shows the residential General Plan land use designations for the City of Wildomar. The land use designations support a variety of housing types, ranging from very low- density development, which generally includes single-family homes on large lots, to high-density development, which includes multi-family development.

DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
The City of Wildomar regulates the type, location, density, and scale of residential development primarily through its Zoning Ordinance. Zoning regulations are designed to protect and promote the health, safety, and general welfare of residents, as well as preserve the character and integrity of neighborhoods. The Zoning Ordinance sets forth the specific residential development standards summarized in Table HNA-30.

Parking Requirements
In Southern California, providing sufficient parking for vehicles is an essential part of good planning. At the same time, however, excessive parking requirements can detract from the feasibility of developing new housing at a range of densities necessary to facilitate affordable housing. The City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes residential parking standards as summarized in Table HNA-31.
Residential parking standards are not deemed to be a constraint to the development, improvement, and maintenance of housing. The current standards match current vehicle ownership patterns of residents and do not have an impact on the cost or supply of housing. In an effort to assist with the development of housing affordable to lower- income households, the City allows for parking reductions for affordable projects (see Program H-4.3)

Density Bonus
Under current state law (SB 1818 of 2004), cities and counties must provide a density increase up to 35% o ver the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the municipal code and the land use element of the general plan (or bonuses of equivalent financial value) when builders agree to construct housing developments with units affordable to low- or moderate-income households. The City of Wildomar has included Program H -9.1 to comply with state law.

PROVISIONS FOR A VARIETY OF HOUSING
Housing Element law specifies that jurisdictions must identify adequate sites to be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards to encourage the development of various types of housing for all economic segments of the population. This includes single-family housing, multi-family housing, manufactured housing, mobile homes, emergency shelters, and transitional housing, among others.

Emergency Shelters
The California Health and Safety Code (Section 50801) defines an emergency shelter as “housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. No individual or households may be denied emergency shelter because of an inability to pay.” New legislation (S B 2 (Cedillo, 2007)) requires jurisdictions to allow emergency shelters and supportive and transitional housing without a conditional use permit. The City’s Zoning Ordinance currently classifies emergency/transitional shelters with more than six beds as a congregate or group facility, and they are implicitly included as such in the Zoning Ordinance . Shelters or transitional housing with more than six beds are subject to a conditional use permit. The City must identify a zone(s) where emergency shelters will be allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use permit or other discretionary permit. The zone or zones identified must have land available to accommodate an emergency shelter.
Within the identified zone, only objective development and management standards may be applied, given they are designed to encourage and facilitate the development of or conversion to an emergency shelter. Those standards may include:
• The maximum number of beds or persons permitted to be served nightly by the facility. • Off-street parking based upon demonstrated need, provided that the standards do not require more parking for emergency shelters than for other residential or commercial uses within the same zone. • The size and location of exterior and interior on-site waiting and client intake areas. • The provision of on-site management.
• The proximity to other emergency shelters provided that emergency shelters are not required to be more than 30 feet apart.
• The length of stay.
• Lighting.
• Security during hours that the emergency shelter is in operation.
Program H-16.1 states that the City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to allow for emergency shelters by right in the Industrial Park (I-P) zone. Currently there are approximately 83.38 acres (16 parcels ranging in size from 2 to 20 acres with a majority of the parcels being 2 –5 acres) of vacant land available which would allow adequate capacity for the provision of an emergency shelter.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-54 Adopted: December 11, 2013
These vacant sites are close to services and future transit as development occurs. The sites surrounding these available parcels are mainly business park type uses, service commercial and light manufacturing companies (there is no heavy hazardous manufacturing). The re are also such uses as an indoor gol fing range, a hospital, medical office buildings , and even a few residential units.
Supportive and Transitional Housing
Supportive housing is defined by Section 50675.14 of the Health and Safety Code as housing with linked on- or off- site services with no limit on the length of stay and which is occupied by a target population as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 53260 (i.e., low-income person with mental disabilities, AIDS, substance abuse, or chronic health conditions, or persons whose disabilities originated before the age of 18). Services linked to supportive housing usually focuses on retaining housing, living and working in the community, and/or health improvement.
Transitional housing is defined in Section 50675.2 of the Health and Safety Code as rental housing for stays of at least six months but where the units are recirculated to another program recipient after a set period. It may be designated for a homeless individual or family transitioning to pe rmanent housing. This housing can take many structural forms such as group housing and multi -family units and may include supportive services to allow individuals to gain necessary life skills in support of independent living.
Pursuant to SB 2, transitiona l and supportive housing types are required to be treated as residential uses and subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential uses of the same type in the same zone. In order to comply with SB 2, the City will (1) add the current def inition of transitional housing and supportive housing as stated in this document, and (2) list these as permitted uses within residential zones.
Program H- 16.2 will address the changes to the City’s Zoning Ordinance required to be in compliance with the legislation regarding supportive and transitional housing.
Extremely Low-Income Households
Extremely low-income households typically comprise persons with special housing needs, including but not limited to persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, persons with substance abuse problems, and farmworkers. Assembly Bill 2634 (Lieber 2006) requires the quantification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs of extremely low- income households. Housing Elements must also identify zoning to encourage and facilitate supportive housing and single-room occupancy units.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Adopted: December 11, 2013 HNA-55
Program H-13.1 states that the City will update its Zoning Ordinance to define and allow for single-room occupancy units in the Planned Residential (R-4) and Residential Incentive (R -6) zones. In addition, to encourage and facilitate the development of housing affordable to extremely low-income households, the City will prioritize funding and offer financial incentives and regulatory concessions.
Congregate Care Residential Facilities
Heath and Safety Code Sections 1267.8, 1566.3, and 1568.08 require local governments to treat licensed group homes and residential care facilities with six or fewer residents no differently than other by-right single-family housing uses. “Six or fewer persons” does not include the operator, the operator’s family, or persons employed as staff. Local agencies must allow these licensed residential care facilities in any area zoned for residential use and may not require licensed residential care facilities for six or fewer persons to obtain conditional use permits or variances that are not required of other family dwellings.
Currently, congregate care residential facilities are allowable uses in most zones with a public use permit. The City has included Program H-13.4 to allow for group homes (six or fewer persons) no differently than other by- right single- family homes and for residential care facilities (seven or more persons) with a conditional use permit in the R-2 and R-3 zones.
Housing for Persons with Disabilities
The City of Wildomar incorporates the Federal Fair Housing Act and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act of 1964 as a part of its building requirements. These two statutes address t he fair housing practices adhered to by the City, which include practices against housing discrimination toward persons with disabilities. In compliance with SB 520, a complete evaluation of the City’s zoning laws, practices, and policies was done as a par t of the Housing Element update process. No constraints to housing development for persons with disabilities were found at that time.
However, Programs H-13.3 and H-13.4 have been incorporated into the Housing Element to mitigate any possible constraints.
• Reasonable accommodations – Currently the City’s Zoning Ordinance does not contain a reasonable accommodations ordinance. Program H- 13.3 states that the City will amend the Zoning Ordinance to include administrative procedures for reviewing and approving r equests for modifications to building or zoning requirements in order to ensure reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities. • Separation requirements – The City’s Zoning Ordinance does not impose any separation requirements between group homes or residential care facilities.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-56 Adopted: December 11, 2013
• Site planning requirements – The site planning requirements for residential care facilities are no different than for other residential uses in the same zone.
• Definition of “family” – The City has included Program H-13.4 to include an updated definition of family that is consistent with current housing law.
LOCAL PROCESSING AND PERMIT PROCEDURES
Development review procedures exist to ensure that proposals for new residential development comply with local regulations and are compatible with adjacent land uses. As shown in Table HNA-33, processing times for Wildomar are relatively quick: single- family projects require three months , while multi -family projects typically require two to three months (see Table HNA-34). Note: Review times differ on a case -by-case basis depending on the type and the complexity of the project.
The costs associated with development project review will vary between projects. Wildomar utilizes an efficient and comprehensive approach toward development review and permitting that allows for quick response to developer applications. The City utilizes many practices to expedite application processing, reduce costs, and clarify the process to developers and homeowners. Increased development costs resulting from delays in the City’s development review, public hearing, and permitting process are not considered a constraint on housing development. Therefore, the City’s development review process is not seen as a constraint to the development of housing.

Design Guidelines
The City of Wildomar adopted Riverside County’s design guidelines upon incorporation. The purpose of design guidelines is to ensure that the design of proposed development and new land uses assists in maintaining and enhancing the character of the community. The goals and purposes of these procedures and requirements are to:
• Ensure that new homes are constructed in neighborhoods that are interesting and varied in appearance. • Utilize building materials and enhanced landscaping to promote a look of quality, both at the time of initial occupancy as well as in future years.
• Encourage efficient use of land while creating high -quality communities that will maintain their economic value and long-term desirability as places to live and work. • Incorporate conveniently located neighborhood parks, trails, and open space.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
HNA-58 Adopted: December 11, 2013
In general, the guidelines were prepared to address market-rate housing developments. Because the guidelines have not been adopted by ordinance, the applicability of the guidelines to individual developments is currently subject to the discretion of the City Council.
Although their application and consequently their impact on below -market-rate housing cannot be fully determined until such time that the design guidelines are codified by ordinance, an analysis of the potential costs and impacts of the design standards are summarized below:
Discussions with the development community have identified only three items which have increased market -rate housing cost. These are:
• Tile roofs
• Masonry walls on interior lot lines
• Decorative masonry walls extending from the lot line fences or walls to the side of the houses, separating the front and back yards, called “return” walls
These discussions have revealed the following information:
• Market-rate builders virtually always install some type of tile or concrete tile roof, guidelines notwithstanding.
Consequently, this requirement results in no added cost to market -rate housing, and, as stated above, does not apply to affordable housing.
• The interior masonry walls do add some additional cost to market-rate units. However, interior masonry walls have not been required on affordable housing. The builders in several situations involving market -rate housing have also had the requirement waived upon request. This added cost is not seen as an undu e constraint.
• The decorative masonry return walls als o add some additional cost to market -rate housing, depending on the length of the wall (which should be as little as five feet) and the type of gate material used on one side. This added cost is not seen as an undue constraint.
To facilitate the goals of the design guidelines, the City has a number of policies that may provide financial incentives, density bonuses fast-tracking, and fee waivers to those developers that include units in their projects that will be sold to low- and moderate-income households. Currently, design guidelines have had little or no effect on market -rate or affordable housing development and therefore the design guidelines are not seen as a constraint to the development of housing.

17.220 of the Municipal Code.
BUILDING CODES AND ENFORCEMENT
The City of Wildomar uses the 2010 California Building Code, which establishes standards and requires inspections at various stages of construction to ensure code compliance. Although these standards and the time required for inspections increase housing production costs and may impact the viability of rehabilitation of older properties that are required to be brought up to current code standards, the intent of the codes is to provide structurally sound, safe, and energy-efficient housing.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
Adopted: December 11, 2013 HNA-61
The City has made one amendment to the local code, which was the inclusion of the Green Building Code in January 2011.
The City’s Building and Safety Department is responsible for enforcing both state and city regulations governing maintenance of all buildings and property. Like most cities, Wildomar responds to code enforcement problems largely on a complaint basis.
DEVELOPMENT FEES
Like cities throughout California, Wildomar collects development fees to recover the capital costs of providing community services and the administrative costs associated with processing applications.
Payment of fees is necessary to maintain an adequate level of services and facilities, and more generally, to protect public health, safety, and welfare. Based on a review of fees in neighboring jurisdictions and discussions with local developers, development fees in Wildomar are comparable to, and in many cases lower than, most other cities in the region.
As a means of assessing the cost that fees contribute to development in Wildomar, the City has calculated the total fees associated with development of a single -family and multi -family development. As indicated in Table HNA -35, development fees for a 2,000 -square-foot residential project run approximately $ 34,426 (making up 17% of the total unit cost), and development fees for a two-unit multi-family project run approximately $57,180 for two units (making up 10.0% of the total unit cost). A full list of fees applicable to residential development is provid ed in Appendix A-1.
The fees are not considered a constraint to the development of housing.

ON- AND OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS
Site improvement costs include the cost of providing access to the site, clearing the site, and grading the pad area. In the case of a subdivision, such costs may also include major improvements such as building roads and installing sewer, water, and other utilities. As with land costs, several variables affect costs, including site topography and proximity to established roads, sewers, and water lines. Engineering and other technical assistance costs are usually included with site improvements as these services are required to ensure that development is constructed according to established codes and standards.
The City requires residential project improvements to include curb/gutter and drainage facilities, sidewalks, paved streets, landscaping, and water and sewer service. The standard street se ction includes 60 feet of right -of way, with 40 feet dedicated for street improvements, and 10 feet on each side for sidewalk and parkway improvements. These and other site improvement costs are typical of all cities in California and do not impose a significant constraint on the development of housing in Wildomar. The City does not impose any unusual requirements as conditions of approval for new development.
NON-GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
LAND COSTS
Land costs are one of the major components of housing development costs. Land prices vary to such an extent that it is difficult to give average prices within small geographic regions. Factors affecting the costs of land include overall availability within a given subregion; environmental site conditions and constraints; public service and infrastructure availability; aesthetic considerations such as views, terrain, and vegetation; the proximity to urban areas; and parcel size. Generally, more remote areas have less expensive land available and larger tracts of land, while smaller, more expensive parcels are located closer to urbanized areas.
While land prices increased rapidly during the last planning period through 2005, current land prices have declined during the economic recession that has affected housing and building nationwide. Land costs in the next several years may actually help keep the cost of some new housing affordable. While rising land costs tend to directly increase housing costs, declining land costs should give developers more options in serving the affordable housing market segment, recognizing that some land currently held by developers was purchased at substantially higher prices than may be the case now.
The data indicates that in Wildomar the cost for a 7,200-square-foot lot of raw land ranges from $6,800 to $40,100 (Landwatch.com 2013), while a finished lot is valued from $42,420 to $86,500.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS
The cost of construction depends primarily on the cost of materials and labor, which are influenced by market demand. The cost of construction will also depend on the type of unit being built and on the quality of product being produced. The cost of labor is based on a number of factors, including housing demand, the number of contractors in the area, and the unionization of workers.
The construction cost of housing affects the affordabil ity of new housing and may be considered a constraint to affordable housing in the Riverside County region. A reduction in construction costs can be brought about in several ways. A reduction in amenities and quality of building materials in new homes (still above the minimum acceptability for health, safety, and adequate performance) may result in lower sales prices. State housing law provides that local building departments can authorize the use of materials and construction methods if the proposed design is found to be satisfactory and the materials or methods are at least equivalent to that prescribed by the applicable building codes.
In addition, prefabricated, factory- built housing may provide lower -priced products by reducing labor and material costs. As the number of units built at one time increases, savings in construction costs over the entire development are generally realized as a result of an economy of scale, particularly when combined with density bonus provisions.
Using current pricing sources, the average costs for a newly constructed 2,000 -square-foot single-family home (not including land) in the Riverside County region would be calculated as follows:
Item Cost
Materials $117,583
Labor $82,155
Equipment $2,962
Per Home Costs, Total $202,700

AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING
Interest rates are determined by national policies and economic conditions, and there is little that local governments can do to affect these rates. Jurisdictions can, however, offer inte rest rate write -downs to extend home purchase opportunities to lower-income households. In addition, government-insured loan programs may be available to reduce mortgage down-payment requirements.
The subprime mortgage crisis that hit in 2007 chilled financial markets and eliminated the opportunity for many first-time homebuyers to secure financing for home purchases as money lending tightened. The crisis triggered a meltdown in the real estate market as housing values tumbled, vexing the efforts of those holding subprime loans to refinance as loan rates adjusted upward. The inability to refinance many of these subprime loans led to a large increase in bank foreclosures and loan defaults. The mortgage market began to loosen up in mid -2008, but real estate values in Riverside County had already dropped nearly 28 %, creating further problems for homeowners attempting to refinance out of risky loans.
Foreclosure activity in the Inland Empire housing market spiked during the subprime mortgage crisis, leading the region to post the fifth highest level of foreclosure activity among major United States metropolitan markets in May 2008. Riverside County recorded 9,024 foreclosure-related filings that month, a 98% increase over the prior year, according to RealtyTrac of Irvine. Those filings include default notices, bank repossessions, and auction sale notices. Banks typically send default notices after a borrower has missed three straight monthly mortgage payments. May’s number represents one notice for every 81 households in Riverside County.
First-time homebuyers are the group most impacted by financing requirements. Current mortgage interest rates for new home purchases range fr om 4.5% to 8% for a fixed -rate 30-year loan. Lower initial rates are available with graduated payment mortgages, adjustable rate mortgages, and buy -down mortgages; however, the subprime crisis has affected the availability of dollars for home mortgages. Variable interest rate mortgages on affordable homes may increase to the point where the interest rate exceeds the cost of living adjustments, which is a constraint on affordability. Although rates are currently low, they can change significantly and substan tially impact the affordability of housing stock.
Interest rates at the present time are not a constraint to affordable housing. Financing for both construction and long-term mortgages is generally available in Riverside County subject to normal underwriting standards. A more critical impediment to homeownership involves both the affordability of the housing stock and the ability of potential buyers to fulfill down-payment requirements. Conventional home loans typically require 5% to 20% of the sales price as a down payment, which is the largest constraint to first-time homebuyers. This indicates a need for flexible loan programs and a method to bridge the gap between the down payment and a potential home owner’s available funds. The availability of financing for developers under current economic conditions may also pose a constraint on development outside of the City’s control.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONSTRAINTS
Environmental and infrastructure issues affect the amount, location, and timing of new residential development. New housing opportunities create challenges regarding public infrastructure extensions and expansions, and encroachment into agricultural lan d. In addition, the availability of adequate water, public infrastructure such as wells and wastewater treatment facilities, and other public services and facilities can impact the feasibility of new residential development.
Environmental
Earthquake risk is high in western Riverside County (which includ es Wildomar ), due to the presence of two of California’s most active faults, the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults.
Environmental constraints were taken into account with determining the realistic capacity for sites listed in Table HNA-23.
Infrastructure
Wildomar Southwestern Riverside County – The Southwest Riverside County Analysis Area encompasses the cities of Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Murrieta, and Temecula. Significant unincorporated areas include Temescal Canyon, El Cerrito, and French Valley.
Primary water and sewer providers include Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD ), Western Municipal Water District (WMWD), Rancho California Water District, Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, and Lee Lake Water District. Both EMWD and WMWD comply with the California Water Conservation Council and best management practices. Within this area, WMWD provides only water service s and does not operate a sewer treatment plant o r sewer collection facilities. All of the service districts stated that they have adequate current capacity to meet demand and adequate capacity to expand to meet projected development. The current facilities and/or infrastructure are reported to be in good operating condition. Therefore, it is determined that the City has enough capacity to meet the 2014–2021 regional housing need.
To comply with SB 1087, the City will immediately forward its adopted Housing Element to its water and wastewater providers so they can grant priority for service allocations to proposed developments that include units affordable to lower-income households
.
Senate Bill 244
Senate Bill (SB) 244 requires cities and counties, prior to adoption of the Housing Element, to address the infrastructure needs of disadvantaged unincorporated communities outside the city’s limits but within the city’s planning area. Because the City’s planning area does not contain any unincorporated areas, no such conditions exist.
