SUBJECT: 2024 General Plan and Housing Element Progress Report RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council receive and file the 2024 General Plan and Housing Element Progress Reports for the implementation of the City's General Plan.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Government Code § 65400 mandates that cities submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of the implementation of their General Plan and the Housing Element to their legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), respectively. The APR provides OPR the opportunity to identify statewide trends in land use decisions and determine how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. Providing the APR to HCD fulfills statutory requirements to report certain housing information, including the local agency's progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of affordable housing. Most importantly, the APR provides cities with information regarding the progress and implementation of the General Plan and is a document that can help inform community members of key projects and activities that have been completed over the course of the year.
One of the key elements of the Housing Element's progress report is to document the progress made during the current Housing Cycle. The City Council adopted the 6th Cycle Housing Element on September 12, 2022, for the 2021-2029 planning period, which was then certified by the state on October 21, 2022. This update builds off the 2016 General Plan Update adopted by City Council on April 11, 2016. The APR provides an annual snapshot of the City's progress in the implementation of its General Plan, addressing the housing activity that occurred during the 2024 calendar year, and other activities made towards the 2016 General Plan and its 6th Cycle Housing Element implementation.
The Housing Element APR also includes elements from new legislation that became effective in January 2019 that have resulted in expansive annual reporting requirements. Notable elements include the reporting of the number of entitlements that were submitted, the number of units that were approved and disapproved within those entitlements, as well as denoting which projects were submitted for streamlining pursuant to Senate Bill (SB) 35. The annual report also includes the required Housing Element Implementation table, attached to the APR as Table D, which describes the status of each Housing Element Implementation Program.
Based on the current Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) plan for the 6th Housing Cycle (2021-2029), the City was obligated to "provide" 2,866 dwelling units over the 8-year projection period, which equates to approximately 358 housing units per year. These units are also to be split between different income levels to provide housing for all Yucaipians. Table B of the APR identifies the RHNA allocation and the total number of units that have been permitted within the current planning period.
Pursuant to state law, if the City does not meet this minimum annual housing production for affordable and non -affordable housing, proposed multifamily housing projects could be approved as a ministerial action (no Planning Commission or City Council discretionary approval required), provided the projects are consistent with the provisions of state law and the General Plan. Pursuant to SB 35, cities are required to issue sufficient building permits annually to meet their regional housing targets; otherwise, qualifying multifamily development projects must be approved through a ministerial process and a percentage of each project must be dedicated as affordable housing. There are several conditions that must be met for a multifamily project to be eligible for the streamlined by - right permit process, including provisions that the projects are constructed utilizing prevailing wages.
Another element that cities must consider is that, if the Housing Element fails to be implemented, the state may decertify the Housing Element. In addition to potential penalties and fines, developers would be allowed to submit projects under the Builder's Remedy that does not require projects to be consistent with the General Plan. Communities that have been subject to this process have found that it is a lose -lose proposition, resulting in greater strain between the community, decision makers, and developers as the decision -making authority is removed. This process results in high -density housing (up to 30 du/ac) that could be proposed and forcibly approved in many areas of the City that were not originally intended. Because of the high level of risk, it is incumbent to adhere to the policies of the Housing Element.
The attached APR includes all the housing data that is required by current statutes, and includes additional information not required by statute but helps to meet the OPR guidelines and provide information to the public. A total of 222 units were entitled for all projects, including those that had been submitted in prior years (Table A2). For the 2024 Calendar year, building permits for a total of 142 dwelling units, which includes 38 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), have been issued. The progress on ADUs is noteworthy, as Strategy 2 and Program 9 of the Housing Element assumes the development of at least 25 ADUs per year — if the City were to fall short, we would be subject to a midcycle review and may have to rezone housing sites to make up for the shortfall. The City has luckily exceeded the required pace, but recent and significant fee increases from the Yucaipa Valley Water District for ADUs and the state's updated septic system requirements may impact the progress
in future years. Finally, 217 units were completed and received certificates of occupancy through the building and safety peiinitting process.
For the 2024 calendar year, 211 different housing proposals have been submitted for review (which includes both permits and residential entitlement projects), encompassing 792 total dwelling units. Of the projects that were ultimately processed by the City, a total of 190 units have been approved for development as part of completed housing applications projects submitted in the 2024 calendar year (Table A, Summary). The remaining units are associated with incomplete applications or applications that were not yet completed in 2024, and therefore were not approved within the reporting year. This also includes projects that are subject to other statutory periods, including the California Environmental Quality Act process, which results in lengthier timelines for project approval, as well as projects that have not yet been deemed complete.
It should be noted that the information highlighted above for Table A provides a difficult set of information as it covers any application for housing, including building permits. For example, building permit applications for the Fallbrook Meadows 172-unit housing project were submitted during the 2024 calendar year but have not yet been approved. However, the original entitlement for that project was previously approved and was counted in the prior year's APR. As the state's reporting requirements have become more stringent and cumbersome, filtering through the data becomes paramount. Table B provides the greatest snapshot of the City's progress specifically towards the RHNA, with 749 units constructed out of 2,866, and Table D showing the progress towards the Housing Element policies.
As indicated by the projects that have been submitted and approved, the City has worked to facilitate opportunities for new housing to be constructed. As expected (for the City and likely most other jurisdictions), due to the outstanding amount of building permits that would need to be issued to meet the City's RHNA requirement, certain multiple -family projects can still qualify for a streamlined by - right permit process pursuant to SB35, although no requests were received during 2024. However, with the approval of a few "rezone" project applications, the City has created a greater buffer from the "No -Net -Loss" provisions of state law that requires cities to maintain housing sites that meet the different RHNA income categories. In particular, while state law provides more incentives for affordable housing development, housing for all income categories is still required.
The City has been proactively working to support the delivery of these various residential entitlements that have been approved, and has implemented the additional strategies that were listed as part of the current Housing Element. This includes new ordinances and code modifications that will make the process more streamlined and consistent, which can reduce impediments towards housing development. A key program that has begun is the comprehensive update to the City's outdated Development Code. This will result in greater certainty for the City, residents, and developers on housing projects, as well as greater clarity on code provisions. The Planning Division is also managing a variety of other key advanced planning initiatives, many of which are important to the development and delivery of new housing and/or economic development growth. These initiatives will help towards the RHNA requirements for the 6th Housing Cycle, in addition to making the process easier and more transparent on the City's expectations as a benefit for residents, developers, and other interested parties.
The City has also continued to strive to implement the 2016 General Plan. A key goal that has become a greater priority and will be an ongoing focus relates to economic development to encourage more fiscally sustainable development to help address the structural budget deficit. Policies that relate to tourism, sales tax, other areas of revenue, and encouraging development that results in greater economic output per acre will become a greater focus to help maintain expected City services to the community.
Further, the City has recognized the existing fee impediments associated with the Development Impact Fees from outside agencies, including the Yucaipa Calimesa Joint Unified School District and the Yucaipa Valley Water District, and has been working with those agencies to help find solutions that can mitigate those fee -related impediments or amortize those costs over a longer period of time.
As most are aware, interest rates and material costs have significantly increased which further impact the market conditions for new development.

2 Purpose of the Annual Report
Government Code Section 65400 mandates that certain cities and all 58 counties submit an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of the Housing Element and progress in its implementation to their legislative bodies, the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1st of each year. The APR provides local legislative bodies with information regarding the implementation of the General Plan for their city or county. APRs must be presented to the local legislative body for its review and acceptance, usually as a discussion item on a regular meeting agenda. Therefore, the APR should provide enough information for decision makers to assess how the General Plan was implemented during the 12-month reporting period, typically the previous calendar year.
More specifically, APRs explain how land use decisions relate to adopted goals, policies, and implementation measures of the General Plan. The APR should provide enough information to identify necessary "course adjustments" or modifications to the General Plan, and means to improve local implementation. The State uses the APR to identify statewide trends in land use decision making and determine how local planning and development activities relate to statewide planning goals and policies. APRs may identify needed modifications and improvements to OPR's General Plan Guidelines. In addition, OPR can track progress on a local jurisdiction's comprehensive General Plan update using information provided in the APR.' Background on the Existing City of Yucaipa General Plan In 1980, the County Development Code revised the County's previous zoning ordinance and created the Community Plan System of land use districts (zoning). County -wide, fifteen community or specific plans were adopted through 1988, including the Yucaipa Community Plan of 1980.
As new State General Plan requirements were added, some San Bernardino County elements were significantly amended, including the Housing Element in 1981 and 1986. The land uses were also amended as new development proposals were considered, including many in Yucaipa.
In 1989, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors adopted the Consolidated General Plan and Implementation System, replacing the 1966 County General Plan, approximately 40 separate "Community General Plans" and several individual plan elements were prepared through the years.
At that time, Yucaipa was unincorporated and subject to the County General Plan in all its aspects.
In November of that year, the City became an incorporated community. 1 Governor's Office of Planning and Research. State of California: 2007 General Plan Annual Progress Report Guidance.

Excerpt of the 1966 County General Plan, Valley Region (which includes Yucaipa) The new systems incorporated into the County's 1989 General Plan were included as part of an Interim General Plan to help standardize and simplify the provisions from the community plan and overlays. The planning review system was also coordinated to complete the revisions to the Development Code that were needed for adoption by the City.
In order to address the City's needs with specificity during the first years of cityhood, the City Council ordered the preparation of a General Plan. This plan represented all that City officials and the public agreed constituted the direction Yucaipa should move in as it grows into the nineties and its first full decade, and had included a variety of elements from the Interim General Plan.
In 2003, a comprehensive review of each General Plan element was conducted by the City Council to incorporate current data wherever appropriate, and to implement policy refinements to facilitate the continued implementation of the adopted goals, policies and action items. However, changes to existing policies and standards were kept to a minimum. The updated General Plan and Official Land Use Plan for the City of Yucaipa were foirnally approved on September 13, 2004 and September 27, 2004, respectively. The 4th cycle update of the Housing Element was adopted on February 23, 2009, for the 2008-2014 planning period and the City Council adopted the 5th Cycle Housing Element on April 22, 2013 (Resolution No. 2013-16), covering the 2014-2021 planning period.
4 With the City's General Plan at the end of its expected twenty-year planning horizon, City Council initiated the process of an update of the General Plan in 2012. The City completed the comprehensive 20-year General Plan update, which was adopted by City Council by Resolution on April 11, 2016. As part of this process, the previously adopted 5th Cycle Housing Element was incorporated into the General Plan update.

The City initiated the update to the Housing Element in 2020, which would address the 6tht Cycle covering the period from 2021-2029. Through a rigorous outreach process, the City developed a comprehensive approach towards meeting the requirements of the state, and adopted its Housing Element on September 12, 2022. The California Department of Housing and Community Development officially certified the 6th Cycle Housing Element on October 21, 2022.
The Yucaipa General Plan is the result of an extensive planning process involving the City, residents, community groups and surrounding communities. This process has provided a forum for resolving local conflicts among competing interests and began with the identification of goals, policies and actions that were the basis of the land use plan for Yucaipa. Due to a developing structural deficit from increasing public safety and capital improvement project costs, the past several years have placed a greater priority on the economic development -related goals and polices of the General Plan to help address the needed revenue to fund community -prioritized initiatives.
This includes public safety funding measures as part of the safety element update, and Measure Date of Presentation/Acceptance by the Local Legislative Body The 2025 Housing Element and General Plan Annual Progress Reports were presented to the City Council at a regularly scheduled City Council meeting on March 24, 2025. The APR was received and filed approved by the City Council at this meeting. 5 Measures Associated With Implementation of the General Plan Major Advanced Planning Activities:
Housing Element Update: The California Department of Housing and Community Development certified the City's 6th Cycle Housing Element on October 21, 2022. The City has since begun the work on implementing the related housing programs, which are identified in the Housing Progress Report (Table D). Notable programs include the adoption of the Wine Country Specific Plan. t is a 'Housing Element"?

Winemaking presents several different elements from a land use perspective that are not currently addressed by the City's Development Code, and due a lack of agriculturally zoned land and/or historically grown vineyards, the City has conducted a two -phased approach to encourage the development of a sustainable wine industry in the community. In 2020, the City completed Phase I (research and initial outreach phase), and has since been developing a Specific Plan that can facilitate the orderly development of wineries and ensure their compatibility with the existing community, while maintaining compliance with no -net -loss housing requirements.
Following significant outreach efforts, the draft Land Use Plan was presented to the City Council, and based on their direction, the Specific Plan was drafted and completed an extensive public review process. The City ultimately adopted the Wine County Specific Plan on March 27, 2024.
This plan has since been awarded an Inland Empire and California Chapter American Planning Association awards for comprehensive planning.

With amendments made over the last few years, EIFDs are now able to fund infrastructure maintenance and housing development, economic development, transportation infrastructure, sewage treatment, and climate adaptation projects, among others. In 2021, SCAG awarded the City a grant to study the formation of an EIFD that would encompass specific project areas needing infrastructure and that would address the City's 2021-2029 RHNA requirements.
These areas include the Crafton Hills College Overlay District and Freeway Corridor Specific Plan, among others. The Public Finance Authority for the EIFD was established and the City initiated the hearing process for the Infrastructure Financing Plan for the EIFD in October 2023.
The EIFD was formally formed in late spring, 2024.
Freeway Corridor Specific Plan Update: The Freeway Corridor Specific Plan (FCSP) area includes the largest undeveloped area in Yucaipa, comprised of 1,242 acres of land, and is poised to capture a portion of the regional demand for commercial and residential uses. Its original intent was to provide job growth opportunities for the community and was one of the key strategies for providing housing opportunities that could meet the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) during prior housing cycles. The existing FCSP was originally developed in 2007/8, right before the economic recession that resulted in dramatic changes to the retail and commercial industry. Since the adoption of the FCSP, the City has also completed a comprehensive General Plan update, which was adopted in 2016. To help address the development potential and viability of the FCSP area, the City applied for and was awarded several grants from Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) that have been combined to complete an update to the plan. Several study sessions and stakeholder meetings have been conducted to gather feedback on proposed changes to this plan. The update to the FCSP was presented to the City Council at their regular meeting of September 23, 2024, but was ultimately tabled to gather more feedback from property owners.
Safety Element Update: Following the adoption of the Housing Element, the City began the preparation of an update to the City's Safety Element to incorporate new state law requirements for fire safety. The City worked directly with CAL FIRE staff on these technical elements, policy modifications, and mapping efforts to complete the necessary efforts. The update was adopted by 7 the Council at their regular meeting of July 22, 2024. Following the adoption of the Safety Element, the City Council also adopted Resolution 2024-53 on August 12, 2024, which establishes long-term funding requirements for public safety as part of new development projects.
Starling_Heights Specific Plan: The Starling Heights Specific Plan provides single family residential development standards on a 14.78-acre site and includes Tentative Tract Map (TTM) 20372 to formally create a 128-unit residential subdivision and associated community features including a recreation center, active park, dog park, entry monuments, and detention basins. The plan was adopted at the regular City Council Meeting of October 28, 2024.
Development Code Update: The City of Yucaipa formally adopted its Development Code following incorporation, using a format and general framework that was a carryover from the County of San Bernardino. Throughout the years, updates have been made to address community concerns and state laws, but a comprehensive evaluation and modernization of the code has not been completed. During the City of Yucaipa's Comprehensive General Plan Update adopted in 2016, the City recognized that a more thorough update to the City's Development Code would be needed to modernize the code framework, address updated trends that have occurred over the prior 27 years, and ensure that the code is able to successfully implement the City's General Plan. In addition, the City's 2021-2029 Housing Element update provided an emphasis that updates to the code should: 1) ensure objective standards are provided that can protect the City's interests during new development review; 2) streamline processes to remove steps that add time, cost and uncertainty to the development review process; and 3) support and address new trends in land development.

An evolving approach that values community and place since '89 The City has created a website and survey for the Development Code Update On December 11, 2023, the City Council approved a Professional Services Agreement with RRM Design Group for a Comprehensive Development Code Update. In addition to the City's funding, the Project was to be supported by the Regional Early Action Planning (REAP) 2.0 Grant. This component has been delayed due to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) disbursement to local agencies, but staff has been conducting outreach in the meantime. 8 Community Development staff conducting outreach at events in 2024 Planning/Community Development Program(s):
Restaurant Infrastructure Program: The City's Restaurant Infrastructure Improvement Program (Program) began as an expansion of the City's Facade Improvement Program by including a restaurant rehabilitation component that would support the conversion of a standard retail space to a restaurant type of use. The intent behind the proposed enhancement to the Program is to encourage the development of restaurants in the Uptown and provide financial aid to restaurant and beverage establishments for converting existing retail spaces into restaurant spaces. The Program elements were revised to streamline the Program and address potential liability matters in order to further encourage its use.
Residential Facade Improvement Program: On January 27, 2020, the City Council approved an expansion to the City's facade improvement program to include residential facade improvements 9 focuses on four disadvantaged areas within the City, specifically in the Dunlap and Greater Uptown neighborhoods, which generally consists of the neighborhoods west of Oak Glen Road and South of Yucaipa Boulevard, and between 5th Street and Bryant Street, south of Date Avenue and certain areas north of Wildwood Canyon Road, and would ultimately support the rehabilitation of units needing repair. The program was updated following comments received from those that were interested in participating.
Peiiiiit Software Upgrade: On May 17, 2023, the City officially "kicked off' the development process for a new permit software system that would govern building permits, land use entitlements, code enforcement activities, and encroachment permits. The new system, created by Tyler Enterprises, will replace the City's existing peitnit system that was implemented at the start of 2008, which was more than 15 years ago. Just like the changes to the original iPhone (that was available when the current system began), significant technological advancements have occurred to make the permit process easier, faster, and more transparent. The new system has been designed and configured to simplify the permit process, allowing individuals to submit anywhere rather than wait at City Hall, provide full digital submissions, and automatic responses to applicants, permit entitlement companies, and property owners when plans have been reviewed. The deployment occurred within the anticipated schedule, and was live before July, 2024. A series of help guides with images and video ".gif' clips are also provided to help new users. In several examples, turn arounds for corrections (where applicants drop off plans, then wait for reviews, pick up plans, and repeat) have gone from 3-4 days to mere hours.

Inspections completed for mobilehome parks by Building and Safety and Code Enforcement staff. City will continue to inspect mobile home parks every seven (7) years and inspect multiple -family projects, upon request of buyers. City completed 7 comprehensive inspections during the year as part of the Local Enforcement Agency for Title 25. Following some concerns that certain mobilehome park owners were reducing lots to substandard sizes to add oversized units or unpermitted spaces, staff began implementing a more proactive approach for mobilehome setdown permit applications submitted for the City's review. The Planning Division compiled a comprehensive data set of all submitted building permits for mobile home building permits pulled since the 2000s, including the submitted, issued, and finaled dates of all setdowns. By referencing historical data and cross referencing it with monthly field surveys, staff is able to provide improved oversight for new construction and set downs within mobile home communities and ensure that the lot configurations within the parks remain accurate.

A Specific Plan Amendment to the Uptown Business District Specific Plan to streamline the review procedures and make necessary updates to the plan based on the current conditions was adopted by Resolution on November 13, 2023. The streamlined provisions would omit the Development Opportunity Reserve (DOR) process for achieving the permissible 24 du/ac density for residential and mixed - use projects and allow their project approvals through the city's administrative Land Use Compliance Review (LUCR) procedures, consistent with the city's adopted Housing Element and General Plan policies.

Ordinance No. 426, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Yucaipa, California, Amending the Yucaipa Municipal Code Regarding Accessory Uses to be in Compliance with State Law Updates and to Streamline the Review of Attached Parking and Architectural Additions for Accessory Dwelling Units was adopted on July 24, 2023, which can further encourage the development of ADUs. Planning staff has information on current ADU law and is available to discuss ADU opportunities with property owners at front counter. Most recently, with the launch of a new fully digital online permitting system called the "Yucaipa Permit Exchange" last year, the City also created a simplified ADU entitlement application for projects greater than 800 square feet but less than 1,200 square feet that allow initial planning consideration beyond a by -right building permit. A Yucaipa ADU brochure with questions and answers is available online and in City Hall to provide to interested parties. Staff monitors ADUs built annually as a part of the APR, and requires an ADU deed restriction for all ADUs. Staff is also working with the San Bernardino Council of Governments for pre -approved building plans for ADUs as a part of a regional grant, and has several local designers developing pre -approved plans that will be hosted by the City for expeditied reviews. ADU construction continues to meet expectations; however, the Yucaipa Valley Water District have recently created significant increases in fees for ADUs which may impact future progress.

Develop a small lot subdivision

Adopt by 2024
Throughout early 2024 the Planning Department researched AB-803 as a basis for the ordinance, but with additional features to streamline and encourage quality development projects. Efforts included early discussions with property owners who have some interest in a project to assist in the preparation of the ordinance, and exploring the use of an architect/urban designer to further refine ordinance and ease -of -use. With the balance of workload through much of last year launching a fully digital online permitting system called the "Yucaipa Permit Exchange," it made sense to incorporate this standard into a larger more comprehensive ordinance update. Ordinance No. 450, which adds or modifies almost 30 different elements of the development code to provide a periodic cleanup and enhancement, including updates to state law, implementing programs of the Housing Element (including considerations for Small Lot Subdivisions, implementing preliminary economic development and fiscal revenue efforts, enhancing public safety elements, and reflecting longstanding internal procedures and processes has been drafted and is anticipated to be presented at a Planning Commision meeting in April, 2024, and subsequent City Council Meeting.

as projects are submitted
Planning staff has information on current opportunities for providing affordable housing; including ADUs, and prioritizes conversations about incentives with developers considering building housing in the City of Yucaipa. ADU brochure is available in person and online. With the launch of a new fully digital online permitting system called the "Yucaipa Permit Exchange" last year, planning staff created a simplified ADU entitlement application for projects greater than 800 square feet but less than 1,200 square feet that allow initial planning consideration beyond a by -right building permit. This application is more deliberate and straightforward compared to the previously used broad entitlement application.

Ongoing. In the last year the Planning Department has collaborated with the Building and Safety team and IT team to ensure more efficient record keeping of permits year-round. This has included prioritizing the migration of our exisiting Word Doc Planning Department Master Caselog to a searchable excel data base.
Additionally, we have had to work together to think through organizational workflows and processes to support the transition and upgrade of our existing permitting software to a fully online digital system (EP&L). Through collaborative efforts, we have ensured that appropriate data fields and information regarding housing projects are seamlessly captured across the two divisions online applications. Because of this proactive approach, the data compilation required for the APR has been more simplified and straightforward for this reporting period. As we continue to leverage the reporting capabilities of our new system, we are hopeful that data will continue to be more easily extrapolated.
Additionally, the Housing Element page of the City Website has been improved with Q & As and a "Programs and Ordinances" Briefings presentation powered by ArcGIS StoryMaps software. The goal was to improve transparency and resources for the public's awareness of Yucaipa's Housing Element obligations.
