Exhibit "A"
Revisions to August, 1990 Draft Housing Element
September 18, 1990
1. Revise Table of Contents to show pages of Chapter VI
beginning with prefix "VI ", not "VII ".
2. Add to p. II -3, before first paragraph: "The City produced
378 housing units since 1981, compared to the targeted
objective of 269 units for the five -year planning period.
There is, however, no data available to indicate the
breakdown of such units relative to special needs groups, as
listed in Table 1. Instead, over the course of the
intervening years, changing circumstances in the City
(rapidly rising land values, increase in elderly population,
availability of funding for landslide abatement, etc.) have
resulted in a focus on efforts to provide additional senior
housing and to conserve housing jeopardized by previous, as
well as potential, land movement. In addition, where
possible, requirements for "affordable" housing have been
incorporated into project approvals."
3. Revise p. II--4, Goal III, #2, Level of Achievement, to read:
"Funding availability under review."
4. Revise p. II -5, Goal IV, #2, Level of Achievement, to read:
"Funding availability under review."
59 Revise p. II -5, Goal IV, #10, Level of Achievement, to read:
"Information available."
6. Revise p. II -11, last phrase of last sentence, to read:
"...time frame, and therefore no replacement units have been
required."
7. Revise p. III -2, Table 5, add to Note. "Ni
precisely reflect changes due to differing
used by sources."
8. Revise p. III -2, paragraph before Table 6,
Census. The Table does not include vacant
the total unit count is somewhat less than
Table 5."

units, and thus

9. Revise P. III -7, #3, to read: "The City's existing Housing
Element policy is to discourage conversions of apartments and
prohibit conversion when the vacancy rate is less than 5%
since this further limits the economic range of housing. The
policy is currently implemented as conversion requests (tract
maps) are reviewed for consistency with General Plan
policies, including those in the Housing Element. The City
will further explore ways to implement this policy through
Resolution No. 90 -74
Page 4
subdivision or conditional use permit regulations. The City
will evaluate and, if feasible, implement such regulations
prior to January, 1992."
10. Add to p. III -8, new #5, to read: "Redevelopment Area
Financing Assistance: The City will continue to aggressively
pursue financing alternatives with lending institutions, to
assist residents in the Redevelopment Area to maintain and
improve the condition of their existing homes."
11. Revise p. IV -2, last sentence of first paragraph, to read.
"Assuming a 5% per annum decrease in this stock as houses
were sold and rentals changed over the intervening years, the
City would still have nearly 2,200 such dwelling units,
although rental increases might further reduce those numbers.
The Census data and extrapolation do not indicate how many of
the persons living in those units were or are low- income
households."
12. Revise p. IV -3, Handicapped Households, to delete last
sentence and to add: "It is estimated that the number of
handicapped persons may have increased since 1980 due to an
anticipated increase in the elderly population, although the
extent of the change will not be documented until the 1990
Census is available. The City has not received complaints
from handicapped persons regarding housing availability in
the City."
13. Revise p. IV -3, Elderly Households, to add to last sentence.
"...in the City's elderly population, and the City's housing
program emphasizes the needs of this special group. Since
the 1981 Housing Element was approved, the City has added
approximately 240 senior living units to its housing stock,
and has approved-construction of an additional 250 units."
14. Revise p. IV -4, 'Overcrowded Households, to delete last
sentence and add: "Due to the increase house size and
decreasing household size since 1980, the City expects that
the number of overcrowded households has decreased."
15. Revise p- IV- 4,,'Farm Workers, to add: "The City has no
reason to believe that-these residents have specialized
housing-needs except to the extent these persons are members
of other special needs groups or fall into very -low or low
income categories."
16. Revise P. IV -5, Female Heads of Households, to add. "The
City anticipates that any increase in the number of-female
household- heads since 1,98-0 would have occurred in conjunction
with an expected increased elderly population, and has
proposed programs, such as senior home sharing, targeted
toward this special needs group."
Resolution No. 90 -74
Page 5
17. Revise p. IV-5, Larg a Families, to delete last sentence and
add: "Due to decreasing household size since 1980, the City
expects that the number of large-family households will have
decreased.
18. Revise p. IV-7, third paragraph, to add* "In regards to
farmworkers, the City has no reason to believe that its
residents involved in agriculture, fishing, etc. have
specialized housing needs except to the extent these persons
are members of other special needs groups." I
19. Revise p. IV-10 to replace last sentence with-, "When the City
receives requests for housing assistance from low or moderate
income households, Environmental Services staff will respond
by looking for appropriate funding from set-aside or other
available funds. A more specific program and expenditure
plan for the 20% set-aside funds will be developed as an
implementation action."
20* Add to p. IV-10, new SUMMARY OF HOUSING ASSISTANCE paragraph,
"The City of Rancho Palos Verdes does not anticipate that
available funding will be sufficient to meet the "existing
need" requirement as estimated by the Southern California
Association of Governments. As indicated above, funding
programs to assist low and moderate income households are
generally based on the income level and market rents in a
community. Due to the high income level and market rents in
Rancho Palos Verdes, the City and its residents will likely
not qualify for such assistance. Thus, the City's housing
assistance will depend on funding from 20% set-aside funds
and housing mitigation fees, both of which will also be
required to contribute to meeting "projected housing needs."
The City does, however, propose a specific program to provide
rental subsidies to an as yet undetermined number of low
income families, and to utilize available funds to
rehabilitate 10 units for low and moderate income families,
and to conserve the 219 existing housing units within the
City's Redevelopment Area."
21. Revise p. V-2, first paragraph, to add: "The City is
approaching buildout. Accordingly, the supply of land is not
sufficient to permit construction of substantial numbers of
new housing units, and constitutes a serious constraint to
the provision of affordable housing."
22. Add to p. V-2, after first paragraph: "Employment Trends
Analysis: According to the Southern California Association
of Governments (SCAG) . employment in the. City of Rancho Palos
Verdes was estimated at 2,889 as of 1987. SCAG further
projects that the City's employment base will grow to 4,686
by the year 2010. This level of increase, however, would
require major new employers, such as hotels, to locate in the
City. As SCAG's estimate of regional housing needs is
Resolution No. 90-74
Page 6
partially based on a community's employment, housing needs
may be overstated if such a substantial increase in
employment does not occur."
23. Revise p. V -4, to add after fourth sentence: "SLAG projects
an increase of approximately 1,800 jobs in the City between
1987 and 2010, much of that within the next five years. Such
an increase assumes some new major commercial development,
such as the proposed hotels. The City maintains that, if
such facilities are not approved or constructed, then the
future low and.moderate income housing need would be reduced
proportionately. Meeting the needs of lower - income
households usually requires. housing subsidies and financial
assistance, as indicated by.SCAG, but fiscal resources are
limited and will further constrain the extent to which such
needs are met."
24. Add to p. V -6, after last sentence,of second paragraph:
"While most of that land, is zoned for single-family
residential development at 1 -4, units per acre, almost 20% of
the City's existing housing stock is comprised.of multi -
family units in zones with densities of 6 -22 units per
acres."
'25. Revise p. V -6, to add.- new..paragraph: "Parking requirements
are not'a constraint to housing affordability in Rancho Palos
Verdes as they might be 1.n,a beach city or a more highly
urban _are .a. I The City generally - requires two parking spaces
per unit,.but does not require additional - parking for
structures with more than two bedrooms, other than for
visitor parking for apartments and other attached housing.
The marginal cost for additional parking in Rancho Palos
Verdes _would be neg- ligible relative to other affordability
constraints, such..as land cost and environmental factors."
26. Revise p. V-6,-to add new paragraph (following above): "In
summary, .the- City -':s land use ,and density; tcontrols,, =as well as
its development standards..., have xprovided -a- mixture 4of types
of re_sidentia.l Aevelopments and7 densities; Remaining land is
generally constrained, by. geologic, topog-raphi -c , : and other
environmenta 1 factors and, therefore, zoning- and development
standards for those properties reflect those constraints.
The City's Residential Planned Development zoning category,
however, continues to allow flexibility for accommodating a
variety of housing sizes and types."
27* Add to- p.. V -9, end of" page.:.' "Construction of such;-- structures
is _ not likely', to, be,. constrained-- by topography or: aceess to
any greater degree than standard single- family - dwellings."
28. Revise p. V -10, Density Bonus Law, to delete the date
reference in the first line and replace the last sentence
with: "The City will comply with all elements of the density
bonus law upon receiving an appropriate development
Resolution No. 90 -74
Page 7
application for low and moderate income housing. In
addition, the City of Rancho' Palos Verdes will develop an
ordinance to implement the provisions of State law as part of
its proposed housing program."
29. Revise p. V -11, ffirst paragraph to refer to 1988 edition of
Uniform Building, Plumbing, and Me'chanica l ' Codes
30* Add ` to p -. V =11, -af ter Building Codes and Enf orcement , new
paragraph reading: "Eneroy'Conservation The City's
Building Code requires compliance with Title 24 energy
conservation standards for' new construction. Additionally,
the City's Local California'Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines require "anal Y's ik.dfn energy conservation measures
as part of any proposed project.'
31. Add to p. V -13, On -Site Improvements, new paragraph to read:
"Dedications and--f ees associated with on -site and off -site
,improvements are generally required of new subdivision tracts
or parcel maps-, not for ' improvements on _ existing lots . Such
improvements and fees are based on the actual cost of
providing needed infrastructure and public services. It is
diffIcu-lt, If not- impossible, to estimate these costs on a
"typical" development basis. For instance, parkland
dedication fees amount to the equivalent of funding needed to
provide .014 acre of parkland per dwelling unit
(approximately 4 acres"of, parkland per 1,000 population).
The dollar amount of the fee, 'however, is dependent on both
the value of the land involved and the number of units
proposed for development. other improvements, such as
roadways or landscaping, are particularly site specific,
differing widely from project to project.*"
32. Revise p. V -13, Infrastructure, to read: "Water, sewer,
drainage, and roadway infrastructure is adequate throughout
most areas of the City. The • g
y re are some existing residential
areas, however, where` *drainage and sewer-limitations occur
and septic systems are used. Roadways on* the coastal side of
the City would also 'need upgradi* n'g to accommodate an
increased level of development. Although improvements to
infrastructure wi l 1 hbe needed in the future , such fa e i 1 ities
do not provide significant constraints to future residential
development, other than in the Landslide area (R P
edevelo ment
Area )-F where si"gniflc`ant r geologic constraints' already
prohibit development. -
33. Add to p. V -14, Processing Permits and F_, add new
paragraph after first paragraph: "The City's permit
processing times are similar to those in other South Bay
communities. For example, discretionary'permits such as
variances requiring Planning Commission or City Council
approval typically take from'' 2-3 months in Hermosa Beach, 2 -3
Resolution No. 90 -74
Page 8
months in Palos Verdes Estates, and over 3 months in
Torrance, similar to the timeframes shown for Rancho Palos
Verdes in Table 16."
34. Add to p. V -14, following last paragraph, add: "Summa of
Land Use and Development Controls: The costs and timef rames
for processing development permit applications in the City of
Rancho. Palos Verdes are-consistent with those in other cities
in the South Bay area.. The City's land use and density
controls and-development standards reflect the area's
extensive environmental contraints and limited access to the
Peninsula. While the condition of sewer, water, and other
utility systems may need upgrading in some locations, lack of
infrastructure does-not generally constrain development in
the City. In summary, land use and development controls and
infrastructure are constraints to affordability only to the
extent that development-is already constrained by physical
environmental features and by limitations on access to the
Peninsula.
35. Revise p. V-17, last paragraph, to add*.-' programs may
also contribute to satisfying a portion of the projected low
income-housing needs during the planning period."
36. Revise Table 18 on p. V -18 to change #11 to read.* "93 acres;
OH, RS -1; >35% slopes; Limited access, steep slopes, geologic
concerns; uncertain development potential "; add new #20 on
p.-,..V -19 to read "Portuguese Bend ;,Hon Development; 230
acres; -OH, -RS -1 ; > >35% slopes; In Landslide Moratorium";
revise Exhibit 3 n,p. V -20 accordingly.
37. Revise Table 20 on p. V -25, to change first category to "638"
acres; "Mostly in Landslide Moratorium or adjacent with
unli.ke.ly potential. -for development in-next five years".
38 Revise p. V- 26, -4f irst paragraph, last sentence, to read:
" ..7.-1.:,deve l opment - =which is- yet to be approved as we l l as a
portion of the senior home . sharing and' domestic quarters

42. Revise p. V-27., to add new paragraphs: "In summary, based on

listed in Table 20, a total of 330-360 new residential units
could..be built under future approvals,, in, addition,. to the 600

430 Revise p. V-34, last paragraph, second sentence, to delete
Vtonly" and the last sentence to read- proposed
projects will be I evaluated. ..to address substantial, constraints
such as environmental impacts, provision of open space, and
adequacy of infrastructure, as further defined in the City's
General Plan, Coastal
Specific Plan, and Development Code."
44. Revise p.- V-35., Economic Constraints, the first, paragraph,
last sentence, to read.* "Improved lots of 10,000 - 20,000
square feet; (twol,to four units ,per acre), are selling for-,.over
$1, 000r.000 0: 'Due, -constraints,
remaining ' lto�topographic.and geologic
vacant land generally will not accommodate, more
intensive use than lots of that size."
45. Revise.p- V-35, to add new .:paragraphs to,Econ9mic,
Constraints*, "Construction costs tend to be.- higher in Rancho
Palos Verdes, and on, the, Peninsula in general-, than-in other
areas due to the
physical factors involved,. particularly
topographic and geologic constraints associated with
development. While the City estimates construction costs of
homes at appro - ximately $71, per square foot, similar- to costs
throughout the Los Angeles region, the steep topography,
expansive soils, ,a ' nd other 'geologic constraints ' raints often dictate
extensive site preparation costs,. Also, due to, the. brushy
vegetation on Peninsula hillsides and bluffs, fire prevention
often. requires ' the use of ' tile or other f ire .retardant
materials,. an additional construction cost,. Such costs are
Resolution No. 90-74
Page 10
likely to increase total construction costs by 50% or more
over standard regional costs.
Financing in the City -is generally availableto the same
extent as elsewhere in the region. The very high cost of
land, however, due to its limited availability, - desirable
location, and environmental constraints, tends to preclude
affordable market rate housing regardless of financing
options or construction costs. one area where financing is
often not available is -within the Landslide-Moratorium area
{Redevelopment Area), due to the geologic constraints on
development. The City Council, however,,acting in its
capacity as,the Board of Directors of the Redevelopment
Agency, has aggressively pursued financing assistance from
lending institutions for improvements in this area, and will
continue to do so."
46. Add to p. V -48, Implementation Actions, new V. "Continue to
provide for manufactured housing (mobilehomes) in the City's
residential zones. Development Code revisions anticipated
prior to January 1992 will include review of existing
