ATTACHED SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS:
A. 2015 Annual Report on the implementation of the Rancho Palos Verdes
Housing Element (page A-1)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
Each City is required to prepare and adopt a General Plan for its jurisdiction which
includes certain mandatory elements, including a Housing Element. The Housing
Element includes: (a) an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing
needs, including the local government's share of the regional housing need, (b) an
inventory of resources and constraints relevant to meeting those needs; and (c) a
program showing a five-year schedule of the actions to be taken to implement the
Housing Element, including how the local government plans to meet its share of the
regional housing need.
In 1995, the Legislature required the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) to adopt forms and definitions for local governments to use in the
1
preparation of their annual reports on implementation of the Housing Element. The
Housing Element Annual Implementation Report (Attachment A) covers the 2015
calendar year.
Pursuant to Section 65400 of the State Government Code, Staff has prepared the City's
Annual Report regarding the status of the City's Housing Element, using the forms
adopted by the Department of Housing and Community Development. The attached
forms delineate the progress the City has made in meeting the regional housing needs
allocation, providing a list of affordable to moderate- or lower-income households for
which building permits were issued during the reporting period, and identifying a total
number of units affordable to above moderate -income households for which building
permits were finalized, based on a unit category. Table C of the Report indicates the
names of the programs listed in the City's Housing Element, the objective of each
program, the deadline for achieving the objective, and the status of each program
implemented as of the end of the reporting period. As reflected in the Annual Report,
Staff believes that the goals and policies of the City's Housing Element continue to be
implemented by actions taken by the City that balance community needs and property
rights with the health, safety and welfare of the general public.
The attached Annual Report was presented to the Planning Commission on March 8,
2016. The Planning Commission approved the Annual Report for consideration by the
City Council. Upon approval by the City Council, the Annual Report will be forwarded to
the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD). Please note, the attached report is for the current
Housing Element (certified by HCD in April 2014) and its implementation and progress
over the 2015 calendar year only.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to Staff's recommendation, the following alternative is available for the City
Council's consideration:
Identify additional information to be included in the Housing Element
Annual Report prior to forwarding the report to the required State agencies
for review and filing.
