A. 2019 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (page A-1)
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
1
I. 2019 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Each City is required to prepare and adopt a General Plan for its jurisdiction with certain
mandatory elements, including a Housing Element. The Housing Element consists of:
(a) an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, includ ing the
local government’s share of the regional housing needs; (b) an inventory of resources
and constraints relevant to meeting those needs; and (c) a program showing a five -year
schedule of actions to be taken to implement the Housing Element, including how the
local government plans to meet its share of the regional housing needs.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, a local jurisdiction is required to prepare
and submit an annual report on the jurisdiction’s status and progress in implementing its
Housing Element by April 1 of each year. In 1995, the Legislature required the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to adopt forms and
definitions for local governments to use for the preparation of their annual progress
reports. The forms and tables were expanded by HCD during the last reporting period
and updated to incorporate new reporting requirements pursuant to Assembly Bill No.
879 (Grayson) and Senate Bill No. 35 (Wiener) of the 2017 Legislative Housing
Package, and which include, but are not limited to, project streamlining and
identification of sites to accommodate housing shortfalls. This report is based on the
updated requirements.
The Annual Progress Report on the City’s Housing Element provides HCD with the
required information included on the following tables:
Table A – Number of submitted housing development applications;
Table A2 – Building permit activity summary;
Table B – Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) process or permits
issued for affordable units;
Table C – Sites identified or rezoned to accommodate shortfall housing needs;
Table D – Housing Element program implementation status;
Table E – Commercial development bonus;
Table F (optional) – Units rehabilitated, preserved and acquired for alternative
adequate sites for the 2019 calendar year; and,
Table G – Locally-owned lands in the Housing Element Sites Inventory
The attached report only includes Tables A through D, as the City has no reportable
information for Tables E, F and G. Due to the extensive amount of information on the
tables and to ensure that the information being presented remains legible, in addition to
the hard copy, the report forms are available on the City’s website at:
https://www.rpvca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15527/2019_Housing-Forms-for-Website
Staff believes the goals and policies of the City’s Housing Element for this reporting
period continue to be implemented by actions taken by the City while balancing
2
community needs, property rights, and the health, safety and welfare of the general
public.
Planning Commission Review
The 2019 Housing Element Annual Progress Report is scheduled to be reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its February 25, 2020, meeting, which will occur after the
transmittal of this report. Staff will update the City Council regarding the Planning
Commission’s recommendations on the report as “Late Correspondence.”
If approved by the City Council, the report will be forwarded to OPR and HCD on or
before the April 1, 2020, submittal deadline. The submittal of a timely and up-to-date
report to the state ensures that the City is in compliance with state law and continues to
provide funding and grant opportunities for the City.
New State of California Housing Bills
In 2019, Governor Newsom signed into law 18 housing bills aimed at addressing the
state’s housing crisis. The intent of the newly-enacted housing bills is to break down
legal barriers to housing production and to create more affordable housing. The housing
bills are divided into four general categories: (1) housing production; (2) accessory
dwelling units (ADUs); (3) surplus lands; and (4) other housing bills. The table below
provides a summary of the requirements associated with the new bills by category and
impacts upon the City.
Summary Description Impacts upon the City
Housing Production and Reducing Barriers to Affordable Housing Legislation
SB 330
(Skinner)
Housing
Crisis Act of
2019
This bill seeks to streamline the
approval process for housing
projects, which include residential
uses, mixed uses (when at least
two-thirds of the total square
footage is for residential uses),
and transitional or supportive
housing. This bill also prohibits
the demolition of dwelling units
unless at least the same number
of dwelling units are built. The
requirements under SB 330 are
applicable for a five-year period
starting January 1, 2020.
This bill prohibits the City from
(1) changing a land use to a less
intensive use; (2) enacting a
moratorium on housing and
mixed-use projects; (3) enacting
new design standards that are
not objective design standards;
and (4) limiting or capping the
number of land use approvals or
permits that will be issued.
AB 1763
(Chiu)
This bill creates enhanced density
bonus options. An applicant who
develops a housing project where
all of the units (excluding

income households may receive
up to four incentives or
concessions. For such projects,
the applicant may designate up to
20% of the total units for
moderate-income households.
applicant’s production of
affordable housing.
AB 116
(Ting)
Enhanced
Infrastructure
Financing
Districts;
Bond
Issuance
This bill removes the requirement
that Enhanced Infrastructure
Financing Districts (EIFDs) must
receive voter approval prior to
issuing bonds. Under AB 116, the
City Council, by majority vote,
may authorize the issuance of
bonds for an EIFD without having
to go through the voter approval
process, provided that the
resolution authorizing the bonds
contains specified information.
No impact – the City has no
EIFD.
AB 1485
(Wicks)
Affordable
Multifamily
Housing
Projects
This bill makes a series of
clarifications to SB 35, the major
streamlining law enacted in 2017,
which requires localities to grant a
streamlined ministerial approval
to housing projects that meet
objective zoning requirements
and provide a certain level of
affordability. One requirement for
ministerial approval is that the
project must have at least two-
thirds of the square footage for
residential use. This bill clarifies
that “square footage” does not
include underground space such
as basements or underground
parking.
This bill requires the City to
ministerially issue necessary
permits for an affordable housing
project (i.e., demolition, grading,
building permits), as long as
those permit applications
substantially comply with the
approved SB 35 development
permit.
Under SB 35, the streamlined
approval process would apply to
development projects proposed
for infill sites that comply with an
existing multi-family residential
zoning designation. Staff does
not anticipate that SB 35 will
affect the City since there are no
existing vacant lots within the
City’s Multi-Family Zoning
Districts.
Accessory Dwelling Unit (“ADU”) Legislation

Summary Description Impacts upon the City
AB 68
(Ting)
ADU
Approval
Process;
Minimum Lot
Size
This bill prohibits local agencies
from imposing standards for lot
coverage and minimum lot size.
This bill also shortens the time
period for a city to ministerially
approve or deny an ADU
application from 120 days to 60
days following receipt of a
completed application. This bill
limits a local agency’s ability to
implement size restrictions for
ADUs and requires ministerial
approval for a building permit
application to construct more than
one ADU per lot, if certain
requirements are met. A local
agency that adopts an ADU
ordinance is required to send a
copy to the California Department
of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) and amend
its ordinance as necessary to
comply with state law.
The City’s ADU Ordinance must
comply with the requirements
under AB 68 and will be subject
to review and comment by HCD.
On February 18, 2020, the City
Council initiated code
amendment proceedings to
assess updates to the City’s ADU
Ordinance.
AB 881
(Bloom)
Replacement
of Off-Street
Parking;
Owner
Occupancy
This bill prohibits local agencies
from requiring the replacement of
off-street parking spaces when a
garage, carport, or covered
parking structure is demolished to
construct an ADU, or is converted
into an ADU. The only criteria that
a local agency can use to
designate areas for ADUs are (1)
adequacy of water and sewer
services; and (2) impact of the
ADU on traffic flow and public
safety. Among other restrictions,
this bill also prohibits local
agencies from requiring the
property owner to occupy the
primary unit or ADU until January
1, 2025.
The City’s ADU Ordinance must
comply with the requirements
under AB 68 and will be subject
to review and comment by HCD.
On February 18, 2020, the City
Council initiated code
amendment proceedings to
assess updates to the City’s ADU
Ordinance.
SB 13
(Wieckowski)
This bill prohibits a local agency
from imposing any impact fee on
the development of an ADU less
This bill limits the City’s ability to
impose impact fees on ADU
development. This bill also limits
5
Summary Description Impacts upon the City
Impact Fees than 750 square feet. For ADUs
over 750 square feet, the impact
fee must be proportional to the
square footage of the primary
unit. This bill also authorizes an
owner of an ADU who receives
notice to correct violations or
abate nuisances to request that
enforcement of the violation be
delayed for five years if the
violation does not threaten public
health or safety.
the City’s ability to require ADU
owners to address property
violations to the extent the
violations at issue do not
threaten public health or safety.
AB 587
(Friedman)
Nonprofit
Corporate
Conveyance
of ADUs
This bill authorizes local agencies
to allow, by ordinance, an ADU to
be sold or conveyed separately
from the primary residence if
certain conditions are met. One
important condition is that the
property and ADU must be owned
and operated by a nonprofit
corporation.
This bill gives the City discretion
to allow affordable housing
organizations to sell deed-
restricted ADUs to eligible low-
income homeowners. (One of the
conditions to sell the ADU
separately from the primary
ordinance is that a recorded
contract exist between the
qualified buyer and seller that
imposes an enforceable
restriction upon the sale and
conveyance of the property that
ensures the property will be
preserved for affordable
housing).
AB 671
(Friedman)
Incentives for
Affordable
ADUs
This bill requires local agencies to
include in their Housing Element
plans to incentivize and promote
the creation of affordable ADUs.
This bill also requires HCD to
develop a list of state grants and
financial incentives for ADU
development by December 31,
2020.
The bill requires the City to
include provisions in the Housing
Element that will incentivize the
creation of affordable ADUs.
Surplus Lands Legislation
SB 6
(Beall)
This bill requires local agencies
preparing a Housing Element or
amendment on or after January 1,
2021, to submit an inventory of

of land suitable and available for
residential development.
AB 1255
(Rivas)
Surplus Land;
List
This bill requires local agencies to
make a central inventory of all
surplus land on or before
December 31 of each year and to
report such information to HCD by
April 1 of each year, beginning
April 1, 2021. “Surplus land” is
land owned by any local agency
that is determined to be no longer
necessary for the agency use.
Agencies are further required to
provide a list of their surplus land
to requesting parties without
charge.
This bill requires the City to make
an inventory of surplus land and
report such information to HCD.
The City is also required to
provide such information to
requestors without charge.
AB 1486
(Ting)
Surplus Land;
Inventory
This bill expands the Surplus
Lands Act’s requirements for local
agencies in an effort to achieve
more affordable housing on
surplus properties. Local
agencies must provide
information about their disposition
process to HCD and HCD must
submit written findings of any
process violations within 30 days.
Local agencies that are found in
violation are liable for 30% to 50%
of the final sale price.
This bill requires that the City
include specific information
regarding surplus land in the
Housing Element and annual
progress reports. The City must
include in its Housing Element a
description of the existing use of
non-vacant sites owned by the
City and whether there are any
plans to dispose of the property
and how the City will comply with
requirements for disposal of
surplus lands. The City must also
advise HCD of the process
followed to dispose of surplus
land before the City agrees to
terms and HCD has 30 days
thereafter to provide written
findings.

Summary Description Impacts upon the City
AB 1483
(Grayson)
Housing
Data;
Collection
and
Reporting
This bill requires each city, county
and special district to maintain on
its website (1) a current schedule
of fees, exactions, and
affordability requirements
applicable to a proposed housing
development project; (2) all
zoning and development
standards; and (3) annual fee
reports and financial reports.
This bill requires the City to
include specific financial and
land use information on its
website.
Housing Outlook
While cities do not control local market realities or the availability of funding to support
the development of affordable housing, they are required to ensure that enough land is
zoned within their respective jurisdictions to accommodate affordable housing. Staff
anticipates that the housing programs identified in Table D of the attached housing
forms will provide the required housing units under the 5 th Cycle RHNA by 2021. More
specifically, Staff recently submitted a grant application to receive state funding for the
preparation of a mixed-use overlay zoning district to consider higher density residential
uses along Western Avenue. Results of the application submittal are pending, but Staff
will report back as more information becomes available. In addition, on February 18, the
City Council initiated code amendment proceedings to consider updates to the City’s
ADU Ordinance, which may result in the development of additional “low” and “moderate"
income ADUs. Staff will continue to track and process the construction of ADUs in the
City to ensure compliance with the City’s Housing Element.
The passage of the extensive housing bills demonstrates the state’s commitment to
addressing present and future housing issues. Staff intends to work closely with elected
and appointed officials, as well as the public, to prepare housing regulations that meet
state housing law and are true to the goals and policies of the City’s General Plan. The
City intends to conduct a community “brainstorming” workshop on housing issues in the
near future.
II. RHNA Appeal
RHNA is a representation of future housing needs for all income levels of a jurisdiction
and is a requirement of state housing law. Every jurisdiction must plan for its RHNA
allocation in the Housing Element of its General Plan. Information presented in Table B
of the attached 2019 Housing Element Annual Progress Report provides an update on
the current 5th Cycle RHNA, which covers the planning period of 2013 to 2021.
Specifically, the City has provided for 20 of its 31 required housing units with 11 more
units in various income categories pending (3-very low, 5-low, and 3-moderate).
8
SCAG is tasked with developing the 6th Cycle RHNA allocation plan for the Southern
California region, which will cover the 2021-2029 planning period. HCD has provided
SCAG with a regional housing need determination of 1,344,740 housing units among
four income categories: very-low, low, moderate and above-moderate. Since August
2019, the City has submitted comments on several of SCAG’s various RHNA
methodologies. In November 2019, SCAG’s Regional Council approved the release of a
draft RHNA methodology, which was approved by HCD approval in January 2020.
Under the draft RHNA allocation methodology, the City will be required to accommodate
637 new housing units in various income levels during the 2021-2029 planning period,
a significant increase from both previously-considered 6th Cycle methodologies and the
City’s current 5th Cycle allocation of 31 housing units for the 2013-2021 planning period.
The increase in the City’s RHNA allocation and those of many coastal cities was in part
due to the request of representatives from Inland Empire communities to shift housing
closer to employment opportunities and high-quality transit.
On February 24, 2020, SCAG’s RHNA Subcommittee approved the final RHNA
allocation methodology as well as to further assess an alternate methodology proposed
by the City of Cerritos. The RHNA Subcommittee also approved a set of draft RHNA
appeal procedures for jurisdictions seeking to contest their housing allocations. The
draft appeal procedures are available on the City’s website at the following link:
https://www.rpvca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/15538/RHNA-Draft-Appeals-Procedures
The final methodology and draft appeal procedures will be presented to SCAG’s
Regional Council for approval on March 5, 2020. Assuming that the Regional Council
adopts the final RHNA methodology on that day, the 45-day appeal period will open
April 10, 2020, and close on May 25, 2020.
As part of the City Council’s review of the housing element annual report, Staff seeks
City Council authorization to file an appeal of the City’s Final RHNA allocation, once the
45-day appeal period commences. Staff intends to appeal on the basis that SCAG failed
to consider information submitted by the City related to certain local factors such as lack
of sewer capacity, designation as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, geologic
hazards and open space conservation, among other things. The City’s on-call housing
consultant, Castaneda and Associates will prepare and monitor the City’s RHNA appeal
application. Staff will continue to provide RHNA updates in the City Manager’s Weekly
Administrative Report and on the RHNA homepage on the City’s website
(https://www.rpvca.gov/1256/Regional-Housing-Needs-Assessment-RHNA).
Upon receipt of its final RHNA allocation, the City will be required to update the Housing
Element and obtain HCD certification by October 2021. The updates Housing Element
will cover the planning period from October 2021 to October 2029.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative actions are available
for City Council’s consideration:
9
1. Identify additional information to be included in the Housing Element
Annual Progress Report prior to forwarding the report to the required state
agencies.
2. Do not authorize Staff to submit an appeal with SCAG related to the City’s
6th Cycle RHNA housing allocation.
