The major purposes are to: 1 . Identify existing or potential deficiencies . 2. State the city ' s housing goals . 3. Determine the actions which will be taken to achieve these goals . 4. Provide an on-going housing information system. It is intended that this element satisfy the State requirement that all local general plans contain a Housing Element. Section 65302 of the Government Code reads , in part: . The ( General ) Plan shall include the following elements : (C ) A Housing Element consisting of standards and plans for the improvement of housing and for provision of adequate sites for housing. This element of the plan shall endeavor to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. " ' The State Department of Housing and Community Development has developed guidelines for the contents of a Housing Element. This Housing Element includes all of the sections required by the State guidelines . The "Housing Market Analysis and Projections" report, prepared by Develo.pment Research Associates , Inc. under contract with the City of Newport, provided background information for the develop- ment of this housing element. 1 The Housing Element is but one of several elements within the Newport Beach General Plan . There is a very close relationship between the Residential Growth Element and this Housing Element. ' The Residential Growth Element set the overall framework within 'which this Housing Element was developed. The projections of population growth and future housing supply are based directly ' on the Residential Growth Element. 1 1 2. I I 1 SECTION 2 - HOUSING GOALS ' The "General Plan Policies " report , adopted by the City Council - on March 13, 1972 , includes a section specifially devoted to housing goals . These housing goals , along with the rest of the "General Plan Policies " report , were based on the "Newport Tomorrow" report which was developed by a citizens ' committee consisting of 84 citizens who devoted 50,000 man hours of work over a 10-month period. The housing goals were adopted after legally-noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council . ' The "Housing" section of the "General Plan Policies " report ' includes one general objective and seven policies which' support this objective, as follows : GENERAL OBJECTIVE It is the objective of the City of Newport Beach to preserve and ' enhance the community ' s quality living environment ; to maintain and improve the visual character and physical quality of all existing neighborhoods , and to encourage the development of a variety of new housing to adequately serve the needs of all present and future residents of the community. 3. SUPPORTING POLICIES ' a ) The City shall retain the present predominance of single- family residences throughout the community while continu- ing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs . ' b) A variety of. housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments and townhouses , as well as , attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible locations so as to offer •a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes . c ) All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevail - ing community standards of environmental quality. d) The City shall encourage and assist in the conservation , maintenance , and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain optimum local standards of housing quality and design . e) Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing code enforce- ment so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community. 4. f) The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age , race , religion , creed , color, or national origin . g) The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies , both public and private, to identify and assist in solving the housing problems of the broader �. regional community. " 5 ' SECTION 3 - PROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES Housing Supply Limitations The desirability of Newport Beach as a place to live will continue ' to result in a demand for housing which will exceed the supply. Development Research Associates , the City ' s Economic Consultant , stated : ' "DRA believes that based on market forces , there will be an excess of demand over supply for " residential units within Newport Beach during the projected period of the ' General Plan and planning measures will have to be developed to ease the impact of this rapid and intensive develop- ment (on support systems such as streets and highways , parks etc . ) within the• confines of Newport Beach . " It is the conscious intent of the City of Newport Beach , as stated ' in the Residential Growth Element, to limit the number of dwelling units which can be constructed , thereby limiting the potential ' population . Even though this limitation will result in a shortage of housing vis-a-vis demand , the maintenance of the quality of the Newport Beach living environment requires such a limitation , and it ' is the policy of the City ' of Newport Beach that environmental quality considerations, which include human needs, take precedence over the problem of satisfying the continually-growing housing demand . ' As indicated in the Land Use Element , there are approximately 4,174 acres of land currently , devoted to residential use. Based on the " Residential Growth Element" , approximately 1 ,000 additional residen- tial acres will be developed , resulting in a total of approximately ' 5 ,213 acres of residentially-developed land when the city is totally ' "built-out" ( in the sense that all vacant residential land is developed) . It is anticipated that this "built-out" state will be reached by 1990. 6. I Increased Land Values The excess of demand over supply will increase land ' values . This housing demand and increase in land values will also result in the conversion of most , if not all , of the current low and moderate cost housing (mobilehome parks and older small single- family and duplex units ) to higher-cost housing units . Subsidized Housing — The provision of low and moderate cost housing in ,Newport Beach will depend upon governmental subsidies . The City ' s ability to provide such subsidies will depend on the willingness and abilities of its citizens . In all probability , therefore , such programs will depend on the availability of funds• from sources outside City go'vernment.. A major obstacle to the provision of ' subsidized low and moderate cost housing in Newport Beach is high land values and rental rates . Deterioration of Older Units ' Another problem oc'cUrs in the R2 and R3 districts J.n the older ' sections of the City. Many of the older housing units are being allowed to deteriorate , perhaps in anticipation of near-future redevelopment to the higher densities permitted under the zoning. The City will, withi•n its budget limits undertake a vigorous building code enforcement program consistent with supporti•n•g policies (d), ' (e ) , and ( f) . 7 ' II Zoning and Building Code Violations Zoning and building code violations lead to overcrowing , substandard units , and neighborhood deterioration . Illegally constructed and rented units occur in many of the older sections of the city. Many units are overcrowded , particularly in the summer months , as a ' result of violations of the city' s occupancy regulation . Parking problems result from garages being used for storage or illegal living units , thus being inaccessible to vehicles which must then park on the streets or in alleys . Substandard conditions have been noted in many of the mobilehome 1parks in Newport Beach . These conditions have resulted from violations of the building codes , including illegal construction , wiring , and plumbing. 1_. 1_ ,_ 8 . SECTION 4 - ACTION PROGRAM The following actions are intended to assure accomplishment of the "General Housing Objective" and the implementation of all of the "Supporting Policies .for Housing" contained In the adopted General Plan Policies Report: 1 . Policy a) "The City shall retain the present predominance of single-family residences throughout the community while continuing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs . " ib ) "A variety of housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments and ' townhouses , as well as attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible locations so as to offer a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes . " Action ' The major undeveloped land areas designated for residential use on the Residential Growth Plan will Ibe zoned for planned community development at the densities permitted within the Residential Growth Element. This zoning will permit some variety of housing types , including multi - family rental units , by allowing "density- ' �, averaging" but will assure that most of the units will be single-family (either attached or detached ) . Other areas , as indicated on the Residential Growth Plan will be zoned for "-two- family" and "multi -family" development. This will make provision for the following housing types within the city : A. Small -lot beach-front single family homes , duplexes , and small apartment developments ; B . Large-lot single-family homes ; '- C . Attached " Row-Houses " and cluster development ; and D. Larger apartment complexes . The foregoing choice of housing types will allow for a variety of family sizes , types and incomes . The City encourages developments which provide for a mixture of housing types , allowing lower price dwelling units in the "mix" . Incentives and concessions leading to such developments may be made available. _ Involvement The zoning of all sites designated for residential use will be accomplished through development of the ne.cessal^y zoning ordinance amendments and zone changes by the Community Development Department and the adoption of these ordinance amendments and zone changes by the City Council and Planning Commission . Time frame All zone changes will be accomplished by July, 1974. '{,� 10. 2 . Policy All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. Action The City of Newport Beach will closely examine the residential development standards contained in the zoning and subdivision ordinances and the building code to assure the provision of suitable and adequate land- scaping , open space, parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. Involvement The Community Development Department and a citizens ' "Development Standards Committee" (consisting of 7 members with alternates appointed by the City Council ) Zwi.11 propose amendments to the residential development standards of the zoning code. These amendments will be considered by the City Council and Planning Commission for adoption . Time Frame Although revisions to development standards is an on-going process , it is anticipated that initial revisions will be adopted by March , 1,973. 11 . 3. Policy The City shall encourage and assist in the conser- vation , maintenance , and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain optimum local standards of housing quality and design ." Action The City will contact each neighborhood association _ to set up public meetings at which suggestions for neighborhood improvement will be •solicited , which may include public improvements (streets , sidewalks , street trees , etc . ) , code enforcement, and new ordinances for protection of neighborhood quality. In addition , the City will increase the level of zoning and building code enforcement to reduce illegal units , �- occupancies , construction , wiring and plumbing in �- both permanently constructed residences and mobile- home parks . �- Involvement _ The Community Development Department will , with City Council approval , set up the public meetings with the cooperation of each neighborhood association . All citizens will be encouraged to become involved . �._ Suggestions will be transmitted to the City Council for implementation . The increased level of zoning and building code enforcement is the responsibility •�_ of the Community Development Department. t} Time Phase It is anticipated that the Neighborhood Association 12 Program will be initiated by July , 1974. If successful , it can continue on an annual or biennial jbasis . The increased level of zoning and building code enforcement will be initiated immediately. I , i i i � t t t 13 . 4. PoIicy Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing code enforcement so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community ." Action A housing quality inspection and rehabilitation program will be initiated. Involvement The inspection and rehabilitation program will be conducted by the Community Development Department. Rehabilitation requirements will be set by the City Council . Time Phase L It is anticipated that the inspection and rehabilitation program will be initiated by July 1 , 1974 , and will become a continuous , on-going program. I 14 . 5 . Policy The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age , race , religion , creed , color , sex or national origin . Action The City of Newport Beach will develop , adopt , and enforce an "open housing" ordinance which will prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental .of housing. Involvement The Open Housing Ordinance will be developed by the City Attorney and considered by the City Council . Time Phase The open housing ordinance will be adopted as soon as possible but in no event later than December , 1974. r 15. 6 . Polic The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies both public and private , to identify and assist in solving the housing problems of the broader regional community." Action In view of the regional nature of the problem of prov.iding adequate low and moderate-cost housing , the City of Newport Beach will cooperate with the Orange County Housing Authority. Also , the City will be responsive to recognized groups or organizations qualified to advise it concerning ways in which it too may assist directly in this local , regional , state and national problem. Involvement This action will be taken by the City Council . Time Phase Prior to July 1 , 1974. 16. SECTION 5 - INFORMATION REVIEW AND UPDATING i Information System The Newport Beach Community Development Department will continue to assist decision makers both private and public by providing in- formation about housing and population. The lack of up-to-date accurate information is an obstacle which can be overcome at the local level . The Community Development Department in the course of its day-to -day operations , has access to much of the data necessary to make good decisions about housing , and it is also in the position to obtain and make available other information on a continuing basis . Providing useful data at the proper time to individuals who need the information to make housing decisions will continue to be a function of the Community Development Department. Improvement of the scope of data provided is an on -going function of the Department . Computerization of the data stock is currently being undertaken . This is being done in order to maintain a more up-to- date data source and provide a highly organized system for storage of a large data stock. This program is being implemented by the City and should be completed in two years . Review and Updating The Housing Element along with the other General Plan elements will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on an annual basis . Any pro- posed amendments to the Housing Element will be discussed at public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council . The 17. public hearing process will provide an opportunity for continued citizen participation in the Housing Element . Annual updatings and reprintings of t-he Housing Element will be submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for their review . is 18 .

Nearly 17 percent, or 2 , 225 families residing in Newport Beach received some form of Social Security income during 1970. Table No. 4 gives a detailed breakdown of family incomes by census tracts for 1969 . Family income projections made by Development Research •Associates (Table 5) suggest that by 1990 Orange County median family income will reach $36 ,440 ( in current dollars ) , while the median family income for Newport Beach will exceed $60 ,000 . The 1970-80 rate is slightly higher than the historic 1960 to 1970 growth rate under the assumption that the desirability of the area will attract increasing numbers of high- income families . This same factor will also increase the rate at which high- paying jobs are created since local business will find it relatively easy to recruit top executive talent into the area . Real purchasing power , expressed as deflated 1990 dollars , is expected to be 1 25 . $35 ,000 to $45 ,000 when inflating distortions are removed from the Newport Beach income projection . The projections assume that Newport Beach and Laguna Beach will continue to attract the highest income families while Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach will attract middle and upper middle —income families but at a slower rate than in the past.

HOUSEHOLD SIZE In 1970 there was a total of 19 , 280 households in Newport Beach and the median size household at that time was 2. 3 persons . Census data reported in 1960 shows a total of 9 , 972 households with the median size being 2. 65 persons . ' Sixty percent of all households contained two persons or fewer in 1970 , and 77 percent have three or fewer. Only 10. 6 percent of all households contain more than four persons , while only 12 . 7 percent contained the "classic" family size of the past decade , four persons . Table No. 7 shows a detailed breakdown by census tract. In 1970 , family households comprised 68 percent of all households , with an average size of 3. 1 persons per household . Non-family households averaged only 1 . 4 persons . Predictably, households �. owning units were larger than those renting -- 2. 7 persons versus 1 . 9 for renting. The average size for all households of 2. 6 exceeded the median of 2. 3 persons--indicating the presence of some significantly larger (probably family ) households which biased the average size upward.

Of these units 2 ,932 were vacant year round units and 266 were vacant seasonal units . However, only 1 , 399 of the year round units were offered on the market for oc- cupancy . Those units vacant and for sale numbered 289 , represent- ing a 2. 6 percent vacancy rate for owner type units . Units vacant and for rent were more plentiful numbering 1 , 110 units , resulting in a 11. 6 percent vacancy rate for rental type units . The combin- ed vacancy rate for both types of units indicated that Newport Beach has an effective housing vacancy rate of 6. 8 percent. The 1 , 533 year round units not offered for sale or rent were being held off the market for personal reasons of the owners . If this group of vacant units was added to those vacant and available for occupancy the vacancy rate would be 13. 2 percent of all the ,year round housing units . If the 266 vacant seasonal units are added to the total vacant year round units Newport Beach shows a 14. 2 percent vacancy rate. 39. jTABLE 12 EFFECTIVE VACANCY AND EFFECTIVE VACANCY RATE 1970 Census For Sale For Rent Total Tract # % # % # % 626. 01 0 - 0 - 0 - 626. 03 152 11 . 5 11 7. 5 163 11 . 1 1 627 . 43 2. 3 98 5. 8 141 4. 0 628. 5 0. 6 207 14. 5 212 9 . 3 629. 13 2. 1 9 5. 2 22 2. 8 630. 01 16 1 . 0 440 29 . 4 456 14. 8 630 . 02 42 2. 7 116 7. 9 158 5. 2 630. 03 1 0. 2 20 20. 2 21 3. 1 631.01 0 - 0 - 0 - 631 . 03 0 - 0 - 0 - 633. 1 1 . 3 3 6. 0 4 3. 2 634. 6 0. 5 83 10. 7 89 4. 4 635. 9 1 . 1 111 6. 1 120 4. 5 636. 01 0 - 0 - 0 - 636. 02 0 - 0 - 0 - 636. 03 1 0. 2 12 2. 8 13 1 . 5 CITY 289 2 . 6 1 , 110 11 . 6 1399 6. 8 Source : 1970 Census 40.

In Table 18, the housing units " lacking plumbing" data refers to those units which lack either piped hot and/or cold water, lack a toilet or bathtub , or have a toilet or bathing facility used by occupants of another unit. Persons-per- room factors provide information on crowding . 1 . 01 - 1 . 50 persons per room is considered slight crowding by the Bureau of the Census and 1 . 51 or more persons per room is considered overcrowding. tIn contrast to the small number of persons per household in Newport Beach is the relatively large size of individual dwelling units . Almost 60% of the all year-round units were between 4 tand 6 rooms or larger. A detailed breakdown of housing unit sizes by census tract is presented in Table 19. Table 21 pro-vides age breakdowns for Newport Beach housing by tcensus tract as reported by the 1970 census . Offer 43% of the all year- round units are less than 10 years old . Slightly over it28 percent of the year-round units are between 10 and 20 years J_ old. Units 20 years and older represent 28. 5 percent of Newport Beach ' s year- round housing stock . Despite the age of many of the structures in Newport Beach , their condition is quite good. The high level of maintenance if attributed to high market values 1 and rental capabilities . t 47. t TABLE 18 HOUSING .

The major purposes are to: 1 . Ident.ify existing or potential deficiencies . 2 . State the city ' s housing goals . 3. Determine the actions which will be taken to achieve these goals . 4. Provide an on-going housing information system. It is intended that this element satisfy the State requirement that all local general plans contain a Housing Element. Section 65302 of the Government Code reads , in part: . . The (General ) Plan shall include the following elements : (C ) A Housing Element consisting of standards and plans for the improvement of housing and for provision of adequate sites for housing . This element of the plan shall endeavor to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. " The State Department of Housing and Community Development has developed guidelines for the contents of a Housing Element. This Housing Element includes all of the sections required by the State guidelines . The "Housing Market Analysis and Projections " report, prepared by Development Research Associates , Inc. under contract with the City of Newport, provided background information for the develop- ment of this housing element. 1 . The Housing Element is but one of several elements within the Newport Beach General Plan . There is a very close relationship between the Residential Growth Element and this Housing Element. The Residential Growth Element set the overall framework within which this Housing Element was developed. The projections of population growth and future housing supply are based directly on the Residential Growth Element. 2. w i SECTION 2 - HOUSING GOALS The " General Plan Policies" report , adopted by the City Council on March 13 , 1972 , includes a section specifially devoted to housing goals . These housing goals , along with the rest of the "General Plan Policies " report , were based on the "Newport Tomorrow" report which was developed by a citizens ' committee consisting of 84 citizens who devoted 50 , 000 man hours of work over a 10-month period. The housing goals were adopted after legally-noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council . The "Housing" section of the " General Plan Policies " report includes one general objective and seven policies which support this objective , as follows : GENERAL OBJECTIVE It is the objective of the City of Newport Beach to preserve and enhance the community ' s quality living environment; to maintain and improve the visual character and physical quality of all existing neighborhoods , and to encourage the development of a variety of new housing to adequately serve the needs of all present and future residents of the community. 3. { , SUPPORTING POLICIES a) The City shall retain the present predominance of single- family residences throughout the community while continu- ing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs . b) A variety of housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments and townhouses , as well as attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible locations so as to offer a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes . c) All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevail - ing Y communit standards of environmental quality. d) The City shall encourage and assist in the conservation , maintenance , and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain - optimum local standards of housing quality and design . e) Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing cod e enforce- ment so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community. 4. f) The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age, race , religion , creed , color, or national origin . g ) The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies , both public and private, to identify and assist in solving the housing problems of the broader regional community. " 5. 4 SECTION 3 - PROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES Housing Supply Limitations The desirability of Newport Beach as a place to live will continue to result in a demand for housing which will exceed the supply. Development Research Associates , the City ' s Economic Consultant , stated : "DRA believes that based on market forces , there will be an excess of demand over supply for residential units within Newport Beach during the projected period of the General Plan and planning measures will have to be developed to ease the impact of this rapid and intensive develop- ment (on support systems such as streets and highways , parks etc . ) within the confines of Newport Beach. " It is the conscious intent of the City of Newport Beach , as stated in the Residential Growth Element, to limit the number of dwelling units which can be constructed , thereby limiting the potential population . Even though this limitation will result in a shortage of housing vis-a-vis demand , the maintenance of the quality of the Newport Beach living environment requires such a limitation , and it is the policy of the City of Newport Beach that environmental quality considerations, which include human needs, take precedence over the problem of satisfying the continually-growing housing demand . As indicated in the Land Use Element , there are approximately 4 ,174 acres of land currently devoted to residential use. Based on the " Residential Growth Element" , approximately 1 ,000 additional residen- tial acres will be developed , resulting in a total of approximately 5 ,213 acres of residentially-developed land when the city is totally "built-out" ( in the sense that all vacant residential land is developed) . It is anticipated that this "built-out" state will be reached by 1990. 6 . Increased Land Values The excess of demand over supply will increase land values . This housing demand and increase in land values will also result in the conversion of most , if not all , of the current low and moderate cost housing (mobilehome parks and older small single- family and duplex units ) to higher-cost housing units . Subsidized Housing The provision of low and moderate cost housing in Newport Beach will depend upon governmental subsidies . The City ' s ability to provide such subsidies will depend on the willingness and abilities of its citizens . In all probability , therefore , such programs will depend on the availability of funds from sources outside City government. A major obstacle to the provision of subsidized low and moderate cost housing in Newport Beach is high land values and rental rates . Deterioration of Older Units Another problem occurs in the R2 and R3 districts in the older sections of the City. Many of the older housing units are being allowed to deteriorate , perhaps in anticipation of near-future redevelopment to the higher densities permitted under the zoning. The City will, within its budget limits, undertake a vigorous building code enforcement program consistent with supporting policies (d), (e) , and M . 7 z Zoning and Building Code_ Violations Zoning and building code violations lead to overcrowing , substandard units , and neighborhood deterioration . Illegally constructed and rented units occur in many of the older sections of the city. Many units are overcrowded , particularly in the summer months , as a result of violations of the city ' s occupancy hegulation . Parking problems result from garages being used for storage or illegal living units , thus being inaccessible to vehicles which must then park on the streets or in alleys . Substandard conditions have been noted in many of the mobilehome parks in Newport Beach . These conditions have resulted from violations of the building codes , including illegal construction , wiring , and plumbing. 8. SECTION 4 - ACTION PROGRAM The following actions are intended to assure accomplishment of the "General Housing Objective" and the implementation of all of the "Supporting Policies for Housing" contained in the adopted General Plan Policies Report: 1 . Policy a) "The City shall retain the present predominance of single-family residences throughout the community while continuing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs . " b ) "A variety of housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments and townhouses , as well as attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible locations so as to offer a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes . " Action The major undeveloped land areas designated for residential use on the Residential Growth Plan will be zoned for planned community development at the densities permitted within the Residential Growth Element. This zoning will permit some variety of housing types , including multi - family rental units , by allowing "density- averaging" but will assure that most of the 9. i . Y r units will be single-family (either attached or detached) . Other areas , as indicated on the Residential Growth Plan will be zoned for "two- family" and "multi -family" development. This will make provision for the following housing types within .the city : A. Small -lot beach-front single family homes , duplexes , and small apartment developments ; B . Large-lot single-family homes ; C. Attached "Row-Houses " and cluster development; and D. Larger apartment complexes . The foregoing choice of housing types will allow for a variety of family sizes , types and incomes . The City encourages developments which provide for a mixture of housing types , allowing lower price dwelling units in the "mix" . Incentives and concessions leading to such developments may be made available: Involvement The zoning of all sites designated for residential use will be accomplished through development of the necessary zoning ordinance amendments and zone changes by the Community Development Department and the adoption of these ordinance amendments and zone changes by the City Council and Planning Commission . Time Frame All zone changes will be accomplished by July , 1974. 10. t 2 . Pol icy All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. Action The City of Newport Beach will closely examine the residential development standards contained in the zoning and subdivision ordinances and the building code to assure the provision of suitable and adequate land- scaping , open space, parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. Involvement The Community Development Department and a citizens ' "Development Standards Committee" (consisting of 7 members with alternates appointed by the City Council ) will propose amendments to the residential development standards of the zoning code. These amendments will be considered by the City Council and Planning Commission for adoption . Time Frame Although revisions to development •standards is an on-going process , it is anticipated that initial revisions will be adopted by March , 1973. 11 . Y. ! ' 4 3. Policy' The City shall encourage and assist in the conser- vation , maintenance , and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain optimum local standards of housing quality and design ." Action The City will contact each neighborhood association to set. up public meetings at which suggestions for neighborhood improvement will be solicited, which may include public improvements (streets , sidewalks , street trees , etc. ) , code enforcement, and new ordinances for protection of neighborhood quality. In addition , the City will increase the level of zoning and building code enforcement to reduce illegal units , occupancies , construction , wiring and plumbing in both permanently constructed residences and mobile- home parks . Involvement The Community Development Department will , with City Council approval , set up the public meetings with the cooperation of each neighborhood association . All citizens will be encouraged to become involved . Suggestions will be transmitted to the City Council for implementation . The incheased level of zoning and building code enforcement is the responsibility of the Community Development Department. Time Phase It is anticipated that the Neighborhood Association Y 12 L 1 � Program will be initiated by July , 1974. If successful , it can continue on an annual or biennial basis . The increased level of zoning and building code enforcement will be initiated immediately . r r 13 . 4. PolicyI Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing code enforcement so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community ." Action A housing quality inspection and rehabilitation program will be initiated . i Involvement The inspection and rehabilitation program will be conducted by the Community Development Department. Rehabilitation requirements will be set by the City Council . Time Phase It is anticipated that the inspection and rehabilitation program will be initiated by July 1 , 1974 , and will become a continuous , on-going program. 14. L I , Il 5 , Pol icy The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age , race , religion , creed , color, sex or national origin ." Action The City of Newport Beach will develop , adopt , and enforce an "open housing" ordinance which will prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. Involvement The Open Housing Ordinance will be developed by the City Attorney and considered by the City Council . Time Phase The open housing ordinance will be adopted as soon as possible but in no event later than December , 1974 . 15. w 6 . P01icy The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies both public and private , to identify and assist in solving the housing problems of the broader regional community." Action In view of the regional nature of the problem of providing adequate low and moderate-cost housing , the City of Newport Beach will cooperate with the Orange County Housing Authority. Also , the City will be responsive to recognized groups or organizations qualified to advise it concerning ways in which it too may assist directly in this local , regional , state and national problem. Involvement This action will be taken by the City Council . Time Phase Prior to July 1 , 1974. 16. SECTION 5 - INFORMATION REVIEW AND UPDATING Information System The Newport Beach Community Development Department will continue to assist decision makers both private and public by providing in- formation about housing and population . The lack of up-to-date accurate information is an obstacle which can be overcome at the local level . The Community Development Department in the course of its day-to -day operations , has access to much of the data necessary to make good decisions about housing , and it is also in the position to obtain and make available other information on a continuing basis . Providing useful data at the proper time to individuals who need the information to make housing decisions will continue to be a function of the Community Development Department. Improvement of the scope of data provided is an on -going function of the Department. Computerization of the data stock is currently being undertaken . This is being done in order to maintain a more up-to- date data source and provide a highly organized system for storage of a large data stock. This program is being implemented by the City and should be completed in two years . Review and Updating The Housing Element along with the other General Plan elements will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on an annual basis . Any pro- posed amendments to the Housing Element will be discussed at public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council . The iB 17 � r public hearing process will provide an opportunity for continued citizen participation in the Housing Element . Annual updatings and reprintings of t-he Housing Element will be submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for their review . 18.

Of these families 611 , or 4. 6 percent earned yearly incomes below the 1970 poverty level . By comparison , 28,546 families or 7. 9 percent of the families in Orange County earned yearly incomes below 4,000 dollars . 18 , 608 or 5. 2 percent of Orange County families earned yearly incomes below the 1970 poverty level• . There were 286 families , or 2. 2 percent of the families in Newport Beach receiving public assistance or public welfare income. Nearly 17 percent , or 2 ,225 families residing in Newport Beach received some form of Social Security income during 1970. Table No. 4 gives a detailed breakdown of family incomes by census tracts for 1969 . Family income projections made by Development Research Associates (Table 5) suggest that by 1990 Orange County median family income will reach $36 ,440 ( in current dollars ) , while the median family income for Newport Beach will exceed $60 ,000. The 1970-80 rate is slightly higher than the historic 1960 to 1970 growth rate under the assumption that the desirability of the area will attract increasing numbers of high-income families . This same factor will also increase the rate at which high- paying jobs are created since local business will find it relatively easy to recruit top executive talent into the area. Real purchasing power, expressed as deflated 1990 dollars , is expected to be 25. $35 ,000 to $45 ,000 when inflating distortions are removed from the Newport Beach income projection . The projections assume that Newport Beach and Laguna Beach will continue to attract the highest income families while Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach will attract middle and upper middle income families but at a slower rate than in the past. 26.

HOUSEHOLD SIZE In 1970 there was a total of 19 ,280 households in Newport Beach and the median size household at that time was 2. 3 persons . Census data reported in 1960 shows a total of 9 , 972 households with the median size being 2. 65 persons . Sixty percent of all households contained two persons or fewer in 1970 , and 77 percent have three or fewer. Only 10. 6 percent of all households contain more than four persons , while only 12 . 7 percent contained the "classic" family size of the past decade, four persons . Table No. 7 shows a detailed breakdown by census tract. In 1970 , family households comprised 68 percent of all households , with an average size of 3. 1 persons per household . Non-family households averaged only 1 . 4 persons . Predictably, households owning units were larger than those renting -- 2. 7 persons versus 1 . 9 for renting . The average size for all households of 2. 6 exceeded the median of 2. 3 persons--indicating the presence of some significantly larger (probably family) households which biased the average size upward.

Census data reported for 1960 shows that 77. 3% of the housing units were single-family , 12. 9% two-family and 9. 8% multi -family. Housing unit projections in the Residential Growth Element indicate that further changes in the housing mix can be anticipated.

Of these units 2 ,932 were vacant year round units and 266 were vacant seasonal units . However, only 1 , 399 of the year round units were offered on the market for oc- cupancy . Those units vacant and for sale numbered 289 , represent- ing a 2. 6 percent vacancy rate for owner type units . Units vacant and for rent were more plentiful numbering 1 , 110 units , resulting in a 11. 6 percent vacancy rate for rental type units . The combin- ed vacancy rate for both types of units indicated that Newport Beach has an effective housing vacancy rate of 6 . 8 percent. The 1 , 533 year round units not offered for sale or rent were being held off the market for personal reasons of the owners . If this group of vacant units was added to those vacant and available for occupancy the vacancy rate would be 13. 2 percent of all the year round housing units . If the 266 vacant seasonal units are added to the total vacant year round units Newport Beach shows a 14. 2 percent vacancy rate. 39 .

In Table 18, the housing units " lacking plumbing" data refers to those units which lack either piped hot and/or cold water, lack a toilet or bathtub , or have a toilet or bathing facility used by occupants of another unit. Persons-per-room factors provide information on crowding. 1 . 01 - 1 . 50 persons per room is considered slight crowding by the Bureau of the Census and 1 . 51 or more persons per room is considered overcrowding. In contrast to the small number of persons per household in Newport Beach is the relatively large size of individual dwelling units Almost 6 0% of the -all year-round units were between 4 and 6 rooms or larger. A detailed breakdown of housing unit sizes by census tract is presented in Table 19. Table 21 provides age breakdowns for Newport Beach housing by census tract as reported by the 1970 census . Over 43% of the all year-round units are less than 10 years old . Slightly over 28 percent of the year-round units are between 10 and 20 years old. Units 20 years and older represent 28. 5 percent of Newport Beach ' s year- round housing stock. Despite the age of many of the structures in Newport Beach , their condition is quite good.

I . This E . I . R. has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the C . E. Q . A. and the guidelines of the City of Newport Beach . It is the intent of this report to explore and evaluate the signifi - cant City-wide environmental impacts of the Housing Element of the Newport Beach General Plan . The Housing Element of the Newport Beach General Plan addresses the question of the quality and supply of all categories of housing for the current and future residents of the city. THe major purposes are to : 1 . Identify e-xisting or potential deficiencies . 2. State the city ' s housing goals . 3. Determine the actions which will be taken to achieve these goals . 4. Provide an on-going housing information system. It is intended that this element satisfy the State requirement that all local general plans contain a Housing Element. Section 65302 of the Government Code reads , in part: . .The (General ) Plan shall include the following elements : (C ) A Housing Element consisting of standards and plans for the improvement of housing and for provision of adequate sites for housing. This element of the plan shall endeavor to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. " The State Department of Housing and Community Development has developed guidelines for the contents of a Housing Element . This Housing Element, includes all of the sections required by the State guidelines. -1 - L II . SCOPE OF REPORT This report considers the significant City-wide environmental impacts of this element of the General Plan on existing and future residential areas . It does not consider environmental impacts of any .specific project which may subsequently be built in compliance with this element, nor does it exempt any such project from complying with the requirements of the C . E . Q .A. III . DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING Historically , the City of Newport Beach developed as a series of small communities or "villages " , separated by the natural geographic form of the bay. Each of these communities had its continued to own name , character, and identity. As the City c• grow and new communities and neighborhoods were developed , they , in turn , established their own identity. There are a number of unifying factors within the City which help to link the various communities together. These include the unique combination of the bay and the ocean . In recent years the City has experienced extremely rapid growth in terms of residential development and population . The desirability of Newport Beach as a place to live will continue to result in high land values and a demand for housing which will exceed the supply. The following types of housing exists within the City : A. Small -lot beach-front single family homes , duplexes , and small apartment developments ; B . Large-lot single-family homes ; C . Attached " Row-Houses " and cluster development ; and D. Larger apartment complexes . IV. HOUSING ELEMENT OBJECTIVES The "General Plan Policies " report, adopted by the City. Council on March 13 , 1972 , includes a section specifically devoted to housing goals . These housing goals , along with the rest of the "General Plan Policies" report , were based on the "Newport Tomorrow" report which was developed by a citizens ' -2- committee consisting of 84 citizens who devoted 50, 000 man over a 10-month period. The housing goals were hours of work v adopted after legally-noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council . The "Housing" section of the "General Plan Policies " report includes one general objective and seven policies which support this objective, as follows : GENERAL OBJECTIVE It is the objective of the City of Newport Beach to preserve and enhance the community ' s quality living environment; to maintain and improve the visual character and physical quality of all existing neighborhoods , and to encourage the development of a variety of new housing to adequately serve the needs of all present and future residents of the community. SUPPORTING POLICIES a ) The City shall retain the present predominance of single-family residences throughout the community while continuing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs . b ) A variety of housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments• and townhouses , as well as attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible loc'ations so as to offer a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes . c ) All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space, parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. d ) The City shall encourage and assist in the conservation , maintenance , and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain optimum local standards of housing quality and design . -3- e) Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing code enforcement so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community. f) The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age , race , religion , creed , color , or national origin . g ) The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies , both public and private , to identify and assist in salving the housing problems of the broader regional community. V. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED ACTION The Housing Element does not propose any specific development. Rather it proposes that the Newport Beach residential environment be protected from the adverse environmental effects of deterioration and poor-quality development. Therefore , the primary environmental impact of the Housing Element will be beneficial to the environment. VI . ANY ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS WHICH CANNOT BE AVOIDED IF THE PROPOSAL IS IMPLEMENTED As stated above , no adverse environmental effects are anticipated as the result of the adoption of this element ; rather the environmental effects will be beneficial . VII . MITIGATION MEASURES PROPOSED TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT Since no adverse impact is anticipated , no mitigation measures are necessary. VIII . ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION One alternative is simply not to adopt a Housing Element. This would be in violation of the State Government Code which requires cities to adopt a Housing Element, and would be detrimental to the residential environment. -4- y _ 1 1' IX . RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOCAL SHORT-TERM USES OF MAN ' S ENVIRONMENT AND THE MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF LONG-TERM PRODUCTIVITY The Housing Element is a long-range guide for the provision of housing and the preservation of housing quality , as such , this element will have a beneficial long-term environmental impact. X . ANY IRREVERSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES WHICH WOULD BE INVOLVED IN THE PROPOSED ACTION , SHOULD IT BE IMPLEMENTED No irreversible environmental changes will result from the adoption of this element. XI . THE GROWTH- INDUCING IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED ACTION The adoption of this element will have no growth-inducing impact . XII . SUMMARY The Housing Element, like other elements of the Newport Beach General Plan , is intended to preserve and protect the quality of the City ' s environment; thus the net environmental impact resulting from the adoption , and presumed implementation , of this element will be beneficial . It should be stressed that any future projects proposed within the context of this element will be subject to detailed environmental review. -5- r • fl� PRELIMINARY DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE NEWPORT BEACH GENERAL PLAN OCTOBER 12 , 1973 REVISED DECEMBER 31 , 1973 r ti TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION 1 - PURPOSE AND SCOPE---------------------------Page 1 SECTION 2 - HOUSING GOALS-------------------------------Page 3 SECTION 3 - PROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES----------------------Page 6 Housing Supply Limitations--------------------------Page 6 Increased Land Values-------------------------------Page 7 Subsidized Housing----------------------------------Page 7 Deterioration of Older Units------------------------Page 7 Zoning and Building Code Violations-----------------Page 8 SECTION 4 -' ACTION PROGRAM------------------------------Page 9 SECTION 5 - INFORMATION REVIEW AND UPDATING-------------Page 17 Information System----------------------------------Page 17 Review and Updating---------------------------------Page 17 SECTION 6 - EXISTING HOUSING CONDITIONS AND POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS-----------------------------Page 19 Population Characteristics--------------------------Page 19 Population Growth---------------------------------Page 19 Racial Mix----------------------------------------Page 21 Age-----------------------------------------------Page 23 Income--------------------------------------------Page 25 Household Size------------------------------------Page 29 Housing Characteristics-----------------------------Page 32 Number of Dwelling Units--------------------------Page 32 Housing Mix---------------------------------------Page 34 Owner/Renter Data and Tenure----------------------Page 36 Vacancies-----------------------------------------Page 39 Housing Values , Costs and Rental Rates------------Page 42 Housing Adequacy----------------------------------Page 47 SECTION 1 - PURPOSE AND SCOPE The Housing Element of the Newport Beach General Plan addresses the question of the quality and supply of all categories of housing for the current and future residents of the city .

Provide an on-going housing information system. It is intended that, this element satisfy the State requirement that all local general plans contain a Housing Element . Section 65302 of the Government Code reads , in part : " . . . The (General ) Plan shall include the following elements : (C ) A Housing Element consisting of standards and plans for the improvement of housing and for provision of adequate sites for housing. This element of the plan shalliendeavor to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. " The State Department of Housing and Community Development has developed guidelines for the contents of a Housing Element. This Housing Element includes all of the sections required by the State , guidelines . The "Housing Market Analysis and Projections" report, prepared by Development Research Associates , Inc . under contract with the City of Newport , provided background information for the develop- ment of this housing element. 1 . c � The Housing Element is but one of several elements within the Newport Beach General Plan . There is a very close relationship between the Residential Growth Element and this Housing Element. The Residential Growth Element set the overall framework within which this Housing Element was developed. The projections of population growth and future housing supply are based directly on the Residential Growth Element. 2. L } SECTION 2 - HOUSING GOALS The "General Plan Policies " report , adopted by the City Council on March 13 , 1972 , includes a section specifially devoted to housing goals . These housing goals , along with the rest of the "General Plan Policies " report , were based on the "Newport Tomorrow" report which was developed by a citizens ' committee consisting of 84 citizens who devoted 50 ,000 man hours of work over a 10-month period. The housing goals were adopted after legally-noticed public hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council . The "Housing" section of the "General Plan Policies " report includes one general objective and seven policies which support this objective , as follows : GENERAL OBJECTIVE It is the objective of the City of Newport Beach to preserve and enhance the community ' s quality living environment; to maintain and improve the visual character and physical quality of all existing neighborhoods , and to encourage the development of a variety of new housing to adequately serve the needs of all present and future residents of the community. i 3. t SUPPORTING POLICIES a) The City shall retain the present predominance of single- family residences throughout the community while continu- ing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs . b) A variety of housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments and townhouses , as well as attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible locations so as to offer a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes . c) All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevail - ing community standards of environmental quality. d) The City shall encourage and assist in the conservation , maintenance , and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain optimum local standards of housing quality and design . e) Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing code enforce- ment so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community. 4. 4 f) The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age , race , religion , creed , color, or national origin . g) The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies , both public and private, to identify and assist in solving the housing problems of the broader regional community. " 5. ( Y SECTION 3 - PROBLEMS AND OBSTACLES Housing Supply Limitations The desirability of Newport Beach as a place to live will continue to result in a demand for housing which will exceed the supply. Development Research Associates , the City ' s Economic Consultant, stated : " DRA believes that based on market forces , there will be an excess of demand over supplyifor residential units within Newport Beach during the projected period of the General Plan and planning measures will have to be developed to ease the impact of this rapid and intensive develop- ment (on support systems such as streets and highways , parks etc. ) .within the confines of Newport Beach . " It is the conscious intent of the City of Newport Beach , as stated in the Residential Growth Element, to limit the number of dwelling units which can be constructed , thereby limiting the potential population . Even though this limitation will result in a shortage of housing vis-a-vis demand , the maintenance of the quality of the Newport Beach living environment requires such a limitation , and it is the policy of the City of Newport Beach that environmental quality considerations take precedence over the problem of satisfying the continually-growing housing demand. As indicated in the Land Use Element , there are approximately 4,174 acres of land currently devoted to residential use. Based on the " Residential Growth Element" , approximately 1 ,000 additional residen- tial acres will be developed , resulting in a total of approximately 5 ,213 acres of residentially-developed land when the city is totally "built-out" (in the sense that all vacant residential land is developed) . It is anticipated that this "built-out" state will be reached by 1990. 6. Increased Land Values The excess of demand over supply will increase land values . This housing demand and increase in land values will also result in the conversion of most , if not all , of the current low and moderate cost housing (mobilehome parks and older small single-family and duplex units ) to higher cost housing units . This will result in those low and moderate income families cur i rently living in Newport Beach being economically forced to relocate . Subsidized Housing The provision of low and moderate cost housing in Newport Beach , if at all feasible , will depend upon governmental subsidies . The City of Newport Beach obviously cannot afford a local subsidy program ; such programs would depend upon the availability of funds from the Federal Government. A major obstacle to the provision of subsidized low and moderate cost housing in Newport Beach is high land values and rental rates . Deterioration of Older Units Another problem occurs in the R2 and R3 districts in the older sections of the City. Many of the older housing units are being allowed to deteriorate , perhaps in anticipation of near-future redevelopment to the higher densities permitted under the zoning . This problem may grow as more of these older units fall into the "aging" category . 7. [ J Zoning and Building Code Violations Zoning and building code violations lead to overcrowing , substandard units , and neighborhood deterioration . Illegally constructed and rented units occur in many of the older sections of the city. Many units are overcrowded , particularly in the summer months , as a result of violations of the city ' s occupancy regulation . Parking problems result from garages being used for storage or illegal living units , thus being inaccessible to vehicles which must then park on the streets or in alleys . Substandard conditions have been noted in many of the mobilehome parks in Newport Beach . These conditions have resulted from violations of the building codes , including illegal construction , wiring , and plumbing. 8. SECTION 4 - ACTION PROGRAM The following actions are intended to assure accomplishment of the "General Housing Objective" and the implementation of all of the "Supporting Policies for Housing" contained in the adopted General Plan Policies Report: 1 . Policy a) " The City shall retain the present predominance of single-family residences throughout the community while continuing to provide for a variety of housing types and a diversity of housing needs ." b) " A variety of housing types and designs shall include multiple-family apartments and townhouses , as well as attached and detached single-family homes in convenient and compatible locations so as to offer a broad housing choice to a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes ." Action The undeveloped land designated for residential use on the Residential Growth Plan will be zoned for planned community development at the densities permitted within the Residential Growth Element. This zoning will permit some variety 'of housing types including multi - family rental units by allowing "density- averaging" but will assure that most of the 9. e , units will be single-family (either attached or detached) . Other areas , as indicated on the Residential Growth Plan will be zoned for "two- family" and "multi -family" devel-opment. This will make provision for the following housing types within the city : A. Small -lot beach-front single family homes , duplexes , and small apartment developments ; B. Large-lot single-familly homes ; C. Attached " Row-Houses " and cluster development ; and D. Larger apartment complexes . This broad choice of housing types will allow for a variety of family sizes , types , and incomes , within the range of economic feasibility which is limited by the high land values . The City of Newport Beach will not oppose the provision of housing for lower income families within any residential development if the developer finds that this is feasible. Involvement The zoning of all sites designated for residential use will be accomplished through development of the necessary zoning ordinance amendments and zone changes by the Community Development Department and the adoption of these ordinance amendments and zone changes by the City Council and Planning Commission . Time frame All zone changes will be ac complished lished b P Y Julv , 1974. 10 . 1 2 . Policy All new housing shall be developed to include suitable and adequate landscaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. Action The City of Newport Beach will closely examine the residential development standards contained in the zoning and subdivision ordinances and the building code to assure the provision of suitable and adequate land- scaping , open space , parks and recreation features , and other design amenities to meet the prevailing community standards of environmental quality. Involvement The Community Development Department and a citizens ' "Development Standards Committee" (consisting of 7 members with alternates appointed by the City Council ) will propose amendments to the residential development standards of the zoning code. These amendments will be considered by the City Council and Planning Commission for adoption . Time Frame Although revisions to development standards is an on-going process , it is anticipated that initial revisions will be adopted by March , 1973. 11 . 3. Policy The City shall encourage and assist in the conser- vation , maintenance, and improvement of all existing residential neighborhoods so as to maintain optimum local standards of housing quality and design . Action The City will contact each neighborhood association to set up public meetings at which suggestions for neighborhood improvement will be solicited, which may include public improvements (streets , sidewalks , street trees , etc. ) , code enforcement, and new ordinances for protection of neighborhood quality. In addition , the City will increase the level of zoning and building code enforcement to reduce illegal units , occupancies , construction , wiring and plumbing in both permanently constructed residences and mobile- home 'parks . Involvement The Community Development Department will , with City Council approval , set up the public meetings with the cooperation of each neighborhood association. All citizens will be encouraged to become involved . Suggestions will be transmitted to the City Council for implementation . The increased level of zoning and building code enforcement is the responsibility of the Community Development Department. Time Phase 'It is anticipated that the Neighborhood Association 12 . c r Program will be initiated by July , 1974. If successful , it can continue on an annual or biennial basis . The increased level of zoning and building code enforcement will be initiated immediately. 13 . 4. Polic Existing housing which fails to meet prevailing standards of health and safety shall be rehabilitated through a systematic program of building and housing code enforcement so as to maintain the residential character and quality of the community . Action A housing quality inspection and 'rehabilitation program will be initiated. Involvement The inspection and rehabilitation program will be conducted by the Community Development Department. Rehabilitation requirements will be set by the City Council . Time Phase It is anticipated that the inspection and rehabilitation program will be initiated by July 1 , 1974 , and will become a continuous , on-going program. 14. 5. Policy The City shall support "open housing" for all persons to purchase or rent adequate housing facilities of their choice , regardless of their age , race , religion , creed , color , or national origin . Action The City of Newport Beach will develop , adopt , and enforce an "open housing" ordinance which will prohibit discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. Involvement The Open Housing Ordinance will be developed by the City Attorney and considered by the City Council . Time Phase It is anticipated that the open housing ordinance will be adopted prior to December , 1974. 15 . L ) 6. Policy The City shall cooperate with the various local and regional agencies , both public and private , to identify and assist in solving the housing problems of the broader regional community . Action In view of the regional nature of the problem of providing adequate low and moderate-cost housing , the City of Newport Beach will participate in the Orange County Housing Authority , giving the Authority consent to transact business within the City , with the understanding that no project may be initiated without the consent of the City Council and that any housing provided by the Authority must meet all local zoning and building regulations . Involvement This action will be taken by the City Council . Time Phase Prior to July 1 , 1974. 16. SECTION 5 - INFORMATION REVIEW AND UPDATING Information System The Newport Beach Community Development Department will continue to assist decision makers both private and public by providing in- formation about housing and population . The lack of up-to-date accurate information is an obstacle which can be overcome at the local level . The Community Development Department in the course of its day-to-day operations , has access to much of the data necessary to make good decisions about housing , and it is also in the position to obtain and make available other information .on a continuing basis . Providing useful data at the proper time to individuals who need the information to make housing decisions will continue to be a function of the Community Development Department. Improvement of the scope of data provided is an on -going function of the Department. Computerization of the data stock is currently being undertaken . This is being done in order to maintain a more up-to- date data source and provide a highly organized system for storage of a large data stock. This program is being implemented by the City and should be completed in two years . Review and Updating The Housing Element along with the other General Plan elements will be reviewed by the Planning Commission on an annual basis . Any pro- posed amendments to the Housing Element will be discussed at public hearings by both the Planning Commission and City Council . The 17 . public hearing process will provide an opportunity for continued citizen participation in the Housing Element . Annual updatings and reprintings of tte Housing Element will be submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for their review . 18.

Of these families 611 , or 4'. 6 percent earned yearly incomes below the 1970 poverty level . By comparison , 28 , 546 families or 7 . 9 percent of the families in Orange County earned yearly incomes below 4 ,000 dollars . 18 , 608 or 5. 2 percent of Orange County families earned yearly incomes below the 1970 poverty level . There were 286 families , or 2. 2 percent of the families in Newport Beach receiving public assistance or public welfare income. Nearly 17 percent, or ,2 ,225 families residing in Newport Beach received some form of Social Security income during 1970. Table No. 4 gives a detailed breakdown of family incomes by census tracts for 1969. Family income projections made by Development Research Associates (Table 5) suggest that by 1990 Orange County median family income will reach $36 ,440 ( in current dollars ) , while the median family income for Newport Beach will exceed $60,000 . The 1970-80 rate is slightly higher than the historic 1960 to 1970 growth rate under the assumption that the desirability of the area will attract increasing numbers of high-income families . This same factor will also increase the rate at which high- paying jobs are created since local business will find it relatively easy to recruit top executive talent into the area . Real purchasing power , expressed as deflated 1990 dollars , is expected to be 25 . $35 ,000 to $45, 000 when inflating distortions are removed from the Newport Beach income projection . The projections assume that Newport Beach and Laguna Beach will continue to attract the highest income families while Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach will attract middle and upper middle income families but at a slower rate than in the past. 26.

HOUSEHOLD SIZE In 1970 there was a total of 19 ,280 households in Newport Beach and the median size household at that time was 2. 3 persons . Census data reported in 1960 shows a total of 9 , 972 households with the median size being 2. 65 persons . Sixty percent of all households contained two persons or fewer in 1970 , and 77 percent have three or fewer. Only 10. 6 percent of all households contain more than four ipersons , while only 12. 7 percent contained the "classic" family size of the past decade, four persons . Table No . 7 shows a detailed breakdown by census tract. In 1970 , family households comprised 68 percent of all households , with an average size of 3. 1 persons per household . Non-family households averaged only 1 . 4 persons . Predictably, households owning units were larger than those renting -- 2. 7 persons versus 1 . 9 for renting . The average size for all households of 2 . 6 exceeded the median of 2. 3 persons--indicating the presence of some significantly larger (probably family) households which biased the average size upward.

OWNER/RENTER DATA AND TENURE 1970 census , owner/renter data reveals that 10 ,810 units or 56. 1,% of the occupied housing units were owner occupied. In 1960 however , 64. 0% of the occupied housing units were owner occupied. 1970 renter occupied units numbered 8,470 or 43. 9% of the occupied units where as in 1960 renter occupied units accounted for only 36% of the occupied units . Seasonal rentals will have an influence on tenure. However, this data was tabulated in April of both years and is more representative of a stable , non-seasonal population .

Of these units 2 ,932 were vacant year round units and 266 were vacant seasonal units . However, only 1 , 399 of the year round units were offered on the market for oc- cupancy. Those units vacant and for sale numbered 289 , represent- ing a 2. 6 percent vacancy rate for owner type units . Units vacant and for rent were more plentiful numbering 1 , 110 units , resulting in a 11. 6 percent vacancy rate for rental type units . The combin- ed vacancy rate for both types of units indicated that Newport Beach has an effective housing vacancy rate of 6. 8 percent. The 1 , 533 year round units riot offered for sale or rent were being held off the market for personal reasons of the owners . If this group of vacant units was added to those vacant and available for occupancy the vacancy rate would be 13. 2 percent of all the year round housing units . If the 266 vacant seasonal units are added to the total vacant year roun.d units Newport Beach shows a 14. 2 percent vacancy rate. 39. 4 [ TABLE 12 EFFECTIVE VACANCY AND EFFECTIVE VACANCY RATE 1970 Census For Sale For Rent Total Tract # % # % # % 626. 01 0 - 0 - 0 - 626. 03 152 11 . 5 11 7. 5 163 11 . 1 627. 43 2. 3 98 5. 8 141 4. 0 628• 5 0. 6 207 14. 5 212 9 . 3 629. 13 2. 1 9 5. 2 22 2. 8 630. 01 16 1 . 0 440 29 . 4 456 14. 8 630. 02 42 2. 7 116 7. 9 158 5. 2 630. 03 1 0. 2 20 20 . 2 21 3. 1 631. 01 0 - 0 - 0 _ 631. 03 0 - 0 - 0 - 633 . 1 1. 3 3 6. 0 4 3. 2 634. 6 0. 5 83 10. 7 89 4. 4 635. 9 1. 1 111 6. 1 120 4. 5 636. 01 0 - 0 - 0 - 636. 02 0 - 0 - 0 - 636. 03 1 0. 2 12 2. 8 13 1 . 5 CITY 289 2 . 6 1 , 110 11,. 6 1399 6. 8 Source : 1970 Census 40.

In Table 18, the housing unfits " lacking plumbing" data refers to those units which lack either piped hot and/or cold water, lack a toilet or bathtub , or have a toilet or bathing facility used by occupants of another unit. Persons-per-room factors provide information on crowding. 1 . 01 - 1 . 50 persons p per room is considered slight crowding by the Bureau of the Census and 1 . 51 or more persons per room is considered overcrowding. In contrast to the small number of persons per household in Newport Beach is the relatively large size of individual dwelling units . Almost 60% of the all year-round units were between 4 and 6 rooms or larger. A detailed breakdown of housing unit sizes by census tract is presented in Table 19 . Table 21 provides age breakdowns for Newport Beach housing by census tract as reported by the 1970 census . Over 43% of the all year-round units are less than 10 years old . Slightly over 28 percent of the year-round units are between 10 and 20 years old. Units 20 years and older represent 28. 5 percent of Newport Beach ' s year-round housing stock. Despite the age of many of the structures in Newport Beach , their condition is quite good. The high level of maintenance if attributed to high market values and rental capabilities . 47.
