TITLE: 2014 -2021 Housing Element Update (PA2012 -104)
ABSTRACT
An amendment of the Newport Beach General Plan updating the Housing Element for
the years 2014 through 2021. The Housing Element is one of the mandatory elements
of the General Plan, and State law requires it to be updated periodically. The Newport
Beach Housing Element identifies strategies for expanding housing opportunities and
services for all household types and income groups, identifies constraints to the
development of housing, and provides the primary policy guidance for local decision -
making related to housing. The Draft 2014 -2021 Housing Element (Draft) is an update
and revision of the adopted 2008 -2014 Housing Element and it contains updated
community data, policies, and programs.
The State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is required by
State law to review the Housing Element and determine whether or not it complies with
State Housing Element law. The City's final Draft has been reviewed by HCD and they
have issued a letter stating their intent to find it compliant with State Law once the final
Draft is adopted by City Council.
The 2014 -2021 Housing Element is accessible online at

a. Find that all significant environmental concerns for the proposed
project have been addressed in the previously adopted Negative
Declaration SCH No.2011091088; and
b. Adopt the 2014 -2021 Housing Element.
3) Direct staff to prepare a resolution suspending Chapter 19.54 of the Municipal Code
(Inclusionary Housing) for adoption at a future meeting.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS
Efforts to update to the Housing Element are near completion and the current adopted
budget includes sufficient funding to complete this amendment. Staff estimates that a
maximum of approximately 450 hours will have been spent on this effort plus the cost of
noticing and publishing materials for workshops and public hearings.
DISCUSSION
On May 14, 2013, the City Council approved submission of the Draft to HCD for review
with a change to remove the Inclusionary Housing Program (Housing Program 2.2.1).
The Council determined that it is appropriate to remove the Inclusionary Housing
Program at this time because the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)
assigned to the City had been significantly reduced to a total projected housing need of
five units. Also, since the adoption of the Inclusionary Housing Program, the City has
pursued other programs to help facilitate the development of the City's existing and
projected housing needs, such as the adoption of Residential Development Overlay
standards in the Newport Place Planned Community District of the Airport Area,
promotion of density bonuses and promotion of senior accessory dwelling unit
allowances. The City is also projected to have an in -lieu fund balance of $4.5 million by
fiscal year 2014, from previously approved projects subject to the inclusionary
ordinance. This fund will assist with the production, rehabilitation, or preservation of
affordable housing during the upcoming planning period.
Staff submitted the Draft for a streamlined review to HCD. Pursuant to a conference call
with HCD on June 24, 2013, HCD had minor comments that were subsequently
addressed by staff via email and reviewed by the City's Affordable Housing Task Force.
The changes were as follows:
1. Public Outreach Documentation — The interest list used for public outreach
during the update process, including public workshops and public meetings, has
been added to the Housing Element as Appendix H1. Appendices previously
titled H1, H2, and H3 were revised as H2, H3, and H4 accordingly.
2

2. Pre - Approved Incentives — Revised Housing Program 3.1.3 requiring the
preparation of a list of pre- approved incentives for building Affordable Housing.
3. Promotion of Senior Accessory Units — Added to the objective of Housing
Program 5.1.3 committing to the preparation of promotional materials by Spring
2014.
4. Developmental Disabilities — Created Housing Program 5.1.8 to implement an
outreach program with the Regional Center of Orange County to inform families
within the City of housing and services available for persons with developmental
disabilities.
With these changes, on July 12, 2013, HCD preliminarily approved the City's Draft
(Attachment No. CC 2- HCD Letter). On August 22, 2013, the Planning Commission
reviewed the final Draft and recommended City Council adoption of the final Draft
(Attachment No. CC 3- Minutes). Following City Council adoption of the Draft, the City
will be in full compliance with State Housing Element Law.
A complete outline of the Housing Element is included as Attachment No. CC 4. The
attachment also includes a discussion of the City's Regional Housing Needs
Assessment, Sites Analysis and Inventory, revisions to Housing Programs, and an
overview of public outreach and meetings.
Airport Land Use Commission
Projects requiring General Plan amendments that are located within the Airport
Environs Land Use Plan ( AELUP) Airport Planning Area must be referred to the Orange
County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) for a determination of consistency with
the AELUP prior to adoption by the City. The Airport Land Use Commission is
scheduled to review the Draft 2014 -2021 Housing Element Update at the next ALUC
meeting on September 19, 2013 (subsequent to the preparation of this staff report).
Staff anticipates ALUC will find the project consistent with AELUP since implementation
of the 2014 -2021 Housing Element would not result in specific development and the
land use opportunity areas previously found consistent as part of the 2006 General Plan
remain the same.
Suspension /Repeal of Chapter 19.54 of NBMC (Inclusionary Housing Ordinance)
As previously discussed, the Inclusionary Housing Program (formally HP2.2.1) has
been removed from the 2014 -2021 Housing Element. Chapter 19.54 of the Municipal
Code ( Inclusionary Housing) implements the former Inclusionary Housing Program and
must either be suspended or repealed.
3
Housing Element Update
September 24, 2013
Page 4
The primary reason in support of removing the Inclusionary Housing Program was
because the RHNA assigned to the City has been significantly reduced from 1,914 units
in the current planning period to only 5 units in the upcoming planning period. However,
a possibility exists that a future RHNA may identity a significant increase in the need for
affordable housing units. Also, substantial effort was involved with the original
development and adoption of Chapter 19.54. Therefore, staff is recommending
suspension of Chapter 19.54 at this time in case there is a future need to reinstate the
requirements.
The City Council also has the option of directing staff to propose a resolution repealing
Chapter 19.54.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
All significant environmental concerns for the proposed project have been addressed in a
previously adopted Negative Declaration (ND) SCH No. 2011091088 for the 2008 -2014
Housing Element Update, and that the City of Newport Beach intends to use said
document for the above noted project. The ND uses and incorporates by reference the
environmental analysis from the City of Newport Beach Environmental Impact Report
General Plan 2006 Update SCH No. 2006011119, certified on July 25, 2006. The ND
indicates that the Housing Element Update will not result in a significant effect on the
environment and further that there are no additional alternatives or mitigation measures
that should be considered in conjunction with said project. Copies of the previously
prepared environmental document are available for public review and inspection at the
Planning Division or at the City of Newport Beach website under Archived Environmental
Documents at www. newportbeachca .gov /cegadocuments.

Dear Ms. Brandt:
RE: Review of the City of Newport Beach's 5th Cycle (2013 -2021) Draft Housing
Element Update
Thank you for submitting the City of Newport Beach's draft housing element update
received for review on May 24, 2013, along with additional revisions received on
July 9th, 2013. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b), the Department is
reporting the results of its review.
The Department conducted a streamlined review of the draft housing element based on
the City meeting eligibility criteria detailed in the Department's Housing Element Update
Guidance. The review was facilitated by a telephone conversation on June 24, 2013
and various other communications with Mr. Jamie Murillo, Ms. Melinda Whelan, and Mr.
James Campbell, of your staff. In addition, the Department considered comments from
the Kennedy Commission pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(c).
The draft element addresses the statutory requirements of State housing element law.
For example, the element demonstrates adequate sites to accommodate the regional
housing need. As a result, the element will comply with Article 10.6 of the Government
Code once adopted and submitted to the Department, pursuant to Section 65585(g).
Senate Bill 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) added Section 65588(e)(4) regarding
timely adoption of the housing element. Localities on an eight -year planning period that
do not adopt the housing element within 120 calendar days from the statutory due date
(October 15, 2013 for SCAG localities) are required to revise the housing element every
four years until adopting at least two consecutive revisions by the statutory deadline.
For more information on adoption requirements, please visit the Department's website
at: http: / /www.hcd.ca.gov /hpd /hrc /plan /he /he review adoptionsteps110812.pdf.

Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing
element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element
process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that
represent lower- income and special needs households, by making information regularly
available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate.
The Department appreciates the hard work of Mr. Murillo and Ms. Whelan throughout
the review of the housing element and looks forward to receiving Newport Beach's
adopted housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical
assistance, please contact Melinda Coy, of our staff, at (916) 263 -7425.

Attachment No. CC 4
Housing Element Format
The Housing Element is divided into two major sections and includes all of the
necessary information and analysis as required by State law. The complete document,
including versions illustrating strike -outs and revisions is found online at
http:// www. newportbeachca .gov /housingelementupdate. The following is an outline of
the Housing Element Sections:
1. Community Housing Market Analyses
• Housing Stock Characteristics — Provides data on residential growth and
dwelling unit type, including statistics on residential densities, tenure,
vacancies, and type of housing within the City. This section also provides
information on assisted housing stock at risk of conversion to market rate
units (page 5 -8).
• Analysis and Projection of Population and Employment — Provides
statistics and projections on populations and employment as they relate to
housing projections (pages 5 -22 and 5 -32).
• Household Characteristics — Provides information on ethnicity, household
income, and the cost of housing including rentals (page 5 -25).
• Analysis of Special Population Groups — Provides information on the
special needs population groups within the City, including students,
elderly, disabled, farm workers, female head of household, and the
homeless (page 5 -35).
• Analysis of Housing Need — In accordance with State Housing Element
law, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has
prepared a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to identify the
regional housing needs for each jurisdiction within the SCAG region. The
RHNA is summarized below in this report and is found on page 5 -44 in the
Draft.
• Inventory of Land Suitable for Residential Development - An inventory and
description of land determined suitable for residential development that
can realistically be developed within the planning period (2014 -2021) and
sufficient to meet the City's total RHNA. A detailed, parcel- specific
analysis and inventory, including maps, of available and suitable sites is
included as Appendix H4.
• Analysis of Opportunities for Energy Conservation — Provides information
on how the City is maintaining current energy conserving design
innovations and state standards (page 5 -78).
• Nongovernmental Constraints to Housing Production — This discussion
describes nongovernmental constraints to housing production including
23
Housing Element Update
Attachment No. CC 4
community attitudes, financial, construction and land costs, and
environmental considerations (page 5 -79).
• Governmental Constraints to Housing Production — Outlines City and
other governmental constraints on housing, including land use controls
(zoning), building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees,
and local processing procedures (page 5 -81).
2. Housing Goals and Policies, Quantified Objectives, and Programs
• General Review of 2008 -2014 Housing Element and Housing Activities —
A review of the appropriateness and accomplishments of goals, policies,
and programs of the 2008 -2014 Housing Element in contributing to the
attainment of the previous local and state housing goals (page 5 -98).
• Year 2014 -2021 Housing Plan - Quantifies the City's goals for the number
of units that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved during the
2014 -2021 planning period (page 5 -125).
• Newport Beach Housing Element: Goals, Policies, and Programs -
Proposed goals and policies that address the City's anticipated housing
needs during the tenure of this Housing Element (2014 -2021) and are
implemented by a series of Housing Programs. These Programs prescribe
specific actions the City of Newport Beach will take during the tenure of
this Housing Element. The Housing Programs are discussed further in the
Housing Programs section of this report (page 5 -128).
City of Newport Beach Regional Housing Needs Assessment
State law requires that local jurisdictions accommodate a share of the projected housing
need to accommodate the growth of the region. This share is identified by the Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and is established by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG). State law mandates that jurisdictions provide
zoning of sufficient land at adequate densities to accommodate a variety of housing
opportunities to meet the RHNA. Meeting the RHNA provides a critical basis for
determining the adequacy of a Housing Element. Actual construction of the housing
units is not mandated by law; however, local jurisdictions must implement identified
programs and policies in support of housing production for all economic segments of the
community.
For the upcoming 2014 -2021 planning period, SCAG based the City's RHNA allocation
accounting for unique market conditions attributable to prolonged recessionary
conditions, high unemployment, and unprecedented foreclosures. The following table
illustrates the City's RHNA by income categories for the 2014 -2021 planning period:

Sites Analysis and Inventory
In accordance with Government Code Section 65583(a)(3) and 65583.2, the Housing
Element must provide an inventory and description of land determined suitable for
residential development that can realistically be developed within the planning period
and sufficient to meet the City's total RHNA identified in the table above. A detailed,
parcel- specific analysis and inventory, including maps, of available and suitable sites
(Sites Analysis and Inventory) was previously prepared for the current Housing Element
and current RHNA requirements. Although the inventory illustrates housing
opportunities that now significantly exceed the new RHNA allocation of five units, it
continues to remain relevant to illustrate the significant opportunities that continue to
exist in the City that were created as part of the General Plan Update in 2006. The
analysis and inventory is included in the Draft with a summary found on page 5 -46 and
a detailed inventory in Appendix H4. The Sites Analysis and Inventory is organized by
the key opportunity areas within City (i.e., Banning Ranch, Corona del Mar, West
Newport Mesa, Mariner's Mile, Balboa Peninsula, Dover Dr./Westcliff Dr., Newport
Center, and the Airport Area).
The Sites Analysis and Inventory also serves as a useful tool to promote housing
opportunity sites to potential residential housing developers pursuant to Housing
Program 3.2.3 and is maintained on the City's webpage.
Housing Programs
The goals, polices, and programs are the most important component of the Housing
Element. The goals provide the end result sought by the City; the polices provide
language to assist in decision making and describe general courses of action to be
taken to achieve the goal; the programs are specific activities that will be maintained or
undertaken and are necessary to implement a given policy to make the goal a future
reality.
Table H40 (page 5 -103) provides an overview of the accomplishments associated with
each program and whether the program remains appropriate to retain. The goals
adopted in the Housing Element have not been revised; however, in order to more
effectively achieve those long -range goals, the previously adopted housing programs
have been revised and only a few new housing programs have been incorporated.
25
Housing Element Update
Attachment No. CC 4
Programs that have been completed or deemed no longer necessary have been
eliminated.
Several programs remain appropriate and will continue as programs with objectives to
yield the following results: promotion of the density bonus incentive provisions of the
Zoning Code; maintenance of the residential development overlay in the Airport Area;
financial assistance to the homeless and special needs service providers; financial
assistance to a fair housing service provider; and development incentives for affordable
housing projects.
New or revised programs include the identification of the need for a potential housing
rehabilitation program while investigating the use of grants or loans to fund such a
potential program if a significant need is identified (Housing Program 1.1.2); promoting
the Residential Building Records Program to reduce and prevent residential violations
(Housing Program 1.1.4); developing a pre- approved list of incentives and qualifications
for such incentives to promote the development of affordable housing (Housing
Program 3.1.3); promoting and facilitating the development of senior accessory dwelling
units (Housing Program 5.1.3); promoting senior citizen independence through
supporting housing services related to in -home care, meal programs, counseling,
maintenance of the Oasis Senior Center and its programs (Housing Program 5.1.7), and
creating a program for persons with developmental disabilities (Housing Program 5.1.8)
A complete list of the all of the Housing Goals, Policies, and Programs are on pages 5-
128 through 5 -144 of the Draft.
Public Outreach and Meetings
Public Workshops
In preparation of the 2014 -2021 Draft Housing Element, staff held two public
workshops. The first workshop was held on November 14, 2012, to solicit input from
members of the community and other housing stakeholders regarding the City's needs,
constraints, and goals related to housing prior to preparing the initial draft revisions.
The second workshop was held on March 27, 2013, to formally present the Draft
Housing Element to the public. Staff shared changes in housing data and the
effectiveness of housing programs from the current Housing Element. Staff also
discussed the appropriateness of maintaining current programs with meeting
participants and explained proposed program revisions. Valuable input was received
from those who attended the workshops.
April 18, 2013 Planning Commission
The Draft was presented to the Planning Commission on April 18, 2013. A number of
typographical errors and clarifications were presented by members of the public and the
Planning Commission, including a request to change the term "elderly" to "senior'
throughout the document. These revisions are included in the final Draft.

Affordable Housing Task Force - April 25, 2013
An overview of the Draft Housing Element was presented to the Affordable Housing
Task Force on April 25, 2013, including proposed revisions to the housing programs
and issues raised at the public workshops and Planning Commission meeting. In
conclusion, they indicated their general agreement with the proposed update and
revisions to the Housing Element.
City Council - May 14, 2013
The Draft was presented to the City Council on May 14, 2013, with a recommendation
from the Planning Commission to submit the Draft to HCD. The Building Industry
Association of Orange County (BIA) submitted a letter and provided oral comments
requesting that the City remove the Inclusionary Housing Program. Due to the reduced
RHNA, and the availability of other programs and resources for the production of
affordable housing, the Council determined that it was appropriate to remove the
Inclusionary Housing Program at this time. The Council approved the motion to remove
the Inclusionary Housing Program and submit the Draft to HCD.
Affordable Housing Task Force - June 24, 2013
Staff provided a status on the update including the minor changes suggested by HCD
during their review.
Planning Commission — August 22, 2013
The final Draft was presented to the Planning Commission on August 22, 2013. With no
changes, the Commission adopted a resolution recommending City Council adoption of
the final Draft.
Availability of Documents
Throughout the Housing Element update process, the City has posted, and will continue
to post, Draft Housing Element documents and presentation materials on the website to
facilitate the review by residents and interested parties. Copies of the Draft Housing
Element were also made available for review at City Hall.
