following:
APPLICATION NUMBER: Code Amendment No. 93-2/Negative Declaration No. 91-32
APPLICANT: City of Huntington Beach, Department of Community Development
LOCATION: City-wide
ZONE: All Residential Zones
REQUEST: To amend the City's Zoning Code to include provisions for affordable housing
which require all projects of three (3) units or greater to address affordable housing. The
Ordinance also provides incentives for providing affordable housing.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: This request is covered by Negative Declaration No. 91-32 which
will also be considered by Council.
Legal notice as provided to the City Clerk's Office by staff had been published and posted. No
communications or written protests were received on the matter.
The City Clerk presented a staff report prepared by the Planning Director.
The Planning Director presented slides delineating the history and purpose of the affordable
housing ordinance.
Discussion was held between Councilmember Silva and the Planning Director regarding the
necessity of enacting this ordinance.
The Mayor declared the public hearing open.
Jan Shomaker stated her reasons for opposing the affordable housing ordinance. She stated she
believed affordable housing should be built on a voluntary basis. Responding to inquiry by
Councilmembers Sullivan, Ms. Shomaker agreed that at this time there were thousands of
affordable housing units available. She stated each time the interest rate dropped a point the
eligibility of prospective home owners increased.
Pat Paulk, President of the Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley Association of Realtors, stated she
was opposed to the affordable housing ordinance. She stated for the record: "We support a
voluntary market driven method to achieve affordable housing and we are unilaterally opposed to
mandatory inclusionary housing in this instance." She recommended a fifty page handbook to
Council and staff Foundation for our Future, a book for making housing more affordable which had
just been produced by a county -wide task force. She submitted a letter to Council on the matter.
Tom Daly, President of the Building Industry Association of Orange County, stated the proposed
ordinance placed an unfair burden on the home builders and the new home buyers by mandating
that 10% of all new housing be priced at below market level, thus requiring a subsidy on these
units. He urged Council to remove the mandatory 10% requirement in the proposed ordinance
and rely on voluntary incentives by keeping the incentive based mechanisms in the ordinance
which would encourage the building of affordable housing.
