Analysis:
A. PROJECT PROPOSAL:
Applicant: City of Huntington Beach
Location: Citywide
The Housing Element Status Report represents a report on the progress of the Housing
Element of the City's General Plan. The Housing Element is a citywide plan for housing,
including the provision of affordable housing, in the City of Huntington Beach and was updated
in 2008 for the 2008-2014 planning period in accordance with State law.
Section 65400 of the California Government Code establishes a requirement for each
jurisdiction to prepare an annual report on the status of the housing element and the progress
in its implementation. Although charter cities are exempt from preparing an annual report, an
annual report is necessary to remain eligible for funding of programs that require submittal of
the report. The City has prepared the Housing Element Status Report utilizing forms adopted
by HCD in accordance with the California Code of Regulations.
B. BACKGROUND
The 2008-2014 Housing Element was adopted by the City Council on June 16, 2008, and
forwarded to HCD for final review. On July 29, 2008, HCD certified the City's Housing
Element.
The 2008-2014 Housing Element consists of five sections that include an identification and
analysis of existing and projected housing needs in the City, an inventory of resources and
constraints relevant to meeting the City's housing needs and a statement of goals, policies,
quantified objectives, financial resources and scheduled programs for the preservation,
improvement and development of housing.
C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATION
The Housing Element Status Report (Attachment No. 1) consists of a report on the following
items:
1. Annual Building Activity Report (2009) — Low- and Very Low-Income Units and Mixed-
Income Multi-Family Units (Table A);
2. Annual Building Activity Report (2009) — Summary for Units Rehabilitated, Preserved
and Acquired pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.1(c)(1) (Table A2);
3. Annual Building Activity Report (2009) — Summary for Moderate- and Above
Moderate-Income Units (Table A3);
4. Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress (Table B); and
5. Program Implementation Status (Table C).
The report also contains a section for general comments that includes the status of pending
housing project applications and an update of potential future projects in the City.

Annual Building Activity Report (Tables A—A3)
Tables A through A3 include building permit activity for the 2009 calendar year. Due to the
current economic climate and market conditions, the City only issued permits for 12 new units
in 2009. Of the 12 units, nine were single-family homes and three were second dwelling units.
The nine single-family homes would be categorized in the above-moderate income category
while the second dwelling units could be categorized in the moderate income category. No
new residential construction included very-low or low-income units. However, in 2009, the City
issued permits for four acquisition/rehabilitation projects that resulted in the provision of 66
very-low and low-income rental units (see Table A2).
Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress (Table B)
State Housing Element Law requires that each city and county develop local housing programs
to meet its "fair share" of existing and future housing needs for all income groups, as
determined by the jurisdiction's Council of Governments. In the Southern California region, the
agency responsible for assigning the regional housing needs to each jurisdiction is the
Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). For the 2008-2014 planning period,
Huntington Beach was determined to have a regional housing need (RHNA) of 2,092 units.
Table B of the Status Report provides a breakdown, by income category, of the City's progress
in meeting the RHNA allocation for the years 2006 through 2009 and is summarized in the
table below. It should be noted that years 2006 and 2007 are not included in the 2008-2014
planning period. However, the previous planning period ended in 2005 and these two years
are considered a "gap period," and therefore, the City can count 184 units for these years
toward the 2008-2014 RHNA.

Despite the economic downturn, from 2006 — 2009, a total of 285 units have been provided
toward meeting the City's regional housing goal of 2,092 units. Notably, of the 78 units
provided in 2009, 66 units (84%) are for very-low and low-income households provided through
acquisition/rehabilitation projects due to the City's partnerships with affordable housing
developers. In terms of new construction, the City experienced a substantial decrease in
building permits for new units in 2008 and 2009. The City issued permits for 23 units in 2008:
one four-unit multi-family apartment complex and 19 single-family residences, and for 12 units
in 2009: nine single-family residences and three second dwelling units.

Program Implementation Status (Table C)
The 2008-2014 Housing Element identifies 24 programs for meeting the City's housing needs.
Each program includes a goal and objective, responsible agency, funding source and program
schedule as required by State law. For each of the 24 programs, Table C identifies the
program by name in the Housing Element, the objective, program schedule and current status
of the program.
The City was able to achieve several of the program goals specified in the Housing Element
including the following:
• Completion, in 2009, of the acquisition and rehabilitation of the 48-unit Delaware
apartment project that resulted in 47 very-low and low income units;
• Provision of second dwelling unit handouts at the zoning counter and on the
website starting in late 2008, which led to the approval of five second dwelling
units in 2009;
• Adoption of guidelines for workforce housing program in 2009, which resulted in
down payment assistance to seven households so far, including two in 2009 and
five in 2010;
• Adoption of zoning ordinance revisions in late 2009 to facilitate the provision of
emergency shelters for the homeless and clarify transitional housing provisions;
• Provision of assistance to 67 households through the Project Self-Sufficiency
program, which assists in the transition of low-income single parents in becoming
self-sufficient, despite budgetary cuts to the program; and
• Adoption of the Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) in 2010,
which provides for a total of 4,500 new units and requires off-site inclusionary
units to be provided within the specific plan area and provides incentives (by way
of a fee reduction ordinance yet to be adopted by the City) for exceeding the
minimum number of inclusionary units.
Additional Information
In addition to the information provided in Tables A through C, the City is currently processing
several projects as well as implementing programs that would lead to the provision of housing
in the City. In 2009, the City processed two first-time homebuyer loans for moderate income
households. The City received $566,611 in economic stimulus funds and is working with four
local non-profit corporations to provide housing for the homeless. The City also received
$410,000 in Neighborhood Stabilization Program funds that will be used for new construction
of six affordable units in the Oakview area. The City is currently processing the entitlements
for this project. In addition, the City is currently processing entitlements for several residential
projects of various product types that could result in the provision of 505 new units. Finally,
environmental review is underway for three projects within the BECSP that could result in the
provision of 1,400 units within the specific plan area during the planning period.
Environmental Status:
The Housing Element Status Report is exempt under Section 15061(b)(3) of the California
Environmental Quality Act guidelines, which exempts activities where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity may have a significant effect on the
environment.

General Comments:
co
Due to the current economic downturn,the City experienced very little permit activity for new construction in 2009. The City did not issue
any permits for new construction of very-low and low-income units. The City also did not issue any permits for multi-family housing
projects that would have resulted in the provision of inclusionary units or a mixed-income project. The City has several projects in
progress including an application for construction of a new 6-unit affordable housing project anticipated to be entitled by July 2010 as well
as several other residential projects of various product types that would result in the provision of 505 new units. Environmental review is
underway for 3 projects in the recently adopted Beach and Edinger Corridors Specific Plan (BECSP) area for a total potential for 1,400
new units including a minimum of 140 affordable units.
