SUBJECT: DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT
Attached is a draft of the Housing Element, updated in accordance with
new State Housing and Community Development Department guidelines. The
City Council has held one study session on the document and now refers
it to the Commission for review and approval.
Staff will be present October 9th to discuss the element and answer
questions. A public hearing has been set for October 16 , 1979 .
The following is a brief summary of the document:
During the past several months, the advance planning staff has under-
taken a State-mandated revision of the Housing Element of the City ' s
General Plan. Originally adopted in August, 1976 , the Housing Element
has been revised to conform with a new set of guidelines recently
adopted by the State Department of Housing and Community Development.
The new guidelines were issued to more accurately reflect State
housing policy and to more effectively implement the statutory language
contained in the California Government Code. Section 65302 (c) of
the Government Code requires the preparation of a Housing Element
"consisting of standards and plans for the improvement of housing
and for provision of adequate sites for housing. In addition, this
element of the gene-ray--plan---shall make adequate provision for the
housing needs of all economic segments of thy- community.-"
The guidelines require housing elements to include two basic
components:
1) An evaluation of the housing problem and an analysis of
housing needs , indicating the capacity of the existing housing
supply to provide all economic segments of the community with
decent housing.
2) A housing program, consisting of two parts :
a) A comprehensive problem solving strategy establishing
local housing goals, policies, and priorities aimed at
alleviating unmet need and remedying the housing prob-
lem, and
Housing Element
,October 9 , 1979
Page 2
b) A course of action which includes a specific description of
the actions the locality is undertaking and intends to
undertake to effectuate these goals, policies, and priorities .
To provide a profile of housing characteristics and an accurate
assessment of the City ' s housing needs, staff utilized data from the
1979 Department of Finance Special Census of Huntington Beach as
well as studies and models developed by the Southern California
Association of Governments . Market and governmental constraints to
the production of lower cost housing were identified and the
adequacy of present housing programs in meeting the City' s needs
was analyzed. From this, a set of housing goals and policies has been
developed to alleviate existing and future housing need and to pro-
vide direction for decision makers. Finally, new programs and
actions to implement these goals and policies are proposed.
lliti community profile of Huntington Beach indicates a total of 62 ,251
housing units, an increase of 27 percent since the 1973 special census.
Fifty-three percent of these units are single family dwellings, 30
percent are condominiums and small multiple family units, 12 percent
are large apartment units, and 5 percent are mobile homes. Current hous-
ing growth is characterized by smaller single family tracts and multi-
family buildings.
The majority of the City' s housing stock is fairly new and in good struc-
tural condition. Most of the housing needing rehabilitation is concentrated
in areas such as the Downtown and Oldtown sections .
Approximately 57 percent of the City' s dwelling units are owner-occupied
and 43 percent renter-occupied, as contrasted to the situation in 1970 ,
when the ratio was 71 percent owner- and 29 percent renter-occupied.
Like many other areas in Orange County, the cost of housing is quite high
in Huntington Beach. It is� estimated that new single family homes are now
selling for about $150, 000 and resales average $92 , 735.
The lack of housing that is affordable to households with low and
moderate incomes is a major component of housing need in Huntington
Beach and Orange County. Approximately 23 . 1 percent of all house-
holds residing in Huntington Beach are considered low income
(households that earn less than 80 percent of the 1978 County median
income of $19 , 500 for a family of four) , and approximately 22 . 5
percent are considered moderate income (households that earn between
80 and 120 percent of the County median) , Census responses indicate
that approximately 77 percent of the City' s low income households
pay over 25 percent of their income for housing, affecting twice as
many renters as owners. The affordability problem also affects
moderate income households , but to a much lesser degree. Census
responses indicate that nearly 16 percent of the City' s moderate
Housing Element
October 9, 1979
Page 3
income households experience problems with obtaining affordable
housing (for moderate income households , up to 30 percent of the
household income may be spent on housing before affordability be-
comes a problem) . In the moderate income category, twice as many
owners as renters face affordability problems .
Other housing problems relate to overcrowding, substandard units ,
and special needs of the elderly, handicapped, minorities, families ,
and mobile home residents. Census responses reveal that between
1200 and 1400 households experience some degree of overcrowding,
76 percent of which are occupied by large families (five or more
persons) .
SCAG estimates that approximately 1, 370 substandard housing units
currently exist in Huntington Beach. Of these, 1,023 are con-
sidered suitable for rehabilitation and 347 need replacement. To-
gether, these substandard units represent only 2. 2 percent of the
City's total housing stock.
An estimated 11, 775 elderly persons (62 years of age or older)
reside in the city. About half of these are lower income households,
56 percent of which are in need of housing assistance (about 1,880
households) .
Approximately 3,760 households have one or more persons with some
type of handicap. Some of these persons need special housing accom-
modations.
Only 1,023 of the 6 ,913 minority households identified by the census
responded to income questions. Of these, 75 percent indicated
they were paying over 25 percent of their income for housing.
There are 3,265 mobile homes with an average occupancy of 1.69 per-
sons, indicating that many may be elderly retired persons. These
units appear to represent a significant portion of the existing
affordable low and moderate income units in the city.
The goals, policies, and programs set forth in the draft Housing
Element are organized around the five issue areas identified by
HCD as important priorities in addressing local housing problems :
1) Accessibility - Housing opportunities in the city should be
available to all households regardless of race, color, religion,
sex, family size, marital status, national origin, ancestry,
age, or physical disability. Special attention should be given
to the needs of the elderly, handicapped, families, and mobile
home residents, whose housing choice is often restricted.
2) Adequate Provision - A range of housing opportunities should be
provided for all economic segments of the community. A balance
between rental and owner-occupied units should be maintained
related to demand, and housing that is affordable to low and
moderate income households should be protected and, where
feasible, provided.
' Housing Element
October 9, 1979
Page 4
3) Standards and Plans for Adequate Sites - The City's General
Plan should esignate sufficient acreage for a range of residen-
tial development to accommodate existing and future demand for
housing. Criteria for evaluating individual sites ' potential
for low and moderate income housing should be developed.
4) Preserving Housing and Neighborhoods - Efforts should be made
to maintain the City' s housing stock, prevent deterioration, and
eliminate blighted housing conditions . Adequate levels of muni-
cipal services and community facilities should also be
provided, maintained, and, where necessary, improved to assure
a satisfying living environment for residents of the City.
5) Preserving Affordability - Housing intended for lower and mod-
erate income occupancy should remain affordable to this income
group over time; especially housing produced through incentive
programs.
The Element analyzes the impact of current housing programs and
proposes new actions to meet existing and projected housing needs.
The State HCD suggests local jurisdictions should realistically
try to meet 3 percent of their housing need per year through the
year 1985. Current programs will provide 280 units by the end of
1980 and an additional 147 units by 1982. Discounting these units,
an additional 954 low income units should be provided by 1985 - or
191 units per year.
Many of the proposed actions will be developed through the City' s
HCD program. If these programs are carried out as planned, an
additional 569 units of assisted housing could be provided by 1985,
leavinq 385 units still to be developed by other means.
The Element proposes feasibility studies of mechanisms commonly
used to provide additional lower cost housing such as inclusionary
zoning, density bonuses, and waiver of fees. The intent is to
identify the mechanism or mechanisms which will most feasibly and
economically produce the additional units needed.
The appendices to the Element include definitions, HCD guidelines,
the City's Housing Assistance Plan tables and analyses of land
banking, and inclusionary programs in other areas .

Dear Mr. Belsito:
RE: Review of City of Huntington Beach Draft Housing Element
The Department of Housing and Community Development has reviewed the draft
housing element dated September, 1979 for the City of Huntington Beach.
Under Section 50459 of the State Health and Safety Code, our Department is
authorized to review local housing elements "for conformity with the re-
quirements of Section 65302(c) of the Government Code and guidelines adopted
pursuant thereto. "
As set forth in the Housing Element Guidelines , the two most important
components of a housing element are :
1 . the identification and documentation of housing needs ; and
2. the development of a housing program to address these
identified needs.
c
In order to conform to Section 65302(c) of the Government Code, the housing
element is to contain "standards and plans for the improvement of housing
and for the provision of adequate sites for housing" and is to make "adequate
provision for housing needs of all econon-iic segments of the community. "
The purpose of our review is to advise the City of any additional information
which might need to be developed, and any additional steps which might be
needed to produce a housing element in conformity with the 1977 Guidelines .
We offer the following comments :
I. HOUSING NEEDS IDENTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION
The City has done a commendable job in providing background data and a needs
identification section which is well written and documented. In our judgement,
all essential information for determining housing need has been excellently
presented. and analyzed. The data and analysis indicate that Huntington Beach' s
primary housing need is to provide for low income housing opportunities for
existing residents paying excessive amounts of their incomes for housing, and
to address its regional fair share responsibilities , which include the needs

of a portion of those households employed in Huntington Beach but who cannot
afford to live there. In addition, the draft housing element indicates a
need for rehabilitation and conservation of its present housing stock. Large
family, elderly, handicapped, and minority households , and mobile home resi-
dents are identified as having special needs which should be addressed by the
City' s housing programs. Primary constraints to the provision of affordable
housing in Huntington Beach include high land, construction and financing costs ,
as well as a dwindling supply of developable land.
II. THE HOUSING PROGRAM
The draft housing element' s goals, objectives , policies and programs adequately
relate to, and suitably address identified needs and constraints. The draft
element' s action programs indicate a broad array of efforts targeted at housing
affordability, preservation and accessibility in the community. The housing
program description, which contains specific objectives , actions, funding
sources, responsible agencies and a timeframe for accomplishment, provides
evidence of the City' s strong commitment to obtain more affordable housing for
all of its residents. Particularly noteworthy is the City' s recognition that
the magnitude of its affordability need will necessitate not only aggressive
use of available state and federal programs , but also an active partnership
with the private sector -- which, based on the results of the City' s inclusion-
nary zoning study, could include a system of density bonuses given in return
for the provision of some affordable units in new developments.
In conclusion, the City of Huntington Beach is to be commended for producing
a housing element which adequately identifies housing needs and constraints,
and contains a solid program component to address them. If the City adopts
-the draft housing element in its present form, with the intent to implement
its programs within the timeframes that are shown, the State Department of
Housing and Community Development would be pleased to make a finding that the
Huntington Beach Housing Element complies with the 1977 Housing Element
Guidelines and Government Code Section 65302(c) .
Please accept our congratulations on the overall quality of your draft housing
element and our encouragement for the success of your program. We would also
like to take this opportunity to compliment the City' s very competent and
cooperative Planning staff, who obviously put a great deal of effort into
producing this excellent document. It has been a pleasure for our staff to
work with them.
We will look forward to receiving a copy of your housing element for our
final review, once it has been adopted by the City Council . If you Have any
questions, or we can be of further assistance, please contact Bob Stone at
(213) 673-3703.
