[X ] Yes [ ] New Policy or Excep ion L K Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis,Funding Source,Alternative Actions,Attactiments. STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Transmitted for City Council consideration is the Affordable Housing Plan by Seacliff Partners for Tentative Tract Map Nos. 14007 and 14009. The plan is submitted in compliance with a condition of approval for the 141 lot estate residential subdivisions which requires review and approval by the City Council. At the meeting of July 11, 1994, the Council continued the item to allow staff time to formulate alternative language within the plan to ensure continued affordability. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to: / "Approve the Affordable Housing Plan for Tentative Tract Map Nos. 14007 and 14009 as submitted by Seacliff Partners." ANALYSIS: On July 25, 1994, staff met with Council Members Grace Winchell and Victor Leipzig and Seacliff Partners to discuss the Council's direction for continued affordability. No additional language to ensure continued affordability was generated at the meeting. The result is that the plan as submitted by Seacliff Partners in the attached Request for Council Action dated July 5, 1994 is unchanged. Environmental Status: Not Applicable - 1 The modified condition of approval reads as follows: Applicant shall submit an affordable housing plan which provides for 29 units to be affordable to families of moderate income. Said plan shall be approved by the City Council prior to issuance of the first building permit for the tracts. The plan may include: a. Build affordable units at an alternative location which is under control of the applicant. b. Rehabilitate existing units and ensure long term affordability. c. Preserve existing affordable units for the long term(30 years). d. Other options which may generate new opportunities for affordable housing. As the condition reads, the developer is required to provide 29 affordable housing units. This is based upon the requirement that 20 percent of the total units, 141 at the time of approval, are constructed. Since the project has been approved, the developer has been in negotiations with the Huntington Beach City School District to convey 8.863 acres of property within the boundary of Tentative Tract Map No. 14009 for an elementary school site. If the property is conveyed to the school district, the total number of units to be constructed shall be 109 and the required number of units available to moderate income families shall be 22. Staff believes that the intent of the condition is to provide 20 percent of the total number of units, finally constructed. The submitted plan calls for 22 units at this time based upon indications that the school district will accept the conveyance of the school site property. Seacliff Partners has however, included a provision in the plan that provides the affordable housing units (29) should the school district not accept the conveyance of the school site property. As submitted by Seacliff Partners, the plan will provide affordable housing through one of the following options: 1. Preservation of existing at risk rental housing. 2. Rehabilitation of existing affordable housing units. 3. Construction of new off-site affordable housing units. 4. Purchase of affordable credits for units to be constructed by others. The plan also states that the units shall be for moderate income families, provides assured affordability for 30 years, and the developer shall provide evidence to the city of compliance with the requirements of the plan. As submitted, staff believes that the Affordable Housing Plan complies with the spirit and intent of the condition of approval and with the goals and policies of the city's adopted Housing Element and General Plan. RCA 7/5/94 2 CD 94-40 Environmental Status: The Affordable Housing Plan is not considered a project pursuant Section 15378 of the California Environmental Quality Act and therefore is not subject to environmental review. The subdivisions were reviewed and approved under Mitigated Negative Declaration Nos. 90-44, 90-45, and 90-46. FUNDING SOURCE: No funding source is required for this action. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: The City Council may take one of the following actions: 1. Modify the submitted Affordable Housing Plan as deemed appropriate. or, 2. Deny the Affordable Housing Plan as submitted. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

ANALYSIS: On September 16, 1991, the City Council, on appeal by Seacliff Partners, approved Tentative Tract Map Nos. 14007 and 14009 with associated entitlements. The appeal submitted by Seacliff Partners was a request to delete the suggested condition of approval which required the developer to provide 20 percent of the total units to be affordable to families of low and moderate income. The condition also required the plan be executed prior to issuance of the first building permit and that the affordable units be under construction or available to the public prior to final inspection for the homes in the master plan of development. The total units at the time of City Council approval was 141 units. This total would require the developer to provide 29 units to be affordable. The City Council denied the appeal to delete the affordable housing requirement and modified the condition of approval.
