City of Downey density development within the 2014-2021 Housing Element. Housing goals, policies and programs will aim to preserve the condition of the existing housing stock, develop new housing in specific targeted growth districts, provide affordable housing opportunities for all income groups, and to improve the quality of life in the City’s neighborhoods. 1.2 – Housing Element State Law California State Housing Element Law (California Government Code Article 10.6) establishes the requirements for Housing Elements of the General Plan. Specifically, California Government Code Section 65588 requires that local governments review and revise the Housing Element of their Comprehensive General Plans not less than once every five years. The California State Legislature has identified the attainment of a decent home and suitable living environment for every Californian as the State's major housing goal. Recognizing the important role of local planning programs in the pursuit of this goal, the Legislature has mandated that all cities and counties prepare a Housing Element as part of their comprehensive General Plans. Table 1-1 summarizes these State requirements and identifies the applicable sections in the 2014-2021 Housing Element where these requirements are addressed. Downey's Housing Element was last updated in 2009 and is currently being updated for the years 2014 to 2021 as part of the new update cycle for jurisdictions within the SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) region to allow for synchronization with the 2012-2035 Draft Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The Element sets forth an 8-year strategy to address the City’s identified housing needs, including specific implementing programs and activities. Various amendments have been made to Housing Element law since adoption of the City’s current Housing Element. These include: • AB 162: Requires the City, upon adoption of the Housing Element, to identify specific flood hazard zones in the Land Use Element and specific floodwater and groundwater recharge areas in the Conservation and Safety Elements. • SB 244: Requires the City, upon the adoption of a Housing Element, to update the Land Use Element to include data and analysis, goals, and implementation measures regarding unincorporated island, fringe, or legacy communities and their infrastructure needs. 12 2014- 2021 Housing Element
City of Downey • SB 812: In addition to the existing special needs groups, the City must include an analysis of the housing needs for developmentally disabled persons. • AB 1867: Under certain conditions, the City can now count multi-unit homeownership units that have been converted to affordable units toward their RHNA allocation. • SB375 Implications: For jurisdictions that do not submit their adopted 2014- 2021 housing element update within 120 days of the October 2013 deadline, their housing element updates revert to a four-year cycle. The contents of this updated Housing Element comply with these amendments and all other requirements of Housing Element law. 1.2.1 Regional Housing Needs Assessment Section 65583 of the Government Code sets forth the specific components to be contained in a community's housing element. Included in these requirements is an obligation on the part of local jurisdictions to provide their “fair share” of regional housing needs. Local governments and Councils of Governments (COGs) are required to determine existing and future housing need and the allocation of said need must be approved by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). Downey is a member of the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) and SCAG is responsible for preparing the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the six-county territory that it represents. HCD established the planning period for the current Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2021. For the 2014-2021 planning period the City was allocated a total of 814 units, including 210 for very low income, 123 for low income, 135 for moderate income, and 346 for above-moderate income households. Changes to Housing Element law, specifically, AB 1233 passed in January 2006, requires “communities that failed to comply with requirements to make available sufficient sites to meet their regional housing need in the previous planning period must, within the first year of the new planning period, zone or rezone enough sites to accommodate the RHNA not accommodated from the previous planning period.” The Housing Element for the 2008-2014 planning period was adopted in 2010 and certified by HCD, but the City was unable to complete the rezoning necessary to 2014- 2021 Housing Element 13
