City of Downey Goal 2: Encourage a variety of housing types to meet the existing and future needs of City residents. Downey strives to achieve a balanced community, with housing units available for all income segments of the population. The existing housing stock offers many affordable options throughout the City. The intent of this goal is to assist in the provision of adequate housing to meet the needs of the community, including the needs of both renter and owner households. Policy 2.1: Policy 2.2: Policy 2.3: Policy 2.4: Provide adequate sites and zoning to encourage and facilitate a range of housing to address the regional fair share allocation. Encourage infill development and recycling of land to provide adequate residential sites. Facilitate and encourage the development of affordable housing for seniors, large families, and other identified special housing needs. Assist private and nonprofit developers in providing affordable housing to low-income residents and special needs groups. Program 5 – Housing Opportunity Sites The Downey Land Use Element and Zoning Code provide for a variety of residential land uses to accommodate the City's 2014-2021 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The Zoning Code includes provisions for second units on R-1 and R-2 zoned lots in the City’s Second Unit Development Overlay (SUD) districts, development of additional units on R-1 and R-3 zoned sites that are currently underutilized, and future residential development within the Downtown Downey Specific Plan area. The adopted Downtown Downey Specific Plan, which includes five land use districts allows for mixed use development, which promotes new residential development at densities up to 75 du per acre. To encourage and facilitate the development of a variety of housing types, the City will provide information on housing opportunity sites identified in the Housing Element and any additional areas of the City to interested developers. Program Objective: Staff will continue to facilitate the redevelopment of underutilized sites through various outreach methods to the development community through an updated inventory available throughout the 2014-2021 24 2014- 2021 Housing Element
City of Downey planning cycle. Provide information to interested developers and on the City’s website about potential residential opportunity sites. Funding Source: General Fund Responsible Agency: Economic Development Time Frame: Ongoing 2014-2021 Program 6 - Second Unit Zoning The City has many large lots (7,500 square feet and above) that are underutilized and that can accommodate additional housing. To facilitate affordable rental units for families, the City allows second unit developments. There are 24 designated second unit development areas, 17 of which have potential to accommodate new development. In the R-1 zone, the second unit must be a detached structure; otherwise, it can be attached to the primary unit. In all cases, however, the secondary units cannot be sold separately from the primary unit and the owner must live in one of the units. Recently adopted amendments to the second unit zoning program (November 2008) included allowing second units administerally and permitting a reduction in the required lot size (from 10,000 sq. ft. to 7,500 sq. ft.) to qualify for a second unit, thus increasing opportunities to construct second units in the City. Second units, also known as “granny flats,” are a practical method for a family to maximize the available land on their own lot. By utilizing land and utilities, a family minimizes construction costs. The City is capitalizing on the Zoning Code by increasing the stock of affordable units while maintain the existing single-family neighborhoods. Development of second unit housing provides lower-income households an affordable housing opportunity typically within a single-family neighborhood setting. Therefore, the City will continue to allow for second units to be constructed within the Second Unit Overlay. To ensure greater participation on behalf of Downey residents in the program, the City is committing to a public outreach program to encourage second unit development, including advertising second unit development opportunities on the City’s website, in local newspapers, in local utility bills, and at various community centers, including the Public Library. The City is also committed to monitoring the effectiveness of this program by conducting annual monitoring to determine the level of program participation 2014- 2021 Housing Element 25
