City of Downey Program 13 - Planned Unit Developments The Planned Unit Development (PUD) process provides developers with the opportunity to plan creative projects that are not constrained by the literal application of zoning codes. The PUD application process allows for flexibility in site development standards and encourages innovative and imaginative land use concepts. The standards of the base zone apply in Planned Unit Developments; however, density, setbacks, and open space requirements are calculated on a project wide basis. Program Objective: Continue to encourage Planned Unit Developments as a means to provide affordable housing through creative land use techniques. Inform developers of the density incentives under the program Funding Source: General Fund Responsible Agency: Planning Time Frame: 2014-2021 Program 14 - Streamline Processing The City continues to monitor permit processing times to ensure the fastest possible turnaround for applications. The City modified the application packet to simplify and streamline the application process. The City has also been computerizing property data to provide more reliable information to the public in a more cost-effective manner using new permitting software by Accela. This includes zoning, general plan, land use, property owner information, prior planning cases, county assessor maps, and digital aerial photographs for each parcel. The City's comprehensive zoning map and general plan land use map have also been computerized using enhanced geographic information system technology. Program Objective: Continue to monitor permit processing times and investigate ways to streamline the process. Continue to digitize information including building permits and the Zoning Code.

City of Downey Program 15 – Prioritize Housing Program Activities The City prioritizes housing program activities to address identified housing needs. Specifically, priority has been given to use of rehabilitation loans and grant monies to maintain Downey’s stable yet aging housing stock. In addition, the City uses CDBG and HOME funding sources to assist in improvements and expansions to the City’s existing housing stock. Similarly, funds are made available (through the Section 8 program) to address renter over payment issues. Finally, priority status has been given to the use of redevelopment agency housing set-aside funds to construct new housing affordable to low income residents. The City recognizes that housing priorities shift over time as housing needs change. The characteristics of the City’s current housing need have been identified through the Housing Needs Assessment specifically the analysis of the special needs groups. Based on the needs analysis in this Housing Element, there is a need to provide affordable rental units for large families. The City will also prioritize its program activities to meet the needs of other special needs groups, including extremely-low income households, and people with disabilities including developmental disabilities. Program Objective: Identify housing needs and prioritize housing program activities to meet those needs through annual updates to the City’s Consolidated Plan. Funding Source: Section 8, CDBG, HOME Responsible Agency: Housing Time Frame: 2014-2021 Program 16 - Planning and Development Fees The City conducts annual internal reviews of planning and development fees to ensure that the fees are not excessive and are appropriate to cover the cost of services provided. In addition, the City recently conducted a comprehensive review of its internal organization, operations, and finances. Included in this comprehensive study were recommendations for changes to the City’s fee structure, including development fees. Downey also streamlines the permitting process for residential projects, to minimize the holding and labor costs assumed by the project applicant. 2014- 2021 Housing Element 33
