The zoningdesignations in the inventory are based onthe existing General Plan. The citycompleted a parcel-by-parcel inventory of allvacant appropriately zoned land as well asan inventory of all specific plans. Theinventory is current as of October 2004. 28The land inventory will assist the City inmaking a determination of the number ofresidential units that could potentially bedeveloped during the housing elementplanning period in relation to the City’sMORENO VALLEY GENERAL PLANRegional Housing Needs Assessment(RHNA) share. The land inventory inTables 8-20, 8-21, 8-22 and 8-23 reflectsthe density and number of vacant acres ineach zoning designation and the potentialdevelopment yield. Based on Table 8-19 itwas determined that sites withredevelopment potential are not required toaccommodate the balance of the City’sregional need for the current planningperiod and that the existing vacant landidentified in the inventory will meet theRHNA needs for very low-income and lowincomehouseholds.8.4.4 Very Low-Income Housing PotentialVacant parcels in the Office, OfficeCommercial and those within theSunnymead Village Specific Plan (SP204)consisting of Village Office Residential,Village Commercial Residential and VillageResidential as well as R5 are included inTable 8-20.
