Agenda Heading: Staff presentations
TITLE:
2021-2029 Housing Element Update Study Session
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive staff report, public input, and provide comments on Housing Element Update
(including preliminary map of potential new housing locations).
FISCAL IMPACT:
No direct costs associated with this study session. The Housing Element update process
is primarily funded by a $160,000 S132 State Grant and General Plan Maintenance Fund.
BACKGROUND:
On January 19, 2021, staff updated City Council on several housing -related initiatives
including the 2021-2029 Housing Element update process (see Exhibit 1). The primary
reasons behind the initiatives are: 1) Ongoing Statewide housing crisis; and 2) State -
mandated 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation for El
Segundo, which has increased sevenfold from the previous allocation in 2013. In
February 2021, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) completed its
final RHNA allocation for the City of El Segundo as follows:
The Citv's 2021-2029 RHNA Numbers
Very -low income units:
189
Low income units:
88
Moderate income units:
84*
Above -moderate income units:
131
Total units:
492**
*Increased from 83 to 84 units from the September 2020 draft allocation.
** Increased from 491 units to 492 units from the September 2020 draft allocation.

2021-2029 Housing Element Update Study Session
June 14, 2021
Page 2 of 4
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this report is to:
1. Update City Council and Planning Commission on the City's 2021-2029 Housing
Element public outreach efforts since January 2021; and
2. Present a preliminary housing Site Inventory that complies with State criteria.
1. Public Outreach Efforts
Consistent with City Council Strategic Plan (Goal No. 1: Enhance Customer Service
and Engagement), staff has pursued several methods to engage the community in the
Housing Element update process.
A. Dedicated webpage.
In March 2021, staff established a dedicated page on the City website where the
public can find information about the Housing Element update process and
opportunities to participate in the process.
B. Public survey.
In April 2021, staff released a survey to gauge the community's thoughts on
housing issues. The survey was posted on the City's Housing Element webpage
and was promoted through emails, postings on social media, and announcements
on City website homepage. The survey questions covered the following topics:
i. Types of housing that are needed in El Segundo
ii. Amenities/services that may be located in or near housing developments
iii. Population groups that most need housing in El Segundo
iv. Concerns the community has regarding housing in El Segundo
v. Goals that may be included in the new Housing Element
vi. Locations for new housing in El Segundo
The City received a total of 1,134 responses to the community survey. The full
survey and responses are included in Exhibit 2.

C. Community meeting.
On April 13, 2021, staff conducted a virtual community meeting about the Housing
Element and obtain input on important housing issues. The meeting was attended
by over 70 residents and housing stakeholders. Staff answered many questions,
received valuable input, and encouraged the attendees to take the City survey.
2. Preliminary Site Inventory
A key component of the Housing Element is a Site Inventory, which is a map of specific
properties where new housing units may feasibly be developed within the next 8-year
period (2021-2029). The goal is to find properties to accommodate the City's RHNA
allocation (492 units), plus a reasonable buffer (in case some of the properties are not
developed in the 8-year planning period). To qualify for the Site Inventory a property
must meet certain criteria, such as a minimum size, location near amenities or public
services, location in zones that permit necessary development density, or location in
areas that may be converted into those zones. The State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) has developed strict criteria for determining whether
a specific property is adequate and should be included in the City's Site Inventory.
Staff and City's consultant team have prepared a preliminary map of sites that comply
with most of HCD's criteria for consideration by Planning Commission and City
Council. None of the sites identified on the map are located east of Pacific Coast
Highway. The preliminary Site Inventory map is included in Exhibit 3.
3. Next Steps
The HCD deadline to submit the City's adopted Housing Element for certification is
October 15, 2021 with a 120-day grace period. Staff anticipates having to use the
grace period, due to the required California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review
process, which staff has recently initiated. Following the study session, staff will
complete a draft Housing Element to incorporate input received from City Council and
Planning Commission. The draft 2021-2029 Housing Element will be presented to
Planning Commission for review, submitted to HCD for its review, followed by City
Council public hearings for adoption. HCD certification of the adopted Housing
Element is the last step in the process after City Council adoption. The anticipated
timeline for the next steps is summarized below.

TITLE:
Update on City's effort to meet State affordable housing mandates, including Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) and the Housing Element.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The housing programs and activities described in this report are funded by the following
sources:
1. $160,000 in S132 grant funding
2. $65,000 in LEAP grant funding
3. General Plan maintenance fund
4. Affordable housing in -lieu fee fund
BACKGROUND:
City's Response to the California Housing Crisis
In the last decade, a housing crisis emerged in California that consists of two supply and
demand components: a shortage of housing and a lack of affordability. Due to the
housing crisis, and in response to the State's mandates to provide more affordable
housing, the City Council in past months has directed staff to pursue several avenues
that will lead to meeting State affordable housing mandates. This report is an update on
the City's efforts and is organized in the following sections:
A. An update on the City's 2013-2021 Housing Element and its associated Regional
Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
B. RHNA expectations for the 2021-2029 housing cycle.
C. Status of City Council authorized activities and programs for providing affordable
housing, including preparation of the 2021-2029 Housing Element to the General Plan.
D. Summary of anticipated housing related actions for 2021.
For a regional understanding of the housing crisis, the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG) has published a report that describes the extent, causes and
potential solutions to the housing crisis. The full SCAG report can be found at the following
link: httos://scao.ca.aov/sites/main/files/file-attachments/housinanlanninaauicie2016.gdf.

Housing update
January 19, 2021
Page 2 of 9
DISCUSSION:
A. 2013-2021 RHNA Numbers and Housing Element Status
Projected housing needs for cities and counties in our region are prepared by SCAG
under a process known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). RHNA
allocates regional housing needs by income level among member jurisdictions. The City's
adopted 2013-2021 Housing Element identified a SCAG allocated need for 69 housing
units. This allocation is broken down into four income level categories, which are
expressed as a percentage of the county median income. The four categories and the
allocated numbers are listed below:
Very -low income units
18
(50 percent of median or less)
Low income units
11
(50 to 80 percent)
Moderate income units
12
(80 to 120 percent)
Above -moderate income units
28
(120 percent and above
_
Total units
69
As of January 1, 2021, the City has permitted 164 housing units during the current housing
cycle in the above moderate income (market) level. But no units have been permitted at
the lower income levels. Therefore, the City has not made progress toward meeting its
2013-2021 RHNA allocation for the lower income levels.
B. 2021-2029 RHNA NUMbe
On September 4, 2020, SCAG notified the City of the draft RHNA allocation for El
Segundo. The allocation for El Segundo consists of:
Very -low income units: 189
Low income units: 88
Moderate income units: 83
Above -moderate income Units: 131
Total units: 491
The Final RHNA Allocations are anticipated to be issued in February 2021.

C. Status of City Council authorized activities and programs
Establishment of a Housing Division
In September 2020, concurrently with adoption of the 2020/2021 budget, the City
Council established a Housing Division within the Development Services Department.
The new Housing Division's responsibilities include the following overarching goals:
1. Preserve and protect the existing affordable housing stock;
2. Provide sufficient new, affordable housing opportunities in the City to meet the
needs of groups with special requirements, including the needs of lower and
moderate -income households;
3. Provide opportunities for new housing construction in a variety of locations and
densities to achieve a diversity of housing;
4. Remove governmental constraints on housing development, as necessary; and
5. Promote equal housing opportunities including ownership and rental housing.
Establishing the City's Housing Program:
The new Housing Division is proceeding with development of the programs that the
City Council has authorized. These programs are:
1. Preparation of the 2021-2029 Housing Element
As required by State law, the City is developing the next Housing Element. Chosen
from a list of candidates that submitted proposals, the City entered into an
agreement with Veronica Tam & Associates, Inc. to prepare the next Housing
Element to the General Plan. The City's consultant is now in the first phase of its
work which includes evaluating the City's progress in implementing the 2013-2021
Housing Element.
The City's next Housing Element must contain an inventory of sites zoned to
accommodate enough residential development under each of the RHNA income
level categories. In addition, it must contain programs, policies, and actions that
will facilitate enough residential development to meet the need under each of the
RHNA income level categories.
Next steps: Following a public workshop in March/April, the draft Housing Element
will be presented to the Planning Commission in May or June 2021. The draft
Housing Element will be submitted to HCD (California Department of Housing and
Community Development) for review in July/August 2021, followed by City Council
public hearings for adoption in October 2021. Certification of the adopted Housing
Element will follow by the end of 2021.

2. Selection of an Affordable Housing Services Provider
By way of background, in February 2019, the 540 Imperial Avenue project was
developing into a major issue as alternatives to six required affordable units were
being proposed by the developer. As a result, in lieu of providing the six affordable
residences, the 540 Imperial Avenue project provided the City with $5.3 million to
provide affordable housing elsewhere from this project. This money can be utilized
as seed money to receive other affordable housing monies that can create a
realistic housing program. As a result of receiving this money, in March 2020, the
City Council authorized staff to prepare a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking
qualified affordable housing developers to provide housing development and
administrative services to the City. The selected respondent will assist the City in
fulfilling their affordable housing needs as defined in the State of California's
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals.
As a result of the RFQ, staff received 13 responses, followed by interviews with a
short list of respondents. Tentatively scheduled for the February 2, 2021 City
Council meeting, the Council will be provided with a finalist recommendation for
the Council's consideration and direction.
Next steps: If the City Council accepts staffs recommendation, the City and the
respondent will enter into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA). If the
negotiations are successful, staff will bring forward to the City Council a
development and administrative services agreement for consideration and action.
The ultimate goal is for the selected company/team to work closely with the City to
assist in the following:
a. Developing a strategic plan for producing affordable housing units to assist the
City in fulfilling future Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) goals;
b. Identifying properties with the potential for affordable housing development,
and existing rental projects that may be suitable for acquisition, rehabilitation
and conversion to deed -restricted affordable housing projects; and
c. Assisting in the ongoing monitoring and administration of affordable housing
units that are produced in El Segundo.
3. SB 2 Planning Grant
On July 10, 2019, the City submitted an application to the Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) for funding under the SB2 Planning Grants
Program. The application was approved and the City was awarded $160,000 on
April 10, 2020. The awarded funds will be used to compensate a planning
consulting firm to complete the following Housing Element related projects:
a. Zoning Regulations Analysis. This effort will review and analyze development
standards in the Zoning Code, applicable specific plans, and other City
requirements to determine whether and to what extent they impede residential
202
11
Housing update
January 19, 2021
Page 5 of 9
development in the City's existing residential zones. The analysis will also
propose changes to development standards and other options that will result in
optimizing development density in the City's existing zoning districts.
b. Comprehensive RHNA Sites Inventory Analysis/RHNA Action Strategy. This
effort will involve an in-depth analysis of the residential areas of the City to
determine the development capacity on a parcel by parcel basis and identify
residential areas that would be appropriate for increased densities. The
resulting report and list of sites will become the basis for the new Housing
Element that will be prepared in 2021.
The following three ordinances are included in the City's 2013-2021 Housing
Element and their adoption this year will directly implement a Housing Element
requirement.
c. Density Bonus ordinance. This ordinance will produce City regulations
consistent with State Law that incentivizes the provision of affordable housing
in development projects in return for additional density and other development
standard exceptions.
d. Single Room Occupancy (SRO) housing ordinance. This ordinance will produce
City regulations consistent with current State Law that will provide locations and
development standards for SRO housing. This type of housing is typically
restricted to occupancy by no more than two persons and may include a kitchen
and/or a bathroom. It is considered an option for providing affordable housing
opportunities.
e. Transitional and Supportive Housing ordinance. This type of housing typically
serves as a short-term stay (up to two years) when an individual or household
is waiting to secure permanent housing. This ordinance will produce City
regulations consistent with State Law that will provide locations and
development standards for Transitional and Supportive housing.
On November 17, 2020, the City Council awarded a contract to CSG Consultants,
Inc. to prepare the above ordinances and studies. CSG has initiated work on the
S132 Grant projects, with the RHNA Sites Inventory Analysis given a higher priority.
Next steps: Staff anticipates scheduling a workshop before the Planning
Commission and City Council in late March or April 2021 to present CSG's work.
Other community outreach efforts will follow later in the year along with Planning
Commission and City Council public hearings for the adoption of the three
ordinances in late Summer and Fall 2021.

4. LEAP Grant
On June 23, 2020, the City applied for a grant under HCD's Local Early Action
Planning (LEAP) Grants program. Subsequently, HCD approved the grant
application and awarded $65,000 in grant funding. The grant funds will be utilized
to pay for consultant services to conduct research, public outreach and prepare an
Inclusionary Housing ordinance for City Council consideration. Inclusionary
housing ordinances typically require developers to set aside a certain percentage
of residential units in their projects for lower income residents.
On December 8, 2020, the City released an RFP for consulting firms to assist the
City with preparation of an Inclusionary Housing ordinance. The deadline to submit
responses to the RFP was January 11, 2021.
Next steps: After review of the RFP responses, staff will present an item to the City
Council in February with a recommended consulting firm for the Council's
consideration and direction. A public workshop and other stakeholder outreach
activities will occur in the Spring and Summer 2021, followed by Planning
Commission and City Council public hearings for the adoption in Fall 2021.
5. Downtown Specific Plan update RFP
The current Downtown Specific Plan was adopted on December 1, 2000. It is a
mixed -use plan that permits residential uses at a density of 12.5 units per acre.
The Downtown is an area where there is potential to add more housing by
increasing the permitted density. In addition to improving the Downtown area
overall, increasing housing density could contribute significantly toward meeting
the RHNA numbers in the City's next Housing Element.
On October 14, 2020, the City released an RFP for a consulting firm to assist the
City in updating the Downtown Specific Plan (DSP) and preparing a related
Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The deadline to submit responses to the RFP
was on December 1, 2020 and the City received 12 responses. Staff is currently
evaluating the responses of candidate firms.
Next steps: After developing a short list, staff will schedule interviews in February
2021. Following the interview process, staff will present an item to City Council in
March 2021 with a recommended consulting firm for the Council's consideration
and direction. It is anticipated that an updated Downtown Specific Plan will be
brought to the City Council for adoption in August 2022.
6. Civic Center Redevelopment RFQ
On October 16, 2020, the City released an RFQ for development companies to
assist the City with investigating the feasibility and planning for the redevelopment
of the 3.8-acre Civic Center site. Redevelopment of the Civic Center may include
204
13
Housing update
January 19, 2021
Page 7 of 9
consolidation and/or relocation of some City facilities, as well as reserving portions
of the site for potential commercial and residential development. This effort will be
undertaken in coordination with the Downtown Specific Plan update and has the
potential to assist the City in meeting its RHNA numbers while helping revitalize
the downtown area.
The deadline to submit responses to the Civic Center RFQ was December 18,
2020 and the City received 10 responses. Staff is currently reviewing the RFQ
responses to develop a short list of qualified candidate firms.
Next steps: Following the RFQ response review, staff will invite qualified
candidates to submit a package illustrating the developer's approach for the site
for evaluation. This process is anticipated to occur January -June 2021. Next, the
City may invite potential developers to meet with staff, representatives and
consultants to discuss the proposed approaches in June and July 2021. Staff
anticipates presenting one of more candidates for City Council consideration and
direction in August 2021. The preferred developer will then commence the project
design process including public workshops in September 2021. It is anticipated
that a project will be brought to City Council for approval in August 2022.
D. Summary of Anticipated City Actions for 2021
