BACKGROUND: 1.On January 7, 2014, the City Council adopted the Housing Element of the General Plan. The updated Housing Element contains goals and strategies to facilitate housing development to meet the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). 2.On December 5, 2017, the City Council adopted the Mid-Century General Plan and Implementation Program. The Implementation Program requires that staff prepare an annual report to the Planning Commission and the City Council on the progress of implementing the General Plan. 3.On April 1, 2020, staff filed the RHNA report with the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. State law requires the City to submit the annual report by April 1, 2020. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the State conveyed to cities and counties that the reports still had to be submitted by April 1, but City Council approval of the annual report could be given after the deadline. AGENDA ITEM 7.D. City Council July 7, 2020 Page 2 of 5 4. On May 26, 2020, staff presented the 2019 General Plan Annual Report to the Planning Commission (Attachment A). It was the second annual report after the adoption of the Mid-Century General Plan. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council review and approve the 2019 annual report. ANALYSIS: Government Code Section 65400 requires cities to prepare a General Plan Annual Progress Report which should include the following: 1. The City’s progress in implementing its General Plan; and 2. The status of new housing development especially with respect to meeting the number of units as assigned by RHNA. General Plan Implementation in 2019 Based on the strategies and schedules in the General Plan Implementation Program (Attachment “B”), staff completed the following tasks: 1. Prepared a grant application and received $160,000 in state planning funds to be used to develop objective design standards for multi-family developments. These standards will streamline the discretionary review process, maintain the City’s design objectives, reduce the cost of housing construction, and increase the speed of housing construction. 2. Completed the update of the Building and Construction Code. 3. Coordinated with the Management Services Department to complete the entitlement for the library expansion project. To implement the Crossroads Specific Plan, staff approved a mixed-use project within the Crossroads Specific Plan area. The development is a four-story building with 73 residential units and 15,000 square feet of commercial space. Staff also received a development proposal for a 24-unit apartment. The project is currently under review. A comprehensive revision to the Zoning Code, originally adopted in 1960, was completed and became effective on January 1, 2020. The updated code contained major revisions to the development standards for multiple families. Tables and graphics were added to the code to improve clarity. City Council July 7, 2020 Page 3 of 5 Housing Element Report 2019 Housing activities in 2019 showed a similar pattern to 2018. As the number of projects for infill housing development decreased, applications for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) remained strong. The City issued a total of 40 permits for accessory dwelling units compared to 23 permits in 2018, an increase of 17 permits. Thirty-six permits were issued for single-family developments in 2019 (five of these were accessory dwelling units) compared to 34 permits in 2018. Five permits were issued for multiple- family dwelling units compared to 22 units issued in 2018 (a decrease of 17 permits). The following table provides a comparison of housing activities in 2019 and 2018. The number of Certificates of Occupancy indicates the number of projects that completed construction. Table 1: 2019 and 2018 Building Permits and Certificates of Occupancy Breakdown Housing Activities in 2019 Permits Issued Certificates of Occupancy Issued Category Total Permits Net New Units Category Total Permits Net New Units New Single Family Dwelling Units 36 5 New Single Family Developments 51 25 New Multiple Family Dwelling Units 5 4 New Multiple Family Developments 6 5 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) 40 40 Accessory Dwelling Units 17 17 Total 81 49 Total 74 47 Housing Activities in 2018 New Single Family Dwelling Units 34 6 New Single Family Developments 53 7 New Multiple Family Dwelling Units 22 11 New Multiple Family Developments 47 33 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) 23 23 Accessory Dwelling Units 15 15 Total 79 40 Total 115 55 In terms of RHNA compliance, Table 2 below provides a quick reference about the City’s performance (More information can be found in attachment C). As demonstrated by the total number of new units created in the past seven years, the City is in good standing in terms of meeting the total number of units allocated by the state. However, City Council July 7, 2020 Page 4 of 5 providing affordable housing remains a challenge. The City has exceeded its obligation for above-moderate housing units by 225 units but is short 242 affordable units (the total allocation is 351 units). As the next eight-year cycle for the Housing Element approaches (2022-2030), the City needs to be prepared to face a dramatic increase in its RHNA allocation. The Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) at its February 24 meeting preliminarily assigned Temple City 2,183 additional housing units for the next eight years starting 2022. Among the total 2,183 units, 1,346 units must be provided as Very Low-, Low-, and Moderate-Income housing units. Next year, staff will start the update of the City’s Housing Element through which new strategies must be considered to promote affordable housing. Special Efforts to Tackle Economic Impact Due to COVID-19 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, staff has made some changes to the work plan. Staff postponed the plan to adopt an Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and Development Impact Fees, as those will add costs to construction. Staff added new tasks to the work plan aimed to help the economic recovery and enhance customers’ experience with City services. The following is the list of the new tasks. • Use CDBG to help financially distressed renters and businesses in the City. • Enhance the format and information provided through the City’s web site. This task also includes the plan of expanding online submittal portals and conducting virtual meetings with the customers. • Use business licensing as a platform to assist businesses. This task requires staff to look at ways to improve communication with businesses, the efficiency and ease of the process, and the identification of any business opportunities. • Begin the preparation of the Housing Element.

RHNA Reporting City of Temple City Planning Commission Staff Report June 26, 2020 FILE: PL 20-2354 ADDRESS: Citywide DESCRIPTION: General Plan Annual Progress Report 2019 APPLICANT: City of Temple City PROJECT PLANNER: Hesty Liu, AICP, Associate Planner ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15306 (Information Collection) of the California CEQA Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: Review the latest progress on the implementation of the General Plan and recommend to the City Council approving the annual report. SUMMARY: Pursuant to Government Code 65400, after the adoption of a General Plan, the City needs to prepare a report every year about the implementation of the adopted General Plan including the Housing Element. After the City Council reviews the report, the report will be submitted to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development. The Implementation Program of the City’s Mid-Century General Plan stipulates that the Planning Commission will review the report and submit it to the City Council. June 26, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting Address: Citywide File: PL 20-2354 Page 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: After the City adopted the Mid-Century General Plan in late 2017, staff prepared an annual report for the year of 2018 and presented it to the Planning Commission and the City Council. That report included a summary of the projects and programs implementing the General Plan, as well as the City’s performance on meeting the Regional Housing Need Assessment (RHNA). The annual report was subsequently submitted to the State for review and filing. This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the state allowed the City to delay the annual report as far as the City submits the RHNA reporting before the deadline of April 1, 2020. Staff filed the RHNA reporting on March 23, 2020 with the Department of Housing and Community Development and acknowledged that the annual report will follow once the City Council approves it. GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION 2019: The immediate result of implementing the Mid-Century General Plan was the adoption of the Crossroads Specific Plan in 2018. The Crossroads Specific Plan was crafted to encourage housing and mixed-use development. Last year the Director approved a mixed-use project within the Crossroads Specific Plan area, a four-story building with 73 residential units and 15,000 square feet of commercial space . Staff also received an application proposing a 24-unit apartment. The apartment project is currently in the preliminary design review phase which will be ready for approval once the design is deemed satisfactory. Finishing the Zoning Code update is another milestone. Since the City’s incorporation in 1960, it was the first comprehensive revision to the Zoning Code. The updated Zoning Code takes a new form in which tables and graphics are frequently used to improve clarity. The new Zoning Code included changing multi-family development standards to put more emphasis on shared common courtyards and less on driveways and parking. The Zoning Code also includes some new uses, new sign types, and other changes to reflect new technology, changes in culture, and new laws. In addition to the above, staff also finished the following tasks in 2019. 1. Prepared a grant application and received a $160,000 in state planning funds to be used to develop Objective Design Standards for multi-family developments. The Objective Design Standards will streamline the discretionary review process, maintain the City’s design objectives, reduce the cost of housing construction, and increase the speed of housing construction. 2. Completed the update of the Building and Construction Code. 3. Coordinated with the Management Services Department in completing the entitlement for the library expansion project. “Attachment 2” provides an update on other programs of the General Plan Implementation. HOUSING ELEMENT REPORT 2019 In the past few years between 2013 and 2015, the City had experienced an above-average period of housing construction. Beginning in 2016, activity started to shift toward smaller projects. The trend June 26, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting Address: Citywide File: PL 20-2354 Page 3 continued into 2019. In 2019, the City issued a total of 45 permits for accessory dwelling units (five of which are part of a new single-family construction), and 36 permits for new single-family residences. Permits issued for single-family residences represents a 41percent decrease if compared with the same type of development in 2016. The number of Certificate of Occupancy indicates the projects that were completed. In 2019, the City issued Certificate of Occupancy for 51 new single-family residences, six multi-family units, and 17 accessory dwelling units. Table 1 below provides more details. Table 1: 2019 Building Permits and Certificates of Occupancy Breakdown Permits Issued Certificates of Occupancy Issued Category Total Permits Net New Units Category Total Permits Net New Units New Single Family Developments 36 5 New Single Family Developments 51 25 New Multiple Family Developments 5 4 New Multiple Family Developments 6 5 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) 40 40 Accessory Dwelling Units 17 17 Total 81 49 Total 74 47 In terms of meeting the allocation of RHNA, Table 2 summarizes the City’s performance. From the perspective of total net units set by RHNA (603 units), the City has accumulated 586 units, which is only 17 units from reaching the City’s allocation. This 8-year RHNA cycle ends in 2020, and staff is optimistic about the City adding an additional 17 units this year. For affordable units, the City is short 242 units (the total allocation is 351 units). Although units constructed for above-moderate-income housing has exceeded the RHNA allocation by 225 units, and all ADU units are categorized as low-income housing based on a survey conducted in the previous year, the challenge of providing more affordable housing persists. At its February 24 meeting, SCAG adopted its methodology for assigning each jurisdiction’s allocation for the next housing cycle starting 2021. In this methodology, Temple City is allocated a total of 2,183 housing units, 1,346 of which are Very Low-, Low-, and Moderate-Income units. As the new cycle for the Housing Element update is approaching, staff will be updating the Housing Element. Through that effort we will be investigating means of satisfying the City’s RHNA. Table 2: 2019 RHNA Report (2019 performance is in the highlighted column) June 26, 2020 Planning Commission Meeting Address: Citywide File: PL 20-2354 Page 4 THE YEAR AHEAD - AFTERMATH OF COVID-19 With the COVID-19 pandemic, staff has adjusted the work plan for calendar year 2020. Staff proposes to postpone the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance and Development Impact Fees, as those will add costs to construction. The following are items in the work plan for calendar year 2020 which are aimed at helping the economy recover and providing excellent customer service while allowing customers to “socially distance” and receive services virtually. • Explore the potential of using CDBG to help financially distressed renters and businesses in the city. • Continue to improve the online services and access to information through the City’s website. • Develop strategies to assist local businesses during and after the pandemic. • Begin preparation of the Housing Element. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15306 (Information Collection) of the California CEQA Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION: Review the latest progress on the implementation of the General Plan and recommend to the City Council approving the annual report.

If so, an Initial Study must be prepared to identify the environmental impacts of the project and determine whether the identified impacts are "significant". Based on its findings of "significance", the City prepares one of the following environmental review documents: • Negative Declaration if it finds no "significant" impacts; • Mitigated Negative Declaration if it finds "significant" impacts but revises the project to avoid or mitigate those significant impacts; or • Environmental Impact Report (EIR) if it finds "significant" impacts The Program EIR prepared for the Mid-Century Plan constitutes an “umbrella” document describing citywide impacts that may be used by subsequent projects found to be consistent with the Mid-Century Plan to tier from. Responsible Departments: • Community Development X X Staff will adopt a standard of using vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to measure impacts. Rather than using the congestion levels at intersections (level of service or “LOS,” graded on a scale of A -F, VMT measures the per capita number of car trips generated by a project and distances cars traveled to and from a project. Affordable Housing Code Compliance Continue to permit second dwelling units by right in R -1, R-2, and R-3 zones, as set forth in the City’s Zoning Code (Temple City Municipal Code, Chapter 9, Article M) and ensure that future zoning code updates will permit second dwelling units by right in residential zones, pursuant to AB 1866.
