FROM: Grant Taylor, Director of Development Services
SUBJECT: General Plan Amendment No. 2007 -01
Lynwood Housing Element Update
APPLICANT: City of Lynwood
Proposal
For the Lynwood Planning Commission, residents and general public to review and
comment on the Draft Update to the Lynwood Housing Element.
Background
The Planning Commission has reviewed the Draft Housing Element at their meetings of
April 10 and May 8, 2007. At the last meeting the Commission directed staff to gain City
Council approval to conduct a Special Planning Commission Meeting and workshop to
provide the public an opportunity to review and comment. The City Council directed staff
to conduct the meeting on Saturday, June 2, 2007.
Notice of the special meeting was published in the Lynwood Press for three consecutive
weeks, placed on the City website, placed at the Lynwood Unified School District Offices
and at the Los Angeles County Library.
The Housing Element was last adopted by the Lynwood City Council on May 15, 2001
pursuant to self certification. It is good planning practice to update the Housing Element
at least every five (5) years. The State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) is the agency responsible for reviewing and implementing applicable
housing element law.
The last planning period was from 1998 to 2005 and the City of Lynwood was required to
provide for 979 new housing units to accommodate future population and job projections
as identified by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The city
approved 595 homes leaving a deficiency of 383 residences.
H\ WORDFILE\PI .ANNING\STAFFRP'(bTe1007 -01 hmmgeleme,m., s,.p 6-107 duc
The next Planning period preliminary housing projections from SCAG for the City of
Lynwood is 360 units. The City has taken great strides to provide housing to all segments
of the community including adoption of a specific plan allowing mixed use developments,
increasing residential density, relaxing zoning entitlements for single - family residences
and duplexes and encouraging residential developments through redevelopment efforts.
Discussion & Analysis
California Government Code Section 65302(c) requires municipalities to adopt a Housing
Element as a mandatory component of the General Plan. The Housing Element shall
include an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, goals,
policies, objectives and programs for the preservation, improvement and development of
housing.
The Housing Element shall make provisions for the existing and projected needs of all
segments of the community and requires adequate sites for rental housing, factory built
housing and mobile homes.
The Lynwood Draft Housing Element Update provides a more detailed analysis of
adequate sites pursuant to the requirements of Assembly Bill AB 2348. Relevant data has
been updated to reflect current conditions and fulfill certain statutory requirements. The
document also addresses comments and concerns from HCD.
The Draft Housing Element Update has been reorganized in an effective and efficient
manner to provide a comprehensive document identifying current and projected housing
needs and programs as follows:

CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
CHAPTER 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 1998 -2005 Housing Element provides for the identification and
analysis of existing and projected housing needs and articulates the City's
official policies for the preservation, conservation, improvement, and
production of housing within the City of Lynwood.
A. BACKGROUND
Section 65302(c) of the California Government Code requires every city
and county to adopt afHousing Element as a component to the General
Plan. State law requires the Housing Element provide "an identification
and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of
goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs for the
preservation, improvement, and development of housing." State law
mandates the Housing Element "shall identify adequate sites for housing,
including rental housing, factory-built housing, and mobile homes, and
shall make adequate provision for the existing and projected needs of all
economic segments of the community "
B. PURPOSE AND CONTENT
The Housing Element for the 1998 -2005 Planning period has been
prepared in compliance with State Housing Element law It examines the
City of Lynwood's housing needs as they exist today, and projects future
housing needs. It sets forth statements of community goals, objectives
and policies concerning those needs, and it includes a housing program
that responds to current and future needs within the limitations posed by
available resources. The housing program details a 7 schedule of
actions to achieve its goals and objectives. Upon its adoption by the
Lynwood City Council, this updated Housing Element will serve as a
comprehensive statement of the City's housing policies and as a specific
guide for program actions to be taken in support of those policies.
Page 1 -1
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
State law recognizes that housing needs may exceed available resources
and, therefore, does not require that the City's quantified objectives be
identical to the identified housing needs. This recognition of limitations is
critical during this period of uncertainties in both the public and private
sectors. Fiscal resources at all governmental levels are limited and
uncertain and the private marketplace is undergoing substantial change.
As a result, the methods for achieving the City of Lynwood's objectives, or
the ability to meet them at all, as stated today, may be less relevant
tomorrow or a year from tomorrow Therefore, it is intended that this
housing element be reviewed annually and updated and modified not less
than every 5 years in order to remain relevant and useful to decision -
makers, the private sector, and the residents of the City
C. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER ELEMENTS AND
PLANS
The California Government Code requires internal consistency among the
various elements of a General Plan. Section 65300.5 of the Government
Code states that the General Plan's various Elements shall provide an
integrated and internally consistent and compatible statement of policy
City staff has reviewed the other elements of the General Plan and has
determined that this Housing Element provides consistency with the other
Elements of the General Plan. The City will maintain this consistency as
future General Plan amendments are processed by evaluating proposed
amendments for consistency with all elements of the General Plan.
D. USE OF RELEVANT AND CURRENT DATA
To properly understand housing, a complete review and analysis of the
community's population characteristics and housing stock must be
performed. The most current available data has been included as part of
this revised Housing Element.
The 1998 -2005 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA),
formulated by the California Association of Governments (SCAG), was
utilized at the direction of the State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) The RHNA is the only model prepared
by SCAG that disaggregates housing needs among all economic
segment s of the community
Finally, the data collected by various sources and utilized in the updating
of this Housing Element may reflect totals which are not identical. In most
respects, the totals are not as significant as the trends illustrated in the
data collected. However, where totals of population and housing counts
were reported for the same period, they may have been adjusted to be
consistent with the most valid source known.

HOUSING ELEMENT
E. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
This Housing Element was developed through the combined efforts of
City staff, the City's Planning Commission, the City Council, and the City's
consultants, Wagner & Associates, Inc. and RBF Consulting. Citizen
input was received through workshops and public hearings conducted by
the Planning Commission and City Council. The notices for these
workshops and hearings were published in a local newspaper and
prominently posted at City Hall and other public facilities. In addition,
organizations that represent the interests of lower income and special
needs households, or are otherwise involved in the development of
affordable housing, were consulted during the preparation of this Housing
Element. These organizations include the Los Angeles Housing Authority,
the local task force for ending homelessness, and non - profit housing
corporations, as well as for - profit developers that have been active in
developing or preserving affordable housing within the City
F. REVIEW OF PREVIOUS ELEMENT
When preparing State mandated updates to the Housing Element, each
local government is required to evaluate its progress toward achieving the
goals contained in the previous housing element. This evaluation should
include a discussion of the following: 1) the effectiveness of the housing
element in the attainment of the State housing goal; 2) any analysis of the
significant differences between what was projected and what was
achieved; and 3) a description of how the goals, objectives, policies and
programs of the updated element incorporate what has been learned from
the results of the previous element. A more detailed review is provided in
Appendix C of this Housing Element.

B. EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
Housing needs are affected by employment trends. Significant
employment opportunities within the City can lead to growth in the
demand for housing with a close proximity to jobs. Additionally, the
quality and pay of available employment can aid in determining the type
and prices of housing needed.
As shown in Table 2 -5, the largest numbers of Lynwood's residents in
2000 were employed within the educational, health, and social service
industry, representing 18.3% of the population, followed by the
professional, scientific, managements, administrative and waste
management service industries and retail trade. While only 0.3% of
Lynwood's residents were in the agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting,
and mining industries.

C. HOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICS
Before future needs can be anticipated, current housing characteristics
and trends need to be identified. This section is an analysis of household
size, household growth, and income trends in the City of Lynwood. By
definition a "household" consists of all the people occupying a dwelling
unit, whether or not they are related. A single person living in an
apartment is a household, just as a couple with two children and an
unrelated tenant living in the same dwelling unit is considered a
household.
Household Formation and Composition
According to U S. Census data, there were 14,432 households in
Lynwood in 2000. As shown in Table 2 -7, the number of total households
in Lynwood increased by 0.6% from 1990 to 2000 In comparison to Los
Angeles County and the State of California, this is a relatively small
percent increase in the number of total households. The number of
county -wide households increased by 4 7 %, while California's households
increased by 10.7 %.

2. Jobs to Housing Balance
An imbalance between the location of housing and the location of jobs is
an indicator of housing affordability and local job availability One way of
determining if Lynwood's households commute out of the City to work is

3. Vacancy Rates
Vacancy rates are a measure of the general availability of housing. II
also indicates how well the type of available units meet the housing
demand market. A low vacancy rate suggests that households may have
difficulty finding housing within their price range, where as a high vacancy
rate indicates that either the units available are undesirable or there is an
oversupply of housing units. The availability of vacant housing units
provides households with choices in the type and price of a unit that
accommodates their specific needs. Low vacancy rates can result in
higher prices and limit households in finding adequate housing. It may
also contribute to overcrowding.
A vacancy rate of 5% is considered normal enough to minimize prices
pressure on rents. As shown in Table 2 -19, 3.9% of Lynwood's housing
units were vacant at the time of the 2000 U.S. Census. This vacancy rate
is lower than the County as a whole with a 4.2% vacancy rate.

4. Age of Housing Stock
Table 2 -20 shows the age of the City's housing stock as reported in the
2000 U.S Census. Age is one way to measure housing stock conditions
and a factor in determining the need for rehabilitation. Without proper
maintenance housing units deteriorate over time. Thus units that are
older are more likely to need major repairs and rehabilitation. In addition,
older housing units may not be built to current fire standards and building
codes.
In general, housing over 30 years are more likely to experience deferred
maintenance issues and may need minor repairs. Housing over 50 years
old is considered aged and are more likely to need major repairs. In
Lynwood, approximately 76.9% of housing units were built prior to 1970
and 37 1% were built prior to 1950. This indicates that a considerable
amount of the City's current housing is at an age that typically requires
maintenance.

C. Affordability Gap Analysis
The cost of home ownership and renting can be compared to a
household's ability to pay for housing. Housing affordability is defined as
paying no more than 30% of the household income on housing expenses.
Based on the 2000 HUD median family income, Table 2 -24 identifies
affordable rent payments and purchase prices from each income

CHAPTER 3
HOUSING NEEDS ANALYSIS
Several factors will influence the degree of demand, or "need," for new
housing in Lynwood in the near future. The four major "needs" categories
considered in this element include.
• Housing needs resulting from population growth, both in the City
and the surrounding region;
• Housing needs resulting from overcrowding;
• Housing needs that result when households are paying more than
they can afford for housing; and,
• Housing needs of "special needs groups" such as elderly, large
families, female- headed households, households with a disabled
person, and the homeless.
A. REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
California's Housing Element law requires that each city and county
develop local housing programs designed to meet its "fair share" of
existing and future housing needs for all income groups, as determined
by the jurisdiction's Council of Governments, when preparing the state -
mandated Housing Element of its General Plan. This "fair share"
allocation concept seeks to ensure that each jurisdiction accepts
responsibility for the housing needs of not only its resident population, but
also for those households who might reasonably be expected to reside
within the jurisdiction, particularly lower income households. This
assumes the availability of a variety and choice of housing
accommodations appropriate to their needs. The City of Lynwood is a
member government of the Southern California Association of
Page 3 -1
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
Governments (SCAG), which prepared a Regional Housing Needs
Assessment (RHNA) in 1999 that quantifies the existing and growth
needs for housing in Lynwood.
Existing Needs
The portion of the RHNA dealing with existing housing needs addresses
two conditions that can create housing demand: overpayment and
overcrowding.
a. Households Overpaying for Housing
A household is considered to be overpaying for housing when more than
30% of the household's gross income goes toward paying for shelter A
high cost of housing eventually causes fixed - income, elderly, and lower
income families to use a disproportionate percentage of their income for
housing. This may cause a series of related financial problems which may
result in a deterioration of housing stock, because costs associated with
home maintenance must be sacrificed for more immediate needs (e.g.
food, clothing, medical care, and utilities). It may also result in the
selection of inappropriately sized housing units that do not meet the
space or amenity needs of the household.
Table 3 -1, based on data from the 1999 SCAG RHNA, shows the number
and percentage of owners and renters in four income groups who
experience overpayment.

The population with the highest percentage of overpayment identified in
Table 3 -1 is renter households in the Very-Low Income category In this
category, 76.8% households are overpaying for housing. Among Very-
Low Income households that own their housing, 55.4% experience
overpayment. This means that 69.2% of all Very-Low Income households
report overpayment problems.
In the income categories above Very-Low Income, renter households
experience lower percentages of overpayment than owner households.
For instance, 23.4% of Low - income renter households report
Page 3 -2
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
overpayment problems, compared to 56 8% of Low Income owner
households. In the households earning 80% to 95% of median income,
10.5% of renter households and 40% of owner households report
overpayment problems, Overall, 47 4% of renter households experience
overpayment, compared to 39.1 % of owner households.
b. Overcrowding
In response to higher housing prices, lower- income households are often
forced to accept smaller housing units, which may result in overcrowding.
Overcrowding places a strain on housing units and the delivery of public
services, eventually contributing to the deterioration of the housing stock
and neighborhoods.
A household is considered overcrowded when the number of people
exceeds the number of rooms in the housing unit. Overcrowding is often
reflective of one of three conditions: 1) a family or household is living in a
dwelling that is too small; 2) a family chooses to house extended family
members (i.e., grandparents or grown children and their families living
with parents, called "doubling "); or 3) a family is renting living space to
non - family members.

Table 3 -2 shows the number and percentage of owners and renters in
four income groups who experience overcrowding, as reported in the
1999 SCAG RHNA. In every income category, renter households
experience higher rates of overcrowding than owner households. Rates of
overcrowding in renter households increase from 51.9% of very-low
income households, to 54.8% of low- income households, to 63.9% of
households earning 80 -95% of area median income. In renter households
earning over 95% of area median income, 37 7% experience
overcrowding. Overall, 517% of renter households experience
overcrowding, and 37.6% of owner households.
2. 1998 -2005 Growth Needs
The fair share allocation process begins with the State Department of
Finance's projection of total statewide housing demand, which is then
apportioned by the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) among each of the State's official regions. The
Page 3 -3
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
regions are represented by an agency typically termed a Council of
Governments, or COG In the six county Southern California region,
which includes Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino,
Ventura, and Imperial Counties, the agency responsible for assigning
these fair share targets to each jurisdiction is SCAG. In this RHNA cycle,
SCAG coordinated with the Gateway Cities COG, the subregional council
for southeast Los Angeles County jurisdictions. The final fair share
allocations were approved by SCAG in November of 2000
In the process of making jurisdiction- specific allocations, SCAG and the
Subregional Councils of Governments must consider a variety of factors,
including market demand for housing, employment opportunities,
commuting patterns, and the availability of suitable sites and public
facilities.
A local jurisdiction's "fair share" of regional housing need is the number of
additional dwelling units needed to accommodate the anticipated growth
in the number of households, to replace expected demolitions and
conversion of housing units to non - housing uses, and to achieve a future
vacancy rate that allows for the healthy functioning of the housing market.
Total housing need is then allocated to four income categories used in
Federal and State programs: Very-Low, Low, Moderate, and Above -
Moderate Income, defined operationally as earning up to 50 %, 51% to
80 %, 81% to 120 %, and more than 120% of the Los Angeles -Long Beach
Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) median income,
respectively The allocations are further adjusted to avoid an over -
concentration of lower income households in any one jurisdiction.
Each jurisdiction's future housing need is estimated in terms of four
factors: (1) the number of units needed to accommodate forecasted
household growth; (2) the number of units needed to replace demolitions
due to attrition in the housing stock (i.e., fire damage, obsolescence,
redevelopment and conversions to non - housing uses); (3) maintaining an
ideal vacancy rate for a well- functioning housing market; and (4) an
adjustment to avoid an over- concentration of lower- income households in
any one jurisdiction.
As shown in Table 3 -3, Lynwood's total fair share allocation is 979 new
housing units.

B. SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS
Elderly Persons
Many elderly have special housing needs due to fixed incomes and
limited mobility Housing construction and location are important
considerations for this population. The elderly often require ramps,
handrails, and lower cupboards and counters to allow greater access and
mobility They also may desire special security devices for their homes to
allow greater self - protection. To compensate for limited mobility, their
housing should be located within easy walking distance of the services
that meet their needs, such as medical or shopping facilities, or should be
served by public transit.
The special needs of the elderly can be summarized in the following:
• Income — The elderly population typically lives on fixed incomes;
• Household Composition — Elderly women often live alone;
• Transportation — The elderly population is more likely to utilize
public transportation; and,
• Health Care — The elderly have a greater need for health care.
The median age in the SCAG region was 32.3 in 2000, and is projected to
increase to 36.1 by 2030 Over the next 25 years, SCAG is projecting a
growth in the 65 and °other age group. Approximately one in six people in
the region is expected to be a senior citizen compared to one in ten in
2004'
As shown in Table 3 -4, 1,154 elderly householders reside in Lynwood,
which is 8.0% of the total households. Of the 1,154 senior households,
320 were renters (4.2 %) and 834 were owners (12.3 %). Further, 1 0%
(147) households of the householders over the age of 65 were under the
poverty level in 1999

Another factor to consider in the elderly population is the percent of
elderly women living alone. According to 2000 U.S. Census data 5.9% of
Lynwood's 15- to 64- year -olds and 5.8% of elderly men live alone, while
17 1 % of elderly women live alone.
Table 3 -5 shows the extent of disabilities experienced by the elderly
population, which may limit their ability to live independently An individual
with a "going outside the home disability" has a condition lasting 6 months
or more that makes it difficult to go outside the home alone to shop or visit
a doctor's office. An individual with a "self -care disability" has a condition
lasting 6 months or more that makes it difficult to dress, bathe, or get
around inside the home. According to 2000 U S. Census data,
approximately a quarter (25.9 %) of the elderly population in Lynwood has
at least one of these types of disability Among elderly women, 30.6% are
reported to have at least one of these types of disability
Elderly men and women experience a "going outside the home" disability
at similar rates: 11.8% and 11.3 %, respectively Self -care disabilities
occur in elderly women at a rate of 19.3% and in elderly men at a rate of
6.3 %. In both groups, self -care disabilities are accompanied by at least
one other kind of disability

2. Large Families
Large households —those with five or more persons in a housing unit —
constitute 47 6% of all households in Lynwood. As shown in Table 3 -6, a
there are a total of 3,739 large owner- occupied households and 3,115
large renter - occupied households. Census data also shows that 99.8% of
large households are family households, containing at least two people
related by birth, marriage, or adoption.

These large households tend to reside in housing structures with only one
unit, which may be attached or separate. Census data shows that 75% of
households with five or more people reside in single -unit housing
structures. In particular, 97% of large owner - occupied households live in
single -unit housing structures or mobile homes. Among renters, 49% of
large households reside in single -unit housing structures or mobile
homes, while 51 % are found in structures with two or more housing units.
3. Female- Headed Households
Female- headed households are included as a special needs group
because they typically experience low rates of homeownership and low
incomes. Table 3 -7 shows the number and percentage of female- headed
households in Lynwood that are living below poverty level. According to
Table 3 -7, 46.7% of households headed by females living with children
who are related to them have incomes below the poverty level and 39.9%
of the total female- headed households live below the poverty level. By
comparison, 24.0% of households headed by males with no wife present
live below the poverty level, and 14 7% of households with a married -
couple family live below the poverty level.

4. Disabled Persons
As with the elderly population, the mobility limitations of disabled persons
create a demand for housing in certain locations and constructed in
certain ways.
Physically disabled persons often require specially designed dwellings to
permit access both into and within the unit. California Administrative Code
Title 24 sets forth access and adaptability requirements for the physically
handicapped. These regulations apply to public buildings (e.g., offices,
stores, and motels); employee housing; factory built housing and privately

funded, newly constructed apartment houses containing five or more
dwelling units. The regulations also require that items such as ramps,
doorways, and restrooms be designed to enable free access to the
handicapped. Such standards are not required in new single - family
residential construction.
The disabled also have special needs with regard to location. There is
typically a desire to be located near public facilities, and especially near
public transportation facilities that provide service to the disabled.

5. Homeless Population
The Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) includes all of Los Angeles
County except the cities of Glendale, Long Beach, and Pasadena.
According to the 2005 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, it is
estimated that there are 82,291 homeless persons in Los Angeles
Continuum of Care at a given point in time and approximately 221,363
persons per year Of the 82,291 approximately 88% were unsheltered
and 12% were living in either emergency shelter or transitional housing
programs at the time of the survey
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines chronic
homelessness as an unaccompanied individual with a disabling condition
who has been continually homeless for one year or more; or has
experienced four or more episodes of homelessness within the past three
years. It is estimated that on any given night Los Angeles CoC has a
chronically homeless population of approximately 34,512 persons.

years. It is estimated that on any given night Los Angeles CoC has a
chronically homeless population of approximately 34,512 persons.
Page 3 -9
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
Within the South subarea, which includes the cities of Lynwood,
Compton, and Paramount, and parts of the City of Los Angeles and
surrounding unincorporated areas, it is estimated that there are 6,860
homeless on one night and 14,886 homeless per year It is believed 90
persons are in need of shelter in Lynwood on a nightly basis.
6. Farm Workers
Farm workers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary income
is from seasonal agricultural work. Ranching and farming once played a
major role in Lynwood's economy, but according to the 2000 Census no
more than 0.2% of the City residents are now employed in farming
occupations.
C. SUMMARY
This section provides a summary of existing and future housing needs.
The major findings of this section are:
• Overpayment: The population with the highest percentage of
overpayment is the population of renter households in the very-
low income category In this category, 76.8% households are
overpaying for housing. Among very-low income households that
own their housing, 55.4% experience overpayment. Overall
approximately 69.2% of all Very-Low Income households report
overpayment problems.
• Overcrowding: In every income category, renter households
experience higher rates of overcrowding than owner households.
Overall, 51 7% of renter households experience overcrowding,
and 37 6% of owner households.
• Large Households: Large households —those with five or more
persons in a housing unit — constitute 47.6% of all households in
Lynwood.
• Female- headed Households: According to U S. Census data,
46 7% of households headed by females living with children who
are related to them have incomes below the poverty level and
39.9% of the total female- headed households live below the
poverty level. By comparison, 24 0% of households headed by
males with no wife present live below the poverty level, and 14 7%
of households with a married - couple family live below the poverty
level.
• Owner Occupied Female- headed Households: Approximately
30 8% of female- headed households are owner - occupied.
Furthermore, female heads of households living with their own
children have a homeownership rate of only 19.6 %. In

CHAPTER 4
RESOURCES AND CONSTRAINTS
This section provides analysis of the following resources and constraints:
• Analysis of existing and potential sites for housing of all types in
the jurisdiction (including the availability of infrastructure);
• An inventory of land suitable for residential development, including
vacant sites and sites having potential for redevelopment, and an
analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and
services to these sites;
• Analysis of potential and actual non - governmental constraints
upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing
for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the
price of land, and cost of construction; and
• Analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the
maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all
income levels, including land use controls, building codes, and
their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions
required for developers, and local processing and permit
procedures.
A. - MARKET CONSTRAINTS
1. Construction and Land Costs
Land costs and construction cost have the most demonstrable effect on
the development and feasibility of housing. As cost for materials have
increased and the limited availability of raw vacant land has minimized,
the price of land and costs of construction have increased.
Page 4 -1
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
Development costs are general, as there are many variables (i.e.,
location, access to services, school quality, etc.) that influence the costs
of development. Generally, Development costs for single - family
development range from $100 to $125 per square foot, $150 to $180 for
townhomes and condominiums, and $200 per square foot for garden -
style apartments. Stacked flats, typically found in mixed -use
development with structured parking are approximately $250 per square
foot.
Land costs are also relative, and can range from $25,000 per multi - family
unit to $150,000 per single- family unit, with the price increasing as the
density increases.
B. GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Local housing elements, pursuant to the Government Code, must analyze
potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance,
improvement, or development of housing for all income levels. The
categories of constraints required in the analysis are as follows:
Land Use Controls;
Building Codes and Enforcements;
Site Improvements;
Fees and Other Exactions;
Local Processing and Permit Procedures;
Availability of Public Financing; and
State law does not imply that the above factors are actually constraints in
all cities. Article 10.6, however, requires a descriptive analysis of these
factors to determine if any of them act as constraints to the maintenance,
improvement, or development of housing in a local community
All of the items listed above concern local regulatory factors. Besides
these factors, there are some aspects of State and Federal programs,
which do constrain the actions which can be feasibly implemented by
local governments. Consequently, potential or actual governmental
constraints include not only local, but also State of California and Federal
governmental constraints, including Article 34 of the California
Constitution, which requires a public referendum on some affordable
housing developments. Chapters 208 and 218 of the Statutes of 1991
created additional exemptions to Article 34 for Low Rent Housing
Projects.
Page 4 -2
CITY OF LYNWOOD
A
Vacant Land
The City's vacant land supply is very limited. The City currently as a
limited number of vacant residential and commercially zoned parcels,
primarily located within the City's commercial corridors. Although there is
a limited availability of vacant sites, developer interest has been
significant for development of these sites.
An analysis of residential development potential of vacant land is
provided in Appendix A of this Housing Element.
2. Underutilized Land
There are parcels within the City that are currently built out at lower
densities than permitted by zoning. Recent developer interest and trends
in land costs and new residential development concepts has indicated
that reuse and redevelopment of underperforming residential and non-
residential land will continue to positively influence the availability of
future residential units. Future development will require the consolidation
of existing parcels and updated zoning regulations to develop single
family and multi - family housing. The Redevelopment Agency has been
undertaking the development of residential projects on land that was
previously designated for commercial development.
3. Environmental Constraints
Environmental hazards affecting the development of housing units include
seismic, flooding, high wind, and noise conditions. Residential land uses
are considered the most sensitive to loud noise. Federal regulations
require that the impact of these and other constraints be submitted to
HUD for a release of funds.
4. Availability of Sites
An analysis of the General Plan maximum holding capacity based on land
use densities (Table 4 -1) indicates that a maximum of 18,247 units could
be constructed in the City As the majority of sites will require the use and
intensification of existing sites, a thorough analysis of potential sites are
provided in Appendix A of this Housing Element.

5. Site Improvements
Prior to the issuance of any permit, project applicants in Lynwood are
required to install streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, sewers, water lines,
street lighting, and trees in the public right -of -way within and adjacent to
the development. These facilities are then dedicated to the City, which is
responsible for maintenance. Based on recent development projects, the
requirement for the construction of these off -site improvements have not
been shown to be a constraint to development.
The City of Lynwood provides regular analysis and programming of
infrastructure needs through the annual Capital Improvement Program
(CIP), which provides capital improvements for needed infrastructure
improvements on a citywide basis. Sources of funds for capital projects
include Federal, State, local, recreation, water and electric utility sources.
Federal sources may include Community Development Block Grants
(approximately $2,000,000 /year) and a variety of Federally- subsidized
grant programs. State funds may include, but are not limited to, Arterial
Highway Funds, SB 821 Grants, State Gas Tax, State Demonstration
Projects, and State Park Bonds. Local funds may include, but are not
limited to, the General Fund, sale of land, park development fees,
Redevelopment Agency revenues and other local funds. Water and
electrical utility funds may include construction bonds and Rule 21 Funds.
Although more costly than above - ground lines, provision of these funding
sources will mitigate, to the extent feasible, site improvement constraints
to future development in this area of the City
6. Building Codes and Enforcement
Lynwood has adopted the Los Angeles County Building Code, which is
almost identical to the Uniform Building Code. The Los Angeles County
Building Code does not impose any housing standards greater than those
contained in the 1999 Uniform Building Code. Building Code standards
are based on minimum requirements for health and safety of residential
occupants. Therefore, revisions of industry- accepted standards for health
Page 4 -4
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
and safety to reduce construction costs are not a policy of the City of
Lynwood.
7. Fees and Exactions
Various fees are charged by the City of Lynwood, the County Sanitation
Districts of Los Angeles County, and the Lynwood School District, for the
provision of services such as environmental review, permit processing
and delivery of sanitation services and water The Sanitation Districts'
connection fees are based on the type of land use and size, and range
from $1,041 per multi - family dwelling unit to $1,735 per single family
home. The City and County fees for permit review and processing are
indicated on Table 4 -2. These fees are fairly uniform and comparable to
adjacent communities. They are not, therefore, considered to be a
development constraint.

8. Local Processing and Permit Procedures
The City of Lynwood processes Planning and Building applications in
accordance with State Law and within the time frames specified by
existing laws and are not considered a constraint to development. Multi-
family development (excluding condominiums) is subject to ministerial
approval, which requires only a building permit. The City Planning staff
conducts design review, and forwards the proposal to the Planning
Commission for their review and recommendation for approval by the City
Council. Planning Commission meetings are once per month. If a
proposal does not include an addition to the floor area, the plan can be
Paqe 4 -5

HOUSING ELEMENT
approved by the Development Services Department. Typically, plot plan
review requires 1 -2 weeks, and the building department plan check
requires 2 -3 weeks.
9. Land Use Controls
Residential development standards play a role in the feasibility of
housing. The City of Lynwood Zoning Code provides development
standards for all types of residential development. The City does not
perceive that any of these standards limit the provision of housing within
the city The codes requirements typically address health, safety, and
community welfare considerations. Table 4 -3 provides a summary of
development standards for residential uses.

Discretionary review often plays a role in the feasibility of development.
When Conditional Use Permits are required for residential uses, certain
risk factors are introduced to the development community To address
this issue, the City has developed a Site Plan Review process to
substantially limit the need for conditional permits in residential
development. Table 4 -4 provides a summary of permit requirements by
residential land use district.

a. Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan
In 2006, the City of Lynwood adopted the Long Beach Boulevard Specific
Plan. The Specific Plan encompasses approximately 139 acres adjacent
to Long Beach Boulevard, a primary north /south corridor The Specific
Plan seeks to revitalize the corridor through flexible land use regulations
that encourage mixed use and housing development. The Specific Plan
allows for residential development up to 30 dwelling units per acre in all
land use districts of the Specific Plan. Table 4 -5 provides a summary of
residential land use capacity within the Specific Plan area.

b. Parking Standards
Parking Standards for the City of Lynwood, as contained in the Municipal
Code, provide standards traditionally used by municipalities. The City
does not view the standards prescribed in the Municipal Code as a
constraint to the development of housing. Table 4 -6 provides a summary
of required parking by type of residential use.

C. HOUSING RESOURCES
Vacant and Underutilized Land
There is very little vacant land remaining in the City of Lynwood zoned for
residential use. New construction over the last decade in the City of
Lynwood has effectively exhausted the majority of vacant and
underutilized land. Therefore, future development of housing will occur on
reutilized sites, second unit development, infill and residential
development on sites previously non - residential. An evaluation of vacant
sites, pursuant to AB 3248 is provided in Appendix A of this Housing
Element.
2. New Housing Supply
The City of Lynwood has seen a number of infill residential development
occur within existing established neighborhoods. Since the beginning of
the Housing Element planning period, approximately 595 residential units
have been constructed in the City The majority of these developments
consist of modest single- family residential developments and second
units. A summary of all recently approved residential projects is provided
in Appendix B of this Housing Element.
Page 4 -8
CITY of LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
Due to the acquisitions necessary for the development of the 1 -105
Freeway, traversing through the middle portion of the City, a number of
remnant parcels have provided residential development opportunities on
parcels averaging less than 5,000 square feet. Most of these surplus
parcels have been developed or are in the process of being developed.
Through the establishment of the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan,
Redevelopment Agency sponsored projects and various requests for
rezoning by private developers, a significant amount of residential
development opportunities have arisen. Recent trends toward mixed use
development and more modest size residential units have provided a
significant level of interest in higher- intensity residential uses. Examples
of recent projects approved or proceeding through the entitlement
process are shown in Table 4 -7
Table 4 -7
Recent Development Proiects
Fernwood Estates
The Redevelopment Agency has approved the
development of 43 single - family units on agency -
owned property located adjacent the 1 -105 Freeway
The units will be multi -story and will be offered in both
three and four bedrooms options. Seven (7) of the
units will be targeted for families of low and moderate
income (80% if County median income) and the
remaining units will be sold at market rate (120% of
County Median Income).
Triangle Project
An 11 -acre site targeted for up to 120 single - family
detached units within a gated setting, the design and
layout for this project is in the preliminary stages and
will incorporate open space within the project. The
project will consist of two -story dwellings and will be
available in three and four bedroom options. Each
unit will have a two -car garage with ample
landscaping. The density factor in this development
will remain low at approximately nine to ten units to
the acre.
Whispering Glenn
A single - family housing development of 39 units. This
will be a gated community and will have recreational
space provided within the project. The units will be
available in three and four bedroom options and
range in size from 1,700 to 1,800 square feet.
SELAC Senior Housing
The SELAC project is located at 11300 Atlantic
Avenue. Previously this location was an abandoned
motel which was purchased by the City and turned
over to the Developer for rehabilitation and
constructionof Senior Housing under a Disposition
and Development Agreement. Agency Members
voted in January to sell the property to JB
Construction to complete the work. Currently the
Redevelopment Agency is assuming the cost of the
mort age, utilities and security services.

two (2) city blocks totaling 105,530 sq ft. (2.42 acres)
comprised of fifteen (15) parcels. The property is
located on the southeast side of Imperial Highway
between Atlantic Avenue and Duncan Avenue. (See
attached parcel map). The proposed multi -level
development concept would construct approximately
11,650 sq ft. of retail /commercial; 30,000 sq ft. of
office space; a 4,500 sq ft. Sports bar/ restaurant, a
3,000 sq ft, banquet hall; and 78,000 sq ft. of housing

I - Regulatory Resources
a. Second Dwelling Units
The City of Lynwood permits the development of second units on single -
family lots, subject to Site Plan Review Site Plan Review is intended to
provide assurance that the second unit is compatible in design with the
primary dwelling unit on the site, and is considered an "over the counter"
approval. Second units have a maximum square footage of 1,200 square
feet and are permitted on lots with minimum area of 6,220 square feet.
b. Transitional Housing and Emergency Shelters
Pursuant to Chapter 25 of the Lynwood Municipal Code,
homeless /transitional shelters may be considered for location in the Multi-
family Residential (R -3) Zone and the Manufacturing (M) Zone subject to
a Conditional Use Permit. The purpose of the Conditional Permit review is
to determine that the characteristics of these uses are not incompatible
with the type of uses located in surrounding areas. The City of Lynwood
believes this general requirement does not have a demonstrable negative
impact on the development or cost of providing facilities. To demonstrate
this, the following findings must be made to grant a Conditional Use
Permit for homeless and transitional facilities:
• The proposed conditional use is consistent with the General Plan,
• The nature, condition, and development of adjacent uses;
• Buildings, and structures have been considered, and that the use
will not adversely affect or be materially detrimental to these
adjacent uses, buildings, or structures;
• The site for the proposed conditional use is of adequate size and
shape to accommodate the use and buildings proposed;
• The proposed conditional use complies with all applicable
development standards of the zoning district; and
• The proposed conditional use observes the spirit and intent of the
zoning code.
Page 4 -11
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
C. Residential Density Bonus
On March 5, 2005, the City of Lynwood adopted a Residential Density
Bonus Ordinance intended to provide incentives for the production of
housing for very low, lower income, and senior households in accordance
with sections 65915 and 65917 of the California Government Code.
The City may grant a density bonus a minimum of 25 percent, or a
density bonus with additional incentives to an applicant or developer of a
housing development, who agrees to provide the following:
• At least twenty percent of the total units of the housing
development as target units affordable to lower income
households; or
At least ten percent of the total units of the housing development
as target units affordable to very low income households; or
• Senior citizen housing.
In addition, the City can provide a density bonus with additional incentives
for qualified housing development, upon the written request of a
developer, unless the city determines that the additional incentives are
not necessary to make the housing development economically feasible
and to accommodate a density bonus.
The need for incentives will vary for different housing development.
Therefore, the allocation of additional incentives shall be determined on a
case by case basis and may include, but are not limited to, any of the
following:
A reduction of site development standards or a modification of
zoning code or architectural design requirements which exceed
the minimum building standards of the California Health and
Safety Code. These may include, but are not limited to the
following:
o Reduced minimum lot sizes and/ or dimensions
o Reduced minimum lot setbacks
o Reduced minimum outdoor and/ or private outdoor living
area
o Increased maximum lot coverage
o Increased maximum building height and /or stories
o Reduced on -site parking standards, including the number
or size of spaces and garage requirements
o Reduced minimum building separation requirements
o Reduced street standards (i.e. minimum street widths)
o Other additional incentives
Page 4 -12
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
• Allow the housing development to include nonresidential uses
and /or -allow the housing development within a nonresidential
zone
• Other regulatory incentives or concession proposed by the
developer or the city which result in identifiable cost reductions or
avoidance
• A density bonus of more than twenty -five percent
• Waived, reduced, or deferred planning, plan check, construction
permit, and/ or development impact fees (i.e capital facilities, park,
or traffic fees)
• Direct financial aid (i.e. redevelopment set - aside, community
development block grant funding) in the form of a loan or a grant
to subsidize or provide low interest financing for an on or off site
improvement, land or construction costs. The city may also offer
an equivalent financial incentive in lieu of granting a density bonus
and additional incentives.
d. Inclusionary Zoning Regulations
The purpose of the Inclusionary Zoning Regulations is to enhance the
public welfare and assure that further housing development contributes to
the attainment of the city's housing goals by increasing the production of
residential units affordable by households of very-low, low, and moderate
income.
The regulation, adopted in March of 2005, requires all new residential
development projects within Redevelopment Project Area A of seven or
more units to construct fifteen percent of the total number of dwelling
units within the development as affordable units. Units must be made
available to Moderate, Low and Very Low income households based on
prescribed standards provided in Article 24 of the Municipal Code.
4. Financial Resources
The City of Lynwood, like all other cities, is limited in its ability to provide
housing programs based upon the availability of funding from outside
sources. Interest rates are determined by national policies and economic
conditions. Much has been done on the national level to increase the

C. City of Lynwood Consolidated Plan
The City of Lynwood administers its Consolidated Plan, Strategic Plan,
and Annual Action Plan. The Consolidated Plan describes the City's
plans for the use and distribution and federal funds under HUD's formula
grant programs. The Consolidated Plan 2006 -2010 entitlements are
estimated at $5,571,180. Of these funds, a percentage of funding is
allocated to housing related activities including Section 108 Loan
repayments, code enforcement, fair housing, program administration,
Page 4 -15
CITY oi- LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
CHDO set - aside, rehab, acquisition and first time homebuyer assistance.
The Consolidate Plan provides the City's primary financial assistance for
housing programs
d. County of Los Angeles Consolidated Plan
The County addresses regional needs by conducting activities to meet
the County's Consolidated Plan goals of providing housing production
and acquisition, housing preservation and improvement, housing
assistance, removal of constraints, economic development, public
services, homeless activities, improvements to public works and
neighborhood facilities, and assisting people with special needs. A variety
of strategies and programs to address these goals are discussed in the
County Housing and Community Development Plan (HCDP) These
strategies are summarized as follows:
e. County Housing Production and Acquisition
Within the goal of housing and production and acquisition, our strategies
include:
• Expanding the available supply of affordable rental housing;
• Strengthening relationships with the non - profit housing
department sector to increase the supply of affordable
housing;
• Increasing home ownership opportunities;
• Expanding the supply of affordable housing through
neighborhood revitalization efforts;
• Expanding the available supply of housing for the homeless
and those persons with identified special needs.
f. County Housing Preservation and Improvement
The strategies for housing preservation and improvement include:
• Preserving existing housing units by rehabilitating older,
substandard housing that is affordable to lower- income
housing;
• Rehabilitating existing rental structures to continue their use in
the provision of affordable housing;
Ensuring continued affordability of publicly assisted, "at- risk"
lower- income housing; and,
Page 4 -16
CH Y OF Lm WOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
Preventing neighborhood deterioration through the linkage of
code compliance and rehabilitation.
g. County Housing Assistance
Strategies included under housing assistance are:
• Utilizing rent subsidy programs;
• Providing a continuum of assistance from the prevention of
homelessness to a transition into home ownership;
• Providing coordination of special needs assistance; and,
• Providing emergency housing and financial assistance for
groups with special needs.
h. County Programs to Minimize Barriers to Affordable Housing
The County plans to minimize barriers to affordable housing by utilizing
the following strategies:
• Developing procedures that do not unduly constrain, but rather
encourage, the development of affordable housing;
• Encouraging the production of a housing supply that ranges
broadly enough in price and rent to enable all households to
gain housing, regardless of income;
• Securing adequate affordable housing and ensuring that
housing is accessible to all persons, whether discrimination is
overt or the subtle product of government regulation;
• Identifying a number of action areas that will be investigated,
provided adequate funding is available in light of the County's
fiscal crisis;
• Proposing a number of actions to promote affordable housing
and provide equal access.
I. County Homeless Activities /Supportive Services
Certain segments of the population such as the homeless, the "at- risk" of
becoming homeless population, elderly, large families, female- headed
households, and the disabled have specific needs which must be
addressed through the provision of supportive services. The County
addresses these needs through a variety of programs listed in the HCDP
j. County Social /Public Services
Page 4 -17
:Iry OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
Populations with special needs, such as the elderly, large families,
female- headed households and the disabled also require supportive
services. County departments network with a variety of non - profit
organizations (including housing providers), participating cities, and
private consultants to provide a wide variety of social /public services
including: child -care, youth programs, senior citizen services, veterans
services, programs for the disabled, battered spouses and children,
chronically mentally disabled, drug addicts, alcoholics, runaway teens,
and persons living with HIV /AIDS.
The identification of priority needs serves to provide direction in focusing
goals, objectives, and strategies into actual programs and projects.
k. County Priority Housing Development Needs
The CDC's Housing Development's homebuyer and other grant programs
have attempted to achieve an equitable distribution of program resources
throughout the county One of the top priorities in meeting the housing
needs of the county's low- and moderate - income residents is to expand
the supply of housing through new construction and the acquisition of
land for new construction.
Geographic location frequently determines focus of activities. Some
housing activities, such as a referral service for persons living with
HIV /AIDS, would need to be conducted on a county -wide basis, while a
site for permanent service - enhanced housing for this client group would
be located in the area of greatest need.
I. County Priority Housing Preservation Needs
The overlying priority for housing preservation programs is to provide
most of the available resources to the low- and moderate - income
residents in designated areas throughout the County The highest priority
is to provide funds in the form of low- interest and deferred loans, grants,
and rental rehabilitation loans to the residents of Neighborhood
Improvement Strategy areas located in low- and moderate - income areas.
M. County Priority Homeless Needs
The top priority in utilizing resources to meet homeless needs is to
develop a "continuum of care" approach, which attempts to solve
homelessness by addressing the various causes of homelessness: lack
of support services and affordable housing and insufficient income. The
County's continuum of care strategy includes the vital components of
homeless prevention, outreach assessment, emergency shelter,
transitional housing, permanent housing and supportive housing. Several
funding sources including Homeless Initiative and Emergency Shelter
Grant funds have been targeted for the development of each of these
components.
n. County Public Housing Improvement Efforts
Page 4 -18
G11T OF I_YNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
High quality public housing is the result of effective management and
enduring maintenance efforts. The County of Los Angeles endeavors to
maintain the high quality of its public housing stock through a
management strategy that emphasizes staff development, goal setting in
accordance with established objectives, audit responsiveness, and
increased efficiency through automation.
Efforts to improve the management and operation of public housing
include ongoing staff training and education at HUD and housing industry
seminars. Staff is also provided with reading materials to keep current on
trends and new information in the public housing field. Management of
public housing in the County is enhanced through goal setting that
adheres to overall objectives that encourage:
Self- sufficiency for residents through programs that encourage
independent living;
• Development of a work environment that fosters creativity,
productivity, and maximization of employee potential through
employee training, development and promotional
opportunities; and,
• Participatory management built upon a positive regard for
people and respect for the contribution of each employee.
In an effort to improve overall operational efficiency, the CDC has recently
automated its public housing operation which allows the decentralization
of all financial processing, the tracking of annual reexaminations and
inspections, and the. Public Housing and Management Assessment
Program (PHMAP) reports. The system allows interface with a tenant
accounting system and also permits tracking of unit inventory,
inspections, and work orders. The system also provides information on
the demographics of the resident population, including age, ethnicity, and
income. The near -term goal is to ensure that the new automation system
is utilized to its fullest capacity in the operation of the County's public
housing.
o. County Lead -Based Paint Strategies
The County has a two - tiered approach to the evaluation and elimination
of lead -based paint hazards where the problem has been determined to
be most prevalent. Grant funding for the expansion of the County's lead
hazard evaluation program and establishment of a lead hazard reduction
program has been provided by the National Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC and P) and HUD's Office of Lead -Based Paint
Abatement respectively The lead hazard reduction program, known as
the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP), involves
outreach, screening, case management, and public education in seven
target areas. The lead hazard reduction program involves environmental
testing, lead hazard education, blood -lead testing for children, hazard
reduction grants, and follow -up monitoring and testing, also in seven
target areas.
Page 4 -19
CITY OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
In addition to the lead -based paint outreach, assessment and abatement
activities that are currently taking place in existing housing programs, the
County also conducts housing inspections to determine if various types of
housing are safe, sanitary and fit for habitation. Hotels, motels and other
non - medical housing are inspected on a regular basis to ensure that it
complies with health and safety standards. Emergency shelter housing is
also subject to health and safety inspections before participation is
allowed in the County's voucher program. Routine health and safety
inspections take place in over 60,000 multiple family dwellings to ensure
that units are maintained per health department requirements.
P. County One -Year Action Plan
The one -year Action Plan describes the specific activities that will be
undertaken during the County's planning period to address the needs and
local objectives stated in the Consolidated Plan. Specific projects that will
be implemented include those to foster and maintain affordable housing,
to improve public housing and expand resident initiatives, remove barriers
to affordable housing, evaluate and reduce lead -based hazards, reduce
the number of households below the poverty line, enhance coordination
between public and private housing and social service agencies, and
provide assistance to prevent homelessness and address the needs of
the homeless through a continuum of care that provides not only
emergency assistance but also a means of transitioning to permanent
housing and self- sufficiency
Projects that will be funded with CDBG, ESG and HOME funds are
included as a component of the one -year Action Plan. The project
information forms contain individual project descriptions, location, census
tract(s), funding amount, and proposed accomplishments. The one -year
Action Plan also describes monitoring standards, certifications, and
specific grant submission requirements for CDBG, ESG and HOME.
In conclusion, the County's Consolidated Plan provides a comprehensive
approach for analysis of housing and community development needs and
establishes a mechanism for prioritizing needs and allocating resources
based on those needs. The scope of the document has expanded the
need for dialogue among the many entities involved in the various
aspects of housing and community development and allows the County to
develop a partnership approach among government, non - profits, for - profit
organizations, business, and industry to provide assistance to those in
need of affordable housing and a variety of community services.

Encouragement of infill Construction
The City will continue to aggressively pursue infill development
within feasible development sites (specifically remaining sites
within the Caltrans right -of -way) for homeownership and rental
units. This process would encourage the development of infill
residential development through proactive and coordinated efforts
with the redevelopment agency, development services, Caltrans,
and private development entities to provide development guidance
and assistance to encourage the construction of residential
development affordable to very low -, low- and moderate - income
levels through a variety of land use tools (i.e, streamlined review,
reduced development standards, land assemblage, lot
consolidation, fee assistance and other methods deemed
appropriate).

APPENDIX A
ADEQUATE SITES ANALYSIS
This section evaluates the potential opportunities for various types of
residential development for all income levels. The analysis primarily
looks at development that could occur based upon the Lynwood General
Plan and Zoning Ordinance
More specifically, this section provides an inventory of available vacant
and underutilized land for residential development to accommodate the
City's fair share of RHNA.
State Housing Element Law mandates that a jurisdiction must show that it
has adequate sites that will be made available through appropriate zoning
and development standards and with the required public services and
facilities for a variety of housing types and incomes. This evaluation of
adequate sites represents a planning goal and not a goal for the actual
production of housing within the five -year period. The City must
demonstrate that it has the capacity, or adequate sites, to accommodate
the projected need for housing. The projected need for housing used for
this evaluation is defined as the City's share of the region's housing
needs for 1998 -2005.
A. REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
State Housing Element Law requires that each jurisdiction, in preparing
its Housing Element, develop local housing programs designed to meet
its share of existing and future regional housing needs for all income
groups. This requirement ensures that each jurisdiction accepts
responsibility for the housing needs of its current and anticipated future
residents, particularly lower- income households, and plans for a variety of
housing choices.
Appendix A -i
Carr OF LYNWOOD
HOUSING ELEMENT
The State Department of Finance (DOF) is responsible for projecting the
total statewide housing demand, with the State Department of Housing
and Community Development (HCD) apportioning this demand to each of
the state's regions. This demand represents the number of additional
units needed to accommodate the anticipated growth in the number of
households, to replace expected demolitions and conversions of housing
units to non - housing uses, and to achieve a future vacancy rate that
allows for healthy functioning of the housing market.
The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the Council
of Governments (COG) representing the region, in cooperation with the
local jurisdictions, is tasked with the responsibility of allocating the
region's projected new housing demand to each jurisdiction. The
allocation is further divided into four income categories:
• Very -Low Income — 0% to 50% of the median income;
• Low- Income — 51 % to 80% of the median income;
• Moderate- Income — 81 % to 120% of the median income, and,
• Above Moderate Income — more than 120% of the median
income.
This process is known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA), and the goals are referred to as either the RHNA goals or the
"regional share" goals for new housing construction. The allocation takes
into account factors such as market demand for housing, employment
opportunities, the availability of suitable sites and public facilities,
commuting patterns, type and tenure of housing need, and others. In
determining a jurisdiction's share of new housing needs by income
category, the allocation is adjusted to avoid an over - concentration of
lower income households in any one jurisdiction.
A Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) prepared by SCAG in
allocated housing needs for the period beginning January 1, 1998 to June
30, 2005 (a 7 Y2 year period) identifies the City of Lynwood's share of the
region's housing needs as 979 new housing units. To determine the
regional housing needs for the 1998 -2005 planning period, the needs are
adjusted by the actual number of units constructed from January 1, 1998
to the current period, or a total of 595 housing units. Exhibit A -1 provides
a summary of the location of constructed units. Based upon this
adjustment, the regional housing needs for 1998 -2005 is 383 housing
units, with 74% allocated for very low- and low- income households.

2 Includes SELAC project, redwood homes and projects completed from 1998 -2000. SELAC is under
construction.
3 Construction estimates are based on actual project constructed. Units with unknown income
categories are assumed in the Above Moderate category
4. Summary of actual units constructed are provided in Appendix B of this Housing Elem
As required by State Housing Law, the City must plan for its share of the
region's new housing needs in all four income categories by identifying an
adequate supply of land zoned at the appropriate density levels to
accommodate each income category The RHNA goals do not represent
a requirement for actual housing production, but rather seek to ensure the
City has, or plans to add, zoning capacity to accommodate new housing
growth.
To address the City's needs for very low- and low- income housing,
Lynwood must demonstrate that it has an adequate supply of land for
higher density housing (30 or more dwelling units per acre). Although
zoning land for higher density development does not guarantee the
construction of housing that is affordable to low- and moderate - income
families, without such higher density zoning, the opportunity to use
subsidies and implement affordable housing programs for such families
would not exist.
Capacity to Meet Regional Share Goals
To enable the City of Lynwood to meeting RHNA construction goals, the
city must evaluate its capacity to meeting this need with existing
development capacities and credits for construction occurring since 1998.
Lynwood is a built out community, with minimal areas of substantial
vacant land. The majority of vacant land is a result of remnant parcels
from right -of -way acquisitions, and sparsely located residential and
commercial lots.
