CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT 9
1 . INTRODUCTION
The 2006 -2014, 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.
1.1. Purpose and Content
Section 65302(c) of the California Government Code requires every city and county to adopt a Housing Element as a
component to the General Plan. State law requires the Housing Element to include "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."
The Housing Element for the 2014 -2021 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 identified 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 an eight -year 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.
State law recognizes that housing needs may exceed available resources and, therefore, does nut 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 eight
years in order to remain relevant and useful to decision- makers, the private sector, and the residents of the City.

CTION
1.2. New State Legislation
The Housing Element addresses new State legislation, which mandates that the following reforms be included in the Housing
Element update to facilitate and expedite the construction of affordable housing. This new legislation targets five specific
areas including: housing in flood zones, legacy and disadvantaged communities, developmentally disabled, substantially
rehabilitated units, and synchronization with the Regional Transportation Plan,and Sustainable Communities Strategy.
—> AB 162: Requires the City, upon adoption of the Housing Element, to identify specific flood hazard zones
in the Land Use Element and specific floodwater and groundwater recharge areas in the Conservation
and Safety Elements.
SB 244: Requires the City, upon the adoption of a Housing Element, to update the Land Use Element to
include data and analysis, goals, and implementation measures regarding unincorporated island, fringe,
or legacy communities and their infrastructure needs.
—� SB 812: In addition to the existing special needs groups, the City must include an analysis of the housing
needs for developmentally disabled persons.
AIR 1867: Under certain conditions, the City can now count multi -unit homeownership units that have
been converted to affordable units toward their RHNA allocation.
SB 375 Implications: For jurisdictions that do not submit their adopted 2014 -2021 housing element
update within 120 days of the October 2013 deadline, their housing element updates revert to a four -
year cycle.

INTRODUCTION
1.3. General Plan Consistency
The Housing Element is one of seven required elements of the Lynwood General Plan. The goals, policies, actions and
programs within this element relate directly to, and are consistent with, all other elements. The City's Housing Element
identifies programs and resources required for the preservation. improvement and development of housing to meet the
existing and projected needs of its population. Through the regulation of the amount and variety of open space and
recreation areas, acceptable noise levels in residential areas, and programs to provide for the safety of the residents,
policies contained in General Plan elements directly affect the quality of life for all Lynwood citizens.
The Housing Element is affected by development policies contained in the Land Use Element, which establishes the location,
type, intensity and distribution of land uses throughout the City, and defines the land use build -out potential. In designating
residential development, the Land Use Element places an upper limit on the number and types of housing units constructed
in the City. The acreage designated for a range of commercial and office uses creates employment opportunities for
various income groups. The presence and potential for jobs affects the current and future demand for housing at the
various income levels in the City.
The Circulation Element of the General Plan also affects the implementation of the Housing Element. The Circulation
Element establishes policies for a balanced circulation system in the City. Consequently, the Housing Element must include
policies that take into account the types of infrastructure essential for residential housing units in addition to mitigating the
effects of growth in the City.
The Housing Element has been reviewed for consistency with the City's other General Plan elements, to ensure consistency
with the policies contained in other parts of the General Plan. As portions of the General Plan are amended in the future,
the Housing Element will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained.
1.4. Data Sources
To properly understand housing, a complete review and analysis of the City's population characteristics and housing stock
must be performed. The most current available data has been included as part of this revised Housing Element.
12 CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT
The 2014 -2021 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), formulated by the Southern 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 segments of the
community.
Generally, the 2010 Census and the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey (ACS) Five -year Estimates were the primary
data sources used to update the Element. It is important to note that the data collected and utilized to update the Housing
Element may reflect totals that are not identical. In most respects, the totals are net 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.
1.5. Public Participation
California Government Code requires that local governments make a diligent effort to achieve public participation from all
economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element. In the preparation of the Housing
Element Update, a number of organizations and agencies that provide housing, or housing related services, were contacted. 1
Notices for these workshops and hearings were published in a local newspaper, on the City's website, and prominently E
posted at City Hall and other public facilities. In addition, organizations that represent the interests of lower income and
special needs residents, or are otherwise involved in the development of affordable housing, were consulted during the
preparation of this Housing Element. These organizations include the Las 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 f
developing or preserving affordable housing within the City. Materials created to advertise the Housing Element community
outreach meetings and a full list of stakeholders invited has been included in Appendix B.
The City held one workshop meeting with Planning Commission prior to the submittal of this Housing Element draft to HCD
far informal review. This initial meeting with the Commission took place on March 12, 2013 and was intended to provide
Commissioners and the public with general information regarding the Housing Element (i.e. contents, process and
information on the RHNA). Despite the City's efforts to engage the public, no public comments were made at Planning
Commission meeting regarding the Housing Element. A second workshop with the City Council is scheduled for April 2. 2013
and will be streamlined to focus on the draft Housing Element and next steps for the update process. For both meetings, the i
Housing Element workshop was noticed as discussed above.
On May 22. 2013. the State Department of Housing and Community Development issued confirmation that the Housing
Element was found to be in compliance with State law. The City held another workshop with the Planning Commission on j
duly 9.2013 to review the final draft.

INTRODUCTION
1.6. Organization of the Element
The Housing Element sets forth housing goals and policies for Lynwood to address the City's existing and projected housing
needs. Specific housing programs to implement these goals and policies are identified in Section 2, Housing P lan of the
updated document. The updated Lynwood Housing Element is comprised of the following major components:
I. Preparation of a Housing Plan to address Lynwood's identified housing needs, including housing goals, policies and
programs.
2. An analysis of the City's population, household and employment base, and the characteristics of the housing stock.
3. An updated evaluation of housing need, including the housing needs of very low- income households and the
disabled.
4. An examination of governmental and non - governmental constraints on the production, maintenance, and
affordability of housing.
5. Identification of resources available to encourage and facilitate housing development including the preparation of
an inventory of potential housing sites in the community.
G. An assessment of past housing element accomplishments.

2. HOUSING PLAN
The Housing Plan presented in this section includes goals, policies, and programs focused specifically on housing in the City
of Lynwood. The general goal of the Housing Element is to ensure that all residents have decent, safe, sanitary and
affordable housing regardless of income. In order to achieve this general goal, five specific goals have been established to
guide the development, redevelopment and preservation of a balanced inventory of housing to meet the needs of present
and future residents of the City. Lynwood's housing goals address the following five major areas:
I. Housing and Neighborhood Conservation;
2. Adequate sites to achieve a diversity of housing;
3. Opportunities for affordable housing;
4. Removal of governmental constraints, as necessary; and
5. Promotion of equal housing opportunities.
For each of the five goals identified, specific policies and programs are also summarized within the Housing Plan. Individual
policies and actions included in this element are intended to provide a wide variety of programs and tools to implement the
City's General Plan goals. The housing plan includes programs currently in existence as well as new actions which have
been added to address the City's unmet housing need. Actual programs will be implemented at the discretion of the City in
order to meet established objectives. It should be noted that the listing of a potential funding source of a particular
program and /or action does not signify that money has been allocated or appropriated as a source of funding for such a
program and /or action.

Programs/ Objectives
1.1- Code Enforcement Program
As the housing stock continues to age, the enforcement of existing property maintenance codes is a primary means to
preserve housing and the quality of neighborhoods. The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for enforcing City
ordinances affecting property maintenance, building conditions, and other housing and neighborhood issues. Working with
citizens and inter - department staff to identify and remedy code violations the Code Enforcement Division investigates as
many as 8.000 complaints a year for these types of violations based an reports from residents and violations identified by
City Staff. The Cade Enforcement Division addresses property maintenance, zoning and building violations Citywide through
a combination of public education and enforcement of the Lynwood Municipal Code. Building code violations are referred to
the Planning and Building Divisions, and when necessary, residents are referred to housing staff for rehabilitation
assistance. For the 2014 -2021 planning period the City anticipates that approximately $200,000 in CDBG funds will be
allocated annually for this program.
Objective: Continue to conduct inspections on a complaint basis.
Responsible Agency: Code Enforcement Division
Financing Source: CDBG funds
Time Frame: 2014 -2021
1.2 - Housing Rehabilitation Program
The Housing Rehabilitation Program offers homeowners the opportunity to apply far small grants and loans to complete
improvement projects on their properties. The program provides assistance for low and very low income households,
offering grants up to $10,000 and deferred payment loans up to $65,000 allowing residents to address code violations,
health and safety concerns, and Complete exterior painting. This program also provides funding to residents to complete
exterior and interior home repairs as well as perform architectural modifications to achieve ADA compliance or reasonable
accommodation for residents with disabilities. For the 2014 -2021 planning period the City anticipates that approximately
$3 UDD in HOME funds will be allocated annually for this program to complete approximately 10 projects.
Objective: Address property, structural, and energy /water conservation improvements for low income
homeowners in the City. The City anticipates that ID projects will be assisted annually based on funding
availability.

1.3 - Acquisition and Rehabilitation Program
The City of Lynwood recognizes that one of the most significant barriers to affordable housing is the acquisition of the
property on which to construct affordable housing. To address this, the City will provide an annual allocation of HOME
Program funds to purchase and acquire property that will be rehabilitated according to minimum property standards and
be made available to be purchased by low and moderate households. While the City was able to allocate approximately
$40,000 annually in HOME funds during the previous planning period, the elimination of the City's Redevelopment Agency,
has resulted in the loss of additional funding necessary to support this program. For the 2014 -2021 planning period the City
will investigate new funding opportunities and administer funds as they become available. If and when a permanent funding
source is identified, the City will provide information about the program at City Hall, on the City's website and in other
public places to increase awareness.

1.4 - Monitor and Preserve Affordable Housing
The City will continue to keep an inventory of affordable housing units in compliance with AB 987, and promote, through the
Housing Division, the use of additional affordable housing assistance programs, as appropriate, to preserve existing
affordable units that are at risk of converting to market -rate. When available, the City will utilize resources such as HUD
Section 208 /811 loans, HOPE II and III Homeownership program funds, HOME funds, CDBG funds, low- Income Housing Tax
Credit Programs, California Housing Finance Agency single - family and multi - family programs, programs to stimulate
private developer and non - profit entity efforts in the development and financing of housing for lower and moderate- income
households. To encourage the development of affordable housing development and ensure the continued availability of
affordable housing to Lynwood residents, the City will consider the establishment of covenants, deed restrictions or other
methods when City or other public funds are used to develop affordable housing. In addition, the City will encourage the
private development community to consider long -term affordability restrictions beyond the required 55 and 45 year
requirements. The City will evaluate on a case -by -case basis, the appropriateness of such methods and will advertise the
availability of funding, land, or other incentives to encourage and maintain units with affordability covenants.
Objective: City Staff will maintain a list of affordable units throughout the City including affordability information
to ensure landlords are compliant with deed restrictions and to preserve affordable units. The Housing Division
will continue to pursue partnership opportunities with private developers and non - profits to preserve and expand
affordable housing in the City.

2.5 - Zoning for Emergency Housing
Extremely low- income households and households with special needs have limited housing options. Housing types
appropriate for these groups include: emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and single -room
occupancy (SRO) units. To accommodate this population group the City has amended the Zoning Code so that transitional
and supportive housing, including SRO units, are permitted all residential zones by right without a Conditional Use Permit or
other discretionary action, subject only to those regulations that apply to other residential dwelling units of the same type
in the same zone. The City has also revised the Zoning Code to permit emergency shelters by right without a Conditional
Use Permit or other discretionary action in the Multi - Family Residential (R -3) and the Manufacturing (M) zones and will
ensure that a proposed shelter is subject to only the development standards as permitted by State law. These zones are
appropriate to accommodate emergency shelters as they are typically located along major arterial roadways with access
to employment centers and near stores and other services. The City has little to no vacant land, requiring that a potential
shelter may occur as infill or redevelopment. There are currently 15 vacant sites in the City zoned RI totaling 3.05 acres.
The City will continue to monitor the inventory of sites appropriate to accommodate emergency and transitional housing
and will work with the appropriate organizations to ensure the needs of homeless and extremely low income residents are
met. The City is committed to prioritizing funding and other available incentives for projects that provide housing for
extremely low income residents whenever possible. Additionally, as mentioned in Program 3.1, the City also partners with

The City participates in the federal Section 8 Program operated by the Los Angeles County Community Development
Commission. The Section 8 program provides rent subsidies to low and very low income households who are spending
more than 30 percent of their income on housing. Prospective renters secure housing from HUD- registered apartments
that accept the certificates. HUD then pays the landlords the difference between what the tenant can afford (30 percent of
their income) and the payment standard negotiated fur the community. The City's Housing Division maintains records on the
number of households in Lynwood that participate in the Section 8 program. On average, there are approximately between
200 and 400 households that participate in this program annually. The Housing Division regularly refers and provides
general qualification and program information to interested individuals. While the City is not directly responsible for the
administration of this program, Staff can direct residents to the County website and provide information on the program at

The Fair Housing Foundation (FHF) implements the policies and practices for fair housing in Lynwood and takes action on
any circumstances that affect equal housing opportunities. The City refers all inquiries for these services to the Fair
Housing Foundation and also maintains literature and informational brochures at City Hall that are available for public
distribution. Periodically, the FHF also offers counseling services and workshops in the City, which Staff has historically
publicized. The City will continue to refer inquires to the Fair Housing Foundation for the provision of fair housing
assistance including landlord /tenant counseling, homebuyer assistance, and amelioration or removal of identified
impediments. The City will provide informational materials on fair housing practices at a variety of public locations
throughout the City.
Objective: Continue to assist households through the Fair Housing Foundation, and continue to refer fair housing
complaints to the Fair Housing Foundation.
Responsible Agency: Housing Division
Projected Funding: COBB Funds
Time Frame: 2014 -2021
5.2 - Reasonable Accommodation Program
CITY OF LYN WOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT 37
HOUSING
PLAN
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65583, the City of Lynwood is obligated to remove potential and actual governmental
constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels and for persons with
disabilities. The Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988, requires that cities and counties provide reasonable accommodation
to rules, policies, practices, and procedures where such accommodation may be necessary to afford individuals with
disabilities equal housing opportunities. Reasonable accommodation provides a basis for residents with disabilities to
request flexibility in the application of land use and zoning regulations or, in some instances, even a waiver of certain
restrictions or requirements from the local government to ensure equal access to housing opportunities. Cities and
counties are required to consider requests for accommodations related to housing for people with disabilities and provide
the accommodation when it is determined to be "reasonable" based on fair housing laws and case law interpreting the
statutes. The City of Lynwood encourages and promotes accessible housing for persons with disabilities. This includes the
retrofitting of existing dwelling units and enforcement of the State accessibility standards for new residential construction.
The City is committed to assisting residents in need of reasonable accommodation and offers financial assistance though
the Housing Rehabilitation Program, and will continue to direct eligible residents to apply for funds. Applicants can apply for
grants or a rebate to complete improvement projects that remove constraints to their living facilities. In general. City Staff
takes into consideration the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the review and approval of housing
projects and grants modifications and deviations from the Municipal Code to accommodate the needs of persons with
disabilities. The City anticipates that they will have formal reasonable accommodations prepared by 2014, however in the
instance that formal procedures are not implemented during the 2006 -2014 planning period due to Staff cutbacks, the City
would ensure that they are implemented within one year of Housing Element adoption. Once the reasonable accommodation
procedures are adopted the City will advertise the process and applicable funding sources to make home modifications on
the City website, at City Hall and in other public places.
Objective: Implement reasonable accommodation procedures and actively advertise the procedures as well as
applicable funding sources to complete home modifications on the City's website and in other public places.
Responsible Agency: Housing Division
Financing Sources: General Fund
Time Frame: Adopt Reasonable Accommodation Procedure by 2014. Advertise the procedures throughout
the 2014 -2021 planning period.

3. QUANTIFIED OBJECTIVES
3.1 Affordable Housing Objectives
California Housing Element Law requires jurisdictions to estimate the number of affordable housing opportunities that will
be created over the planning period. The quantified objectives for the 2014 -2021 Housing Element presents the anticipated
and potential affordable housing development for the planning period starting on October 15, 2014 and ending June 30, 2021.
It is important to note that while the goal of the quantified objective section is to show how the City will meet its 2014 -2021
RHNA allocation, and based on the premise that the City intends to make every effort to achieve these goals, Lynwood
cannot guarantee that these needs will be met given limited financial and staff resources, and the increasing gap in
affordability of housing resources and incomes. Satisfaction of the City's regional housing needs will partially depend on
the cooperation of private funding sources and resources of the State, federal and County programs that are used to
support the needs of the extremely low -, very law -, low -, and moderate - income households. Additionally, outside economic
forces heavily influence the housing market. State law recognizes that a locality may not be able to accommodate its
regional fair share housing need.
Table 3 -1 presents the City's quantified objectives in three categories: construction of new affordable units, substantial
rehabilitation of substandard units and the conservation of affordable housing. New construction of affordable units
focuses on the City's ability to accommodate its 2014 -2021 RHNA allocation of 494 units (see Table 6 -4) on land identified in
the sites inventory. It is important to note that this subcategory assumes optimum conditions for the production of housing
and does not take into account haw environmental, physical and market conditions influences the timing, type and cost of
housing production in a community. It also presents the City's efforts to encourage and facilitate the development of
affordable units through zoning and the identification of opportunity sites.
As indicated in Table 4 -32 there are no units with affordability covenants at risk of transitioning to market rate prices
during the planning period consequently the City has not identified units for preservation or conservation. While the City
does not have at -risk units, the Housing Oivision indicates that approximately 10 units will be assisted annually through the

Housing Rehabilitation Program, as outlined in Section 2, HggsingPian. These units have been equally distributed over the
lbw, very -low and moderate income categories.
In total the City anticipates that approximately 270 units will constructed in the upcoming planning period, 200 units
annually will be preserved through rent subsidies (Section 8), 80 units will be rehabilitated or assisted through City
programs and at least 494 units will be facilitated and accommodated through the housing sites inventory as presented in

4. COMMUNITY PROFILE
The housing needs of the City are determined by the demographic characteristics of the population (age, household size,
employment, income levels), the characteristics of its housing (number of units, age of units, tenure, size, cost), and the
nature of community (suburban, industrial, agricultural, resort /tourism, high tech, schools, parks, transportation). The
local housing market is seldom static, and is constantly changing based on dynamic social and economic factors. As City
demographics and household socio- economic conditions change, different housing opportunities arise and /or must be
created to meet demand. This section explores the characteristics of the existing and projected demographics and housing
stock in order to define the extent of unmet housing needs in Lynwood. This information is critical in providing direction to
update the City's Housing Element goals, policies, programs, and actions.
4.1. Population Trends and Characteristics
Incorporated in 1921, the City of Lynwood is a small jurisdiction, encompassing 4.8 square miles, located in southern Los
Angeles County. According to the U.S. Census, the City of Lynwood had a population of 61.945 residents in 1990, and 69,889
residents by the year 2000. In the last decade, the City has generally maintained its size, with the 2010 Census reporting a
population of approximately 69,772 residents. In the last ten years City experienced a slight decrease (0.1 percent) in
population, which may be attributed to its built out nature. Over the last twenty years the City has experienced modest
growth, adding 7,827 residents, an increase of approximately 12.6 percent, from 1990 to 2010. Table 4 -1 indicates
population growth trends for Lynwood and surrounding communities.

In comparison to the surrounding cities (including Bellflower, Bell Gardens, Compton, Downey, Paramount, and South Gate).
Lynwood's growth rate over the past twenty years matched the average growth rate for the region. Surrounding cities
experienced population growth rates ranging from a low of -0.01 percent in Bell Gardens to a high of 23.9 percent in
Bellflower. The County of Los Angeles experienced 10.7 percent growth in the same time period.
4.1.1. Age Composition
Age distribution is an important indicator for determining the future demand for housing types in the City. Traditional
assumptions are that the young adult population (20 to 34 years old) has a propensity for choosing apartments, low to
moderate priced condominiums, and smaller single - family units. The adult population (35 to 65 years old) is the primary
market for moderate to high -end apartments, condominiums, and larger single - family homes. This age group traditionally
has higher incomes and larger household sizes. The senior population (65 years and older) generates demand for low to
moderate cost apartments and condominiums, group quarters, and mobile homes. Table 4 -2 shows the age distribution of
the population of the City of Lynwood in 2010.

As shown in Table 4 -2, residents between the ages of 30 and 54, classified as working adults, make up a significant
percentage of the population (33.7 percent). The second largest group is school aged children, ages 5 WEI, making up
approximately 27.5 percent of the total population in 2010. From 2000 to 2010 the percentage of working adults, retiring
adults and senior citizens all increased indicating an aging population. Generally, the percentage of younger residents,
including preschool aged children, school aged children, and young adults all decreased from 2000 to 2010. Generally. in
2010 the median age in the City was 27.8 years which is significantly lower than the County average of 34.7 years.
4.1.2. Race and Ethnicity
The racial and ethnic composition of a community affects housing needs due to the particular household characteristics of
different groups. Table 4 -3 shows the changes in the racial /ethnic composition of Lynwood residents between 2000 and
2010.

Between 2000 and 2010, there was a continuing shift in the racial /ethnic composition of the population, most significantly a
further increase in the number of Hispanic residents. The 2010 Census indicates that approximately 87 percent of the total
population of the City of Lynwood is of Hispanic decent, an increase of 4.3 percent from 20GO. The second most
predominant group in the City were Black residents, comprising approximately 10 percent of the population, followed by
White residents comprising 2 percent of the population, in 2010. Generally, most racial groups, with the exception of
Hispanic and "Other ", experienced a decline as the Hispanic population has continued to grow.
4.1.3. Employment
Lynwood residents are employed in a diverse number of industries, with the largest percentage (21 percent) of the
population employed in the Manufacturing sector. According to the O.S. Census, this industry was the number one employer
in both 2000 and 2010, despite a slight decline in the total percentage employed in the last ten years. Table 4 -4 presents a
comparison of the number of employees by sector in 2000 and 2010.

In 2000 and 2010, the second most common sector of work was the Educational, health and Services sector, with
approximately 15 percent employed in related jobs in 2010. In 2000, the third highest sector was Retail Trade, and despite a
small decline this industry remains a prominent industry, with 10.2 percent of the City's residents employed in related jobs.
The retail sector is important to consider when assessing housing affordability as salaries tend to be lower, decreasing
housing opportunities and the amount of income available for housing. Furthermore, the retail sector does not offer health
and other employment benefits, further increasing economic strain.
Employment rates are an indicator of economic trends occurring in the City. Table 4 -5 shows unemployment rates as a
percentage of the total labor force in Lynwood based on reported generated by the California State Department of
Economic Development. In general Lynwood's labor force has grown from 2000 -2910, despite an overall decrease in
population for the same timeframe. Unemployment rates increased from 8.2 percent to 11.1 percent between 20DO and
2003, and then declined to 8.2 percent in 2006. With the economic downturn of 2008 the City experienced a spike in
unemployment reaching a peak of 19.7 percent in 2010. In the last few years the unemployment rate has declined slightly to
15.6 percent in 2012, which is still much higher than the overall county average of 9.8 percent.

include all persons living together who are related by blood, marriage or adoption. Single households include persons living
alone in housing units, but do not include persons in group quarters such as convalescent homes, dormitories, or
rehabilitation facilities. Other households are unrelated people living together, such as roommates. The 2007 -2011
American Community Survey estimated the number of households in Lynwood had increased to 15,270. a 5.8 percent
increase over the 2000 Census estimate of 14,432. Of the total number of housing units in the City, 7,341(48 percent) were

Household size is an important indicator of a source of population growth. A City's average household size is also an
indicator of the character and size of households, which represent the most basic unit of demand for housing. Although
there can be more than one household in a housing unit, which is a trend that is increasing regionally, the measure of
persons per household provides not only an indication of the number of persons residing in a household organizing unit, but
the number of persons living in a housing unit.. Average household size can be both a result and indicator of housing
affordability and other household economic conditions.

As shown in Table 4-8, Lynwood experiences a higher than average household size, which indicates that there may be an
increased demand for large units with three or more bedrooms to accommodate larger families. According to the 2007-
2011 American Community Survey data there are approximately 5,622 households with 5 or more persons, representing
approximately 37 percent of all households. To accommodate larger households, the City will prioritize incentives to assist
developers that propose projects with larger units to accommodate the need of large families and households living in the
City.
4.2.2. Overcrowding
The federal government defines an overcrowded household as one with more than one occupant per room, excluding
bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and porches. An overcrowded household results from either a lack of affordable housing
(which forces more than one household to live together) and /or a lack of available housing units of adequate size. A
household is considered to be overcrowded if there are more than 1.01 occupants per room. A household is considered to
be severely overcrowded is there are more than 1.51 occupants per room.

According to the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey, 3,064 households, or 20 percent of all households in Lynwood
were overcrowded. Of this total approximately 1,905 were renter households, representing 62 percent of all overcrowded
households and 24 percent of all renter households. In comparison, the number of owner occupied units that are classified
as overcrowded was 1,159 households; representing 38 percent of all overcrowded households and 16 percent of all owner
occupied units.
As shown in Table 4 -9, the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey also reports that approximately 1,512 households, or
roughly 10 percent of all households in Lynwood, that are considered to he severely overcrowded. Generally, the number of
renter occupied units that were severely overcrowded (13.7 percent) was higher than the number of owner occupied units
considered to be severely overcrowded (5.8 percent).
The incident of severe overcrowding is high in the City. In comparison in the County of Los Angeles approximately 7.1
percent of households were overcrowded and 4.8 percent of households were severely overcrowded. Overcrowding is an
important housing issue for the City to monitor as overcrowded households can lead to neighborhood deterioration due to
the intensive use of individual housing units leading to excessive wear and tear, and the potential cumulative overburdening
of community infrastructure and service capacity. Furthermore, overcrowding in neighborhoods can lead to an overall
decline in social cohesion and environmental quality. Such decline can often spread geographically and impact the quality
of life and the economic value of property and the vitality of commerce within a City.

4.2.3. Household Income and Income Distribution
Assessing income groups is a major component of evaluating housing affordability. According to the 2010 Census, the
median household income in Downey was $ 43,782 per year. The median household income for the County of Los Angeles
was more than $10,000 higher than the City median at $55,476 per year. Among neighboring cities, the median household
income ranged from a low of $39,187 in Bell Gardens to a high of $59.773 in Downey. The median household income for the
City of Lynwood was generally lower than most cities in the surrounding region.
The State Department of Housing and Community Development developed the following income categories based an the
Median Family Income (MFI) of a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) established by the D.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development:
—> -Very Low - Income: 50 percent or less of the area MFI;
—> ' Low - Income: between 51 and 80 percent of the area MFI;
—> Moderate- Income: between 81 and 120 percent of the area MFI;
—+ Upper- Income: greater than 120 percent of the area MFI.
The 2010 MFI for the Los Angeles County MSA ($63,000) was used to interpolate the City's income distribution from the
census according to the above categories. The income distribution of the City of Lynwood, based an 2010 Census data. is

According to the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey, it is estimated that: 13 percent of the households earned less than
$14.999 annually; 26 percent earned between $15,000 and $34,999 annually; 18 percent earned between $35,000 and
$49,999 annually; 22 percent earned between $50,000 and $74399 annually; and 21 percent earned above $75,000
annually. The high number of lower income households indicates that there is a need for affordable units in the City.
Through programs in the Housing Plan the City will prioritize funding and offer incentives to encourage and facilitate the
development of housing units affordable to extremely lower, very low and low income residents.
4.2.4. Housing Overpayment
State and Federal standards indicate that a household paying more than 30 percent of its income for housing is overpaying.
Overpayment for housing can cause an imbalance on the remainder of a household's budget. The 2007 -2011 American
Community Survey, indicates that there were 13,822 total households paying mortgage or rent, of those households 97
percent were overpaying for housing. Of these overpaying households; 4,139 (42 percent) were households with a
mortgage, while the remaining 5,140 households (58 percent) were in renter - occupied units. Table 4 -II summarizes
housing overpayment statistics by tenure for the City of Lynwood and also LA County based on the 2007 -2011 American

A housing unit is defined as a house, apartment, or single room occupied as separate living quarters or, if vacant, intended
for occupancy as separate living quarters. Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live and eat
separately from any other person in the building and which have direct access from the outside of the building or through a
common hall. A community's housing stock is the compilation of all its housing units.
4.3.1. Housing Growth

Table 4 -13 compares the make -up of the City's housing stack in 2000 and 2010 by unit type. The 2007 -2011 ACS indicates
that single - family detached homes continue to be the predominant housing type in the City; with the majority of growth
occurring through the development of detached single family units. As the City is largely built out, most new housing
development is occurring as infill on underutilized parcels. Despite the large number of single family units, the 2010 Census
indicates that the proportion of owner - occupied households in Lynwood was 48.1 percent which is slightly lower than that of
renter - occupied households at 51.9 percent.

manufactured housing under the count of mobile homes.
Vacancy rates are a measure of the general availability of housing. It also indicates how well the types of available units
meet the housing demand market. A law 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. Law 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 percent is considered normal

enough to minimize prices pressure on rents. As shown in Table 4 -13, 6.4 percent of Lynwood's housing units were vacant
at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census. This vacancy rate is above what is considered to be healthy and is higher than the
County's rate of 4.2 percent.
4.3.3. Housing Stock Age and Condition
Table 4 -14 shows the age of the City's housing stock as reported by the 2007 -2011 ACS. 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 is 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 81.4 percent of housing units were built prior to 1970
and 44.6 percent were built prior to 1950. This indicates that a considerable amount of the City's current housing is at an
age that typically requires additional maintenance.

COMMUNITY
PROFILE
The Code Enforcement Oivision is responsible for code enforcement activities in the City. Code Enforcement officers
address property maintenance, zoning and building violations Citywide through a combination of public education and
enforcement of the Lynwood Municipal Cade. Code Enforcement Officers work with citizens and inter - department staff via a
compliant based process to identify and remedy code violations in an efficient and effective manner. Generally complaints
are reported via telephone or email to the Code Enforcement Division, however City Staff can also identify properties that
may be considered in violation of the Code. In the process of handling code enforcement caseloads, the Code Enforcement
Division compiles statistics on the number and type of code complaints in the City. The City generally performed between
7:000 and 8.500 code inspections annually during the previous planning period; well above the expected 5,000 estimate.
Over the course of the planning period the City was able to budget approximately $400,000- 450,000 annually in HOME
funds to finance code ;enforcement activities. Where appropriate, code enforcement officers referred residents to
applicable programs, including the Housing Rehabilitation Program to bring cited residential units into compliance with City
codes.
4.3.4. Housing Costs
Affordability is determined by comparing the cost of housing to the income of local households. HUD defines affordable
housing casts as contract rents or mortgage payments, including taxes and insurance, but not utilities, that are equal to or
less than 30 percent of the grass income of very low -, low -, and moderate - income households.
Households spending more than 30 percent of gross annual income on housing experience a housing cost burden, which
occurs when housing costs increase faster than household income. When a household spends more than 30 percent of its
income on housing costs, it has less disposable income for other necessities such as health care. Lower income households
with a burdensome housing cost are more likely to become homeless or experience overcrowding. Homeowners with a
housing cost burden have the option of selling the homes and becoming renters. Renters, however, are vulnerable and
subject to constant changes in the housing market.
For purposes of determining housing affordability, the California Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5 provides the
following definition of affordable housing cost based on the area median income (AMI), which is adjusted by family size and
income level for each multi - family income (MFI) range.

approximately 37 percent of renter households in the City had 3 or more people living in there with approximately 20
percent with 5 or more people living in the households. Generally there were 2,591 households with five or more individuals
living in one unit. In comparison to Table 4 -20 there are only 228 units with four bedrooms and 101 units with five
bedrooms. The lack of larger units to accommodate large households leads to overcrowded conditions and excess wear
and tear on the housing stock. For owner households, Table 4 -8, reported that there were approximately 3.031 households
with more than 5 people living in one unit. Referring back to Table 4 -20, the 2007 -2011 ACS indicates that there are 158
units with one five bedrooms and L197 units with four bedrooms in the City. While there is clearly a gap in the number of
larger units available for sale there is significant concern regarding the number of large rental units available in City.

It is important to note that Table 4 -23 shows a significant number of households are paying 50 percent or more of their
income toward rent and that the number of households doing so has increased more than 10 percent since 2000. The
median percentage of household income spent on rent payments was 40.2 percent according to the 2007 -2011 ACS. This
means that generally residents are spending 40 percent of their income on rent, which is much higher than the 30 percent
threshold set by HUD. When households are spending a substantial amount of their income on housing and related expenses
it means that there is often little money left to cover other necessary expenses. Generally, this information leads to the
conclusion that residents living in the City are not living in units that are considered to be affordable based on federal
standards.

4.3.4.C. Housing Affordability Analysis
The costs of home ownership and rent can be compared to a household's ability to pay for housing, using the 2012 H00-
established Area Median Family Income (MFI) limit for Los Angeles County of $64,800. Table 4 -24 illustrates maximum
affordable mortgage payments and rents for a four- person household in Los Angeles County. Affordable housing cost is
based on a maximum of 30 percent of gross household income devoted to mortgage or rental costs. These maximum
affordable costs would be adjusted downward for smaller households, or upward for larger households.
Comparison of these maximum affordable housing costs was done taking into consideration recent home sale price data
shown sold in Lynwood, as shown in Table 4 -I0 and Table 4 -19. Based on the home prices reported in November 2012,
extremely low and very low income households or all sizes could not afford to buy a home at the average sale price. Low
and moderate income households, however, could generally afford to buy even units that were appropriate in size, with the
exception of one person households.
Based on the median rent of $980, reported in Table 4 -22, rental units in the City are generally only affordable to
moderate and some low income households. The maximum rent affordable to very low - income households is $658 (for a
four - person household) which is 49 percent less than the median rent in the City in 2011. Some low- income households are
also priced out of the rental market in Lynwood, including two and one person households. Generally, moderate - income
households can afford to buy or rent units within the City. However, they would be limited to one and two - bedroom
apartment units.

State law recognizes that certain households have more difficulty in finding adequate and affordable housing due to special
circumstances. Special needs populations include the elderly, persons with disabilities, female headed households, large
households and farm workers. In addition, many often have lower incomes as a result of their condition. Table 4 -25

4.4.1. Elderly
Many elderly individuals 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:

As shown in Table 4- 26;1,619 elderly householders reside in Lynwood, which is approximately10.6 percent of the City's total
households. This is a slight increase from the 1,154 senior households reported by the 2000 Census. Of the 1,619 senior

4.4.2. Disabled Persons
Physical and mental disabilities can hinder access to traditionally designed housing units as well as potentially limit the
ability to earn adequate income. As shown in Table 4 -27, the 2009 - 2011 American Community Survey Estimates indicates
that 7.6 percent of Lynwood's population has one or more disabilities. Although no current comparisons of disability with
income, household size, or race /ethnicity are available, it is reasonable to assume that a substantial portion of disabled
persons would have annual incomes within Federal Section 8 income limits, especially those households not active in the
labor force. Furthermore, many lower- income disabled persons are likely to require housing assistance. Their housing
needs are further compounded by design issues and location requirements, which can often be costly. For example, special
needs of households with wheelchair -bound or semi - ambulatory individuals may require ramps, holding bars, special
bathroom designs, wider doorways, lower cabinets, elevators, and other interior and exterior design features.
Housing opportunities for individuals with disabilities can be addressed through the provision of affordable, barrier -free
housing. Rehabilitation assistance can be targeted toward disabled renters and homeowners for unit modification to
improve accessibility.

Currently there is no direct source that provides information an the number of housing units in the City equipped to handle
the needs of disabled citizens. The City, therefore, needs to have programs to ensure that all affected households have the
means to be able to provide the necessary improvements on an as- needed basis. Through the Los Angeles County there
are a number of programs qualifying low- income households can apply to, that provide funding to complete improvements
necessary to make their homes more accessible.

4.4.3. Developmentally Disabled Persons
According to Section 4512 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code a "Developmental disability" means a disability
that originates before an individual attains age IS years, continues, or can be expected to continue, indefinitely, and
constitutes a substantial disability for that individual which includes mental retardation, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and
autism. This term shall also include disabling conditions found to be closely related to mental retardation or to require
treatment similar to that required for individuals with mental retardation, but shall not include other handicapping
conditions that are solely physical in nature.
Many developmentally disabled persons can live and work independently within a conventional housing environment. More
severely disabled individuals require a group living environment where supervision is provided. The most severely affected
individuals may require an institutional environment where medical attention and physical therapy are provided. Because
developmental disabilities exist before adulthood, the first issue in supportive housing for the developmentally disabled is
the transition from the person's living situation as a child to an appropriate level of independence as an adult.
The State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community based services to approximately
243,000 persons with developmental disabilities and their families through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four
developmental centers, and two community -based facilities. The South Central Las Angeles Regional Center is one of 21
regional centers in the State of California that provides point of entry to services far people with developmental disabilities.
The center is a private, non - profit community agency that contracts with local businesses to offer a wide range of services
to individuals, with developmental disabilities and their families.
Table 4 -28 provides information from the South Central Los Angeles Regional Center of on the number of developmentally
disabled individuals in the City of Lynwood. In 2013, The Regional Center reported that there were approximately 553
individuals actively utilizing services for a developmental disability.

To assist with any housing needs for persons with developmental disabilities, the City will implement programs to
coordinate housing activities and outreach with the South Central Los Angeles Regional Center and encourage housing
providers to designate a portion of new affordable housing developments for persons with disabilities, especially persons
with developmental disabilities, and pursue funding sources designated for persons with special needs and disabilities.
4.4.4. Large Families
Large households are defined as households with five or more persons living together in one housing unit. According to the
2007 -2011 American Community Survey there are 5,622 households with five or more occupants representing 36.8 percent
of the total households in the City. As shown in Table 4 -29. there are a total of 3,301 large owner - occupied households and
2,591 large renter - occupied households. Census data also shows that 99,8 percent of large households are family
households, containing at least two people related by birth, marriage, or adoption.

Difficulties in securing housing large enough to accommodate all members of a household are heightened for renters,
because multifamily rental units are typically smaller than single - family units. Apartment complexes in the City offering
three- and four - bedroom models are few. Large families in Lynwood, therefore, may satisfy their housing needs mostly
through the rental and ownership of single- family units, for which there appears to be sufficient stock. However, as shown
70 CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT
COMMUNITY
PROFILE
in Section 4.3.4, Housing Costs the larger single- family rental stock is generally not affordable to the majority of lower
income households.
4.4.5. Female- Headed Households
Female- headed households are included as a special needs group because there often is a conflict between the economic
needs of the home and the daycare needs of the family. Historically, females in this situation earn less income than the rest
of the population, restricting their ability to provide for bath housing and daycare. According to the 2007 -2011 ACS, there
were 3.266 female- headed households in the City; 1,99( (61 percent) of which had children under 18 years old. Of the female
headed households, with children under 18 years old, 46.8 percent were below the federally established poverty level;
compared to the County where 35.8 percent of the total were below the poverty level.
4.4.6. Farm Workers
Farm workers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through seasonal agricultural work.
Farm workers have special housing needs because they earn lower incomes than many other workers and move
throughout the year from one harvest location to the next. In the 2007 -2011 American Community Survey, approximately
352 people were classified as working in the agriculture industry sector. Although Lynwood and Los Angeles County
contain a number of major employers in southern California. this growth is not tied to an agricultural base. There is not
currently land within the City boundaries that is utilized for agricultural use, as the majority of land in the City is currently
developed or designated for commercial or residential development. Consequently, the estimated 352 individuals identified
as working in the agricultural sector are not likely to be employed traditional agricultural production within the City. It is
possible that residents commute to other areas in the region to work in agricultural related industries however, the
demand for housing generated by farm workers in the City is estimated to be extremely low. The City does have a number
of affordable multifamily units that provide housing for employees in the sector.
4.4.7. Extremely Low- Income Households
According to 2005 - 2009 CHAS data generated for the City, there were approximately 3,080 very low- income households
living in Lynwood. Very low- income households are those households that earn 50 percent or less of the median family
income NO for the statistical region in which they are located. Extremely low- income households are those households
which earn less than 30 percent of the MR. There are approximately 2,980 extremely law income households in Lynwood

COMMUNITY
PROFILE
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.
To better address and serve the homeless population, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) was
established in 1993 as an independent agency by the County and the City of Los Angeles. LAHSA is the lead agency in the Los
Angeles Continuum of Care, and coordinates and manages over $70 million dollars annually in Federal, State, County and
City funds for programs providing shelter, housing and services to homeless persons in Los Angeles City and County. The
Los Angeles Continuum of Care (CoC) includes all of Los Angeles County except the cities of Glendale, Long Beach, and

Every other year, LAHSA, conducts a point in time survey to count the number of homeless individuals, sheltered or
unsheltered, living throughout the County. According to the 2011 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count, it is estimated that
there are 45,422 homeless persons in Los Angeles Continuum of Care and approximately 51,340 homeless individuals living
in the County at a given point in time. Of the 45,422 reported in the CoC approximately 79 percent were unsheltered and 21
percent were living in either emergency shelter or transitional housing programs at the time of the survey. Within the
South sub -area, 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 8,735 homeless counted during the Point in Time Survey,
including 5,582 single adults and 3,017 family members.
As part of the Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Report authored by LAHSA, cities can participate in the Opt -In Program.
The Opt -In Program provides local jurisdictions with homeless count numbers specific to their area or city allowing them to
obtain local homeless count information to more effectively address local homelessness and to report progress to federal,
state, and county agencies to meet funding requirements. Prior to the 2009 homeless count, the methodology did not
support this need. Beginning in 2009, the study methodology was enhanced to enable opt -in cities /communities to
coordinate a homeless count within their borders using locally recruited volunteers from public and private agencies. In
total, 35 areas consisting of 28 cities and seven communities enumerated all of their census tracts — including the City of
Lynwood. Using the results from the LAHSA shelter and youth counts, cities are able to estimate a point -in -time number of
the homeless families and individuals who are sheltered and unsheltered in their jurisdictions. The most recent data
available for the City of Lynwood is from 2011 and indicates that there are approximately 110 individuals living in the City
including 58 individuals on the street and 52 living in an emergency shelter or transitional housing.
To address the needs of the homeless population in the City, Lynwood, currently allocates HOME funds to service providers
and facilities serving the homeless. To assist those individuals in need, funds are given directly to applicable and available
service providers, including the Peace and Joy Center. Compton Welfare Right Shelter, The Shields for Families. Inc., Palms
Residential Care Facility, South Central Health /Rehabilitation and several other organizations in the immediate vicinity. The
City also actively applies far grants to and in 2009 was awarded approximately $1346,575 in Homelessness Prevention and
Rapid Re- housing Program (HPRP) funds to assist renters who are in danger of becoming homeless and /or those persons

who are in need of temporary housing assistance. The HPBP program is funded by HUD and in effect for 3 years. The City's
HPRP Program had two components that provided assistance to residents: The Homelessness Prevention Program which
has assists approximately 500 individuals and 150 households annually and the Rapid Re- housing Program through which 21
individual and 8 households received assistance annually.
While there are not currently facilities located in Lynwood, the City is very interested in providing services and supports
the efforts of any local non- profit agencies seeking funds to locate homeless/ transitional facilities within the City.
4.4.9 - Emergency Shelters and Transitional

The Homeless Prevention Rapid re- housing Program currently operates within the City of Lynwood and provides services to
homeless individuals and persons who are at risk of homelessness. There are also additional emergency shelters and
transitional In facilities available in the nearby Cities of Downey, Bell, Long Beach, and Compton. These facilities
provide temporary shelter and some services for individuals to help them prepare for re- entering market rate rental

4.5. Affordable Housing At -Risk of
Conversion
State Housing Element law requires an analysis of the potential for currently rent - restricted low- income housing units to
convert to market rate housing, and to propose programs to preserve or replace any units "at risk" of conversion. This
section presents an inventory of all assisted rental housing in Lynwood, and evaluates those units at risk of conversion
during the eight year 2014 -2021 planning period. There are currently two rental properties with affordability convents:
neither is at risk during the planning period.

As shown in Table 4 -32, there are not currently any affordable units at -risk during the 2014 -2021 planning period. The
former City of Lynwood Redevelopment Agency, owned and operated multiple rental properties that are to remain
affordable indefinitely, unless they are sold. These properties are now under the discretion of the City Council and the City
Housing Authority. Additionally, all of the ownership units, as well as the recently constructed Park Place Apartments, for
rent, maintain covenants that extend past 2050 and well beyond the planning period. To ensure these units remain
affordable the City will include a program in the Housing Plan to monitor existing affordable developments and will continue
to update their AB B81 table as necessary.

S. HOUSING CONSTRAINTS
The Housing Constraints section examines all potential constraints that could hinder the City's achievement of its objectives
and the resources that are available to assist in the production, maintenance and improvement of the City's housing stock.
Constraints to the provision of housing may be governmental, such as development standards and zoning regulations or
non - governmental which may include market and environmental factors. State law requires that Housing Elements analyze
potential and actual governmental and non - governmental constraints to the production, maintenance, and improvements of
housing for all persons of all income levels and disabilities. The constraints analysis must also demonstrate efforts by the
local jurisdiction to remove governmental constraints that hinder achievement of housing goals.
5.1. Governmental Constraints
Governmental constraints are policies, development regulations, standards, requirements or other actions imposed by the
various levels of government upon land and housing ownership and development. Although Federal and State agencies play
a role in the imposition of governmental constraints, the actions of these agencies are, for the most part, beyond the
influence of local government and are therefore not addressed in this document. Apart from federally determined interest
rates and State Building Codes, most governmental constraints are local. Land use controls, building codes, processing
procedures, and development fees are all factors that may constrain the maintenance, improvement and /or development
of housing in the City.
State and federal regulations, which the City has no control over, can also add to governmental constraints. Regulations
related to environmental protection, building codes, and other topics have significant, often adverse, impacts on housing
costs and availability. While constraints exist at other levels of government, this section emphasizes policies and
regulations that can be mitigated by the City.
5.1.1. Land Use Controls
Residential development standards affect the financial feasibility of new housing. The City of Lynwood Zoning Code provides
development standards for all types of residential development. These standards, including height limits, yard setbacks, lot

coverage and open space requirements, do not constrain the feasibility of the development of housing in the City. The code
requirements typically address health, safety, and community welfare. Table 5 -1 provides a summary of development
standards far residential uses.

Projects requiring discretionary review impact the financial feasibility of development projects. The City has an existing
CUP process that provides a review body with the discretion to approve or disapprove a project. When Conditional Use
Permits are required for residential uses, project developers perceive certain risk factors are introduced to the
development pracess. To encourage the development of affordable housing, the City amended the Zoning Code during the
previous planning period, to remove, the Conditional Use Permit requirement, allowing multifamily projects with 3 or more
units to be approved through the Site Plan Review process. In comparison to the CUP process the Site Plan review process
allows for administrative review and approval and is described in more detail in Section 5.1.7. Table 5 -2 provides a

5.1.2. Provisions for a Variety of Housing Types
5.1.2.A. Multi - Family Housing
Housing Element Law requires jurisdictions to identify available sites in appropriate zone districts with development
standards that encourage the development of a variety of housing types for all income levels, including multi - family rental
housing, factory -built housing, mobile homes, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. The following paragraphs
describe how the City makes provisions for these types of housing.
Multiple - family housing is the most predominant dwelling type in the City, comprising about 55 percent of the total housing
units. The number of multi - family units has increased in recent years as underdeveloped multi - family zoned lots with only
one unit located on them are recycled and redeveloped with higher density uses. Many multi - family zoned lots occupied with
single- family homes are still located throughout the City. The City's Zoning Ordinance provides for multiple - family units in
the R -2 and R -3 Zones through the site plan review process. In addition, the City has also identified the Long Beach
Boulevard Specific Plan area as an opportunity area for the development of multifamily housing. The Specific Plan, adopted
in 2006, encompasses approximately 137 acres adjacent to Long Beach Boulevard, a primary north /south corridor in the
City. 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. The Specific Plan acts as a "mini zoning code ", providing specific development standards,

in 2006, encompasses approximately 137 acres adjacent to Long Beach Boulevard, a primary north /south corridor in the
City. The Specific Plan seeks to revitalize the corridor through flexible land use regulations that encourage mixed use and

allowable uses, permit procedures, infrastructure provisions, and other regulatory and policy elements the govern the
uses of land in the project area. The Specific Plan is incorporated into the existing Zoning Code by reference and is
designated an the General Plan land use Map as "Specific Plan ".
The Specific Plan area provides flexible development standards to encourage development and redevelopment. There are
four "villages" in the long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan, three of which allow development at a density of 30 dwelling units
per acre. Three of the four "villages" provide for no limits on structure height and there are also no minimum lot size
requirements within the entire Specific Plan area. Generally, front and side yard setback requirements average 10 feet.
The City also approved tandem parking for residential units to give developers more flexibility to redevelop sites. Table 5 -3

and proximity to transit far each project. Based on the proposals received for development within the Specific Plan area.
the City has not found the development standards to be a constraint. The development standards are provided in Sections
3.5 and 3.6 of the Specific Plan.
The Specific Plan is intended to provide developers with flexibility and encourage redevelopment at higher densities than

As the majority of parcels within the Specific Plan area are small in size and in some instances narrow or shallow, the
Specific Plan Implementation Plan acknowledges that lot consolidation will play a large role in achieving cohesive, mixed use
developments. To encourage lot consolidation the Specific Plan includes a specific program recommendation that the
farmer
City of Lynwood's Redevelopment Agency (or Successor Agency) should assist in assembly of key parcels through
development agreements or by purchasing properties. The Plan also recommends a number of measures to make property
owners aware of new development opportunities, including: economic restructuring, establishing a business recruitment
team, creating a business improvement district, promotions and marketing efforts, and identifying a TOO coordinator. In
addition to the programs and actions included in the Specific Plan document, the Housing Plan includes Program 4.4, to
encourage the development of residential and mixed -use projects, by offering incentives to encourage lot consolidation
including: a reduction in the minimum lot size /dimensions, land write - downs, assistance with on- and off -site
infrastructure costs, and other predevelopment costs associated with the assemblage of multiple parcels.
5.1.2.11. Second Dwelling Units
In October 2008, the City of Lynwood adopted Ordinance 1563, permitting the development of second units on single - family
lots, by right, 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 an 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 an lots with minimum area of 6,220 square
feet. The City recognizes that second units are a crucial mechanism for home owners to create additional space for family
and to address overcrowding issues and will continue to promote the development of new units during the planning period.
To ensure consistency with recent changes to State law specifically, California Government Code Section 65852.2, the City
CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT 85
HOUSING
CONSTRAINTS
updated their second unit ordinance in early 2013. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the revised
ordinance in March 2013 which was followed by City Council approval in April 2013.
During the previous planning period, Lynwood, approved 16 second units and numerous duplex projects throughout the City.
This is approximately 4 units a year on average. Generally, second units include one or two bedrooms and the City has
found they are rented at below market rents. Based on the price per square foot of the units developed during the previous
planning period. City Staff has found that 50 percent of second units are affordable to lower income households and 50
percent moderate income households.
5.1.2.C. Transitional Housing and Emergency Shelters
Pursuant to SB2, jurisdictions with an unmet need for emergency shelters are required to identify a zones) where
emergency shelters will be allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use permit or other discretionary, permit. The
identified zone(s) must have sufficient capacity to accommodate the shelter need, and at minimum provide capacity for at
least one year -round shelter.
.To comply with the provisions of S02, in 2013 the City amended the Zoning Code to allow transitional and supportive
housing. including SRO units, as a permitted use in all residential zones, by right without a Conditional Use Permit or other
discretionary action. The City has also revised the Zoning Code to permit emergency shelters, by right without a Conditional
Use Permit or other discretionary action in the Multi - Family Residential (R -3) and the Manufacturing (M) zones and will
ensure that a proposed shelter is subject to only the development standards as permitted by State law. While the City has
little vacant land, there are a number of vacant R -3 parcels that total approximately 3.5 acres. While the vacant R -3
Parcels are often small in size the City provides incentives for lot consolidation and would prioritize assistance for
emergency housing. To accommodate a proposed emergency shelter there are also a number of larger parcels that are
zoned manufacturing located in the northwest corner and along eastern boundary of the City. These parcels are generally
more than an acre in size, and could accommodate a shelter if one were proposed. These zones are appropriate to
accommodate emergency shelters as they are typically located along major arterial roadways with access to employment
centers and near stores and other services.
5.1.2.D. Housing for Persons with Disabilities
In compliance with Senate Bill 520, the Housing Element must analyze potential and. actual government constraints
specifically on the development of housing for persons with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is
supported at the state and local level; the City of Lynwood City has adopted the California State codes, which are more
restrictive codes at the federal level. Pursuant to state law, provisions of ADA were added to the California Code for

housing units built after 1994. Housing units can be required to make improvements meeting accessibility standards. In
2013, the City of Lynwood adopted an official provision for reasonable accommodation.
The City also has two types of specialized residential uses identified in the City's Zoning Code to meet the needs of persons
with disabilities: residential family care facilities and group homes. Residential Care facilities are generally permitted, by
right in all residential zones and adult care facilities are conditionally permitted in all residential zones. Group residences
and care homes serving six or fewer residents are also permitted, by right in all residential zones. Lynwood currently has
four convalescent homes located in residential zones throughout the City, including: Beeehwood Park, Crystal Sunrise, Elm
Park and Woodlawn Park. These homes have use permits allowing seven or more residents. A use permit for a residential
daycare facility is processed in the same manner as any other use permit, requiring the standard notification process.
Conditional Use Permit applications are subject to a public hearing conducted by the Planning Commission.
During the 2DOG -2014 planning period, the City also adopted formal procedures for providing reasonable accommodation.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the revised ordinance in March 2013 which was followed by City
Council approval in April 2013.
5.1.2.E. 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. In March 2010, the City Council adopted Ordinance 1628, amending the Density Bonus to
be compliant with revisions to State law.
Ordinance 1628 states that the City may grant a density bonus a minimum of 20 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 ten percent of the total units of the housing development as target units affordable to lower
income households; or
—� At least five percent of the total units of the housing development as target units affordable to very low
income households; or
—+ Senior citizen housing.
The City also grants density bonuses to promote the development of moderate income households, in accordance with the
following:

The housing development is a common interest project as defined by section 1351 of the California Civil
Code; and
-* All of the dwelling units in the housing development are offered for sale to the public.
In addition, the City offers up to three additional, incentives for qualified housing development, upon the written request of a
developer. 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:

of granting a density bonus and additional incentives.
5.1.3. Parking Standards
Parking standards for the City of Lynwood, as presented in the Municipal Code, provide standards traditionally used by
municipalities throughout Southern California. Generally, parking is a concern for both residents and City officials, as
Lynwood is generally considered to be under - parked. Residents attend City Council meetings on a regular basis to discuss
parking concerns to the extent that a hotline was established for residents to call when driveways and /or roadways are
blocked by parked cars. The high number of cars in the City may be related to the high number of persons per household,
which has only increased over the last two decades. Despite this Lynwood understands that parking requirements need to
be tailored to the land use mix for specific development projects based on the demographic and locational factors as well
as the evolving nature of transit ridership.
The City's parking standards for residential developments are tailored to the vehicle ownership patterns associated with
different residential uses and the number of large households living in the City. All single - family residential homes must
have two spaces within an enclosed garage. However, parking requirements for multiple - family units vary depending on
the number of bedrooms in each unit. Guest parking is based an a percentage of the total number of units. Parking
standards for residential developments in Lynwood are shown in Table 5 -6.

The City does not view the standards prescribed in the Municipal Code as a constraint to the development of housing, as all
development approvals to date have sufficiently prescribed to the standards. No known new development projects have
been deemed infeasible to due existing parking requirements. The City has a history of partnering with affordable housing
developers to develop units for low and very low income households and provides for flexibility with parking standards,
through shared parking arrangements, tandem parking and reduced standards near public transit. During the planning
period, the City approved an affordable housing development, Park Place, with 99 -units that provided carports in lieu of
garages. This example shows the City's commitment to work with developers to ensure that affordable units are facilitated
and not constrained. Generally, the City is willing to work with developers through the modification of development
standards, whenever necessary to ensure that parking standards are not a constraint and will offer reduced parking
standards for projects that include units for affordable and senior residents that can demonstrate a reduced need for
parking.
It is likely during the 2014 -2021 planning period, that a new Station Area Plan will be created to plan for transit oriented
development near the existing Metro Green line station located on Long Beach Boulevard. The City recognizes is a unique
opportunity to require reduced parking standards for projects located within a quarter mile of the station to encourage the
use of public transportation. To ensure that the City's parking requirements do not pose future constraints on residential
development. this Housing Element update includes a program to review, periodically, the residential development
standards to mitigate and /or remove any identified constraints.
5.1.4. Building Codes and Enforcement
Lynwood has adopted the 2010 Los Angeles County Building Code. which is almost based on the 2010 California Building
Code. The standards required in Lynwood are the same as Other jurisdictions in the region which have also adopted the Los
Angeles County Building Code. Building Code standards are based on minimum requirements for health and safety of
residential occupants. No local amendments to the Code have been made.

5.1.5. Site Improvements
Prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy, project applicants are required to provide the necessary improvements
indicated on their application, such as 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. As the City is largely buildout and many of the sites
in the City are already developed, many of the off -site improvements have already been completed.
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 Oemonstration Projects, and State Park Bonds. Local funds may include, but are not limited to.
the General Fund, sale of land, park development fees, 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.
5.1.6. Fees and Exactions
The City and other agencies charge various fees to cover the cast of processing development permits and providing local
services. These fees help ensure quality development and the provision of adequate public services. In addition, developer
fees and exactions imposed on new development can help to minimize impacts on existing infrastructure and enable
required upgrades of infrastructure consistent with demands of the new development. State law requires that these fees
be reasonably related to the mitigation of the identified impact, and that they be proportionate to the extent of impact
associated with any given development project. These development fees are typically passed on to renters and
homeowners in the cast of housing, and thus affect housing affordability. The City's Planning Department fees are outlined
in Table 5 -7 and have not changed since they were last reported in the 2DOG -2014 Housing Element.

The fees shown in Table 5 -7 above are monitored and reviewed constantly and are comparable to adjacent communities. In
addition to the various fees are charged by the City of Lynwood, the County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, and
the Lynwood Unified School District, also assess fees to cover the provision of services. The Sanitation Districts'
connection fees are based on the type of land use and size, and range from $1,500 per multi - family dwelling unit to $1700
per single family home. The Lynwood Unified School District also charges a fee of $3.20 per square foot for all development

HOUSING
CONSTRAINTS
As development processing fees and school fees are largely determined by square footage, valuation and a number of
other factors including the number or bedrooms, bathrooms, outlets, etc, it can be difficult to accurately determine the
average and actual fees charged to a developer for residential development. In summary. Lynwood development fees
represent a small portion of overall cost of residential development, and are comparable to, if not lower than, other Los
Angeles jurisdictions. The City has worked hard to keep fees low and will continue to do so, utilizing allocated funds to
promote development of affordable housing, housing for extremely low income and disabled residents.
5.1.7. 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. Currently, multi - family developments
(excluding condominiums) of three or more units require Site Plan Review.
The Site Plan Review process is initiated upon submittal of an application to City Staff. Staff initially reviews the application
far completeness and presents the application to the development services director or his /her designee for their review.
The application is review generally for conformance with the provisions of this zoning code. The development services
director may then forward the plans, project description, and other relevant materials to the site plan review committee
consisting of members of environmental services, building and safety division, redevelopment department, fire department,
sheriff department, code enforcement division and any other entity deemed appropriate by the development services
director. The development services director will then typically schedule a meeting with the applicant and site plan review
committee to discuss the project. Ultimately, the development services director has the authority to approve, conditionally
approve, or deny the application.
94 CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT
HOUSING
CONSTRAINTS
The Site Plan Review Committee typically reviews the application for the following conditions:
—+ That the proposed uses are consistent with the general plan;
That 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;
That the site for the proposed use is of adequate size and shape to accommodate the use and buildings
proposed;
—► That the proposed use complies with all applicable development standards of the zoning district; and
-4 That the proposed use observes the spirit and intent of this zoning code.
As these conditions are typical to permit a project by -right and the members of the Committee are Staff members that
would typically review a substantial development project, the Site Plan Review process is not a constraint to the
development of residential uses. The Site Plan Review process may in actuality streamline project review as the application
is quickly and efficiently reviewed by all applicable City departments and approval is at the discretion of the director of
development services department.
Permit procedures and processing constraints have also been evaluated to determine constraints on the provision of
housing with persons with disabilities. No special conditions or findings are identified in the Zoning Code relative to the
siting and development of group or residential care facilities. The following findings have been made:
Retrofit requests for ADA accessible features are made "over the counter' and subject to review for
code compliance.
-� Group Homes, or Residential Care Facilities greater than 6 persons are not expressly defined in the
Zoning Code. Such use would require Conditional Use Permit. Residential Care Facilities are allowed
uses within the PRO zone include residential care facilities, but may not be located closer than 300 feet
to another such facility.
The approval of a group home under 6 persons does not have any special permit requirements. Use
greater than 6 persons would require the notice requirements for Conditional Use Permits.

CONSTRAINTS
5.2. Non - Governmental Constraints
5.2.1. Construction Costs
The cost of building materials for residential construction has risen dramatically in recent years. According to the O.S.
Department of Labor, the overall cost of residential construction materials rose by 2 percent between 2011 and 2012, with
steel costs increasing 0.4 percent and the cost of cement increasing 1.5 percent. With the slowdown Of the real estate
market from 2008 until 2012. the price of construction materials has shown a significant decrease compared to the
construction boom. The 2 percent increased in over all construction costs experienced over the past year is primarily due
to the cost of labor.
Together, the cast of building material and construction labor are the most significant cost . components of developing
residential units. In the current southern California market. construction costs are estimated to account for upwards of 50
percent of the sales price of a new home. Typical construction costs for high- density apartment (20 units per acre)
development run around $150,000 per unit including $10.000 per unit for structured parking. Hard construction costs for
development of median - density (15 units per acre) condominiums over podium parking run approximately $200,000 per
unit, including $35,000 per unit for the parking structure.
Variations in the quality of materials, type of amenities, labor costs and the quality of building materials could result in
higher or lower construction costs for a new home. Pre - fabricated factory built housing, with variation on the quality of
materials and amenities may also affect the final construction cost per square foot of a housing project. Furthermore, the
unit volume - that is the number of units being built at one time - can change the cost of a housing project by varying the
economies of scale. Generally, as the number of units under construction at one time increases, the Overall costs
decrease. With a greater number Of units under construction, the builder is Often able to benefit by making larger orders
of construction materials and pay lower costs per material unit.
Density bonuses granted to a project, can also impact construction costs. Municipalities often grant density bonuses as an
incentive for the builder to provide affordable units at the project site. The granting of a density bonus provides the
builder with the opportunity to create mare housing units and therefore more units for sale or lease than would otherwise
be allowed without the bonus. Since greater units can potentially increase the economy of scale, the bonus units could
potentially reduce the construction costs per unit. This type of cost reduction is of particular benefit when density bonuses
are used to provide affordable housing.
96 CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT
HOUSING
CONSTRAINTS
5.2.2. Land Availability and Cost
There is limited vacant residential land available in the City. This is a significant constraint to the development of new
housing within the City. The City currently has a select 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. The economy of land value and the cost of new construction
can limit what a property owner can expect to achieve an an underdeveloped property. Even at higher densities, recycling
and redevelopment can be difficult. Chapter 6, Housing Resources, includes an analysis and discussion of vacant and
underutilized residentially -zone parcels in the City that can accommodate new housing.
Aside from the three residential zones in the City that accommodate residential development (R -I, R -2, and R -3 zones), the
City has also identified opportunities in which commercial properties can be "recycled" for residential purposes and has
specifically identified an additional "residential development opportunity area" which will support the development of
housing in a mixed -use configuration, primarily within the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan area. In 2006 the City
Council adapted the Specific Plan, identifying it as an opportunity area for the development of mixed use, multifamily
housing. The Specific Plan establishes four unique villages or land use districts, all of which all for mixed use development,
including residential uses at densities up to 30 dwelling units per acre. According to the parcel specific survey conducted
for the 2006 -2014 Element there is sufficient capacity for new units to accommodate the City's RHNA allocation.
The price of raw land and any necessary improvements is a key component of the total cost of housing. The diminishing
supply of land available for residential construction combined with a fairly steady demand for such development has served
to keep the cost of land high and rising in southern California. In addition, the two factors which most influence land holding
costs are the interest rate on acquisition and development loans, and government processing times for plans and permits.
The time it takes to hold land for development increase the overall cast of the project. This cast increase is primarily due
to the accruement of interest on the loan, the preparation of the site for construction and processing applications for
entitlements and permits.
5.2.3. Availability of Financing
The availability of financing in a community depends on a number of factors, including the type of lending institutions active
in the community, lending practices, rates and fees charged, laws and regulations governing financial institutions, and equal
access to those institutions. Through analysis of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HDMA) data an the disposition of
residential loan applications, an assessment can be made of the availability of residential financing within a community.

CONSTRAINTS
5.2.4. 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.
As part of the development of the Housing Element, an Initial Study is conducted pursuant to CEDA to evaluate potential
environmental impacts and existing environmental constraints. All potential environmental impacts are identified and
considered. No significant constraints are known that would cause a constraint to residential development. Lynwood is a
built out community, with minimal areas of vacant land. The majority of the remaining vacant land is a result of remnant
parcels from right -of way acquisitions, and sparsely located residential and commercial lots. There are several vacant
parcels in the City, some of which are located along the City's commercial corridors. Further, it is anticipated that future
development of housing would occur as reutilization of sites, second units, infill, and on sites allowing for mixed use.
Although considered low, the potential exists that adverse environmental conditions may have been created by previous
uses on site. Through the City's environmental review process, it would be determined if a Phase I Site Assessment would
be needed to assess if hazardous materials, on or within the vicinity of the future residential sites, would pose any
significant hazards to the public or the environment. Any identified potential hazards would be reduced to levels that are
less than significant through appropriate mitigation measures. If necessary, appropriate mitigation measures would be
recommended to reduce potential hazardous materials impacts to a less than significant level.
5.2.4.A. Wastewater and Sewer Services
Sewage disposal, service in this City is provided by the City of Lynwood Public Works Department. City lines carry sewage
to County of Las Angeles trunk lines, which, in turn, transport sewage to the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County Joint
Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) located in the City of Carson. This facility provides both primary and secondary
treatment for approximately 320 million gallons of wastewater per day. The existing sewage system provides enough
capacity to meet existing and future demand for residential uses.
Only one area in the City is served by a septic system. It is located in an industrial area in the northwest section of the City.
The City anticipates this area will continue with non - residential uses. Future development for this area for residential uses
would require a General Plan Amendment and associated EIR to evaluate and mitigate any potential deficiencies
The Housing Element anticipates the development of additional housing units, which would generate increased wastewater
flows. According to the Los Angeles County Sanitation District, the flow rates from single - family, duplex, triplex and four-
.CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT 99
HOUSING
CONSTRAINTS
plex are 260, 312, 468 and 624 gallons per day. The increased wastewater flows generated by the additional housing units
would create additional demands an the City's and County's wastewater systems. It is anticipated that the wastewater
systems would be adequate to accommodate the proposed residential development. Thus, less than significant impacts are
anticipated in this regard. However, due to the conceptual nature of the proposed Project, future development proposals
would be required to conduct individual assessments of potential impacts to utility and service systems, including
wastewater systems. If necessary, appropriate mitigation measures would be recommended to reduce potential impacts
to a less than significant level.
5.2.4.8. Water
The primary source of water for the City of Lynwood is groundwater from the 23 -mile long Gaspur Aquifer. The City owns
and operates six active wells and one three million - gallon reservoir. There is also a 16 -inch MWO feeder to the reservoir.
The City pumps approximately 5,500 acre -feet per year from groundwater and receives about 1,000 acre -feet per year
from the MWO feeder line. According to the City's General Plan, the existing water supply is adequate to serve the City's
existing and projected population.
The Housing Element anticipates the development of additional residential units, which would generate increased demands
for water supplies. Project implementation would likely not intercept an aquifer, and would not substantially decrease the
City's overall water supply through increased withdrawals from groundwater. Thus, the availability of water supply is
sufficient to meet current and future need.

6. HOUSING RESOURCES
The Housing Resources section summarizes the land, financial, and administrative resources available for the development
and preservation of housing in Lynwood. The analysis conducted includes an evaluation of the availability of land resources
for future housing development; the City's ability to satisfy its share of the region's future housing needs, the financial
resources available to support housing activities, and the administrative resources available to assist in implementing the
City's housing programs and policies.
6.1. Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA)
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.
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. 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
aoyme. jurisdiction :.............................................................................................................................. ...............................

income). The City's extremely low- income need is assumed to be 50 percent of the very low- income allocation.
For the 2014 -2021 planning period. Lynwood's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) has been determined by SCAG to be
494 housing units, including 123 units for very low- income households. 72 units for low- income households. 81 units for
moderate - income households, and 218 units for above moderate - income households. The 2014 -2021 Regional Housing Needs

6.2. Densities to Accommodate Lower
Income Housing
Density is a critical factor in the development of affordable housing. Maintaining low densities typically increases the cost
of construction per unit, while higher density development lowers the per -unit land cost and facilitates construction in an
economy of scale. In addition to the potential for density bonus provisions, more intense residential development is
achieved through a number of mechanisms, including clustering of residential development and zero lot line development,
subject to City development standards. Clustering of housing can produce higher densities an a portion of land while
creating space for amenities, and retaining the overall density assignment of the entire property. This method is effective
when portions of the property not utilized for residential development can be developed with compatible uses. such as open
space /recreation, parks, schools and public facilities.
Affordability is typically correlated with density. The State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) has
established "default densities" that by definition are considered sufficient to provide market -based in for the
development of housing for lower- income households. For jurisdictions with a population greater than 25,000 and located
within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) with a population of more than 2 million, the default density is 30 dwelling units
per acre (or higher). Lynwood has a population greater than 25,000 and is within the Long Beach -Los Angeles - Ontario
MSA: consequently the default density for the City is 30 dwelling units per acre.
Lynwood is a built -out community, with limited vacant land. The majority of available land is a result of remnant parcels
from right -of -way acquisitions, and sparsely located residential and commercial lots. As shown in Table 6 -2. the City of
Lynwood Municipal Code identifies three residential land use classifications. Additionally, the Long Beach Boulevard Specific
Plan allows densities of 30 dwelling units per acre. The availability of land suited to accommodate the various income
levels is based upon the allowed density.

To facilitate and encourage the development of housing units affordable to very low- and low- income residents, the City has
identified zones with densities appropriate to accommodate the development of a variety of housing types.
6.2.1. Residentially Zoned Land
There are three residential zoning districts in the Lynwood Zoning Code that correspond to land use designations in the
General Plan. They include: the R -1 Single Family Residential zone, including the second unit provision for the Single Family
(R -0 zone: the Townhouse, Cluster and Two - Family Residential (R -2) zone, and the Multi - Family Residential (R -3) zone. Each
residential zoning district has associated development standards that dictate the maximum residential densities permitted.
The densities allowed by the General Plan, in conjunction with existing zoning regulations, establish the location, intensity
and appearance of residential development within the City. Specifically, the Lynwood General Plan and Zoning Ordinance
provide for a range of residential land use development densities as follows:
I. Single- Family Residential (R -1) - Allows up to 7 dwelling units per acre. Minimum lot size permitted is 5,000
square feet.
2. Townhouse, Cluster and Two - Family Residential (R -2) - Allows up to 14 dwelling units per acre. Minimum lot size
permitted is 3,112 square feet.
S. Multi- family Residential (R -3) - Allows up to IB dwelling units per acre. This is equivalent to 2,420 square feet per
unit.
The City of Lynwood has limited vacant land resources to provide opportunities for residential development. Specifically,
there are approximately 305 vacant parcels in the City of Lynwood, outside of the Lang Beach Boulevard Specific Plan area,
of which 20 parcels are zoned for residential development. The majority of these parcels are located within existing

residential neighborhoods. All of the vacant parcels are within existing developed areas providing the necessary level of
municipal services (water, sewer, etc.) Table 6 -3 and Exhibit 6 -1 illustrate the vacant parcels within the City of Lynwood.

As shown in Table 6 -3, there are 15 vacant parcels in the City zoned R -3, allowing up to IS dwelling units per acre. This
density is appropriate to accommodate moderate income development. Based on the parcels presented in Table B -3.
approximately 46 moderate and above moderate income units can be accommodate on vacant sites zoned R -3. Table 6 -3
also includes 5 parcels zoned R -I, which allows up to 7 dwelling units per acre. This zone is appropriate to accommodate
above moderate income development. The parcels listed generally show that the City has vacant land to accommodate
approximately 10 above moderate income units. As these sites were identified in the City's 2006 -2014 Housing Resources
section, but were not developed during the previous planning period, they remain viable sites for the 2814 -2021 planning
cycle.

6.2.2. Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan
To accommodate their 2014- 2021RHNA allocation, the City has also identified the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan as an
opportunity area for the development of housing for all income levels. The Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan is a linear,
2.37 -mile, north -south aligned project area covering approximately 138 acres. It is one of the major transportation
corridors in Lynwood and includes the blocks facing Long Beach Boulevard between Tweedy Boulevard to the north and
Orchard Street to the south. Typical of major corridors of urban cities, long Beach Boulevard is busy with vehicular traffic
as well as pedestrian movement.
The Specific Plan, adopted in 2008, establishes four unique land use districts, called villages. which allow for mixed use
development including residential uses at densities of 30 dwelling units per acre. The four villages permit residential
development at the following densities:
I. Village I (Downtown Village 1) -18 dwelling units per acre
2. Village 2 (Downtown Village 11) - 30 dwelling units per acre
3. Village 3 (Transit Village) - 30 dwelling units per acre
4. Village 4 (Business Village) - 30 dwelling units per acre
The City has identified the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan area as a key growth area based on the following factors:
I. The majority of existing development and structures within the Specific Plan area are 50 years in age or older,
providing significant opportunities to introduce higher density development that provides new housing and
employment opportunities to Lynwood residents.
2. The Specific Plan provides significant regional transportation access through the MTA Greenline Metro Junction
Station, Metro Bus Lines and the Lynwood Trolley Company. The MTA Greenline provides regional access to major
employment centers throughout the Los Angeles area. The Metro Bus Lines provide regional access, through six
routes directly accessible to the Specific Plan area. The Lynwood Trolley also provides local transit service to
neighborhoods and businesses in the community.
3. The Specific Plan document provides flexible development standards to encourage development and
redevelopment. Three of the Specific Plan's four "villages" provide for no height limits, and Village I limits heights
to 75 feet, providing flexibility for new development. Additionally, there are no minimum lot size requirements. A
density standard of 30 dwelling units per acre is permitted, with live /work development providing no limit in the
number of units on a site in the Business Village (4). Front and side yard setback requirements average 10 feet.
Tandem parking is also permitted for residential units. The evaluation of these standards, the feasibility of
106 CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT
HOUSING
RESOURCES
development on vacant and existing developed sites has been determined as very favorable due to their flexible
nature.
4. The existing conditions of the Specific Plan area indicate the readiness for redevelopment of underutilized parcels
along the corridor. The Existing Conditions section of the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan describes the
existing site conditions, including a mix of retail - commercial, motels, restaurants and strip mall uses with
scattered single - family and multifamily homes. The mixed use and multiple family developments allowed in the
Specific Plan are intended to buffer the existing lower density residential uses adjacent to the area while
providing new jobs, services and housing units appropriate for the highly traveled corridor.
The Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan is the ideal location for the development of new housing including market rate and
affordable units as stand -alone projects or incorporated into mixed use development placing employment opportunities,
dining, shopping, neighborhood services, and residential uses in close proximity of one another thereby reducing vehicle
trips and encouraging walkability and creating a 24 -hour sustainable environment. It is anticipated based on the permitted
densities and the sites available that the Specific Plan area will offer significant opportunities to accommodate the City's
RHNA allocation. The Specific Plan area and the boundaries of each of the four villages are shown in Figure 64

As mentioned previously, the existing conditions report, provided in the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan, suggests that
the area is poised for redevelopment. While there are a number of successful commercial businesses in the center of the
corridor, including restaurants, larger strip malls, big box stores, and fast food restaurants, there are a number of less
desirable, low- density uses extending out to either end of the Specific Plan area. The businesses that the City would like to
see transition include older motels, auto repair shops, liquor stores, tattoo parlors, single family homes, and low density
multifamily housing. The Specific Plan indicates that these uses are no longer appropriate and the parcels are
underutilized. As mentioned previously, many of the structures along the corridor are more than 50 years old, most are in
need of significant cosmetic, if not structural repairs, and some are vacant with no prospective tenants. The following
images provide a context for redevelopment along the long Beach Boulevard corridor.
Vacant storefronts near the southern end of the
Specific Plan area between Orchard Avenue and
Euclid Avenue.
The corridor is home to numerous older, low- density
motels that are often vacant and in need of
significant improvements. The City would like to see
these uses recycled.
Located in the southern portion of the Specific Plan
area, there are single family residential structures that
are no longer habitable. These properties offer prime
opportunities for redevelopment.
There are many auto - related businesses on Long
Beach Boulevard that are not compatible with the
surrounding uses and not allowed by the Specific Plan.
The City would like to see these uses relocated and
the parcels redeveloped.

HOUSING
RESOURCES
In both the northern and southern portions of the Specific Plan area there are vacant paved surface parking lots that
are underutilized. If consolidated with adjacent parcels these areas could allow for the development of larger
comprehensive projects.
Single family homes still remain scattered along the
corridor, like this one sandwiched by commercial uses.
These homes are often isolated, older, and in need of
substantial repairs. These homes are not appropriate
and the parcels are underutilized.
There are several larger, vacant parcels in the Specific
Plan area that offer the potential for comprehensive
development opportunities.
There are many single -story commercial buildings in
the City with nominal uses that are ready to be
revitalized and transitioned into higher intensity uses.
Fenced off properties serving as storage areas are not
pedestrian friendly or compatible with surrounding
uses. These sites offer opportunities for redevelopment
in the northern portion of the Specific Plan area.

area. The City would like to see these sites
redeveloped into mixed use with residential units.
The central portion of the Specific Plan area is close to
City Hall, the Senior Center and other public services,
offering residents easy access.
There are newer yet limited, successful businesses within the Specific Plan area that offer residents services, dining,
shopping, and employment opportunities. These businesses are well maintained and provide landscaping features
to encourage pedestrian activity. Any future development in the corridor will benefit from their proximity.

As shown in the images above, there are a variety of conditions along Long Beach Boulevard. There are a number of
successful businesses that offer services, shopping, dining, and employment opportunities. Lynwood City Hall, the library,
and the Lynwood Senior Center are also in close proximity, although not within the Specific Plan area. Throughout the
corridor there are numerous opportunities for redevelopment including:
I. Auto uses that are no longer permitted by the Specific Plan, do not aesthetically enhance the corridor, and are not
consistent with the adjacent uses.
2. Vacant properties, and paved surface parking lots, that are underutilized.
3. One and two story motel buildings that have high vacancies rates and are in need of rehabilitation.
4. Single family homes that are isolated and in some instances uninhabited.
5. Older commercial buildings that are in need of repairs and house less desirable uses, including: liquor stores.
tattoo parlors, nail and hair salons.
It is also important to note that the majority of parcels within the Specific Plan area are small in size and in some instances
narrow or shallow. To encourage lot consolidation to allow for cohesive mixed use projects, the Specific Plan includes a
program recommendation stating that the former City of Lynwood's Redevelopment Agency (or Successor Agency) should
assist in assembly of key parcels through development agreements or by purchasing properties. The Plan also
recommends a number of measures to make property owners aware of new development opportunities, including:
economic restructuring, establishing a business recruitment team, creating a business improvement district, promotions
and marketing efforts, and identifying a TOO coordinator. In addition to the programs and actions included in the Specific
Plan document, the Housing Plan includes Program 4.4, to encourage the development of residential and mixed -use
projects, by offering incentives to encourage lot consolidation including: a reduction in the minimum lot size /dimensions,
land write - downs, assistance with on- and off -site infrastructure costs, and other predevelopment costs associated with
the assemblage of multiple parcels.
To determine the potential development capacity of the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan a parcel specific inventory with
unit capacity for each village is provided in Appendix A. The City has evaluated the development capacity of the Specific Plan
area to determine a more realistic potential development yield, based upon evaluation of existing land uses, infrastructure
capacity, and evaluation of land use controls and required site improvements. Table 6 -4 provides a summary by village of
the potential maximum buildout, assuming 50 percent residential development, and realistic buildout, assuming 25 percent
residential build out to conservatively estimate the number of residential units that can be accommodating within the
Specific Plan area.

A for parcel specific info.
Based on the total acreage of the Specific Plan area, the permitted densities for each district, and conservatively assuming
mixed use sites are developed with 25 percent residential capacity, the Specific Plan area can accommodate approximately
950 units. Based on the existing conditions of Long Beach Boulevard, the City understands that it is unrealistic to assume
the entire area will be redeveloped with residential uses, as the Specific Plan allows for mixed use development and many
of the parcels within the Specific Plan area are currently developed. The City feels that these assumptions allow for a
conservative and more realistic estimate of residential development within the Specific Plan area. To encourage and
facilitate the development of vacant sites and the redevelopment of older and undesirable uses the City will offer a menu of
incentives, prioritizing funding and opportunities for extremely low- and very low- income housing as well as special needs
groups.

6.3.1. Environmental Constraints
Potential environmental constraints to future development of sites are addressed in Section 5, Housing Constraints
Parcels identified in the site specific Inventory were compared with all hazards maps included in the City's Safety Element;
none were found to be within areas that have development restrictions due to risk of damage from disasters (such as
floods, wildfires, or seismic events). The sites inventoried have a land use designation which was determined based on
surrounding land uses and has already examined potential environmental constraints. Aside from the constraints
mentioned above, there are no additional constraints that would impede the development of new housing units in the future
on the identified sites.
6.3.2. Infrastructure Constraints
The City's five year Capital Improvement Plan has identified expenditures of City funds used for public improvement
projects, including infrastructure. The City understands that improvements can be achieved with a comprehensive
approach that includes reviewing infrastructure plans for each application for discretionary approval of General Plan
amendments, tentative parcel or tentative tract maps, or development proposals that includes extension of an existing
street or construction of a new street. The City requires that project applications for new development be reviewed for
adequate infrastructure. Applications are evaluated on a case -by -case basis to ensure there is the capacity to service new
developments. Infrastructure requirements and costs are also discussed in addressed in Section 5, flausingCanstrail&..
Furthermore within the Long Beach Boulevard Specific Plan area a thorough infrastructure analysis was conducted in the
development of the Specific Plan document. As determined by the Specific Plan, there is sufficient level of service for
water, sewer, and storm drain facilities to serve existing and project future demands. Provision of infrastructure is not
seen as a constraint to development in the Specific Plan area.
6.4. Financial Resources
A variety of potential funding sources are available to finance housing activities in Lynwood. Cue to both the high cost of
developing and preserving housing, and limitations on both the amount and uses of funds, layering of funding sources may
be required for affordable housing programs and projects. Table E -E lists the potential funding sources that are available
for housing activities. They are divided into five categories: federal, State, county, local, and private resources..
CITY OF LYNWOOD 2014 -2021 HOUSING ELEMENT 115
HOUSING
RESOURCES
In previous years, the primary source of funds for affordable housing activities in Lynwood included HOME funds, CD6G
funds as well as the Redevelopment Agency housing set -aside fund. However, on Oec. 29, 2DII, the California Supreme Court
ruled to uphold ABxI 26, which dissolved all redevelopment agencies (ROAs) in the State. A companion bill, ABxl 27, which
would have allowed the RDAs to continue to exist, was also declared invalid by the court. The court's decision required that
all RDAs within California be eliminated no later than February I. 2012. The City of Lynwood Redevelopment Agency was
dissolved as of February I, 2OI2 and the City was selected to be the Successor Agency responsible for all enforceable
obligations owed.
Lynwood previously relied on estimated redevelopment housing set -aside revenues ranging from $850,000 to $1.1 million
annually to support the development of affordable housing and the implementation of programs outlined in the Housing
Plan. For the 2014 -2021 planning cycle, the City is investigating new funding sources to utilize to continue administering its
existing programs.

6.4.1. Potential Future Funding Sources
In addition to the funding sources listed in Table 6 -6, affordable housing advocates are working with large foundations in
hopes of creating a low- interest loan fund from endowments. Housing groups are also continuing attempts to broaden
infrastructure financing authority. An infrastructure financing district (IFD) may be formed pursuant to California
Government Code Section 53395 et seq. (the "IFD Law "). These districts have rights to the tax increment for financing
public infrastructure. This authority exists at both the state and local level, but under current law requires a vote. Another
hurdle is that current IFD law prohibits IFDs within any portion of a redevelopment project area that is or has been
previously created; coupled with the fact that the legislative intent of the IFD law is that IFD areas are substantially
undeveloped - However, many advocates remain hopeful that IFDs may provide an opportunity to fill the redevelopment gap.
Current drafts of new legislation would allow cities to create infrastructure districts without voter approval and make IFDs
more user - friendly. There is also proposed legislation that, in addition to allowing for IFD formation by resolution, would
require set - asides for affordable housing where an IFD is farmed in a transit village development district. Certain
legislation also seeks to broaden the share of property tax increment that IFDs in specified locations may collect, and seeks
to address the current deficiencies in the IFD Law.

Oescribed below are several non- profit agencies that are currently active and have completed projects in Los Angeles
County. These agencies serve as resources in meeting the housing needs of the City. and are integral in implementing
activities for acquisition /rehabilitation, preservation of assisted housing, and development of affordable housing. The City
currently has a program within their Housing Plan to partner with affordable housing developers, including the three
mentioned below.
Habitat for Humanity
Habitat is a non - profit. Christian organization that builds and repairs homes for sale to very low- income families with the
help of volunteers and homeowner /partner families. Habitat homes are sold to partner families at no profit with
affordable, no interest loans. The local affiliate, Habitat for Humanity, has been active in the region, rehabilitating or
building new homes for families annually.
Jamboree Housing Corporation (JHC)
JHC is a non - profit developer that has developed and implemented numerous affordable housing projects throughout
Southern California and the State. Jamboree has also established an in -house social services division to assist residents
in maintaining self - sufficiency. "Housing with a HEART" (Helping Educate, Activate and Respond Together) now operates at
most Jamboree -owned properties.

6.5. Energy Conservation
The City of Lynwood is committed to conserving energy and reducing pollution associated with the production of electricity.
Compliance with Title 24, the California Building Standards Code an the use of energy efficient appliances and insulation has
reduced energy demand stemming from new residential development.
Southern California Edison, which provides electricity service in Lynwood, also offers public information and technical
assistance to developers and homeowners regarding energy conservation. Southern California Edison also provides
incentives for energy efficient new construction and home improvements. Through the California Energy Star° New Homes

HOUSING
RESOURCES
program, builders can receive up to $700 per single - family unit or $275 per multi - family unit for constructing homes that
are 15 -20 percent more energy efficient than the Title 24 requirements. Builders also have the option of installing efficient
appliances, insulation and /or tight ducts to receive similar monetary incentives. Owners of existing homes can receive
monetary incentives for purchasing Energy Star® qualified appliances or making other energy- saving improvements.
Additionally, as part of the new California Solar Initiative, all cities serviced by Southern California Edison are eligible for
cash incentives, a streamlined interconnection process, and simplified requirements for Net Energy Metering for installing
solar electric systems.
A more recent strategy implemented to build energy - efficient homes is the application of the O.S. Green Building Council's
guidelines for LEED Certification to residential development. LIED- certified buildings demonstrate energy and water
savings, reduced maintenance costs and improved occupant satisfaction. The LEED for New Construction program has been
applied to numerous multi - family residential projects nationwide. The LEED for Homes program was launched in 2005 and
includes standards fur new single - family and multi - family home construction.
The LEED certification standards are one piece of a coordinated green building program. A green building program
considers a broad range of issues including community site design, energy efficiency, water conservation, resource -
efficient material selection, indoor environmental quality, construction management, and building maintenance. The end
result will be buildings that minimize the use of resources; are healthier for people; and mitigate the effects of the
environment.
The following presents a variety of ways in which Lynwood promotes energy conservation:
-4 Provide information regarding rebate programs and energy audits available through Southern California
Edison;
Refer residents and businesses to energy conservation programs such as LEED for Homes;
—� Develop incentives, such as expedited plan check, for developments that are utilizing green building;
Promote funding opportunities for green buildings, including available rebates and funding through the
California Energy Commission; and
Provide resource materials regarding green building and energy conservation.

%. PROGRESS REPORT
The Progress Report reviews the previous Housing Element's programs, objectives, and actions that were to be
implemented during the previous planning period. The City of Lynwood's Housing Element identified five goals to be
implemented during the previous planning period. Each goal has specific policies that were to be achieved in order to
facilitate the construction of affordable housing and to maintain the existing affordable housing stock. Each policy has
specific actions and quantified objectives that were to be implemented to accomplish the goal of the program. Each of the
actions and objectives had a timeframe for completion along with a responsible agency to monitor the program.
The accomplishments are listed on the right column of the table and display the progress, effectiveness, and
appropriateness of the program. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65588 local governments shall review their
Housing Element and evaluate the following:
I. The progress of the City or County in implementation of the housing element;
2. The effectiveness of the housing element in attainment of the community's housing goals and objectives; and
3. The appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to the attainment of the State
housing goal.
The following table reviews the continued progress in implementation, the effectiveness of the Housing Element, and the
appropriateness of the City's housing goals since 2008. Table 7 -1 provides a summary of housing programs that have been
achieved, partially achieved or not achieved.
