City of Aliso Viejo AGENDA ITEM DATE: May 19, 2021 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Omar Dadabhoy, Community Development Director Rose Rivera, Senior Planner SUBJECT: 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Recommended Action: Conduct a study session regarding the 2021-2029 update to the Housing Element of the Aliso Viejo General Plan as required by State law, and provide direction to Staff regarding the update. Fiscal Impact: None. Background: State law requires every city and county in California to prepare, adopt and implement a General Plan, which establishes overall goals and policies for future growth of the jurisdiction. As set out in California Government Code, a city’s General Plan must include a Housing Element as one of seven mandatory elements. The Housing Element must include policies and programs to meet the City’s existing and future housing needs, as established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”) and the Southern California Association of Governments (“SCAG”). The purpose of this study session is to provide the City Council and community stakeholders with an overview of the State-mandated update to the Housing Element of the City’s General Plan for the 2021-2029 period. Discussion: RHNA Requirements To comply with State law, the City's Housing Element must be updated to ensure that the City's policies and programs can accommodate the estimated existing and projected housing needs for Aliso Viejo identified by SCAG’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment 7

Page 2 of 4 (“RHNA”) allocation for the 2021-2029 planning cycle. Prior to each cycle, the total new housing need for each region of California is determined by HCD based upon economic and demographic trends, existing housing problems such as overcrowding and overpayment, and additional housing needed to ensure reasonable vacancy rates and replace units lost due to demolition or natural disasters. The total housing need for the SCAG region, which includes Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial and Ventura counties, is distributed to cities and counties by SCAG based upon objectives and criteria established in State law. In 2019, HCD determined that the total new housing need for the entire SCAG region in the 6 th Housing Element cycle is 1,341,827 units. In March 2021, SCAG adopted the RHNA plan for the 6 th cycle, which fully allocates the RHNA to jurisdictions in the SCAG region. Table 1 shows the RHNA allocations for Aliso Viejo, Orange County, and the entire SCAG region. Table 1. 6th Cycle RHNA – Aliso Viejo, Orange County and SCAG Region Aliso Viejo Orange County SCAG Region Housing need allocation 2021-2029 1,195 183,861 1,341,827 Source: SCAG, 3/4/2021 The RHNA also distributes each jurisdiction’s total housing need into four income categories (the extremely-low and very-low categories are combined for RHNA purposes). Aliso Viejo’s 6 th cycle RHNA allocation by income category is shown in Table 2. Table 2. 6th RHNA by Income Category – Aliso Viejo Extremely Low + Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total 390 214 205 386 1,195 Source: SCAG, 3/4/2021 Available Sites Analysis The Housing Element must provide an evaluation of the city’s capacity for additional housing based on land use patterns, development regulations, other development constraints (such as infrastructure availability and environmental conditions) and real estate market trends. The analysis must be prepared at a parcel-specific level of detail and identify properties (or “sites”) where additional housing could be built consistent with City regulations. This evaluation is referred to as the “sites analysis” and State law requires the analysis to demonstrate that the city has adequate capacity to fully accommodate its RHNA allocation in each income category. If the sites analysis does not demonstrate that adequate capacity exists to fully accommodate the RHNA, the Housing 8

Page 3 of 4 Element must describe what steps will be taken to increase capacity consistent with the RHNA – typically through amendments to land use and zoning regulations that could facilitate additional housing development. Such amendments typically include increasing the allowable residential density or allowing housing to be built in areas that are currently restricted to only non-residential land uses. Aliso Viejo is fully developed with little vacant land suitable for new housing. Therefore, the City’s RHNA allocation must be satisfied through redevelopment of properties that have potential for housing or mixed use (i.e., a combination of housing and commercial uses on the same property). As part of the available sites analysis process, staff is currently studying development options such as mixed-use, construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and rezoning of office properties. Staff has prepared a list of potential sites for City Council discussion as part of the attached PowerPoint presentation. State law allows up to three years for cities to evaluate the potential properties and adopt zoning amendments on sufficient sites to accommodate the RHNA allocation. Community Participation Staff developed an online survey with eight questions for those who live or work in Aliso Viejo to provide feedback regarding housing preferences. The survey was posted on the City’s website for six weeks. The City received 111 responses to the survey, which closed on May 7, 2021, and the results of the survey will also be part of this discussion. Members of the community who were on the City’s interest list were notified of the Study Session to provide them the opportunity to learn about the Housing Element Update process and to provide public input. The meeting notice along with additional materials related to the Housing Element update process were also posted to the City’s website at https://avcity.org/371/Housing-Element. Next Steps As part of this study session, John Douglas, the City’s housing element consultant along with City staff, will provide an update to the Council on the project timeline and next steps in the development of the Housing Element update, including preparation of the draft Housing Element. Environmental: This Study Session is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, Feasibility and Planning Studies. Any direction provided to staff is not a final action or approval in regard to the Housing Element Update and does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary action. 9
