CITY OF WILDOMAR PC - REGULAR MEETING CONSENT CALENDAR Agenda Staff Report # 1.2 Meeting Date: February 7, 2024 SUBJECT: 2023 Housing and Community Development (HCD) General Plan/Housing Element Annual Progress Report: SUBMITTED BY: Matthew Bassi PREPARED BY: Matthew Bassi ACTION: The Planning Department recommends the Planning Commission receive and file this information. PROJECT ANALYSIS: The 2021/2029 Housing Element is intended to identify and establish City policies with respect to meeting the housing needs of existing and future residents in the city. It establishes policies that will guide City decision-making and sets forth an action plan to implement its housing goals. The commitments are in furtherance of the statewide housing goal of early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family, as well as a reflection of the concerns unique to the City of Wildomar. The primary purpose is to identify housing solutions that solve our local housing problems and to meet or exceed the regional housing needs allocation. The City recognizes that housing is a need that is met through many resources and interest groups. The Housing Element establishes the local goals, policies, and actions (programs) the City will implement and/or facilitate to solve our identified housing issues. To this end, the City Council on October 13, 2021 adopted the 2021/2029 Housing Element (6th Cycle document). The element was subsequently certified by state department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on December January 10, 2022. A copy of the certified 2021/2029 Housing Element is on the City’s website, and a copy is provided for reference in Attachment B. In accordance with Government Code Section 65400, the City is required to submit on April 1 of each year an annual progress of the City’s efforts in addressing our RHNA allocation as 13

delineated in the Housing Element. This year will be the 3rd year reporting period under the 2021/2029 Housing Element known as the 6th Cycle Housing Element period. The reporting spreadsheets are much different than in years past due to the passage of SB 35 and AB 879 by the state legislature as part of the 2017 California Housing Law Package. As a point of clarification, the RHNA allocation numbers are applicable to all income categories, and not just the extremely low & very low categories. The City is required to plan for housing across all income categories, and every residential unit built in the City counts towards our RHNA allocation. However, the City is not mandated to ensure that all of its RHNA units are actually built. The City is only required to demonstrate to HCD that adequate sites are properly zoned to accommodate affordable housing. 2023 Reporting Analysis: Since adoption of the 2021/2029 Housing Element (6th Cycle) by the City Council, the Planning Department has prepared and submitted to HCD the required annual reports. The 2023 progress report represents the 3rd of 8 annual reports submitted for this 6th Cycle housing period. Please refer to Attachment A for details. In regard to the City’s RHNA allocation, Table HNA-20 of the 2021/2029 Housing Element (Page HNA-71) outlines what the fair share RHNA allocation is for the 2021/2029 housing planning period. The total RHNA allocation established for Wildomar is 2,715 units which are divided among the four (4) HCD required income categories (i.e., very low (includes very low), low, moderate, and above moderate) as summarized in the table below: RHNA Allocation Table (from 2021/2029 Housing Element) Income Level RHNA Allocation by Income Level Total Building Permits Issued (2023) Total Remaining RHNA Allocation Extremely Low & Very Low 798 0 798 Low 450 0 450 Moderate 434 10 419 Above Moderate 1,033 503 415 Total RHNA 2,715 units 513 2,082 Table B of the 2022 Annual Progress Report (Attachment A, page 4 of 21) reflects the total breakdown of units built since the start of the 6th Cycle reporting period in 2023. As illustrated in Table B, a total of 513 new units were issued building permits, and of those, 35 units received a certificate of occupancy in 2023 in the moderate and above moderate categories. Staff anticipates that this number will significantly increase in 2024 given the number of units that will be completed with the current construction activity. 14

Since adoption of the 2021/2029 Housing Element, a total of 633 units have received building permits across all income categories. This leaves a “balance” of 2,082 units remaining to be built. As this is the 3rd year of the current 6th Cycle reporting period, the City’s remaining RHNA allocation in each income category is noted in the above table. Of importance to note is that the City in 2021 approved a 222-unit, SB 35 affordable housing project known as Tres Lagos Housing project. Phase 1 and 2 of this project has been graded and vertical construction of about 176 units will occur throughout 2024. In addition, the City recently approved a 2nd SB 35 affordable housing project known as the “Wildomar Cottages” in May 2023 consisting of 128 affordable multi-family units (located in Sedco Hills). The Applicant at this time is still pursuing funding. Collectively, the Tres Lagos and Wildomar Cottages affordable housing projects will create 350 affordable housing units which counts towards our RHNA allocation within the very low to moderate income categories. As the state continues to push its housing agenda onto local government agencies, it is likely that the city will see other SB 35 affordable housing projects during the 2021-2029 reporting period. Conclusion: The City is required to submit the 2023 annual housing progress report to HCD by April 1, 2024. Included with the annual report is a summary of the actions taken by the City on its progress in meeting the adopted 2021/2029 housing element action items (refer to Table D (Attachment A, Pdf page 5 - 21). As noted in this table, the City continues to make good progress on its 29 action items outlined in the 2021/2029 Housing Element. The report is tentatively scheduled for City Council review at its meeting on March 13, 2024.

Wildomar - 2023 APR 1 2 3 4 Name of Program Objective Timeframe in H.E Status of Program Implementation PROGRAM H- 1.1:Updated Available Sites Inventory The City will monitor the Available Sites Inventory annually as projects are processed through the Planning Department to ensure sufficient capacity is maintained to accommodate the City’s remaining RHNA numbers. Update the Available Sites Inventory on an annual basis The City regularly reviews its Available Sites Inventory, analyzing both vacant and underutilized land, to ensure sufficient capacity exists for building the remaining RHNA-required housing units, particularly across income categories. PROGRAM H- 1.2:Large Sites. The City will provide for the inclusion of mixed-income housing in future new growth areas of the city through development agreements, specific plans, and other mechanisms. To facilitate the development of affordable housing on parcels (that can accommodate 50 to 150 units), the City will routinely give high priority to processing subdivision maps that include affordable housing units. Also, an expedited review process will be available for the subdivision of larger sites into buildable lots where the development application can be found consistent with the General Plan, applicable Specific Plan, and master environmental impact report. The City will offer the following incentives for the development of affordable housing on large sites, which may include, but is not limited to: •Streamlining and expediting the approval process for land division for projects that include affordable housing units, •Ministerial review of lot line adjustments, •Deferral of fees related to the subdivision for projects affordable to lower-income households,
