AGREEMENT - PREPARATION OF HOUSING
ELEMENT UPDATE - COTTONBELAND/
ASSOCIATES, INC.
•
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The proposed action will execute a professional services agreement in the amount of$31,715 to retain
Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc. to update the Housing Element in accordance with the provisions of
State Law.
DISCUSSION
Overview of Housing Element Update Requirements and Process:
By provision of State law, all cities within the Southern California Association of Governments
(SCAG) region are required to update their Housing Element prior to July 1, 2000. The update
process is required to comply with very detailed requirements as set forth within the Government
Code, § 65580 — 65590.1. The current Housing Element was adopted in May 1990 and has been
revised to ensure internal consistency regarding additional projects within the City during the
intervening time period, e.g., Hellman Ranch, Bixby Ranch, Shore Shop developments. The 1990
Housing Element was never certified by the State Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD), but was found in compliance with the provisions of State law by the California
courts.
Given the very detailed and specific requirements of State law regarding the contents of the Housing
Element, staff had recommended and the City Council has budgeted for consultant services to preosn.

City Council Staff Report

the required update to the Housing Element. The purpose of this update is to bring the Housing
Element into compliance with the current requirements of State law, and to ultimately have the
document certified by HCD.
The goal in updating the Housing Element is to develop a comprehensive housing program which
addresses the identified needs of Seal Beach's present and future residents, including the affordability,
availability, and adequacy of the City's housing stock. Primary criteria to be used in developing the
City's housing program will include:
❑ satisfaction with provisions of State law;
o acceptability with the City Council; and
❑ feasibility given staff and budgetary constraints.
The Housing Element Update will require the completion of the following major components:
❑ Update the most recent census and statistical data available in analysis of existing
conditions, housing needs, constraints to development, and fair share housing needs
analysis.
❑ Utili7P updated housing needs information to guide the evaluation of the appropriateness of
the City's existing policies and programs.
❑ Ensure internal consistency with the goals, policies and programs of all of the other
elements of the General Plan, and the subdivision and zoning code.
❑ Meet statutory requirements, including options for counting existing units which could be
made available through acquisition and rehabilitation or preserved ["committed assistance"
provisions of AB 438 (Torlakson)] in the quantified objectives towards meeting the
Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA)allocation.
O The City's preliminary construction need allocation is 265, with 42% (95 units) in the Very
Low and Low Income Categories. As a comparison, the 1990 Housing Element need
allocation was 494, with 37% (184 units) in the Very Low and Low Income Categories.
The current RHNA numbers are certainly more reasonable and have an increased capability
of being provided, particularly through utilization of the "committed assistance" provisions
of AB 438 (Torlakson).
The City issued an RFP for the necessary consulting services on October 14, 1999 to ten firms that
provide the requested consulting services. The City received two responses to the RFP issued
regarding the update to the Housing Element. The responding firms are:

Both of these firms are very capable and have extensive knowledge and work experience in the
preparation of Housing Elements
The Director of Development Services and the Assistant City Attorney interviewed both firms in mid-
December and it is the recommendation to the interview panel to retain Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc.
to prepare the Housing Element Update.

Proposal of Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc. is provided as Attachment 2.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Capital Projects Budget in account 001-49684-030 in the amount of
$30,000. Staff has negotiated with Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc. to reduce the costs of the
Housing Element Update from the originally proposed amount of$ 34,945.00 to as close to the
budgeted amount of $ 30,000.00 as possible. Staff will be responsible for preparation of all
environmental documents, preparation of appropriate staff reports, and all required public
notices/mailings. This will reduce the overall project budget from $34, 945.00 to $31,715.00.
Staff will allocate the additional amount of $1,715.00 for the complete funding of this project
from account 001-49500-030, the Machinery and Equipment Account within the Planning
Services budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Upon motion of the consent calendar, it is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with
Cotton/Beland/Associates, Inc. to update the Housing Element at a cost not to exceed $31,715.00.

EXPERIENCE AND REFERENCES
As highlighted in the prior section on Firm Qualifications, housing elements and related
studies comprise a substantial portion of CBA's work. In response to the City's RFP,we have
prepared a matrix listing all the housing elements CBA has prepared over the past eight or so
years, and the status of HCD approval.
The following highlights a few of our more recent housing elements, and provides references
for each. Karen Warner served as the project manager on each of the housing elements listed.
1998-2003 Santa Monica Housing Element
CottonBeland/Associates recently completed a comprehensive update to the Santa Monica
Housing Element for the 1998-2003 planning period. The Element includes an in-depth
analysis of the following key aspects of Santa Monica's housing market: 1) inclusionary
housing and density bonus programs; 2) rent control requirements; 3) multi-family
development standards; 4) impacts of Northridge earthquake on housing stock; and 5)
availability of adequate sites to address regional housing needs, including sites in commercial
areas. A Citywide tenant survey was conducted to provide insights into changing tenant
characteristics resulting from increased mobility since the 1990 census. CBA conducted a
series of issue forums to solicit community input on housing issues, as well as public
workshops before the City's Planning Commission, Housing Commission, Rent Board, and
City Council.
•
Because the City's Housing Element update was the subject of a Settlement Agreement, the
Element was required to critically evaluate City policies and programs as potential constraints
to housing production. As a result of this analysis, the City is revising several of its
regulations, including its inclusionary housing ordinance and multi-family development
standards, to better facilitate market-rate housing production. Another important aspect of
Element preparation involved ongoing coordination with State HCD, including an in-person
meeting to review the draft Element and to provide response to correspondence HCD received
from development interests in the community. The adopted Housing Element was
found in legal compliance by HCD.

1996-2000 Huntington Beach Housing Element
The City of Huntington Beach undertook a comprehensive General Plan update in the mid
1990s, and in 1996 hired CBA to update its Housing Element to provide consistency with the
revised General Plan, as well as to comprehensively update the element as part of the 1996-
2000 SCAG cycle. While the SCAG cycle was ultimately extended to 2000, the City choose
to proceed with the Element update. Because the Element was only recently adopted in 1999
and approved by HCD, the State has indicated the 2000-2005 update of the Element need
only focus on incorporation of the new RHNA, as well as extending the Element timeframe
to 2005.

2005-2005 Irvine Housing Element (in process)
The City of Irvine is a master planned community of 43 square miles with a population of
135,000. The City has a long history of providing for quality, affordable housing intermixed
within market rate projects. CBA is updating the City's housing element for the City for the
2000-2005 period,and based on City Council direction, is re-evaluating several of the City's
current affordable housing policies. Specifically,we are evaluating the effectiveness of current
• "menu options" for fulfillment of inclusionary housing requirements, as well as current city
policies for mandatory deconcentration of affordable units. CBA will also assist staff in
amending the Affordable Housing requirements in the Zoning Ordinance to provide
consistency with the updated element.

component of the work program involves coordinating with the Orange County Council
1 (OCOG) in development of the City's regional housing growth needs. Other key areas to be
updated in the Element include: re-evaluating of potential residential sites; evaluation of
opportunities to fulfill portion of residential sites requirement through "committed assistance-

including senior supportive housing, large family rental housing, and neighborhood
revitalization efforts.

1996-2000 Maywood Housing Element
CBA worked with the City in 1993 to revise its Housing Element to achieve HCD compliance
through identification of additional sites for housing and expansion of housing programs. In
1996, the City hired CBA to prepare an update to the element for the 1996-2000 period. The
housing needs assessment was completed, and the element was subsequently put on hold due
to an extension of the existing element cycle to 1998, and again until 2000.
In 1998, the City again contracted with CBA to evaluate potential affordable housing sites to
offset the loss of a three acre City-owned affordable site which was now being proposed for
commercial development. CBA conducted multiple workshops with the City Council and
Planning Commission to develop concensus regarding suitable sites for affordable housing

1996-2000 San Fernando Housing
CBA prepared a comprehensive update of the City of San Fernando's 1989 Housing Element
as part of the 1996-2000 SCAG update cycle. When the SCAG cycle was extended, the City
choose to proceed with the Element and was ultimately successful in achieving HCD
compliance. The redevelopment housing strategy developed by CBA in 1995 formed the
foundation for the Element's programs. Other key components of the Element included
programs for expenditure of Federal earthquake funds, programs to address severe household
overcrowding, and comprehensive neighborhood improvement programs encompassing both
rehabilitation and new construction.
