An important
objective of the FY 2011-13 City Council Priorities and City
Manager’s Action Plan is the adoption of an update to the
Housing Element that will address housing needs for all segments of
the community, and do so in a manner consistent with state statutes
on housing element content.
The City’s
housing consultant, Karen Warner of Karen Warner Associates, is
working with staff to finalize the City’s Housing Element update
that will include the following major components consistent with
state law:
-
An assessment
of the City’s housing needs in light of Temple City’s share of
the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) as
determined by the Southern California Association of Governments
(“SCAG”) for all cities in the region;
-
An inventory
of resources to meet housing needs and an analysis of the
constraints that impede public and private sector efforts to
meet the needs;
-
A statement
of the City’s goals, quantified objectives and policies relative
to the construction, rehabilitation, conservation and
preservation of housing in the community; and,
-
An
implementation program that sets forth a schedule of actions
which the City is undertaking or intends to undertake to
implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of
the housing element. These goals, policies and programs
were formed through a public participation process conducted by
the City, and reflect the recommendations of the Housing Task
Committee and the Planning Commission. The programs have been
further refined in response to two rounds of prior comments from
the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).
Subsequent to HCD
review, the City will schedule noticed public hearings to be
conducted separately by the Planning Commission and the City Council
to consider adoption of the Housing Element update.
Upon adoption, the City will submit
the final Element to HCD for certification. State certification of
Temple City’s Housing Element will not only demonstrate that the
City is operating on a firm legal basis in compliance with state
law, but will also greatly facilitate the next required periodic
update of the Element, and keep the City eligible and competitive
for state planning grants. |
