CC - Item 2H - Housing Element RFP• E M F 5 O~1/J~ q 2. .,~'.~'~ ` ~~ O ,~~ --. ~~Q . /NCpRPORATED 1959 • ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER V "!~~'': DATE: NOVEMBER 18, 2008 SUBJECT: HOUSING ELEMENT REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL SUMMARY The State of California requires that all cities prepare and adopt a Housing Element every five years (Government Code. sections 65580-65589.8). The Housing Element must include identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, resources and constraints to address these needs, overall housing goals and policies, and scheduled programs for the maintenance, improvement and development of housing for all economic segments of the community. The Rosemead Housing Element was last prepared and approved by the State in June 2002 and must now be updated and resubmitted to the State for their review and consideration. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends the City Council authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP - Attachment A) to seek and obtain a qualified professional consultant to update the Housing Element in accordance with State Law. ANALYSIS The City of Rosemead Housing Element is 6 years old and must now be updated and submitted to the State for consideration: Although the State requires that housing elements be updated every five years, it is unlikely that they will penalize the City for not having an updated housing element within the five year requirement as there are several other local jurisdictions that are facing similar situations. Attached to this report is a list of all Los Angeles County cities that are required to submit a housing element to the State as of November 7, 2008 (Attachment B). Furthermore, it was the intent to have the housing element updated immediately after the General Plan adoption. 'Unfortunately, that process took several years longer than initially expected. Staff has now prepared a RFP to update the Rosemead Housing Element for the City Council's consideration. If the City Council authorizes staff to issue the RFP tonight, the results will be brought back to the City Council for consideration at a subsequent meeting., The tentative schedule based upon a November 19th issuance date from the City Council is as follows: ~~~+ ~ ~®• APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: O • • • City Council Report November 18, 2008 Page 2 of 2 • RFP issued Wednesday, November 19, 2008 • Proposal due~date; Wednesday, December 10, 2008 • Award of contract Tuesday, December 16, 2008 • Project start date, Monday, January 5, 2009 • Project completion, Monday, June 1, 2009 (Mandatory) PUBLIC NOTICE PROCESS This item has been noticed through the regular agenda notification process.

Rosemead is a predominantly built-out suburban community and serves as a residential suburb for surrounding employment centers such as Los Angeles. Most of the land area has been developed as low-density housing. .Rosemead is a working-class suburb with a diverse population base. According to the 2000 census, there were 53,505 people, 13,913 households, and 11,632 families residing in the city.

All insurance coverage and limits provided by Contractor and available or applicable to this agreement are intended to apply to the full extent of the policies. Nothing contained in this Agreement?or any other agreement relating to the City or its operations limits the application of such insurance coverage. 4.

Consultant agrees to be responsible for ensuring that no contract used by any party involved in any way with the project reserves the right to charge City or Consultant for the cost of additional insurance coverage required by this agreement. Any such provisions are to be deleted with reference to City. It is not the intent of City to reimburse any third party for the cost of complying with these requirements. There shall be no recourse against City for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the work performed under this agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City.

IhITRODUCTIOhI A. fViarket Setting Located in the San Gabriel Valley in Eastcentral Los Angeles County (see Figure 1), Rosemead incorporated as a city in 1959, with a population of 15,476 and by 2000 had a population of over 57,000. Rosemead functions as a residential suburb for surrounding employment centers, such a~s Los Angeles, as the majority of its land is developed with low-density housing. Despite being home to Countrywide Mortgage and Southern California Edison, the City has experienced relatively slow economic growth. According to the Employment Deveiopment Department, in December 1999, unemployment was about 6 percent and above the County average. Overall, Rosemead has a lower median income and a higher percentage of low-income residents than e majority of cities in the County. As of 2000, the City included 14,345 housing units of which approximately half are owner-occupied .units. With affordable housing prices and rental rates, Rosemead offers affordable housing opportunities to its residents with widely varying incomes. While Rosemead has a range of affordable housing options, there is still a need for affordable units with 3~ or more bedrooms fore large families. Rosemead also lacks newer, larger housing developments that would.- attract more moderate- and above moderate-income households to the City, households that currently look elsewhere for housing in the County. In addition, the City has an aging housing stock and there has been little new residential development in the last five years. Because the City is already predominately built out and the possibility of annexation of unincorporated areas is minimal, the City is focused on providing a diversity of housing options for its varied workforce by: • Encouraging infill development and the recycling of underutilized land; • Expanding homeownership; and, • Maintaining and upgrading the existing housing stock. B. Purpose of the Housing Element The Housing Element of the Rosemead General Plan sets forth the City's five=year strategy to address the community's housing needs. This includes the preservation and enhancement of the community's residential character, the expansion of housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community, and the provision of guidance and direction for local government decision-making in all matters relating to housing.

The Housing Element is a 7 '/2 -year plan, which for jurisdictions within the SCAG (Southern California Association of Governments) region, extends from January 1998 through June 2005, whereas the other General Plan elements typically cover a much longer planning horizon. Concerns of.the Rosemead Housing Element include the identification of housing strategies and programs that focus on: 1. Conserving and improving existing affordable housing; 2. Providing adequate housing sites; 3. Assisting in the development of affordable housing; 4. Removing governmental constraints to the development of housing; and 5: Promoting equal housing opportunities. Section 65302 (c) 'of the Government Code sets forth the specific components to be contained in a community's housing element'. Table 1 summarizes these State requirements and identifies the applicable sections, in the_ Rosemead Housing Element where these requirements are addressed. C. Organization of the Housing Element The City of Rosemead Housing Element is comprised of the following major components: 1. An analysis of the City's population, household and employment base, and the characteristics of the City's housing stock (Chapter II). 2. A summary of the present and projected housing needs of the City's households (Chapter III). 3. A review of potential constraints to meeting .the City's identified housing needs (Chapter IV). 4. An evaluation of resources that can further the development of new housing (Chapter V). 5. A statement of the Housing Plan to address Rosemead's identified housing needs, including housing goals, policies and programs (Chapter VI).

Relationship To Other General Plan Elements The seven elements, which comprise the Rosemead General Plan, are required by law to be internally consistent. Together these elements provide the framework for development of those facilities, services and land uses necessary to address the needs . and desires of the City's residents. To ensure that these needs are clearly addressed throughout the General Plan, the elements must be interrelated and interdependent. The Rosemead General Plan, except for the Housing Element (1996), has not recently undergone a comprehensive update. As such, this Housing. Element Update builds upon current State Planning Law and recent socioeconomic data, and is not entirely consistent with the policies and proposals set forth by the existing General Plan. It is anticipated that the 1987 General Plan will undergo a comprehensive update by 2001, thereby making the Housing Element consistent therewith. E. Public Participation Section 655$3 (c)(5) of the Government Code states that, "The local government shall make diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing' element, and the program shall describe this effort." City residents will have several opportunities .to recommend strategies and review and comment on this update of the Rosemead Housing Element. The Planning ,Commission will conduct a study session upon completion of the housing needs assessment to provide direction in formulation of the element's policies and programs. Once the State Department of Housing and Community Development has reviewed the draft element, two public hearings will be -held on the Housing Element. (one before the Planning Commission and one before the City Council:). Notification will be published.in.the .San Gabriel Valley- Tribune in advance of each hearing and outreach notices will. be posted in the Library, the Community Centers, the Post Office and at City Hall in order to solicit input from all economic groups within the community. Copies of the draft Element will be available for review at City Hall and the public library. In addition,. copies of the element will be sent .to the local school district. This is in addition to regular public outreach, an annual study session and public hearing held as part of the City's overall Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME programs. Housing needs are a major expenditure in these federally funded programs. The City intends to continue to cooperate with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Los Angeles County Fair Housing Council and the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission/Housing Authority in promoting equal housing .opportunity for all economic segments.of the community.

BACKGROClf~D it~i=ORMATiON A successful strategy for improving housing conditions must be preceded by an assessment of the housing needs of the community and region. This section discusses the components of. housing need -that is, the trends in the City's population, households, and employment base and the type of housing available. Since these changes have not occurred in a vacuum, the regional context is also presented. The analysis, which follows, is broken down into four major subsections. Subsection A, Population Characteristics, analyzes the City of Rosemead in terms of individual persons and attempts to identify any population trends that may affect future housing needs: Subsection B, Household Characteristics, analyzes Rosemead in terms of households, or living groups, to see how past and expected household changes will affect housing needs. Subsection C, Employment, analyzes individual persons in Rosemead again, in terms of occupation and employment sources as this directly affects the need for and location of housing. Subsection D, .Housing Stock, analyzes the housing -units in Rosemead in terms of availability, affordability, and condition. Subsection E identifies the assisted housing, units in the City that -are at-risk of converting to market rate units, since this directly affects .the amount of affordable housing available. Finally .Subsection F reviews. the City's energy conservation programs that affect utility costs and thereby impact the affordability of housing. This information can be used to help identify programs, which are needed to ensure that the existing and future housing stock meets the housing needs of every segment of the City's population. Analysis in each of these subsections provides a data base upon which decisions concerning programs and policies for the provision of adequate housing in the City can be based. _ A. Population Characteristics . _ The 2000 population of Rosemead is estimated by the California Department of Finance to be 57,328 persons, ranking it 35th among the 87 cities in Los Angeles County. As . illustrated in Table 2 and Figure 2, Rosemead experienced only minor population growth in the 1970's (3.9 percent). However during the 1980s, the City's population increased by more than 21 percent. This was due primarily to the resurgence of the Los . Angeles economy. The City serves as a source of housirig for the persons working in the .major employment centers of the Los Angeles area. In the early 1990s, growth slowed to 9.7 percent due to the economic recession and by the late 1990s, the City still had not fully rebounded. {11/1/00) H-7 November 2000 ROSEM LP Table 2 City of Rosemead ' !-Eicfnric Pnn~~l~tinn Pinatas OUSING ELEMENT 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 Total Po 15,476 40,972 42,604 51,638 57,328 Sources: u.5. rsureau or the ~,ensus, ~ ao~, ~ ~ ~ ~, ~ ~o~, a~ ~~ ~ ~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ Reports; State of Calif., Dept. of Finance, CitylCounty.

' According to the population growth figures of the State Department of Finance (as shown in Figure 3), the cities that surround the City of Rosemead (which include Alhambra, EI Monte, Montebello, Monterey Park, San Gabriel, and South EI Monte) grew from 418,159 to 461,400 persons between 1990 and 2000, an increase of 10 - percent; which is similar to the overall 10 percent increase for the County as a whole. Rosemead's population growth of approximately 10 percent also falls well within that for the San Gabriel Valley Council of. Governments subregion and the SLAG region as a whole (approximately 10 percent). (11/1/00) H-8 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN • HOUSE ELEIihENT Figure 3 Population Increase 1990-2000 The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) has assumed that Rosemead will grow at an approximate rate of 1.5 percent per year between 1994. and the year 2005, resulting in a total population of over .63,500 persons. This projection was based on region-wide trends throughout -Southern California and assumedthat persons from the Los Angeles and Orange Counties would move easterly into the San Bernardino/Riverside area. The SCAG projections run counter to recent rates of population increase for Rosemead, resembling more the years of high growth during the 198Os. From a historical perspective, Rosemead grew at a rate of approximately 0.4 percent per year in the 1970'5; 2.1 percent per year in the 1980's followed by yearly growth of approximately 1.0 percent between 1990 and 2000. - The Department 'of Finance estimates Rosemead's 2000 population at 57,328. Assuming Rosemead's population will increase according to SCAG's projected growth, the City's population can be expected to increase by 4,431 residents (7.73 percent) by the Year 2005 (see Table 3). Although much of the past growth in the area has been due to the expansion of the Los Angeles economy, development of other local employment opportunities may play an .integral role in the growth of the City. Among the evolving opportunities include the possible development of the Southern California Edison properties, the re-use of the vacant Chicago Title and Trust building and a number of minor commercial and industrial projects.

The median age in Rosemead rose during the time period from 29.2 years of age to 31.6. This increase in median age reflects a decline in the proportion of City residents under 24 years of age, and over 65 years of age, .and an increase in Iesidents between 25 years of age and 54 years of age as shown in Figure 4. With nearly one-third of Rosemead's population between the ages of 35 and 64, the proportion of elderly in the City will likely continue to grow as this cohort ages. This is consistent with the nationwide trend of an aging population. Figure 4 Rosemead Age Characteristics (19/1/00) H-10 November ZUUU ;.

B. Household Characteristics The preceding analysis of general characteristics assists in understanding the growth and change in the City that has occurred over time. Likewise, information collected at the household level provides insights ,into the community's housing needs. The Bureau of the Census defines a household as all persons who occupy a housing unit; which may include single persons living alone, families related through marriage or blood, and unrelated individuals living together: Persons living in retirement or convalescent homes, dormitories, or other group living situations are not considered households. Household Types In 1990, there were a total of 13,701 households in the City of Rosemead. According to the Department of Finance, the City had grown to 14,345 households by 2000, representing an increase of 4.7 percent during the ten-year period. Although 14.5 percent of all households are represented by single persons living alone, Rosemead still remains a predominantly family-oriented City with nearly 83.9 percent of its households comprised of families (see Figure 5). The remaining 1.6 percent of the City's (11/1/00) H-11 November 2000 . ROSEIiIfEAD ~ERAL PLAN • HDUSI1tfG ELEMENT households fall within the "Other" category, representing individuals .who share a housing unit and are not related by blood or marriage.

A city's average household size will increase over time if trends move: toward larger families. !n communities where the population is aging, the average household size typically declines. Average household size in Rosemead was 3.19 persons per unit in 1980 and has increased to 3.72 persons in .1990 (see Table 6). In comparison with Los Angeles County, average household size in Rosemead is larger. Between _1990 and 1999, average household size .continued to increase in both Rosemead and the County.. This increase can be attributed to cultural differences in relation to household size, privacy, and co-habitation of extended families: Larger households in the City will result in an increased demand for larger sized housing units and apartments, relative to other types of housing. However, it is not expected that construction will keep pace with demand as the City is, for the most part, built out. Since it is anticipated that household size will continue to increase in the City, the most likely method of accommodating this growth will be through the enlargement of existing residences.

Overcrowding reflects the inability of households to buy or rent housing that provides reasonable privacy for their residents. The 1990 Census reveals that 35.6 percent of the occupied housing in Rosemead were considered overcrowded, translating to approximately 4,876 units; this proportion is almost double the rate of overcrowding .evidenced County-wide (19.2 percent). Overcrowded conditions exist due to the lack of dwelling units for large families. Almost one third (32 percent) of all households in Rosemead are large families comprised of five or more members, as compared to only 17 percent of all Los Angeles County households. The situation is particularly a problem for renters. The majority of the City's existing housing stock consists of small or average sized units with 3 or fewer bedrooms. The predominance of overcrowding in Rosemead occurs in the City's rental, housing stock, indicating the need for larger rental units and/or rental subsidies to allow large households to afford adequately sized units. In addition, as shown in Table 7; incidence of severe overcrowding (1.51 or more persons per room) was highest among renter-occupied units with 2,114 cases compared to 91,8 for owner- occupied units. ~ ~ ~ .

Income The major factor that constrains the ability of households to obtain adequate housing is income. Incomes in Rosemead .have not kept pace with the rise in incomes experienced in the County (see Table 8). Rosemead's estimated 1990 median household income of $29,770 is 14~ percent lower than that for the County. This differential in income growth is reflective of higher residential costs in other areas of the County, which has attracted a more affluent population into these areas.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the State Department of Housing and Community Development have developed ,the following income categories and their definitions: • Very Low Income -less than 50 percent of the County median. . • Low Income -between 51 and 80 percent of the County median. •. Moderate Income -between 81 and 120 percent of the County median. • Upper Income -greater than 120 percent of the County median. The City's 1980 and 1990 income distribution .can be divided .into these four income groups through interpolation, as presented in Table 10 and Figure 6. Comparing the (11/1/00) H-14 November.[vuv ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSE ELEMENT City's income distribution in these two years provides insight into the changing income characteristics of the City's population. The number of very low income households in Rosemead has increased by 1,111 during the 1980-1990 period, representing a 40.8 percent increase, the largest increase of any of the four income groups. The City also experienced an 8:4 percent increase in low-income .households during the period. Of the City's 1990 households, 46.6 percent earned less than 80 percent of the County median income, as compared with 38.8 percent in 1980. Moderate-income households have experienced relatively little. change remaining at 21.6 percent of total households. Finally, though the proportion of upper income households also decreased from 45.2 percent to 31.8 percent, as the actual number of upper income households decreased. The change in income distribution in the City, and particular the increase in very low and low-income households, results largely from the County median household income surpassing that of Rosemead's. The City may also have experienced an in-migration of lower income individuals into the City over the past decade. Household incomes vary significantly among different geographic sub areas. in Rosemead. According to 1990 census statistics, the greatest concentration of very low and low-income households are located between Valley Boulevard and Garvey Avenue, primarily adjacent to the San Bernardino Freeway. The median household income in these areas is below the county median household income. To some extent, this concentration of lower income households may be reflective of the higher number of ,: renter households in this area of Rosemead.

Moderate and upper income households who are paying more than 30 percent of their income for -housing are likely to be first-time homebuyers who .have chosen.$o spend-more for housing in order to attain homeownership.. - The distinction between renter and owner housing overpayment is important because,. - while homeowners may over-extend themselves financially to afford the option of home purchase, the owner always maintains the option of selling the home. Renters, on the other hand, are limited to the rental market, and are generally required to pay the rent established in that market. The 1990 Census has broken down housing overpayment by housing tenure, as presented in Table 11. _ Of the total 4,430 lower income households in Rosemead identified as overpayers, 3,277 were renter households and only 1,153 were owner households (Figure 7)..Ttiis difference is largely reflective of the tendency of renter households to have lower incomes than owner households. {11/1/00) H-16 ~ November 2oQU ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUS~ ELEMENT _ Table 11 City of Rosemead Lower income Hoelsehofds Paying Greater than 30 Percent Cif Incnme Fnr Shelter Household Tenure Very Low Income Low Income.

An estimated 4,592 elderly persons (65 years and over) resided in Rosemead in 1990, representing 8..9 percent of the total population. According to the CHAS data book of 1990, this represented 552 renter households and 1,695 owner households. The proportion of elderly can be expected to increase, as those persons between the age of 35 and 64 grow older. Escalating housing costs, .particularly in the rental market, severely impact housing affordability for the elderly, who are usually on fixed incomes. While an estimated 37 percent of Rosemead's elderly are homeowners, a significant number of the .City's mobile-home park residents are elderly. According to the 1990 Census, there are 180 seniors whose incomes fell below the poverty level in Rosemead. Housing needs of tfie elderly can be addressed through conservation of existing mobile home parks, congregate housing, rental subsidies, housing rehabilitation assistance, and other types of homeowner. assistance for seniors in single-family and mobile homes. Currently there 'is an existing senior housing complex in the City, and a second complex proposed for construction. . Disabled: Physical disabilities can hinder -access to housing units of traditional design as.weli as limit the ability to earn adequate income. In 1990, 2.5 percent of Rosemead's population "reported having a mobility or self-care limitation, translating to 1,276 households in 1990. This .figure includes age-related as well as other disabilities. Housing opportunities for the handicapped can be maximized through the provision of affordable, barrier-free housing. Special modifications include.units with access ramps, wider doorways, assist bars in bathrooms, lower cabinets, and elevators in the case of multi-story structures.. Large Households: Large families are identified as a group with special housing needs based on the limited availability of adequately sized, affordable housing units. Large households .are often of lower income, frequently. resulting in the overcrowding of smaller dwelling units and in turn accelerating unit deterioration. In addition; large families often have difficulty finding rental units that qualify for the Section 8 Rental Assistance Program due to the larger units exceeding maximum rent limits, combined with the reluctance of some landlords to rent to large families. Approximately 32 percent of Rosemead's households. in 1990 had five or more members, translating to 4,421 households. ' (11/1/00) ~ H-18 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN • HOUSE ELEMENT According to the 1990 Census, there is a disparity between the number of larger rental units available in the City and the number of large households in Rosemead. As shown in Table 13, only 15 percent of the City's rental units have three or more bedrooms, while 36 percent of Rosemead's large households are renters. On the other hand, almost half of the City's ownership units have three or more bedrooms. The housing needs of large households can be addressed through the expansion of existing smaller units, and the provision of new, affordably priced larger units. The fact that the majority of unit overcrowding occurs in the City's rental housing stock indicates the need for larger rental units and/or rental subsidies to allow for large households to afford adequately sized units.

Female-Headed Households: Female-headed households tend to have lower incomes, thus limiting housing availability for this group. In 1990, 15.9 percent of Rosemead's households were headed by women, representing. •a total of 2,183 female-headed households (Table 12). Of these, approximately 1,043 (47.8 percent) have dependent children under 18 years of age. While there is no definitive data regarding the housing tenure of this group, it can -be assumed that low incomes preclude the option Of homeownership #or most female-headed households. According to 1990 Census data, 25 percent of all female-headed households live in poverty. In fact, 22.6 percent of those female-headed households with children under the age of 18 years and 13.6 percent of those with children below the. .age of 5 years live below the poverty line. Thus, providing housing opportunities for female-headed households involves both affordability and services related to the care of children, such as day care, schools, and recreational facilities. Farmworkers: The special housing needs of many farmworkers stem from their low wages and the insecure nature of their employment. The 1990 Census identifies that approximately 1 percent of the households in Rosemead are employed in farming, forestry and fishing occupations. Thus, housing demand generated by these farmworkers is extremely low, if not non-existent. Like other lower income households, the housing needs of farmworker households can be addressed through the provision of affordable housing opportunities. • (19/1/00) H-19 November 2000 ROSEMEAD C~IVERA N • F{OUSING ELEMENT Homeless: Throughout the country, homelessness has become an increasing problem. Factors contributing to the rise in homelessness include the general lack of housing affordable to low and moderate income persons, increases in the number of persons whose incomes fall below the poverty level, reductions in public subsidy to the poor, and the~de-institutionalization of the mentally ill. However, homeless numbers in Rosemead have tended to be lower than in many parts of the County. In 1998, the City of Rosemead Community Development Division, in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office undertook a homeless count night. The Community Development Division, in partnership with the Sheriffs office and the City's Code Enforcement officer, identified potential sites that were possible sites for homeless populations. These sites were then incorporated into a homeless count night. In that count, the City found eight persons, of which three stated they were not homeless. One stated that. he was an illegal immigrant here to work; one stated that he was visiting his friend and one stated that she was temporarily estranged from her family. There was one unsheltered female and no unsheltered children. The majority of respondents stated that they were unsheltered.by choice and had a place for shelter if it was raining or very cold. The majority of the population had .identifiable alcohol and/or drug dependencies. In 1999, the Urban Research group conducted a study of the homeless in the San Gabriel Valley. In its report, it identified 18 persons who had used emergency outreach services from the City of Rosemead. Of these 18, nine reported a permanent address and were not homeless. Based on the foregoing, the City of Rosemead estimates that its homeless population is between 13 and 16, of which approximately five to six may be unsheltered. C. Employment One of the factors -that can contribute. to .an increase in the demand for housing in an area is an expansion of the employment base. Rosemead's economic base is the result of the City's location near major transportation links (San Bernardino and Pomona Freeways) and its proximity to downtown Los Angeles. The State Employment Development Department identified 22,930 persons living within Rosemead as being within the labor force in 1990. Of this total, 21,380 persons were employed, resulting an unemployment rate was 6.7 .percent, which was higher than the County unemployment rate of 5.9 percent. According to data from the State Employment Development Department, the rate of unemployment in Rosemead increased to 7.5 percent by 1998, consistent with the increase in unemployment countywide to 6.5 percent. According to the 1990 Census, and based on the number of persons employed in the categories listed in Table 14; one-third of the City's residents are employed in "technical sales and administrative support occupations." The next two largest categories of employment are "operators, fabricators and laborers" (21.8 percent) and "managerial and professional specialty occupations" (15.4 percent).

Another measure of a community's employment opportunities with the needs of its residents is through a "jobs-housing balance" test. A balanced community would have a match between employment and housing opportunities enabling most residents to also work in the community. Comparing the estimated number of jobs in Rosemead in 2000 (20,300) to the number of housing units (14,313) indicates ajobs-housing ratio of 1.42 for the City. The fact that this ratio exceeds 1.0 indicates that Rosemead is providing more jobs than it is housing, reflective of the City's stature as an employment (91/1/00) H-21 November 2000 ROSEMEAD ~ERAL PLAN • HOUSING ELEMENT center in the San Gabriel Valley. However, a significant number of the moderate and upper income employees who work in Rosemead live outside the City. The City would like to encourage these workers to remain in the City by providing more upscale housing, however, the built out nature of the City is a constraint on this occurring. D. Housing Stock Characteristics With a 2000 housing stock of 14;345 units, Rosemead is a medium sized community in the San Gabriel Valley. During the 1990's, Rosemead grew at a slightly slower rate (1.3 percent) than other San .Gabriel Valley cities, including Alhambra, which grew by 1.7 percent, and Monterey Park that grew by 1.8 percent (see Table 16). The County as a whole experienced a growth rate nearly twice than that of Rosemead's during the 199b's. This limited growth during the 1990's represent a 64 percent reduction in growth compared to the 3.6 percent housing growth that Rosemead. experienced during the 1980's.

Housinq Type and Tenure In order to determine the extent of housing need in the .City of Rosemead, the analysis must include not only population, household, and employment characteristics, but also the type of housing available. Housing need is :defined as the difference between the type of housing required by the City's existing and projected population and the type of housing available. The size, price, and condition of existing units are the major factors - - _ - in determining suitability. The City's 1999 housing stock is comprised of 81 percent single family, 16 percent multi-family, 3 percent mobile home units.. As shown in Table 17 and Figure 8, the number of multi-family units increased by 4.7 percent during the 1990s compared to a 1.1 percent increase in single-family housing. However, housing construction is anticipated to slow considerably overall due to the built nature of this City.

Residential mobility is influenced by tenure, owner housing evidencing a much lower turnover-rate than rental housing. Housing overpayment, while faced by many households regardless of tenure, is far more prevalent among renters. Tenure preferences are primarily related - to household income., composition, and age of the householder.

By 1990, the City's owner-occupied rate had declined to 49 percent reflecting an increase ih single-family rentals and multi-family apartment developments. It is anticipated that the ratio of owner to renter occupied units will. remain relatively constant during the planning period. Housing Conditions - -~ As illustrated in Figure 9, in 1999, almost 74 percent of Rosemead's housing stock was 30 years and older,, with an additional 12 percent between 20 and 30 years old.

DILAPIDATED - A majority of buildings are structurally unsound and the properties present hazardous and/or dangerous conditions and are unsightly or appear blighted. Some of the City's housing stock has fallen into disrepair due to the inability of elderly and other low-income homeowners to make needed repairs. Although many of these homeowners may have substantial equity in their homes, they do not have the income to afford the necessary repairs. The City will continue to offer low interest rehabilitation loans to facilitate the rehabilitation of deteriorated units by these elderly and other low- income households, and should consider expanding the .assistance to include multi- family units. Additionally, through the combined efforts of the City's code enforcement, police and fire departments, the City is working to identify and abate such substandard living conditions. - (11/1/00) H-25 November 2000 SEM ERAL PLAN Housing Costs The cost of housing determines whether or not a household will be able to obtain an adequately sized unit in good condition in the area in which they wish to locate. In 1990, the median home value in Rosemead was $193,000, which was 22 percent below that for San Gabriel and the countywide median (see Table 20). Updated comparative sales data was obtained from the California Association of Realtors for October 1999.,. _ .- This information shows that housing sales prices have fallen Countywide from 1990 levels, with the exception of San Gabriel. At a $159,000 median sales price, housing prices in Rosemead in 1999 are still well below the County median, although the cost differential has narrowed somewhat.

According to this data, a total of 117 single-family homes were -sold in the City during this period, with 56 percent comprised of -three bedroom units, while 53 multi-family homes/condominiums were sold. The reported single-family home sales prices in Rosemead ranged from a low of $105,000 to a high of $180,000 for two bedroom units. The median price for atwo-bedroom home in Rosemead was $146,000. Three bedroom units ranged from $118,000 to $260,000, while the median home price for athree-bedroom unit was $173,000. Four bedroom units ranged up to $310,000, though the median was still around $200,000. Table 22 outlines the maximum affordable home prices for very low, low and moderate- income households. Maximum affordable monthly mortgage payments and maximum affordable mortgages are determined by taking _ 30 percent of the County median income for a family of four for each income category.

Comparing the sales prices for a home in Rosemead with the City's income structure, it is evident that there are homes available for purchase at prices that are .affordable to the City's low and moderate-income households. By assisting prospective first-time homebuyers with down payment and closing costs, the City is expanding the supply of housing that is affordable to these households. However, even .with such assistance- most very low- income households will be unable to fnd an affordable home.

In the 1990's, the City experienced growth in its multi-family housing stock, with an over 4.7 percent increase in .apartment unit construction, as shown previously in Table .17. Local realtors indicate that there is~a strong demand for high quality rental units in the City and that new units with amenities command higher rents. Location is also a key variable in the price of an apartment in Rosemead. ,However, the competitive prices of many rental homes in Rosemead have often led. renters to ...choose homes over apartments. According to rental agencies, single-family homes are the first to rent, while incentives have to be offered in order to fill many apartments. Above all, location appears to be a key factor in both the price and the likelihood that a unit is rented. (11/1/00) H-28 November 2000 ROSEINIEAD GE/JER,4L P HOUSE ELEMENT Using the guideline that households should not spend more than 30 percent of their income on .housing, the City's very low income, four-person households can afford monthly rental payments up to $641, while low income households can afford rents up to $1,026 (refer to Table 25). The range of rents available in the City can accommodate low-income households. but few, if any, very low-income households. Moreover, ,lower income families, which require larger .units to adequately accommodate family members, have a more limited range of units that they can afford.

Preservation of Assisted Housing. As required by Government Code Section 65583, the City must analyze the extent to which low income, multi-family rental units are. at risk of becoming market rate. housing and, if necessary, develop programs ~to preserve or replace these assisted housing units. The multi-family units to be considered .are any units that were constructed using various federal assistance programs, state or local mortgage .revenue . bonds, redevelopment tax increments, in-lieu fees or an inclusionary housing ordinance, or density bonuses. Low income multi-family housing is considered to be at risk if it is eligible to convert to non-low income housing due to: 1) the termination of a rental subsidy contract; 2) mortgage prepayment; or 3) the expiration of affordability restrictions. The time period that is to be considered in making this determination is the ten-year period following the last mandated updating of the housing element, which in the case of Rosemead is 2000-2010. Based on the information contained in the Inventory of Federally Subsidized Low Income Rental Units at Risk of Conversion, compiled by the California Housing Partnership Corporation, there are no federally assisted, low income rental units within the City that are at risk of converting to market rate housing by 2010. Similarly, the California Debt ahd Investment and Advisory Commission indicate that there are no rental units within. the City that have been constructed with the use of multi-family {11/1/00) N-29 .November 2000 OSEMEAD C~IERAL P _,q J~ ~ HOUSING mortgage revenue bonds'. There are 50 low-income rental units for senior citizens within the City (i.e., the Angelus I project) that were constructed with assistance from the City's Redevelopment Agency. However, ,these units are owned and operated by the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation which is anon-profit corporation established by the City to create.affordable housing, and will be preserved in perpetuity as affordable housing. ~ ' F. Energy Conservation As residential energy costs continue to rise, increasing utility costs reduce the affordability of housing, thus aggravating the City's current shortage of affordable units. The City has many opportunities to directly affect energy use within its jurisdiction. In addition to required compliance with the Building Code and Title 24 of the California Administrative Code relating to energy conservation, the City sets forth goals and policies that encourage the conservation of non-renewable resources in concert with the use of alternative energy sources to increase energy self-sufficiency. In large part, energy savings and utility bill reductions can be realized through- the following energy design standards: • Glazin -Glazing on south facing exterior walls allows for winter sunrays to warm the structure. Avoidance of this technique on the west- side of the unit prevents afternoon sunrays.from overheating the unit. • Landscaping -Strategically placed vegetation reduces the amount of direct sunlight. on the windows. The incorporation of deciduous trees in the landscaping- plans along the southern exposure of units reduces summer sunrays, while allowing penetration of winter rays to warm the units. • Building Design.-.The implementation of roof overhangs above southerly facing windows shield the structure from solar rays during the summer months. • Cooling/Heating Systems -The use of attic ventilation systems reduces attic temperatures during summer months. Solar heating systems for swimming pool facilities save on energy costs. .Natural gas is conserved with the use of flow restrictors on all hot water faucets and showerheads. Weatherization Techniques -Weatherization techniques such as insulation, caulking, and weather-stripping can reduce energy use for air-conditioning up to 55 percent.and.for heating as much as 40 percent. Weatherization measures seal a dwelling unit to guard against heat gain in the summer and prevent heat loss in.the winter. ' Per telephone conversation with Ms. Patricia Brubaker of the Commission on March 16, 2000., H-30 November 2000 (11/1/00) ROSEIt7EAD GENERAL PLAN ~ NOUSd~ ELEMENT • Efficient Use of Appliances -Each household utilizes ~a different mixture of appliances. Regardless of the mix of appliances present, appliances can be used in ways that .increase their energy efficiency. Unnecessary appliances can be eliminated, and proper maintenance and use of the stove, oven, clothes dryer, clothes washer, dishwasher, and refrigerator can also reduce energy consumption. New appliance purchases of air-conditioning units and refrigerators can be made on the basis of efficiency ratings. The State prepares a list of air-conditioning and refrigerator models that details their energy efficiency ratings. • Efficient Use of Lighting -The cost of lighting a home can be reduced through the purchase of light bulbs that produce the most lumens per watt, avoidance of multi-bulb fixtures and use of long life bulbs and clock timers for security purposes. ' • Load Management -The time of day when power is used can be as important as how much power is used. Power plants must have enough generating capacity to meet the highest level of consumer demand for electricity. Peak demands for electricity occur on summer afternoons. Therefore, reducing use of appliances during these peak load hours can reduce the need for new. power plants just to meet unusually high power demands. . Southern California Edison Customer Assistance Programs Southern California Edison- (SCE) offers a variety of energy conservation services through its Customer Assistance Programs (CAP). These services are designed to help low income, elderly, permanently handicapped, and non-English speaking customers control their energy use. All CAP participants must meet federally established income guidelines. Unless otherwise indicated; all services are available free-of-charge. An overview of available services follows: • No-cost Measures/Increased - Rebates based on Home Energy Survey recommendations, customers may be eligible to _ receive evaporative coolers, clock thermostats; andlor weatherization services. • Relamping -Fluorescent Bulbs -This program is designed to help customers lower the cost of meeting their basic lighting needs. • Evaporative Cooler Maintenance -Residents who have evaporative coolers may have them serviced to ensure continued efficiency and increase equipment life span. • Home Energy Survey - The survey is designed to identify cost-effective measures for the home. (11/1/00) ~ H-31 .November 2000 ROSEMEAD ~ERAL PLAN ~ HOUS{NG ELEMENT • Energy Practices Survey (EPS) -Those who want to learn how various household behaviors affect their energy costs may complete a simple questionnaire that reveals ways to be .more energy efficient. The EPS provides .customers with no-cost/low-cost energy saving practices acid offers a personalized prescription on how to use ener-gy wisely and safely. The EPS is also available in several languages. • Targeted Outreach - A variety of efforts to increase customer awareness .of energy efficiency in the home and promote utility-sponsored customer service programs: • Multi-ethnic Pilot - To improve Edison's multi-ethnic customer communications and good -will, outreach workers from a Community Based Organization (CBO) will contact non-English speaking customers within their own communities.

SUMf~IARY OF HOUSING NEEDS California's Housing Element law requires that each city and county develop local housing programs designed to meet its "fair share" of existing and .future housing needs for ell income groups, as determined by the jurisdiction's Council of Governments. This "fair share" allocation concept seeks to ensure that each jurisdiction accepts responsibility for the housing needs of not only its resident population, but also for the jurisdiction's projected share of ~egiorial housing growth across all income categories.. Regional growth needs are defined as the number of households expected to reside in a city, as well as the riumber of units that would have to be added to compensate for anticipated demolitions and changes to achieve an "ideal" vacancy rate: In the six-county Southern California region, which includes Rosemead, the agency responsible for .assigning these regional housing needs to each jurisdiction is the Southern California Association. of Governments (SCAG). The regional growth allocation process begins with the State Department of Finance's projection of statewide housing demand for afive-year planning period, which is then apportioned by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) among each of the State's official regions. . SCAG recently developed the Regional Housing Needs Assessment .(RHNA) model for the 1998-2005 period. Draft RHNA figures published by SCAG in November 1999 identify an overall construction need of 776 new units in Rosemead. Table 26 shows the income breakdown of these units. Table 26 City of Rosemead - Rpninnal H~usin^ Needs Assessment Income Level Total Construction Need Very Low Income 202 (0-50% MFI) Low Income 132 (51-80% MFI) Moderate Income 155 (81-120% MFI) Above Moderate Income 287 (>120% MFI) - Total 776 Source: SCAG RHNA Calculator, rvovemoer _i aay. Attempting to provide adequate housing for all economic segments of Rosemead's present and future population is a primary goal of the City. However, given the limited resources that are available, the City must target its programs and monetary assistance toward those households with the greatest need in pursuing this goal. The following is a summary of the major housing need categories in terms of income groups as defined by Federal and State law. It includes the City's share of regional housing need as factored into the RHNA prepared by SCAG pursuant to Section 65584 (~ 1/9/00) H-33 November 2000 ' ROS ;~,_ ~.. LP HouslN of the Government Code. The .City recognizes the special status of very low and low- income households, which in many cases are also elderly, single-parent, or large family households. City housing programs, focus on these .households. As summarized in Table 27, the groups most in need of housing assistance in the near future include the following: 1. New Residents: SCAG has projected 776 new households in the City between 1998-2005, translating to an additional 4,431 residents. Approximately 43. percent of these households will be lower income households. 2. Substandard Units: According to the 1995-2000 Consolidated Plan, the City has an estimated 2,626 substandard housing units in need of repair or replacement, representing 18.3 percent of the City's housing stock. An estimated 2,379 of these units are suitable for rehabilitation, whereas 247 of these are estimated to need .replacement. 3. Overpayinq Households: Sales and rental rates for housing units in the City are . at a level such that 4,430 lower income households are paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing. Certain households in Rosemead may have a more diffcult time finding decent, affordable housing, including the elderly, handicapped, .large families and female-headed households. These specific areas -expected growth, substandard housing, overpayment for housing and households with special needs -are areas where the City can target its efforts toward realizing its goal for the provision of adequate housing. In addition, through efforts to increase homeownership forfirst-time homebuyers the City. cannot only address housing affordability, but it can also assist in neighborhood stabilization. As part of a comprehensive approach to housing in Rosemead, the City can focus on promoting a range of housing types, particularly newer, larger units to meet the needs of its resident and business population.

CONSTRAINTS ON HOUSING PRODUCTION While the City of Rosemead recognizes the need for sound, affordable housing for all of its residents, this goal is not easy to achieve. The City itself does not produce housing, and its resources to encourage others to do so are limited. In addition, there may be physical or environmental constraints (such as flood and seismic hazard areas), market factors and regulatory requirements which impact the ,cost and amount of housing produced and over which the City may have no control. This section discusses potential constraints on the provision and cost of housing in Rosemead A. Physical Constraints The physical constraints to development in Rosemead can be divided into two types: infrastructure constraints and environmental constraints. In order to accommodate future residential development, improvements are necessary in infrastructure and public services related to man-made facilities such as sewer, water, and electrical services. Portions of Rosemead are also constrained by a variety of environmental hazards and resources that may affect the development of lower priced residential units. Although these constraints are primarily physical and hazard related, they are also associated --with the conservation of the City's natural resources. Infrastructure Constraints - J Water and sewer services are the major infrastructure constraints to housing production in Rosemead. Water: Water services are provided by six (6) purveyors in the City of Rosemead. Based on fire flow data received over the past several years, these agencies: have ~ ; - generally had adequate capacity to meet current development demand. Two smaller :... . . providers may .not have adequate ability to meet future demand; however, if the City.:.. .. finds that inadequate fire flow and supply does not exist, the development and/or water provider will be.required to provide adequate improvements to meet demand. Currently, the City is assisting -one of the smaller providers, which serves slow-to-moderate - income area in financing improvements to its water capacity and fire. flow through the . ,. , -. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Water is available to purveyors operating in the City from the San Gabriel Valley Groundwater Basin and from water imported into the area. The San Gabriel Valley Groundwater Basin is the only source of local groundwater available to the water purveyors operating in the City.. The Upper San Gabriel Municipal Water District (USGMWD) provides the City with its only source of imported water. Local groundwater accounts for a major portion of the City's water supply. In recent years, groundwater resources in the United States have been contaminated with a variety of pollutants ranging from pesticides to industrial chemicals and solvents. The San Gabriel Valley Groundwater Basin was discovered in 1979 to have groundwater (11/9/00) H-36 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENEf~AL PLAN ~ ~ HOU.~ ELEMENT supplies that were contaminated. As a result of widespread pollution in the Basin, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has classified the Basin as a "Superfund" site. Various local, state and federal agencies are cooperating in the clean- up of the Basin and applying stringent water treatment to ensure the delivery of potable water to consumers. Sewer: According to the City's Sewer Master Plan, with the exception of seven (7) identified locations, the existing sewer system is considered adequate for existing and future growth. Of those locations, only three are in areas of anticipated residential growth. As funding is identified, these locations are in the process of being upgraded as part of future Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). . The City of Rosemead is located within the Sanitation District No. 15. Wastewater from Rosemead is processed at the Whittier Narrows Wastewater Treatment Facility (Whittier Narrows WTF). The Whittier Narrows WTF is located on 27 acres off Rosemead Boulevard in the City of EI Monte. The Whittier Narrows WTF, built in' 1962, was the first reclamation plant built by the Sanitation District. It provides primary, secondary and tertiary treatment for 15 million gallons of wastewater per day. The Whittier Narrows WTF serves a population of approximately 150,000 people. Most of the wastewater treated at this facility is reused as groundwai~er' recharge into the Rio Hondo and .San Gabriel Coastal Spreading Grounds,: or for irrigation. . Public Services: Future residential growth in Rosemead will require additional public service personnel if the existing levels of service for law enforcement, fire protection, and other essential services are to be maintained. The nature and characteristics of future population growth will, to a large extent, determine which services will require additional funding to meet the City's future needs. Many of these new residents will include families that will impact schools and recreational facilities. _ _ _ _ Environmental Constraints The City of Rosemead is fully urbanized with the general location and .distribution of land uses having been previously determined. Substantial changes to the City's incorporated boundaries are not anticipated: Future growth and change in the City will involve the conversion or replacement of existing uses or infill on vacant parcels, and the only opportunity for measurable growth is through the intensification. of existing land uses. There are no environmentally sensitive areas remaining. The local topography generally does not represent a constraint to housing production. Other environmental factors that will be discussed include flooding and seismic hazards, as well as noise. Flooding Hazards: Four major Los Angeles County Flood Control District (LACFCD) channels traverse or are adjacent to the City of Rosemead, including Alhambra Wash, Rubio Wash, Eaton Wash, and the Rio Hondo Channel. Rubio Wash traverses the City from the northwest to the southeast before emptying into the Rio Hondo Channel. The Easton Wash runs parallel to Strang Avenue and is the northeastern boundary of the City before it drains into the Rio Hondo Channel. The Rio Hondo Channel is the major (11/1/00) H-37 November 2000 OSENfEAD G~RAL P HOUSlI~G ELEME flood control channel in the region and accepts ,.runoff from numerous flood control channels in this portion of the San Gabriel Valley. ' The LACFCD considers storm drain systems that are designed to contain less runoff than that generated by a 10-year storm as deficient. Many of the storm drains in the City are designed to handle- storm runoff based on flooding generated by 2- to 50-year storms with a substantial portion capable of handling storms waters that would be generated by. a storm of less than a 10-year frequency. The LACFCD identified 22 areas within Rosemead that are deficient in storm, drainage capacity. Very little existing housing or residentially designated land is affected by these flood-prone areas. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared Rosemead to be entirely in "Zone C", meaning flood insurance is not mandatory, on April 15, 1979. Therefore, FEMA has rescinded the community panel flood map. In addition, no flooding is expected due to dam or levee failure, and Rosemead's inland location eliminates the possibility of a tsunami or seiche. Seismic Hazards: Southem Califomia is a region of high seismic activity. Rosemead is aocated in a seismically active region as are all Southern California cities, and is subject ' fo risks and hazards associated with potentially destructive earthquakes. The Rosemead General Plan identifies numerous active faults in the surrounding region and buried fault traces within the City. Although there are no active faults within the City, there are four major active fault zones located within a 15-mile .radius of the City that could be responsible for :, considerable ground shaking in the event of a major earthquake. The Sierra Madre ~~ ~~ fault .zone is aocated at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains approximately five miles north of the City. The Raymond fault zone is located less than two miles north of the City and the Whittier-Elisiriore fault zone is located four miles southeast of Rosemead. It is believed that a possible extension of the Whittier fault zone may exist in the City. In addition, the epicenter of the 1987 Whittier Narrows .earthquake (magnitude 5.9) was. _ approximately one mile south of Rosemead. The San Andreas fault zone, the largest in California, is located north of the San Gabriel Mountains approximately 35 miles north of the City. Most of the City of Rosemead is also located within an identified .liquefaction zone.' According to the definition bf this zone, the City lies within an area where historic occurrence of liquefaction, or local geological, geotechnical and groundwater conditions indicate a potential for permanent ground displacements such that mitigation as defined in Public Resources Code Section 2693(c) would be required. Liquefaction if caused by a shock or strain from an earthquake, and involves the sudden loss of soil strength and cohesion and the temporary transformation of soil into a fluid mass. Older structures, as are located throughout the City are especially vulnerable to loss by liquefaction as (11/1/00) H-38 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOU~G ELEMENT they may not have been constructed or reinforced to meet earthquake standards. As buildout occurs, the older structures with new development built to current codes. State of California Seismic Hazard Zones, EI Monte Quadrangle, Official Map Released March 25, 1999 (17/1/00) H-39 November 2000 ROSEM PLAN HOUSING ELEMENT Noise: Residential land uses are ~ considered the most sensitive to loud noise. Development near major noise generators .requires special consideration in terms of noise attenuation that could add to the cost of development. Traffic along the regional freeways and major. arterials is the main source of noise in Rosemead. Other localized sources include schools/parks and activity related to various land uses both within and outside. the City's boundaries. Typically, noise due to activity associated with various land uses is of concern only when it generates noise levels that may be viewed as a nuisance or would cause noise standards to be exceeded on adjacent properties. Other mobile noise sources include trains and aircraft from the nearby airport in the City of EI Monte. -The major generators of noise in the City of Rosemead, include the following: • Vehicular and rail traffic on the San Bernardino Freeway; • Vehicular traffic on the Pomona Freeway; • Rail traffic on the tracks, that parallel the City's Northern boundary; and • Local and through traffic traveling on the major arterials in the City, including Rosemead Boulevard, Valley Boulevard, San Gabriel Boulevard, Garvey ..Avenue, and Walnut Grove Avenue. ~' B. iVlarket Constraints Table 28 shows the .major components. of housing costs are: land cost, construction costs, and labor costs. Table 28 .... - ~ 1..1r~e~c ir~e~ ('nct C~Pl rttrlATl PT~tC - - .. ~~~ _. .

Construction costs for wood frame, single-family construction of average to good quality range .from $60 to $85 per square foot, custom homes and units with extra amenities running somewhat higher. Costs for wood frame, multi-family construction of average to good quality range from $50 to $70 per square foot, exclusive of parking. (11/1/00) H-40 November 2000 R`OSENfEAD GEi~(ERAL PLAN ~ HOU.~G ELENfENT A reduction in amenities and quality of building materials (above a minimum level. of acceptability for health, safety, and adequate performance) could result in lower sales prices. Additionally, manufactured housing (including both mobile homes and modular housing) may provide for lower priced housing by reducing construction and labor costs: The cost per square foot of a manufactured house ranges from $45 to $55.. An additional factor related to construction costs is the number of units built at the same time. As the number of units developed increases, construction costs over the entire development are generally reduced based on economies of scale. This reduction in costs is of particular benefit when density bonuses are utilized for the provision of affordable housing. Land: Land costs include the cost of raw land, site improvements, and all costs associated with obtaining government approvals. Land costs vary significantly in Rosemead dependent primarily on location, zoning and the availability of infrastructure to serve future development. It is estimated that these costs contribute 20 to 25 percent to the final sales price of a new home.. Left alone, the escalating market price of land will tend to encourage mainly higher priced development. Higher density zoning could reduce the cost of land per unit, but land zoned for higher densities commands a higher market price. The Los Angeles Times report indicates that the median new home sales price per square foot (lot and improvements) in Rosemead is $141.' Labor Costs: Labor, which is included in overall construction costs, is the third most expensive component in building a house, constituting an estimated 20 percent of the cost of constructing asingle-family dwelling. ,The cost of union labor in the construction trades has increased steadily since the mid-1970s. The cost of non-union labor, however, has not experienced such significant increases. Because of increased construction activity, the demand for skilled labor has increased so drastically that an increasing number of non-union employees are being hired in addition to unionized employees, thereby lessening labor costs. Financing: While interest rates have fallen more than 12 percent from their near 20 percent high in the early 1980's, they still have a substantial impact on housing costs which is felt by renters, purchasers and developers. The decline in interest rates has enabled more people to enter the housing market. However, it should be noted that most conventional financing is now variable rate. The fact that lending institutions may raise rates to adjust for inflation can lead many existing households to overextend themselves financially. An additional obstacle for the first-time homebuyer is the downpayment required by lending institutions of between 10 and 20 percent. Los Angeles Times Real Estate Section, January 23, 2000 {11/1/00) H-41 November 2000 ROSEM PLAN f-{O(1SING ELEMENT Home Purchase Loans For Residents In Rosemead The median sales price for a three bedroom single-family home in Rosemead (1999) was approximately $173,000.. A $155,700 mortgage amortized over 30 years at an interest rate of 8.0 percent would result in monthly house payments of $1,142. All of the City's very-low and low-income and some moderate-income ~ households, would not income-qualify for the mortgage on a $173,000 home. Interest rates are determined by national policies and economic conditions. There is little that local governments can do to affect these rates. However, jurisdictions can offer interest rate write-downs to extend home purchase opportunities to lower income households. In addition, government insured loan programs may be available to reduce mortgage downpayment requirements. Under the .Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (Hf~IDA),. lending institutions are required to disclose information on the disposition of loan applications and the income, gender, .and race of loan applicants. As shown in Table 29, in 1998, a total of. 496 households applied for conventional mortgage loans to purchase homes in Rosemead. Approximately 56 percent of those loans were originated and 12 percent were denied, while the remaining 32 percent of the applications were withdrawn, closed for incompleteness, or not accepted by the applicants. The overall denial rate for -- conventional home purchase loans by income of applicant, shown in Table.29, indicates ~ ""~ ~ "~~ a similar level of denial for lower income (15 percent),. and upper income (14 percent) households.

C. Governmental Constraints Housing affordability can be affected by factors in both the private and public sectors. Actions by the City can have an impact on the price and availability of housing. Land use controls, site improvement requirements, building codes, fees and other local programs intended to improve the quality of housing, may serve as a constraint to housing development. Land Use Controls: The Land Use Element of the Rosemead General Plan sets forth the City's policies for guiding residential development. These policies establish the amount and distribution of land allocated for residential uses throughout the City. The City's Zoning Code implements the land use policies of the General. Plan by establishing development regulations that -are :consistent with the General Plan policies. The residential land use categories of the General. Plan, and the residential densities allowed thereunder are shown in Table 31. Table 31 General~Plan Residential-Land Use Categories City of Rnsemead Land Use Catego Maximum Gross Allowable,Densit Low Density Residential 7 dwelling units per acre Medium Densit Residential 9 dwelling units per acre High Density Residential 30 dwelling units per acre Residential/Commercial-Mixed Use Overla 14 d-Nellin units per acre There is a full range of residential land use desig''nations dispersed throughout the City. Densities range from Low Density Residential (0-7 units .per acre) to High Density Residential (up to 30 units per acre). A ResidentiaUCommercial mixed use designation is designed to encourage residential infill of up to 14 units per acre along some of Rosemead's less intense commercial corridors. The City helps to facilitate the development of affordable, single-family housing by allowing flag lot subdivisions. Much of the land designated for residential development is already built out. Additional residential development.. can be. accommodated through several means, including development of vacant/underutilized land, redevelopment, and recycling in areas designated for residential/ commercial mixed use. In order to facilitate development of units, the City of Rosemead has created amixed-use designation. This mixed-use designation expands the uses that may be allowed with the issuance of a conditional (11/1/00) H-43 November 2000 OSEMEAD G~~RAL P N O USll~f G EL use permit and include mixed commercial/residential .development . in designated commercial zones. Up to 886 dwelling units could be developed based on the .potential development from these sources. SCAG has estimated a future Housing need in Rosemead of 776 new units through the year 2005. Development Standards: Rosemead's single-family residential standards are very similar to those of surrounding cities. The Rosemead Zoning Ordinance sets forth standards .for presidential development that are summarized in Table 32. .Residential Standards for the .City are very flexible.

Under the PO zone, a professional office- development is allowed by right, as are multi-family, high-density projects. An analysis of the Glendon Way PO Zone Proposal shows that the PO zoning allows sufficient flexibility in design to accommodate high-density multi-family residential units. The subject site consisted of a 24,000 square foot, commercially zoned property located on Glendon Way. The Planning Commission and City Council approved a zone change from C3 (medium commercial) to PO-D (Professional Office with Design Overlay). The new zoning designation allowed the applicant to design a 14-tariff apartment .building with the required number of parking spaces outlined in the zoning ordinance (2.5 per unit). The analysis of the Glendon Way Proposal, which allowed 14 units on a 24,000 square foot lot, shows that parking requirements in PO zones do .not unduly restrict the ability to provide the number of housing units as outlined in this Element. Fees and Improvements: Various fees are collected. by the City to cover the costs bf processing permits and providing services and facilities. Almost all of these fees are assessed through a pro rata share system, based on the magnitude of the project's impact or on the extent of the benefit that will be derived. Development fees in Rosemead have been kept to a minimum, with per unit fees for a typical single-family project of approximately $15,308 (assuming under 2,500 sq. ft. and a $1,200 water connection fee) (see Table 33) for a project with multiple single-family residences. The fees for a single family residence on a single lot are approximately $10,000; these fees compare favorably with other San Gabriel Valley jurisdictions and present no undue constraints to development. (11/1/00) H-44 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN • f-{OU~G ELEMENT Building Codes and Enforcement: The City of Rosemead's building codes are based upon the State Uniform Building, Housing, Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical Codes with minor amendments. These codes are considered to be the minimum necessary to .protect the public health, safety, and welfare. The local enforcement of these codes does not add significantly to the cost of housing. Local Processing and Permit Procedures: The evaluation and review process required by City procedures ~contrib-ufes'to-the-cost of housing in that holding costs incurred by developers are ultimately manifested in the selling price of the home. The review process in Rosemead involves up to three. levels of reviewing bodies: Planning Staff, Planning Commission, and .the City Council Table 34 provides a list of average processing -times for' the various permits or procedures that may be required prior to the final approval of a project. The majority of residential developments in the City are single-family home subdivisions that do not require an environmental impact report, thereby expediting .processing time and costs. Project processing begins with the submittal of plans to the Planning Department. Applications for discretionary permits and environmental review may be submitted concurrently to the Planning Department. Average processing time for a typical residential project subject only to plan check and environmental review is two to three weeks; with. an additional six weeks for projects also subject to Planning Commission approval. While this review period is substantially less than in many other Southern California cit'ses, a project's review time can be lengthened through the appeals process.

In general, processing procedures vary depending on the need for an entitlement versus projects that do not require any entitlements. Projects that do not require entitlements include single family home developments within the allowable density permitted; multi-family projects within the density permitted, duplexes within the . density permitted, etc. The standard steps involved in this process are: ^ Applicant submits preliminary site, floor, elevation plans ^ There is a field review by the planner, notes and comments are returned for ~~'~ . corrections ^ Corrections are made for the Planning Department ^ Planner re-reviews the project to verify corrections ^ Applicant picks up and submits for Building Department Plan check Cases that require a tract or parcel map, zone variance or conditional ;use permit, go through the follow process: • Applicant submits preliminary site, floor, elevation plans ^ Field review by planner, notes and comments returned for corrections • Applicant submits four copies of preliminary plans with corrections and Design Review Committee meets (staff representative from Planning, Building and Engineering).

Entitlement cases that require City Council approval, such as zone changes and General Plan amendments require an additional 30 to 60 days to process through Council public hearings. Second units are allowed on properties that will allow a second unit by density. Otherwise, State law (Section 65852.2) addressing second units is followed. Multi- family projects not in the R-3 zone are allowed by right in the P-O zone or a zone change may be processed. Another alternative for multi-family projects `is to°request a conditional use permit for an area that has a General Plan designation for mixed use "Commercial/Residential." Processing times in such cases would remain the same as listed above. (11/1/00) H-47 November 2000 Efi~EAD G~RAL P V. HOUSING RESOURCES OUSIh-G EL The following section describes and analyzes the .resources available for the development, rehabilitation and preservation of housing in the City of Rosemead. The section begins with an overview of the availability of land resources, or residential sites for future housing development in Rosemead and an evaluation of the City's ability to provide adequate sites. to address its identified share of future housing needs (Subsection A). This section also presents the financial resources .available to support the provision of affordable housing in the community, and specifically identifies the amount of redevelopment set-aside funds that will be available during the planning period (Subsection B). A. Availability of Sites for Housing An important component of the Rosemead Housing Element is the identification of sites for, future housing development, and evaluation of the adequacy of these sites in fulfilling the City's share of regional housing needs (as determined by SCAG). Section 65583(c)(1) states that the housing program shall "identify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards .and with public services and facilities needed to encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for, all income levels...in order to meet the community's housing goals as identified in Subdivision (b)." - A community's sites are adequate if they provide realistic development .capacity at appropriate densities to accommodate projected construction need (as defined by the regional share) by income category. A summary of the City's residential development , potential is contained in Table 35, while detailed lists of the sites included in this..table . are presented in Appendix A of the element: Table 35 City of Rosemead r. ei _ ~_.. ~a__.. c...

Vacant sites consist of individual scattered lots in existing residential neighborhoods; there are no large tracts of vacant land in Rosemead. As shown in Table 35, vacant residentially zoned land can accommodate the construction of 152 additional units: 53 single-family homes and 99 multiple-family units. In addition to ("11/1/00) H-48 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HDU~Is ELEMENT development on vacant land, there is the potential for new residential development on sites that are currently developed at densities lower than those permitted under the General Plan and zoning. Underutilized sites zoned either residential (R-1, R-2 or R-3) or professional office (P-O), which allows the development of condominiums and apartments, are capable of supporting the construction of 815 additional housing units: 69 single-family homes and 746 multiple-family units. Part of this development is housing on a site identified by the Rosemead Redevelopment Agency on Garvey Avenue that will be developed with 72 units of senior citizen housing on Garvey Avenue at the Rio Hondo Channel during the current 7'/2 year planning period. In addition to these potential new development sites, 68 single-family homes and one duplex were constructed in Rosemead between January 1998 and- January 2000. Therefore, the City's total new development potential during the planning period is units 1,037 (967 new units plus the 70 units developed between January 1998 and January 2000). As part of the total numbers, the mixed-use overlay in the General Plan could accommodate 192 of these units. The majority of parcels currently developed at lower densities are considered underutilized due to the fact that they have not yet been developed to the maximum density allowed under the City's General Plan and zoning ordinance. ; Existing uses on these properties generally consist of one to three units, both permitted and unpermitted, however still generally less than the maximum density allowed. At the <_ - ~ . - . time these lots are put on the market, development practices demonstrate that they do recycle to their full development potential by maximizing the density allowed for the zone. The main market forces that affect the recycling of these parcels are the availability of capital at low interest rates to allow the developer to be successful through final. sale of : . the homes. This is dependent on policies at the State and Federal level that affect the strength of the economy, as well as the availability of capital at low interest rates. 'For the short term, the State of California has made a strong commitment to encourage the production of housing through its current administration and through funding from HCD. Other incentives include regulatory and programmatic concessions. The regulatory concessions include four "commercial/residential" mixed-use overlay districts that have been created through the City. These four areas foster the reuse of historically commercial areas to residential areas or a combination of commercial and residential uses. The land use element of the General Plan allows, through the issuance of a conditional use permit, residential uses within commercially zoned districts, if they are within the overlay district. This is in addition to the incentives detailed in the next section. The programmatic concessions include access to the Redevelopment Agency's First Time Home Buyer program by purchasers of housing units developed and/or resold within the community. This program provides downpayment assistance to low-to- moderate income households seeking to purchase a home within the City of Rosemead. (11/1/00) H-49 November 2000 ~OSEMEAD G~RA LAN Comparison of Site Invento-V with RHNA H'OUSIIVG ELEMEI~(T According to SCAG, Rosemead has a new construction need for 776 housing units for the 1998-2005 period. By comparison, the potential housing sites that-were available at the start of the planning period can accommodate the development of 967 new units _by 2005. Of these units, 284 are expected to be above moderate-income units and 683 are expected to meet the needs of very low through moderate-income households, as shown in Table 35. New housing construction is anticipated to fall short of SGAG's. projected need in above moderate-income categories by three (3) units, but net construction is anticipated to meet or exceed overall RHNA need. To facilitate this construction potential, the City has initiated the following measures. in an attempt to maximize the production of new units on the sites that are available: • Minimum Density The City's existing Zoning Ordinance encourages efficient reuse of the land. The only permitted uses in the R-3 zone are multiple-family dwellings, apartment houses (defned as three or more units), boarding houses, and accessory structures. In addition, nonconforming structures must be removed or modified so as to be incorporated as an integral part of one harmonious and coordinated multi-family development. • .. , Plan Approval :..Development of multiple dwellings in the R-2 and R-3 zones is , permitted "by .right." Developers are required to submit and obtain Planking Department approval of plot plans and development plans showing conformity with the code, but no Conditional Use Permits are required. • Planned Development Zone Multi-family dwellings are permitted in the PD overlay, zone. .Projects developed in the. PD zone are designed to be approved .. ~, under a .precise plan., which may permit lot and yard areas smaller than would. ordinarily be allowed. In order to increase housing opportunities provided by this - _ designation, the City has recently amended the Zoning Ordinance to reduce the . minimum site size requirement from 2 acres to 1 acre. • Development Incentives The City will immediately notify owners of those _ underutilized parcels that have been identified, of incentives that are available to ..encourage recycling. These include State Density Bonus law and below market rate financing available through multi-family mortgage revenue bond programs. _• Anti Mansionization Ordinance Any residential dwelling in the R-1 and R-2 zones - that exceeds 2,500 square feet of developed living area requires the granting of a Conditional Use Permit to control the development of overly large dwellings. • - New Lower Income Housing Construction The City has formed the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation and obtained Article 34 approval to undertake the production df 200 units of senior housing on two sites owned by the City's Redevelopment Agency. One of these sites has already been developed with 51 H-50 November 2000 (11/1/00) . ROSEIiifEAD GENERAL PLAN • FfOU~G ELEMEIIIT units of senior housing (Angelus I Project) and the second site will be developed with 72 units during the current planning period. Physical constraints have prevented this second site from being developed with the 100 units originally envisioned. • Infill Development The City of Rosemead's regional share of the need for above moderate income housing is 284 units. Since January of 1998, 68 new single- family homes have been built. Most of this construction has been in small "flag lot" subdivisions on deep narrow lots. The Zoning Ordinance contains provisions such as reduced lot size for interior lots, to facilitate this type of development. There are sufficient vacant and underutilized R-1 and R-2 lots to build 180 additional houses as this trend continues. Recent town house projects have demonstrated the market for very high' quality attached housing in the City. ~ Sufficient underutilized R-3 and PO sites are available to accommodate an additional 706, units through this type of development. B. Financial Resources There are a variety of potential funding sources available for housing activities in general. Due to both the high costs of developing and preserving housing and limitations on both the amount and uses of funds, a variety of funding sources may be required. Table 36 lists the potential funding .sources that. are available for housing activities. They are divided into four categories, including: federal, state, local and private resources. Federal resources are further. divided between those funds administered through the Los Angeles County Community Development Commission/Housing Authority and those administered by the Housing and Urban Development Department of the federal government. _ _ The following describes in greater detail the- three primary funding sources currently _ used in Rosemead =Redevelopment Housing Set-Aside, CDBG and HOME - as well as a fourth source -the County Housing Authority's Rental Assistance Program -all four of which could potentially be used to assist in the preservation, improvement, and development of affordable housing in Rosemead. Redevelopment Set-Aside Redevelopment set-aside funds are one of the primary sources of financing used for the preservation, improvement,' and development of affordable housing. As required by the California Redevelopment Law, Rosemead's Redevelopment Agency sets aside 20 percent of all tax increment revenue generated from its redevelopment project area for the purpose of increasing and improving the community's supply of housing for low- and moderate income households. This set-aside is placed in a separate Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. The Agency expects to deposit $1,200,000 into the Fund between 2000 and 2005. Interest earned on money in the Fund, and repayments (11/1/00) H-51 November 2000 OSEMEAD SERA LAN f-fOUSfNG ELEMENT from loans, advances or grants are returned to the Fund and used to assist other affordable housing projects and programs. ~ ' Housing units developed using the Agency's 20 percent set-aside funds must remain affordable to the targeted income group for the longest feasible period of time-and not less than 15 years for rental housing and 10 years for ownership housing. .However, there are provisions that allow for a term of less than 10 years if the Agency receives a fair return on invested funds. So long as the expenditure directly serves to increase, improve, or preserve the supply of low= and moderate-income housing, Redevelopment Law allows for a broad range of uses for the Housing Fund. These uses include, but are not limited to the acquisition of land or buildings, construction of buildings, rehabilitation of buildings, subsidies, and on- site and off-site improvements. The Housing Fund may be used outside the redevelopment project area {but must remain within the City limits),; upon a finding by the City Council .that use outside the project area will be of benefit to the redevelopment project. The Housing .Fund must be expended on housing that is available at affordable housing cost to households whose incomes do not exceed the low- and moderate_income level for the area. As previously indicated, Rosemead Redevelopment Agency is projected to receive ; -;; ~: ~ .:~.~:-:;:.°: $1,200,000 in set-aside funds by 2005. .The Fund's current balance is $6,067,163, resulting in a little over $7,267,000 anticipated to be available for housing activities during the 1998-2005 Housing Element period. According to the Agency's Implementation (AB1290) Plan, these funds will be used to assist with the construction _ of 72 . units of low income housing for the elderly and the provision of finaricial assistance to low and moderate income first-time homebuyers. To assist with the = ; implementation of such activities, the Agency has created a separate non-profit housing , _ _' corporation known as the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation (RHDC). The ~ -. RHDC serves as the conduit through which the Agency's set-aside funds are channeled - _ . into projects/programs.. The RHDC currently owns and operates 51 units of senior housing constructed with Agency assistance, and will be the developer of the additional 72 units of senior housing discussed above. The corporation also operates the Agency assisted First-Time Homebuyer Program. -. CDBG Funds Through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program, HUD provides funds to local governments for funding a wide range of community development activities. The City receives approximately $1,500,000 annually in CDBG funds from HUD which it utilizes to fund code enforcement, commercial rehabilitation and economic development, infrastructure improvements, residential and commercial rehabilitation, and social service programs. (11/1/00) H-52 November 2000 r ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN • HOU~G ELEMENT Home Funds The City. is a participating jurisdiction in the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program administered by HUD. Presently, the City annually receives approximately $500,000 in HOME funds from HUD. These funds can be used for a range of affordable housing activities, including acquisition, rehabilitation, first-time homebuyer assistance and rental assistance. To date, the City has allocated its HOME funds to assist with the construction of new lower income housing for the elderly and the rehabilitation of homes owned by low and moderate-income households. Housing Authority Section 8 Program The Section 8 Rental Assistance Voucher Program increases housing choices for very- low income households by enabling families to afford privately owned rental housing. The County Housing Authority generally pays the landlord the difference between 30 percent of a household's income and the fair market rent for a unit. Currently, there are 281 households receiving tenant-based rental assistance in Rosemead.

REVIEV1l OF PREVIOUS ELEfVEENT When preparing an updated housing element, each local government is required to evaluate its progress toward achieving the goals contained in the previous housing, element. This evaluation should include a discussion of the following: 1) the effectiveness of the housing element in the attainment of the State housing goal; 2) any analysis of the significant differences between what was projected and what was achieved; and 3) a description of how the goals, objectives, policies and programs of the updated element incorporate what has been learned from the results of the previous element. A. Objectives When preparing the previous housing element, the City used SCAG's 1988 (as amended) total housing need estimate as the basis for its quantified objectives for new housing construction. As shown in Table 37, the City's overall objective for new construction was the development of 795 additional housing units -for the period from July 1, 1989 through December 31, 1997. The breakdown of these units by household income category was as follows: .138. very love income (less than 50 percent of the median family income); 187 low income (50 to 80 percent of the median); 1'60 moderate income (80 to 120 percent of the median); and 310 above moderate income (more .than 120 percent of the median). In addition to the construction of 795 new units, the previous element anticipated the rehabilitation of 370. housing units and the issuance of 20 additional Section 8 certificates/vouchers between 1989 and 1997. B. Results As shown in Table 37, a total of 795 new housing ~ units were constructed in the City between 1989 and 1997, or an average of approximately 133 units per year. Based on information provided by the City, it is estimated that 17.44% of these units are very low income units, 23.5% are low income units, 20.1%"are moderate income units, and the ~ balance are above moderate income units. With regard to the rehabilitation of housing units that are affordable to low and moderate-income households, a total of 301 units were rehabilitated between 1989.and 1997. A combination of Community Development Block Grant and HOME funds were used to pay for the capital and associated administrative costs. A summary of the progress made in carrying out each of the programs contained in the prior element is presented in Table 38. (11/1/00) H-57 November 2000 ROSEMEAD ~u'.

The total number of-new housing units constructed in the City over the prior planning period was equal to the number of units in the City's stated objectives, after taking into consideration new construction and demolition, but the number of units rehabilitated was less than the number the City expected to be rehabilitated. The Los Angeles County Housing Authority was able to provide rental assistance to 125 additional households during the prior planning period, which is over six times the stated objective. The, housing rehabilitation results were due to a variety of reasons, including a general down-turn iri the regional economy, ,investment decisions made in the private marketplace and the fact that the City~s objectives were overly optimistic. The total number of units. projected. by the City in the 1989-1998 planning period were based on pre-recession housing production estimates. C. Implications of New Element In preparing this updated element, the City reexamined the goals and policies that give direction to the City's housing programs, as well as the progress that has been made toward their attainment. The housing goals that were adopted by the City Council in 1996 are responsive to the State housing goals and continue to reflect the desires and aspirations of the community. Hence, through the adoption of this updated element, the City of Rosemead has reaffirmed its commitment to these goals, while augmenting the supporting policies. In establishing its current objectives and programs, the City once again considered its experience over the past 9-year period. Based on this experience, certain programs contained in .the prior element have been deleted or modified while some new programs have been added.. Programs that were initiated, but are still quite pertinent, have been (11/1/00) H-61 November 2000 ROSEMEAD ~ERAL PLAN ~ f~fOUSING ELEMENT carried over and their implementation will be ongoing during the current planning period. Finally, since the quantified objectives contained in this element are based on empirical data,. -they are considered to be realistic and attainable and reflect the economic conditions and funding realities prevailing in southern California at the start of the new millennium. i (11/1/00) H-62 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSE ELEMENT VII. HOUSING PLAN Chapters II to V establish the housing needs, constraints, and resources in Rosemead. The Housing Plan presented in the following chapter sets forth the City's quantified housing goals, policies and programs to address Rosemead's identified housing needs. A. Goals and Policies The following goals and policies previously adopted in the City's 1989 Housing Element are still applicable and have been included herein to adequately address the community's identified housing needs. These goals and policies will continue to serve as a guide to City officials in daily decision-making. GOAL: .PROTECT EX{STING STABLE, SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. Policy: Encourage the rehabilitation of existing substandard units to bring them up to code and extend their useful life. Polic Encourage the construction of new single-family attached and detached dwellings using zoning and other mechanisms. Polic Preserve existing residential areas by using design measures to buffer these sensitive land uses from adjacent dissimilar uses. Polic Existing single-family units that require demolition must be replaced with residential units that will be compatible in character to the surrounding neighborhood. Polio : ,Conserve existing mobilehome parks that are economically and pFiysicaliy sound, and establish relocation assistance guidelines for .parks that are converted. GOAL: ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RANGE OF HOUSING TYPES IN A RANGE OF PRICES AFFORDABLE TO ALL ROSEMEAD RESIDENTS. Polic There shall be a variety of housing types and prices to accommodate a wide range of housing needs and tastes.

Polic Continue to cooperate with ,and support the efforts of the San Gabriel Valley Fair Housing Council to provide information and counseling pertaining to fair housing and landlord-tenant issues. Polic The .City of Rosemead will continue to support and assist in .:.... - enforcing the provisions of the Federal Fair Housing Act. B. Implementing Programs - The Housing Element describes the housing needs of the City's current and projected population, as well as the specific needs resulting from the deterioration of older. units end the special needs of certain segments of the City's population. The goals and policies contained in the Housing Element address the City's identified housing needs. -These goals and policies are implemented through a .series of housing programs- that are funded and administered through a variety of local, regional, State and Federal agencies. The following comprehensive program strategy consists of both programs currently in use in the City and additional programs to provide the opportunity to adequately address the City's housing needs. (11/1/00) H-64 ~ November 2000 RQSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSE ELEMENT The housing programs in this section include: programs which were set forth in the previous 1996 Housing Element; programs which the City- has undertaken since adoption of the prior Housing Element; and new programs which have been added to address an unmet housing need. Five program strategies have been defined for the City of Rosemead as follows: • Preservation and Enhancement of Existing Housing Stock Production of Affordable Housing Rental Assistance. Increased Home-Ownership Opportunities • ~ Equal Housing Opportunity This section identifies specific activities to implement each program strategy. Table 39 summarizes the proposed activities (1998-2005) by funding source, responsible agency, and the time frame for implementation of each program. STRATEGY Preservation and Enhancement of Existing Housing Stock Housing preservation is intended to avoid a degree of physical decline that will require a larger rehabilitation effort.. to restore quality and value in housing stock. Rosemead's rehabilitation programs assist in providing affordable housing by maintaining existing housing stock within established building safety standards. Rehabilitation assistance.. is provided to very=low and low-income households using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG} funds. These funds are disbursed in the form of low interest loans, deferred loans, or direct rebates. Rosemead also has a Handyman Program that provides grants to lower income, senior citizen households. Income for these programs: is based on the income of all persons living in the unit to be rehabilitated. Owner-occupied units are qualified on the owner's household income. Rental. properties qualify on,,:the tenant's household income. Discussion of Rosemead's programs is as follows: . • Low Interest Loans This Low Interest Loan Program is available to anyone who meets -the income requirements for eligibility. 1t offers low interest loans by subsidizing market rate interest for owner/applicants. These funds may be used for rehabilitation improvements and for room additions if overcrowding exists. The maximum loan amount is $35,000 with an 8 percent annual interest rate. Loans under $15,000 are available at a rate of 6 percent. Rosemead identifies applicants by soliciting homeowner, participation. In addition, the City utilizes -code enforcement to identify units in need of repair. Once-households are identified; then a CDBG representative provides assistance and guidance. A total of 18 households have participated in the Low Interest Loan Program since its inception in 1988. Of these loans, 6 were made during the 1989-1997 (~ ~~~~DO~ H-65 November 2000 ROSEMEA'D ~ERAL PLAN ~ HOUSING ELEMENT housing element cycle, which- meets the goal of funding two low interest loans annually. The new goal during this period is to achieve 2 loans per year by enhancing the program with additional HOME funds. Also, the City has replaced its lending partner, which should facilitate additional loans. Like Deferred Loans, this program can also be used for room additions in cases of overcrowding. • Deferred Loans The Deferred Loan Program provides loans up to $35,000 for units owned and occupied by persons who are: 1) 62-years of .age or older; 2) disabled or handicapped and qualify as low income; or 3) members of a very-low income family (according to Section 8 guidelines). Loans can be used for minor repairs or major home improvements, including room additions if overcrowding conditions exists. , Deferred loans are designed for maintenance assistance to special needs households. As a result, the City reduces the cost of providing housing for these special needs groups. Code enforcement and planning staff efforts will continue to' encourage participation ~in this program. Funding is provided through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program.. The Deferred Loan Program began in 1981. Since that time, 38 households have been assisted. 27 households participated in the program during. the 1989- 1997 planning period. Therefore, the City exceeded its prior goal of assist%rig ~5 ' `~" households. Rosemead plans to provide 25 deferred loans during the planting period of this housing element. • Rebate Proqram The Rebate Prdgram permits homeowners and property _ owners to receive a 50 percent rebate on a maximum of $5,000 in building materials that are -used for exterior home improvements. Rebates are' also provided for low income households up to a maximum of $2,500. This program has been very successful. During the 1989-1997 planriirig' period, there were 14 rebates issued. Rosemead will continue to advertise the program's availability. The City will strive to provide 15 rebates during .this . planning period: • Handyman Proqram The objective of the Handyman Program is to provide grants to senior citizens for minor repairs on 'owner-occupied units. A homeowner must be 62-years. or older and meet income eligibility requirements to qualify. The maximum grant amount is $6,000. There is an additional $500 available for weatherization work. A household can receive no more than three grants and there is a five (5) year waiting period between grants. There is also an emergency grant program for serious health and safety violations. The maximum amount of an emergency grant is $2,000 and there is a limit of one. per household unit. (11/1/00) H-66 November [uuu ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSE ELEMENT There were 234 Handyman grants made during the 1989-1997 planning period and ten (10) Emergency grants were made during the 1989-1997 planning period, for a total of 244 grants. The program goal is to provide 250 grants over the 7 '/z year planning period. • Code Enforcement Code. enforcement is used to help bring substandard housing units into compliance with City codes. Potential violations are identified primarily through citizen complaints. However, substandard conditions are also noted with exterior windshield surveys. Rosemead's Code Enforcement Officer works with the housing staff and property owners to identify homes in need of assistance. Property owners are informed of the steps necessary to bring their properties into compliance with City codes. Information about the housing programs is provided to property owners that are cited for code violations. STRATEGY Production of Affordable Housing New construction is a major source of housing for prospective homeowners and renters. Rosemead's Redevelopment Agency is .beginning, to pa,ay an, actue role in providing. new housing units for low'and moderate income households. ~~ ~ The. Agency's role in providing affordable units is particularly important since the land available for new residential development is scarce. Rosemead's. Redevelopment Agency had deferred payment of monies into its Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund. .However, within the past five years, the Agency incurred long-term debt with these funds. After incurring this debt, the Agency immediately.stacted utilizing its, deferred low and moderate income housing funds. The housing element programs outlined below are new programs for the City. They all work together to implement the City's housing production goals. • Direct Housing Construction The Redevelopment Agency has funded the development of affordable senior citizen housing. An approximately one-acre site located on Angelus Avenue was developed with 51 senior citizen apartment units. The Agency is now pursuing the development of a second site located on Garvey Avenue. This site, which is over three acres in size, will accommodate 72 affordable units and a recreation center. _ To provide for. the long term management of these projects, the City created the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation (RHDC) to take possession of the completed projects. The.RHDC leases the sites from the Agency for $1 per year. Rental rates are approximately $250 per month, which are affordable for very-low income seniors. The Agency will then pay the RHDC the difference between the actual rent and the fair market rent established by HUD. (11/1/00) H-67 November 2000 OSEMEAD Q~IVERA LAN HOUSING. ELEMENT The City also obtained voter approval for Article 34 authority in November, 1.991. This authorization allowed the RHDC to undertake the production'of 200 units of senior housing. As indicated above, 51 of these units have been constructed and 72 are currently proposed for construction: The program goal is for the Agency to construct 72 units of affordable housing by 2002 and to fulfill its Article 34 authority to create the remaining 77 very low/low income units available under its authority by the end of the planning period. • Land Assemblage and Write-Downs Rosemead will use both CDBG and redevelopment funds to write-down the cost of land for development of low .and moderate-income housing. The intent of this program is to reduce land costs so that it becomes economically feasible for a private (usually non-profit) developer to build units that are affordable to low and moderate income households. Rosemead will make every effort to provide land write-downs for residential projects that set aside at least 20-percent of the units for low and moderate- income households. The City, through the Redevelopment Agency, can assist in acquiring and assembling property; or subsidizing on-site and off-site improvements as part of this program. As an example, the City has acquired a parcel through tax default. That. parcel - - wilt be transferred to the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation°~:fo.r:.:° .: development, in accordance with the strategy listed below, "Non Profit Construction." The City is currently identifying additional properties in tax default and is also looking at foreclosed .properties as a potential source of available land. The goal is to develop at least two affordable units for new home ownership within the planning period. In addition, the City, will continue to implement zone changes to portions of the zoning map that are part of the City's long range planning programs.-Specifically, - the re-zoning of two areas outlined as Area 3 and Area 8 (see map in Appendix outlining these areas) to high density residential. Within the next two years the .City will initiate these zone changes and then promote these two areas in addition to, the remaining R-3 parcels outlined in the underutilized land -table to affordable housing developers. The goal is to promote and facilitate the development of affordable housing opportunities in these areas during the . planning period using a variety of mechanisms including: 1) RFP's for "specific plans" on larger sites, including mixed use development, 2) requests for smaller _ scale projects by developers on these sites. As Rosemead is a completely built- out community, this is one of the few strategies that theCity feels will accomplish the goal of re-use of land to affordable housing units, to be built by for-profit and non-profit developers. Although there are no recent examples of such zone change activity within the. Community, the City is confident that by upzoning upwards of fifty parcels (approximately 17 Acres) to R-3 designations, the market will bear multi-family units. 'The greatest advantage that this strategy provides is contiguous parcels that are more easily consolidated into single parcels. Both of (91/1/00) H-68 November 2000 ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ MOUSE ELEMENT these areas exist today with an inconsistent mixture of substandard residential units ranging from 1 to 12 units per parcel. Once the zone changes are completed, staff will set up meetings with housing developers to review the individual parcels and further strategize how the City will facilitate specific projects with the mechanisms outlined within the housing element. The 17 acres included in Area three and eight, will be able to support at a maximum 510 units without any density bonuses and 638 units if density bonuses were to be granted on all projects. The City is committed to this re-use strategy and will monitor the success at one year intervals after the zone changes are made.. If the strategy appears to not produce a range of affordable housing units the City will look at additional strategies to meet the unit requirements under the RHNA calculation. Finally, the potential for several other mixed-use residential/retail project sites currently exist in the City within the current zoning designations. The City has identified 45 acres within the mixed use zoning designation that it is marketing. and is currently meeting with interested developers. The City, through the . Rosemead Housing .Development Corporation, will use available funding mechanisms to assist developers with land assemblage and construction of affordable,unts.,and, mixed level income unit projects. Marketing is ongoing • Density Bonus State law requires a City to either grant a density bonus of 25- percent over the maximum site .density, along with one additional regulatory. concession, or provide other incentives of equivalent financial value based on the -land cost per dwelling unit if a developer dedicates: 20-percent of the proposed units to lower income households, 10-percent of the proposed units to very-low income households; or 50-percent of the proposed units to "qualifying residents" (e.g.; elderly}. This is intended to ensure that the housing development can be produced at a reduced cost. Developers seeking a density bonus must enter into an affordable housing agreement with the City to ensure continued affordability for a minimum of 30 years. Rents for affordable units cannot exceed 30-percent of the gross monthly income. This limit is subject to annual rent adjustments based on the tenants income. Rosemead will inform residential development applicants of density bonus. opportunities in order to encourage development of privately sponsored affordable housing and will create a promotional handout for same. The City will distribute the handout to developers, across the counter at Planning and Building and Safety. In addition, it will be distributed to the. Community Development Department for distribution to affordable housing developers. The City anticipates that the handout will be completed by June.2002, during the planning period.. (11/1/00) H-69 November 2000 ROSEMEAD G~ERAL PLAN • HOUSING ELEMENT • Non-Profit Construction Non-profit housing corporations work to develop, conserve, and promote affordable housing. These groups are often religious organizations interested in ,developing affordable housing, particularly for seniors (such as HUD Section 202 projects). A non-profit is often involved with "assisted housing", where some type of government assistance is provided to the individual households to keep rents affordable (e.g., Section 8). Housing corporations can work with assisted housing in several ways, including: Assemble Development .Package and Sell !t To Profif-Motivated Developer. -The non-profit is able to get affordable housing built while ending its involvement early. It can then move on to other projects. However, the non-profit can lose control over the development at the time of sale unless a contractual agreement is negotiated. Participate in Joint Venture With Protrt-Motivated Developer. -This usually performs the same as the fist method. However, the non-profit can retain more control over the development and gain hands-on experience while benefiting from the financial resources of the for-profif developer. .Under this option, the non-profit has a longer involvement and will have to ,...;. _.. _ . ..,... negotiate the nghts and responsibilities of the two partners. _ :~~-~~.' ~- ' '~~~ - Non-Profit As Developer -Under this option, the group must employ staff with necessary expertise or retain consultants. This option requires more risk, money, effort, and capability on the part of the non-profit. However, the group has more control over the development. A rion-profit can help meet the goals for additional housing by implementing or assisting with the implementation of programs described in this element, In Rosemead, anon-profit can own and operate Agency-assisted' projects..The City. will continue to support the Rosemead Housing Development Corporation and to seek opportunities with other non-profit. housing corporations to facilitate the development and improvement of senior citizen and other low cost housing. This will be done by providing technical assistance and seed monies to~ interested organizations. In addition, plans for such projects will receive expedited review, including payment of fees for overtime plan checking if necessary: The goal during the planning period is to construct 72 units of very low income housing by 2002 and to pursue an additional 77 units within the planning period. In addition, the goal is to complete 2 affordable home ownership units during the planning period. Sites for Homeless Shelters/Transitional Housing Rosemead has an estimated . homeless population of 15 persons. These persons are mostly (80%) substance abusers or mentally ill, and are predominately single males with a few couples H-70 November 2000 (91/1 /00) ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSE ELEMENT and single women occasionally present. No families have been identified _as homeless in the City. The City cooperates in a regional approach to homelessness and is part of the federal Continuum of Care and works with the Los Angeles Homeless Shelter Agency (LAHSA) with regarding to regional homeless issues. While there are no emergency shelters within the .City of Rosemead, there are services available. The closest assistance is provided by People for People, a .non-profit social service provider, located in the City of San Gabriel on the Rosemead border. They provide food, clothing, and shelter referrals. Currently, the City has the following services and shelters available: Assistance, General People for People. Anon-profit social service that provides food and clothing to individuals and families in need, including homeless or at risk of homelessness. Goal during the planning period is to expand services to include job outreach and opportunities. ' There are several churches in Rosemead, including Church of the Open Bible and Church : of ..the .Nazarene, that contribute food and money to People for People and direct persons to their facility. InfoLine. Provides information and referral services to persons, including the homeless. Homeless Outreach Programs. Provides information and referral services to homeless populations. LOVE, Inc: A Clearinghouse of churches and church volunteers who provide transportation, food, shelter and referral services. Assistance, Medical East Valley Community Health Center. Provides free immunizations, medical examinations, HIV testing and low cost health services. Shelters and Emergency Housing YWCA--Wings. Provides emergency housing for battered women and their children Salvation Army. Provides motel vouchers for emergency housing. The nearest formal shelter is located in Pasadena. Pasadena is located approximately 5 miles to the northwest of Rosemead. (9 9/9/00) H-71 November ~uuu ROSEMEAD C'~ERAL P N OUSING ~ Rosemead's housing element establishes a program for the City to coordinate with local social service providers to address homeless needs. In addition, the City will amend its Zoning Ordinance to permit the development of transitional housing in multi-family residential zones within, the time limit of the housing element. The City will also, by December 2003, process acity-initiated municipal code amendment to allow "emergency shelters" in any C-3 or M-1 zone, through the issuance of a "conditional use permit," (CUP}. This amendment. will then allow the City to work with housing advocates within the western San Gabriel Valley, such as People for People, to site appropriate locations for such shelters. Such services should be located close to services. The CUP permit process in the City of Rosemead takes approximately six. to eight weeks to accomplish the following: 1) prepare environmental documents, 2) notice the public hearing, 3) write the staff report and, 4) adopt a resolution of approval or denial. In the City of Rosemead, CUP's are approved at the Planning Commission level and only receive City Council review on appeal. The Planning Commission meets bimonthly:. Under Rosemead's Environmental Guideline Review for CEQA, any request for an emergency shelter would most likely only require adoption of a negative declaration or a mitigated negative declaration. i STRATEGY: Rental Assistance Rental- assistance is aimed at "ensuing: that,.aower income tenants do not pay more than 30-percent of their gross income on rent. Rosemead participates in HUD sponsored programs which provide direct rental subsidies to lower income households.- • Section 8 Rental Assistance Payments/Housing Vouchers This program extends rental subsidies. to low-income families and elderly that spend more than 30- percent of their income on rent. The assistance represents the difference between the excess of 30-percent of the monthly income and the actual rent. There is one program, known as the Housing Choice Voucher. Vouchers permit a tenant to-locate his or her own housing. They permit participants to rent units which exceed the federally determined fair market rent, provided the tenant pays the extra rent increment above the fair market. rent. Certificates are more restrictive and require a family to accomplish specific goals. Rosemead contracts with the Los Angeles County Housing Authority to administer this program. The goal for the _1989-1997 planning period was to continue subsidy to households, and extend assistance to 20 additional households. There, are currently 281 lower income households receiving HUD-sponsored tenant-based vouchers. Rosemead estimates that it will. secure an additional 20 rental vouchers over the planning period. H-72 November 2000 (11/1/00) ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSd~ ELEMENT STRATEGY Increased Home Ownership Opportunities Owning a home is usually not an option for lower income households. Although for-sale housing costs in Rosemead are some of the lowest in the region, incomes are also low. This creates a situation where buying .a home is beyond the financial means of most of the City's prospective homebuyers. Therefore,. the City will pursue the following programs to help facilitate home ownership opportunities: • Mobile Home Park Program There are can-ently twelve trailer and mobilehome parks in Rosemead. Most of the parks are older, located on major arterial roadways, and are inadequate to marginal in condition. Several park owners have requested to convert the parks into other uses. Rosemead finds that mobilehome parks are an important part of low-income housing. Therefore, the City will develop a mechanism to ensure that tenants, receive adequate noticing of a public hearing by the owners and notices of available programs. Mobilefiome park owners shall be required to file a report on the impact(s) of park closure upon the displaced residents, to identify replacement housing, and to determine relocation costs. Copies of the report will be given to mobilehome park residents at least 15 days prior to the' hearing on the park closure. The 'I~egislative body will also review the report and may require a condition to mitigate any adverse impacts. of the conversion. Mitigation measures may include any of the following: . A reasonable complete and current list of vacant and available mobilehome park spaces within a 20-mile radius. Full or partial .payment by the property owner for relocation of mobilehomes to another park. Right of first refusal by the residents to purchase the .park ~ and all improvements. Option of long-term lease on the land and purchase of the improvements. Purchase of the mobilehome by the property owner for tenants that cannot be relocated to parks in the area at a price mutually agreed upon by tenant and property owner. City staff vdill inform the applicant of these provisions in writing at least 30 days prior to acting on the application.. Staff will also meet with park tenants to provide outreach regarding the availability of housing assistance programs. Applicable programs include low cost senior citizen housing, rent subsidies, and the Mobilehome Park Assistance Program. (11/1/00) H-73 November 2000 ROSENFEAD ERAL PLAN ~ HOUSING EL Mobile Home Park Assistance Program (MPAP) This program is offered by the State Department of Housing and Community Development. It provides financial and technical assistance to mobilghome park residents who wish to purchase their mobilehome parks and convert the parks to resident ownership. Loans are made to low-income mobilehome park residents, or to organizations formed by the park residents, to own and/or operate their mobilehome parks. Then the residents control their own housing costs. Loans are limited to 50- percent of the purchase price plus the conversion costs. They are awarded by the State on a competitive basis. Applications must be completed by the residents and a local public entity as co-applicants. The City vvill serve as co-applicant for any resident organizations applying to the State for funding. This is an important program to allow tenants to maintain control over housing costs. An outreach program will be conducted within one year of the housing element's adoption to. advertise the availability of this program. HOME Ownership Program A portion of the City's HOME dollars can be used to fund a home ownership program using~~HOME funds. Such a program would be modeled on the City's Redevelopment Agency program; but targeted at households below 80% of median income: Such -a program` ~v~duld` have'' a ' recapture and/or equity share component. Rosemead is currently developing such a program, modeled on the existing .Agency Home Ownership program, for adoption in early 2001. • Single Family Mortgaqe Revenue Bonds Mortgage revenue bonds are issued by the County to support the development of .single family houain_g _ for. low-::and moderate-income households. Single-family mortgage revenue bonds are -used to finance the ,purchase of owner-occupied homes. .Proceeds from. the .bond sales are used to make mortgage loans to qualified .low= and moderate-income . buyers. The bonds are serviced and repaid from the mortgage payments made by the property owners. Rosemead will market the availability of these funds. Reverse Mortgaqe Program The most substantial asset of most elderly home owners is their home. This asset usually increases significantly in .Value wifh inflation. Although this provides a rich asset base, many elderly homeowners become. income poor upon retirement and a fixed income.' This constraint is amplified when one adds increased home maintenance repairs with the house's age, rising utility costs, insurance and taxes. The result is that these costs are deferred creating an unsafe and often depressing living environment. One alternative is for elderly homeowners to draw needed funds from the accumulated equity in their homes through a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage is a deferred payment loan or a series of such loans with the home pledged as security. Most reverse mortgage programs permit homeowners to H-74 Novem6.er 2000 (11/1/00) ROSEMEAD GENERAL PLAN ~ HOUSE ELEMENT borrow up to 80-percent of the assessed. value of their property. .They can receive needed principal of up to 25-percent of the loan, and then receive monthly annuity payments for the life of the loan. Qualification for the loan is based primarily on property value. This allows an elderly homeowner on a fixed income to receive a laan for which they would not otherwise qualify. The City will work with existing social service groups on establishing a reverse mortgage program for seniors. Social service groups could facilitate the initiation of the loans as follows: Provide education and counseling services to , seniors interested in pursuing a reverse mortgage. Work with local lending institutions, which currently provide -these loans to gain a thorough understanding of the application process. Work with the seniors to complete the loan applications and assist in providing any other necessary information to the bank. STRATEGY- Equal Housing Opportunity Rosemead desires to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community.
