SECTION 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CIVIC
SOLUTIONS
We understand that the City desires a qualified consultant to assist in an update
the 2002 -2008 Housing Element for the next planning period, including conducting
community workshops and preparing environmental documentation. The City
desires completion of the update to allow for the Council's adoption of the Final
Housing Element by June 1, 2009.
Although the City's update timeframe exceeds State HCD's update schedule for
the SCAG region by approximately one year, CIVIC SOLUTIONS is equipped to
commit to an aggressive schedule to ensure adoption of the Housing Element by
the City's June 2009 target. The update will need to address changes in state
Housing Element law since adoption of the current Housing Element, including
legislation pertaining to the need for homeless shelters (SB 2), analysis of housing
needs for extremely low income households (AB 2634), inventory of sites for new
housing and determination whether this inventory can accommodate the regional
housing need (AB2348).
The Housing Element update will need to address these challenges, but also
confirm and modify, if necessary, existing programs in light of the current
economic climate and their continuing effectiveness. Past and planned uses of
the Redevelopment Agency's Low and Moderate Income Housing Fund will also be
evaluated and integrated, as appropriate, into the Housing Element programs.
The City's aggressive schedule will help to control costs. CIVIC SOLUTIONS
will also contribute to controlling costs by delegating some technical tasks,
as appropriate, to our Associate Planner team member. Finally, costs can be
managed by adhering closely to the requirements of state law, without adding
additional, optional analysis or programs.
Environmental review will be conducted upon acceptance of a Preliminary Draft
Element. Based on our previous experience with Housing Element updates, we
anticipate preparing a Negative Declaration or Mitigated Negative Declaration
for the project. Upon request, we would be pleased to provide you with examples
of previous environmental documents prepared for projects of this type.
We foresee the primary challenge to accommodating the RHNA (particularly
the 309 units in the low- and very low- income categories), to be the City's
essentially built -out environment. The land inventory will need to look at closely
at development opportunities on underutilized sites. Close coordination with the
City's Redevelopment Implementation Plan, including use of the low- moderate
income housing fund, may be warranted.
CIVIC SOLUTIONS is committed to providing the City with our highest skilled
staff resources, and maintaining our excellent track record of providing our
clients with timely and professional services. I believe our firm's experience
working with a wide variety of jurisdictions throughout California on their General
Plans, specific plans and other public policy documents enables us to help the
City prepare a well- written Housing Element that meets your objectives and also
receives state certification. Because CIVIC SOLUTIONS is headquartered in Los
Angeles /Orange County area, and our project team members live in this region,
our staff and services will be prompt and accessible to City staff.

Scope of Work and Schedule
Task 1
Project Initiation
Following authorization to proceed, the first step will be to meet with City staff
to gain a complete understanding of the Housing Element update project, review
the work program and make any necessary refinements, and refine the project
schedule to meet the City's needs. Data needs and the respective expectations
and responsibilities of City staff and the consultant team will be clarified. It
is assumed that the City will provide us with an MIS Word document file of the
2002 -2008 Housing Element and related documents upon commencement of the
project.

Task 2
Evaluation of the Current Housing Element
This task involves the review and evaluation of the current (2002 -2008)
Housing Element, including appropriateness of goals and policies, the
effectiveness of programs, and the City's progress in meeting quantified
objectives. It is important to identify any areas where policy or program
refinements would be appropriate to make the Housing Element more effective
in achieving the City's objectives.
Since much of the information needed for this evaluation is contained in City
files and documents, the budget assumes that City staff will assist CIVIC
SOLUTIONS by gathering and compiling the following information. We will
provide templates to assist staff in this effort.
Units produced by type and income category
Units demolished and replaced by income category
Units rehabilitated or conserved
Status of housing program actions. The effectiveness of the
2002 -2008 program actions in meeting the regional housing needs
will need to be assessed.
Units produced, demolished /replaced and rehabilitated /conserved within the
City's Redevelopment Project Areas will also be tabulated and discussed.

Task 3
Research and Analysis
This task encompasses the research, data compilation, and analysis necessary
to update the required sections of the Housing Element, which include the Needs
Assessment, Resources and Opportunities, Constraints, Goals, Policies, and
Quantified Objectives. The findings from this analysis will be summarized in a
Technical Report, and will play a key role in framing policy issues and developing
the Housing Plan for the 2009 Element. Specific topics to be addressed in this
task are described below.
3.1 Needs Assessment
The needs assessment will include all of the items required by California
Government Code Section 65583(a) and Department of Housing and Community
Development guidelines. The 1990 Census data and projections in the current
Housing Element will be updated with 2000 Census data. More recent, readily
available public agency data will be incorporated where appropriate. Local
real estate market data, including rental market data, will also be updated.
Collaboration with state and local agencies is integral to the data collection and
analysis process. The Assessment will address the following specific items:
• Analysis of population and employment trends and existing and
projected housing needs for all income levels, including extremely low
income households pursuant to AB 2634. As indicated, data from the
2000 Census will be used, except where more recent data is readily
available. Income characteristics specific to the City of Rosemead will
also be discussed, provided that local data is available.
• Analysis of household characteristics including level of payment
compared to ability to pay, and housing characteristics, including
overcrowding, affordability levels and housing stock conditions.
• Analysis of special housing needs, including large families, elderly,
female- headed households, persons with disabilities, and the homeless
This analysis will also address how the City complies with the
requirements of recent homeless facilities legislation (SB 2 of 2007).
Sources for this data will include the Los Angeles County Consolidated
Plan and the 2008 Homeless Count.
• Analysis of "at -risk" assisted housing developments. The budget
assumes that City staff will assist Civic Solutions by gathering
information on locally assisted housing projects in the City and their
eligibility to convert to market -rate. If it is determined that there are
units at risk, the required analysis will be conducted as an optional task.
• Housing conditions data — if sufficient information is not available
from code enforcement staff and other existing sources, a targeted
"windshield" survey may be required of selected neighborhoods to
estimate the number of units in need of minor rehab, major structural
rehab, or replacement. If necessary, this survey can be conducted by
Civic Solutions' staff as an optional task with a supplemental budget.
CIVIC SOLUTIONS 6
CIVIC
SOLUTIONS
3.2 Resources and Opportunities
The analysis of resources and opportunities will focus on the following topics.
Potential sites for future housing and an evaluation of the relationship
of zoning and public facilities to serve these sites. We recognize that
the City of Rosemead is essentially built -out. Therefore, this analysis
will focus primarily on underutilized sites to accommodate the regional
housing needs.
• Financial and administrative resources, including federal, state and
local housing assistance programs. The City's current Down Payment
Assistance and First Time Homebuyer Programs, and Rental Assistant
Program will be discussed. The Redevelopment Agency Low- Moderate
Income Housing Set -Aside Fund will also be discussed, including
expenditure plans contained in the Implementation Plan.
Analysis of opportunities for energy conservation /green practices.
The City's current energy conservation programs will be summarized.
Opportunities can be considered to revise energy efficiency standards
for new housing development, remodeling, or as part of housing
rehabilitation programs. Due to increased focus by state HCD on
greenhouse gas emissions as part of its Housing Element review
process, we suggest that implementation programs be considered to
mitigate greenhouse gas emissions through housing project -level and
subdivision -level design standards.
The analysis of available housing sites is a critical component of the Housing
Element. The budget assumes that City staff will assist CIVIC SOLUTIONS in
gathering or updating the following information.
• Parcel- specific matrix of existing land use by zoning designation
(vacant /underutilized) suitable for housing development.
• Map (provided by the City), showing vacant /underutilized parcels with
the potential for housing development.
If insufficient vacant or underutilized sites at suitable densities are not
available to meet the current regional needs requirement, program options for
making additional sites available will need to be evaluated. This may include
an "adequate sites program" with commitments to regulatory changes and
financial incentives to assist in accommodating lower income housing needs.
3.3 Constraints
Constraints on the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing for
all income levels will be studied, and organized as follows:
Governmental constraints, including land use plans and regulations, zoning,
development standards, improvement requirements, impact fees and processing
procedures. The budget assumes that City of Rosemead staff will assist in this
process by identifying any changes to City zoning, development standards, and
other potential governmental constraints that have occurred since the 2002 -2008
Housing Element was prepared, including any subsequent amendments.
CIVIC SOLUTIONS 7 ll
rr�
Non governmental constraints, including market contstraints ( i.e., land cost,
construction cost, financing cost and availability, environmental conditions (e.g.,
earthquake faults, unstable slopes /landslide areas, floodplains, and infrastructure
(particularly water and wastewater treatment capacity). The budget assumes
that Planning, Building & Safety, and Engineering /Public Works Divisions will
provide the information needed to assess infrastructure capacity constraints.
3.4 Goals, Policies, Programs and Quantified Objectives
The foregoing analysis of needs, resources, opportunities and constraints,
together with the evaluation of the current Housing Element, will provide guidance
in identifying areas where previous policies and programs may need to be refined
to better accomplish the City's objectives including accommodation of the City's
780 -unit RHNA. CIVIC SOLUTIONS will work with City staff and decision - makers
to refine policies and programs as necessary. Consideration will also be given
to current economic conditions, including the real estate and labor markets. In
consultation with City staff and policy- makers, an updated Housing Plan will
be developed taking into account all of the foregoing analyses and describing
policies, programs, funding sources, responsible parties, and timeframes for the
next planning period.
3.5 Technical Report
A consolidated Technical Report with data and findings from Tasks 3.1 through
3.4, including a summary of the findings, will be prepared for review by staff. We
also recommend that the Technical Report summary be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and City Council at a joint workshop as early as possible during the
update process. The purpose of this report is to present the key findings from
the analyses in a format that allows the public and decision - makers to clearly
understand the City's housing policy issues, options and legal constraints. The
relationship between the regional housing needs and the City's capacity for
future housing development based on land use plans, zoning, and development
standards will be a key component of the report. A supporting slide (PowerPoint)
presentation will also be produced.

Task 4 entails production of the Draft Housing Element document for review
by City decision - makers, the public, and State HCD. This will be followed by
revisions to the draft element in response to comments from state HCD.

4.1 Preliminary Draft and Public Review Draft Housing Element
The Draft Housing Element will incorporate comments from staff on the Technical
Report, and input from the Planning Commission and the City Council. A
"Preliminary" Draft Element will incorporate City staff input technical data and
analysis from the previous tasks, including updated on the Technical Report,
including updated goals, policies, programs and quantified objectives describing
the City's housing strategy for the 2008 -2014 planning period. Policies and
programs will be based on the review of the City's progress in implementing
the 2002 -2008 Housing Element, and where appropriate, refinements will be
recommended. A consistency analysis of the updated Housing Element, the
Redevelopment Plan and other General Plan elements will be included in the
appendix. The budget assumes that all Planning Commission /City Council
comments on the Preliminary Draft will be incorporated into a "Public Review"
Draft. An Executive Summary will be submitted concurrent with the Preliminary
Draft to assist staff and decision - makers in their review. The City Council will not
adopt the Housing Element Update at this stage, but will authorize submittal of
the Draft Housing Element to the State HCD and to the public.
The Public Review Draft Housing Element submitted to state HCD will retain most
of the chapter headings and general format of the 2002 -2008 Housing Element,
with additional tables, income categories (e.g., extremely low income), and
policies /programs, as appropriate.
The budget assumes that CIVIC SOLUTIONS staff will submit the draft element
to HCD for their review, as indicated by the RFP. It is assumed that the City will
provide the required land inventory map exhibit.

4.2 Preliminary Final Housing Element
The ultimate goal of the Housing Element update process is to adopt and
implement an element that both meets the City's objectives and also is certified
by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). An
HCD Finding of Compliance ( "certification') of the Housing Element is important
for several reasons — to maintain eligibility for grant funds, to ensure a legally -
adequate General Plan, and to maintain local control of the land use planning
process.
After HCD reviews and comments on the Draft Housing Element, (60 -day cycle),
their comments will be analyzed and CIVIC SOLUTIONS will work with City
staff to revise the element, as necessary, to address the state's concerns. The
" "Preliminary Final" Housing Element, along with a summary of changes, will be
presented to the City Council for final action.
CIVIC SOLUTIONS 9
CIVIC
S O L U T I O N 5
Our approach to obtaining certification is based on establishing and maintaining a
cooperative working relationship with HCD's assigned reviewer and management.
We expect to have conversations with HCD staff throughout the course of the
project as questions and issues arise. This process of clarifying and resolving
issues during the Housing Element preparation phase increases the likelihood of
achieving certification and reduces delays.
The practice of HCD in recent years has been to issue a letter of "conditional
certification" when an element essentially complies with state law but follow -up
actions are necessary to implement adopted policies or programs. While "full"
certification is desirable (i.e., without requiring subsequent review and approval
of implementation actions by HCD), in some cases required program actions
cannot be completed within the timeframe of element adoption. Our commitment
is to assist the City in achieving full certification to the extent feasible. However,
if new or revised implementation actions are necessary in order to achieve full
certification, we will assist the City in making these revisions and coordinating
with HCD within budget limits.
The resource allocation assumes a total of 32 planning hours for this task. If
HCD comments require more time and effort than this budget allows, additional
work will be done on a time - and - materials basis.
Products
• Review and analysis of HCD comments
• Meetings /conference calls to review HCD comments with City and
HCD staff (Note: Meeting with HCD staff are typically held via
conference call).
• Preparation of a "Preliminary Final" Housing Element for
consideration by the Planning Commission and the public
• Preparation of revisions to the "Preliminary Final" Housing
Element, if necessary, for consideration by the City Council
• Summary matrix of proposed changes to the Housing Element in
response to HCD comments
4.3 Final Housing Element
One cycle of further edits to the Element, if necessary, will be made to respond
to any additional City Council direction during consideration and adoption of the
Final Housing Element. The adopted element will then be resubmitted to HCD for
a Finding of Compliance (certification).
Products
• City files: One unbound reproducible original + one electronic/
digital copy+ fourteen (14) print copies of the adopted Housing
Element.
Note: While our goal is to help the City produce a Housing Element that receives
certification by HCD, it is possible that unresolved policy differences between
City decision - makers and HCD could hinder certification effort. Civic Solutions
cannot guarantee, nor is payment for our services contingent upon receipt of
HCD certification. If additional revisions and /or public hearings are required,
assistance can be provided on a time and materials basis.)

Task 5
Public Participation
State Housing Element' law requires a proactive effort to involve interested
persons and groups in the preparation of Housing Elements. The inherent
community interest in land use and housing development — particularly affordable
housing — ensures that the Housing Element update will receive a high level of
public scrutiny.
This scope of work assumes two community workshops, one public hearings by
the Planning Commission and two by the City Council, plus one joint Planning
Commission /Council workshop to review preliminary findings early in the update
process. This task assumes that CIVIC SOLUTIONS will compile, with City staff's
input and review, a mailing /invitation list of all appropriate individuals, agencies
and interest groups.
5.1 Housing Element Notice
CIVIC SOLUTIONS will prepare public notices in a format acceptable to the
City for each workshop and hearing. CIVIC SOLUTIONS will be responsible for
reproduction and distribution of all meeting notices. Each notice will describe
the anticipated process, schedule and opportunities for public involvement. It
is assumed that the City will be responsible for publication of public hearing
notices, and posting in appropriate locations, including on the City's website.
Copies of the notices and the distribution list may be included in an Appendix to
the Housing Element describing public participation activities.
Products

5.2 Community Workshops
Two community workshops will be held during the early stages of the project
to solicit information from residents, businesses, service groups, neighborhood
associations, seniors, disabled, and other stakeholders regarding housing needs
and potential policies and programs. CIVIC SOLUTIONS will organize and conduct
the workshops, including a slide (PowerPoint) presentation describing Housing
Element requirements, key issues, and the update process.

5.3 Planning Commission and City Council
Public Hearings and Workshops
Upon completion of a Technical Report and Summary of Findings, we propose a
joint Planning Commission /City Council workshop to ensure that critical concerns
are being addressed early in the update process. As with the public workshops
and all hearings, CIVIC SOLUTIONS will prepare, copy and mail public notices.
Meeting presentation materials will also be prepared (including revised Power
Point presentation, as needed).
Prior to release of the Public Review Draft, it is assumed that one public hearing
each will be held by the Planning Commission and City Council. The draft
element will then be submitted to HCD for review. As noted in Task 4.2, after
HCD comments are received, a revised draft Element ( "Preliminary Final ") will be
prepared for consideration by the City Council. Following Council approval, the
Final Housing Element will be submitted to State HCD for findings of compliance/
certification as required by state law. If further substantive changes to the draft
element are required in response to HCD comments, additional public hearings
may be necessary. If desired, CIVIC SOLUTIONS can prepare additional revisions
to the Housing Element, on a time and materials basis.

Task 6
CEQA Review
CIVIC SOLUTIONS will prepare an Initial Study for the Draft Housing Element in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. A Preliminary IS /ND
will be submitted to City staff for review, and a Public Review Draft IS /ND will be
prepared incorporating staff comments. The IS /ND will be submitted to the City
staff for review, and a Public Review Draft IS /ND will be prepared incorporating
staff comments. The IS /ND will conform to the City's procedures and format for
CEQA documents. One round of review and revisions is budgeted. It is assumed
that the initial Study will support the preparation of a Negative Declaration (or
a Mitigated Negative Declaration). We have found that Environmental Impact
Reports are not necessary for Housing Element updates, unless the update is
part of a comprehensive General Plan update.
This proposal assumes that CIVIC SOLUTIONS will distribute the Public
Review IS /ND to the State Clearinghouse and Responsible Agencies. It is also
assumed that CIVIC SOLUTIONS will prepare the Notice of Availability /Notice
of Intent; however, this document will be filed by City staff. After the close
of the comment period, CIVIC SOLUTIONS will prepare draft responses to
comments for review by Planning Division staff. Final responses to comments,
CIVIC SOLUTIONS 12 Ji
CIVIC
SOLUTIONS
revisions to the IS /ND (if necessary), and a mitigation monitoring program (if
necessary) will then be prepared incorporating staff comments for consideration
by decision- makers.
We assume that no separate scoping meeting will be necessary for the CEQA
document, and that consideration of the IS /ND will be handled as part of the
Housing Element review and adoption hearings.
The budget assumes that the City will handle filing of the Notice of Determination
with the County Clerk, and that the City will be responsible for any filing fees.
(Note: Recent changes in state law may limit the City's ability to conduct CEQA
review of "by right" multi - family housing approvals on sites that are rezoned to
accommodate the VL /L income housing needs identified in the regional housing
needs allocation. As a result, "project - level" CEQA review may be required for
Housing Element implementation actions. This proposal assumes CEQA review
of Housing Element policy issues only — if subsequent CEQA documentation
is required for implementation actions or site - specific entitlements, it
can be provided as an additional product with a supplemental budget.)

• Preliminary Draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration
• Notice of Availability /Notice of Intent

• Final Adopted IS/ND and Mitigation Monitoring Program, if
necessary
Task 7
Meetings and Project Management
The CIVIC SOLUTIONS Project Manager will maintain regular contact with City
staff to ensure a smooth working relationship and successful completion of the
project. Consultant will participate in monthly progress /status meetings with
the City project manager, or as needed, It is assumed that most coordination
will occur via telephone and e-mail. Up to five (5) on -site working meetings
with City staff are budgeted (in addition to the community workshops and
hearings), to be held at an appropriate times during the process.
