Housin HOUSING A Balanced Residential for All Social and Executive Summary The City of Newport Beach's Housing Element details the City's strategy for enhancing and preserving the community's character, identifies strategies for expanding housing opportunities and services for all household types and income groups, and provides the primary policy guidance for local decision - making related to housing. The Housing Element provides in -depth analysis of the City's population, economic, and housing stock characteristics as well as a comprehensive evaluation of programs and regulations related to housing. Through this evaluation and analysis, the City has identified priority goals, polices, and programs that directly address the housing needs of current and future City residents. The City completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan in 2006. Through the General Plan update process, several key areas in the City were identified as ideal locations for future housing opportunities. Key sites for future development include the Airport Area, Newport Center, Banning Ranch, Newport Mesa and the Balboa Peninsula area. As part of the comprehensive General Plan update, the existing 2000 -2005 Housing Element was reviewed for consistency and updated to reflect land use changes and new residential opportunities identified as part of the General Plan update. The 2008 -2014 Housing Element is an update and revision of the 2006 Housing Element and consists of new technical data and updated policies and programs. The land use opportunities areas developed as part of the General Plan have remained the same. This Housing Element also addresses meeting the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Newport Beach General Plan n for the planning period of January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2014, and is consistent with recent revisions to State Housing Element Law. PURPOSE AND STATUTORY AUTHORITY The Housing Element is mandated by Sections 65580 to 65589 of the Government Code. State Housing Element law requires that each city and county identify and analyze existing and projected housing needs within their jurisdiction and prepare goals, policies, programs, and quantified objectives to further the development, improvement, and preservation of housing. To that end, State law requires that the housing element: 9MMANIVI Community Providing Opportunities Economic Segments Identify adequate sites to facilitate and encourage the development, maintenance and improvement of housing for households of all economic levels, including persons with disabilities; Remove, as legally feasible and appropriate, governmental constraints to the production, maintenance, and improvement of housing for persons of all income levels including persons with disabilities; Assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of low- and moderate - income households; Conserve and improve the condition of housing and neighborhoods, including existing affordable housing; Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability; and Preserve for lower income households the publicly assisted multi- family housing developments within each community. California state law requires that Housing Elements be updated at least every five years. The City of Newport Beach has prepared this updated Housing Element in compliance with State law with the established (extended) 2008 deadline for jurisdictions within the Southern California Association of Governments region and addresses all statutory requirements and regulations. The City has accepted, and is committed to meeting, its 2006 -2014 RHNA allocation of 1,784 housing units. Achieving the remaining RHNA units is expected through the future redevelopment of several key housing opportunity areas identified through the General Plan update process and the affordable housing requirements of the Inclusionary, Housing Program. The City's Inclusionary Housing Program requires a proportion of affordable housing in new residential developments or payment of an in -lieu fee. The City's goal is that an average of 15 percent of all new residential development will be affordable to very low —, low -, and moderate - income households. The City Council has also established an Affordable Housing Task Force that works with developers and landowners to facilitate the development of affordable units and determines the most appropriate use Newport Beach General Plan in Housing Element of in -lieu fee funds. The Task Force and staff continually investigate and research potential new affordable housing opportunities. CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES The City is constrained in its effort to provide new housing opportunities due to many factors beyond its control. A common resource in many communities, the City does not have a Redevelopment Agency, which in turn means that Newport Beach does not have the resource of housing set -aside funds, nor the power to assemble property through eminent domain. However, this General Plan update provides several opportunities to create new residential uses through infill development and reuse of existing land uses. FOCUS OF HOUSING PROGRAMS Following are the housing programs that Newport Beach believes will be the most effective in meeting the City's housing goals. These programs will be the focus of the City's housing efforts during the period of this Housing Element. 1. Actively promote the development of affordable housing on the above - mentioned sites and assist developers with the removal of site constraints. 2. Continue to implement the City's Inclusionary Housing Program that requires an average of fifteen percent of new residential units to be affordable to very low —, low -, and moderate - income households. 3. Research sites and developments that could include affordable housing, such as infill, mixed -use and redevelopment opportunities. 4. Discuss the extension of affordability covenants with owners of existing affordable apartments. 5. Offer incentives to developers of affordable housing, including density bonuses, fee waivers, expedited permit processing, and the use of in -lieu fee fund. 6. Continue to support housing and special needs services providers through the use of CDBG and General Funds. TIME PERIOD COVERED BY THE HOUSING ELEMENT The Housing Element covers the RHNA allocation period of January 1, 2006, through June 30, 2014 (extended from June 30, 2005, by the State Department of Housing and Community Development). Introduction The City has recently completed a comprehensive General Plan update that was adopted by the City Council on July 25, 2006, In November of 2006, the General Plan was placed on the electoral ballot and approved by the voters. The California Government Code specifies the Legislature's intent to ensure that counties and cities are active participants in attaining the state housing goal and establishes specific components to be Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element contained in a housing element. These components include the following: identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, resources and constraints; a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs for preservation, improvement and development of housing; identification of adequate sites for housing; and adequate provision for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community. The Newport Beach Housing Element has been written in a consistent and mutually dependent relationship with other Elements of its General Plan. Furthermore, the Element is in conformance with Government Code Sections 65580- 65589. The updated Housing Element is a comprehensive statement of the City's housing policies and serves as a specific guide for implementation of these policies. The Element examines current housing needs, estimates future housing needs, and establishes goals, policies, and programs pertaining to those needs. Housing programs are responsive to current and future needs. They are also established within the context of available community, state, and federal economic and social resources, and realistic quantified housing objectives. State housing goals are as follows: • Availability of housing is of vital statewide importance. Early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order. • Early attainment of this goal requires cooperative participation of government with the private sector to expand housing opportunities and accommodate housing needs of Californians of all economic levels. • Provision of housing affordable to low- and moderate - income households requires cooperation among all levels of government. • Local and state governments have a responsibility to use powers vested in them to facilitate improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for housing needs of all economic segments of the community. ■ The Legislature recognizes in carrying out this responsibility, each local government also has a responsibility to consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors, and community goals set forth in its general plan. Cities must cooperate with other local governments and the state in addressing regional housing needs. California state law requires that Housing Elements be updated at least every five years. The City of Newport Beach has prepared this 2006 -2014 Housing Element in compliance with the established (extended) 2008 deadline for jurisdictions within the Southern California Association of Governments region. The Housing Element covers the RHNA allocation period of January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2014, time period. DATA SOURCES Various sources of information have been consulted in preparing this Housing Element. The 2000 Census provides the basis for population and household characteristics. Where applicable, the following sources of information have been used to supplement and update information contained in the 1990 and 2000 Census: • Population and demographic data from the State Department of Finance, 2007 • U.S. Census American Community Survey, 2006. Newport Beach General Plan Housina Elemen • School enrollment information from the State Department of Education and the Newport - Mesa Unified School District, 2007/08 • Housing market information, such as home sales, rents, and vacancies, as updated by City surveys and recent home sales data, 2007 • Local and County public and nonprofit agency information on special needs populations and available services 2008 • Housing condition information provided by the City of Newport Beach, 2007/08 • Orange County Progress Report demographic information, 2007 • Housing and Community Development Department Income Limits, 2007 ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT This Housing Element has been divided into two sections as follows: ■ Community Housing Market Analyses This section presents the most current available information pertaining to the following seven subsections: housing stock conditions, household characteristics including over - paying, over- crowding, analysis and projection of population and employment; analysis of special population groups; analysis of housing need; inventory of land suitable for residential development; analysis of opportunities for energy conservation; non - governmental constraints to housing production; and governmental constraints to housing production. ■ Housing Goals and Policies, Quantified Objectives, and Programs This section has three primary functions: (1) to establish City housing goals and policies; (2) to quantify the maximum number of housing units that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the seven year period between 2008 to 2014; and (3) to present City housing programs, which represent a five -year schedule of actions to be implemented by the City to achieve goals, policies, and quantified objectives of the Housing Element. Government Code Section 65588 requires review of the Housing Element as frequently as appropriate and to evaluate the effectiveness of housing goals, objectives, and policies in contributing to attainment of the State housing goal. Additionally, the City is required to evaluate the effectiveness of the Housing Element in attainment of community goals and objectives and its progress in implementation of its housing goals. This section provides the required review and evaluation of the 2000 -2005 Housing Element. REVIEW AND UPDATE OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT The City of Newport Beach will review this Housing Element annually as part of its General Plan review to evaluate appropriateness of objectives, effectiveness of programs, and progress in implementation. The Housing Element will be revised again in 2014 in accordance with state law. PUBLIC PARTICIPATION Opportunities for residents to recommend strategies for, and review and comment on the Newport Beach Housing Element were an important component of the 2006 General Plan update, including Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element The Housing Element reflects the vision and principles for future land use and housing development that were developed as part of the General Plan process. As part of the General Plan update, the Housing Element was updated and adopted in 2006 to reflect new land use changes and updated demographics. As part of development of the 2008 -2014 Housing Element, two specialized workshops were held on March 31, 2008. One workshop was specifically targeted for the development community. This workshop was held in the afternoon for housing developers to learn about the existing residential development opportunities and incentives that the City offers to facilitate affordable housing. Developers were also asked to provide input on existing programs and potential new incentives. The second workshop held later that day, was targeted to housing service providers and the general public. Workshop attendees were asked to comment on the existing needs and issues as well as provide feedback for the development of new housing programs. Invitations were sent out to service providers and developers (Appendix H1 contains the mailing list) and a notice of the workshop was advertised in the Daily Pilot. In addition to residents, representatives from the following agencies attended the workshop and provided input: • CAA Planning • Kennedy Commission • Brookfield Homes • Western Community Housing • Colette's Children Home • Iger and Associates • Conexant • HOMES Inc. • Public Law Center Newport Beach General Plan In Housina Element • Legal Aid • Social Service Agency of Orange County Copies of the draft Housing Element were made available on the City's website and at the Planning Department Counter. The draft Housing Element was reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 5" 2008 and the City Council on June 24, 2008. All City meetings are open to the public.

Notice of the public hearings is published in the Daily Pilot at least 10 days prior to the hearing date. Community Housing Market Analyses HOUSING STOCK CHARACTERISTICS Residential Growth and Dwelling Unit Types Between 1980 and 2007, 11,564 housing units were added to the housing inventory in the City of Newport Beach (refer to Table Hl). This indicates an average yearly increase in the housing stock of approximately 330 housing units. Since 1990, this rate of increase has slowed. Between 2001 and 2007, an average of 200 to 300 housing units per year was added to the housing stock with the exception of 2003, which included the annexation of Newport Coast.

Existing attached projects in the City and their densities are listed in Table H4. Housing Tenure The tenure distribution (owner- occupied versus renter - occupied) of a community's housing stock influences several aspects of the local housing market. Residential mobility is influenced by tenure, with ownership housing evidencing a much lower turnover rate than rental housing. The tenure of housing in Newport Beach in 2000 was comprised of 44 percent renter households and 56 owner- occupied households and as shown in Table 1­15: The percentage of rental housing in Newport Beach is higher than the corresponding figure for Orange County. The latest data comparing rentals from the 2000 Census is shown in Table H6. Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element Since 1960, (when only 36 percent of all occupied units were rented) the percentage of rental housing increased due to a sizeable amount of new rental construction.

Areas where this type of rental housing is predominant include West Newport, Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, and Corona del Mar. One of the most recent new multi- family rental projects in the City is the Bayview Landing project. This affordable housing project provides 120 units for very low— and low- income seniors. Condominium Conversion Ordinance In the mid- 1990s, the City of Newport Beach adopted a new ordinance to ease restrictions on condominium conversions. Easing restrictions on condominium conversions was intended to promote the availability of first -time home buyer opportunities and to promote the rehabilitation and preservation of smaller, more affordable housing units. Many rental units in certain areas of the community were overcrowded and deteriorating due to absentee owners and the renting of units on a weekly basis. Health and safety issues were also a concern given quality of life impacts resulting from excessive noise, pollution and traffic in areas where weekly vacation rentals were prevalent. In 2005, the City became concerned that severe parking inadequacies of older apartment buildings were being perpetuated through condominium conversions, and adopted ordinances restricting condominium conversions to structures that provide the code required parking at the time of the conversion. Under these ordinances, duplexes, and multi- family properties that are non - conforming by way of parking cannot be converted to condominiums. These regulations will have slowed the rate of condominium conversions in the City. The total number of units affected by condominium conversions approved since 1995 is 394 units. Table H8 identifies the number of conversions each year between 1995 and 2007.

Vacancy rates of 5 to 6 percent for rental housing and 1 to 2 percent for ownership housing are generally considered optimum, where there is balance between the demand and supply for housing. A higher vacancy rate may indicate an excess supply of units and therefore price depreciation, while a low vacancy rate may indicate a shortage of units and resulting escalation of housing prices. The overall housing unit vacancy rate of the City of Newport Beach has varied between 1980 and 2000, as fluctuations have occurred in the housing market. The last available data for all vacant units categorized by the type of housing stock is from the 2000 Census. It indicated that the vacancy rate for rental units was 3 percent versus 1 percent for ownership housing (Table H9). According to State Department of Finance estimates the overall vacancy rate in the community has decreased to 10.9 in 2007.

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, 1,994 of 4,217 vacant units were identified as "seasonal use." To assist in administration of its condominium conversion ordinance, the City has conducted rental vacancy surveys since 1979. This survey includes only apartment vacancies, not other homes that may be used as rentals. Results of the most recent surveys and the 2000 Census are provided on 'fable H10. As shown in 2006, the vacancy rate for apartment units was 4.45 percent.

That survey indicated only 1.3 percent of all housing units were deficient. Three neighborhoods in the city contained concentrations of substandard housing. Of all housing units on Balboa Peninsula, 5.1 percent were in substandard condition, while 2.5 percent and Newport Beach General Plan im Housing Element 2.6 percent of all units on Balboa Island and in Newport Heights, respectively, were in substandard condition. Deficient units in this regard are defined as deteriorated, dilapidated units, as well as those units inadequate in original construction, or which were under extensive repair. The lack of complete plumbing, kitchen, or heating facilities serves as a narrow indicator of substandard housing conditions. Only a small number of homes in Newport lacked these basic utilities in 2000. The 2000 Census reported that 125 units had incomplete plumbing, 235 units were without a complete kitchen, and 135 units had no heating facilities. However, it is the consensus of City staff that the condition of housing in Newport Beach is considered to be very good. During 2007, through its ongoing code enforcement program, the City Building Department has not identified any properties in need of repair. Extremely high property values and the lack of code enforcement cases indicate that property owners within Newport Beach are, for the most part, conscientious about maintaining their properties. Substandard housing does not appear to be a problem for the community at this point in time. Illegal Dwelling Units Illegal or "bootleg" dwelling units have historically been a problem in Newport Beach, experienced most often in the older, beach - oriented areas of West Newport, Balboa Peninsula, Balboa Island, and Corona del Mar. These units are found in two typical forms: the "splitting" of a single dwelling unit into two separate occupancies, and the conversion of garages to living space. These units usually have a higher number of health and safety code violations than legal units, due to conversion without proper building permits and inspections. Illegal units continue to be a problem today, but are less prevalent than in the past, due to increased year round owner occupancy in these areas, and inspections which occur when properties are sold. While it is difficult to estimate the number of illegal units, code enforcement personnel estimate that as much as 5 percent of the City's housing stock may be in the form of illegal units. While not to be safe and adequate housing, these units do provide living arrangements that tend to be more affordable than legal units. Mobile Homes As described later, mobile homes generally provide more affordable housing opportunities for residents. There are presently 972 mobile home spaces in ten mobile home parks in Newport Beach. Many of these units are occupied by permanent residents and some are used by households that use the unit for vacations or weekend visits to the area. The character of the City's ten mobile home parks varies. Three of the parks are located on or close to Newport Harbor. These three parks appeal to retirees and a substantial number of spaces in these parks are occupied by permanent residents. It should be noted that mobile homes in Cannery Village and some in West Newport have been replaced with manufactured housing that is not affordable to low - income and moderate - income individuals and families. The state HCD is responsible for issuing permits for mobile home parks. The City of Newport Beach has notified the state that mobile home units affordable to low- and /or moderate - income households have been converted, or are in the process of converting to, market rate status and thereby may lose their affordable status. To date, the state has taken no action regarding this continuing loss of affordable housing. Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element It should be noted that one mobile home park, the Beach and Bay Mobile Home Park at 7204 W. Coast Highway, appears to be in substantial physical decline and could be subject to redevelopment or replacement within this planning period.

Both the Marina Mobile Home Park and the Seacliff Mobile Home Park were approved for closure in 2006. The Marina Park mobile home park has been owned and operated by the City of Newport Beach since 1919. The park presently accommodates 57 mobile homes: 25 used as second homes, 31 permanent residences and 1 that is vacant. Beginning in 1985, the City agreed to enter into long term leases that provided for reduced rents that were below fair market value. In exchange, the Lessees agreed to deliver possession of the premises. In 2006, the City elected to consider closing the Park and changing the use to an interim open space condition. The Seacliff Mobile Home Park is a privately owned 117 unit Park near the West Newport Industrial Area. The park owner owns all but 14 of the 117 mobile units. The remaining 103 are rented out on month -to -month tenancies. In 2006, owner decided to terminate the mobile home park space tenancies as park of the park closure. Pursuant to California law, a Closure Impact Report was prepared for both parks that assessed the impact of the park's closure on tenants. The Report provided numerous options to tenants for relocation assistance, including payment of reasonable costs to relocate the mobile homes, payment to purchase the homes, and payment of relocation expenses. Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element Assisted Housing Stock The City has had policies in effect since the mid -1980s requiring the provision of affordable housing in association with all new residential developments where more than 4 units are proposed. Most were provided within new or existing apartment projects. In some cases, an in -lieu fee was assessed. The City also facilitated the teaming of market rate and affordable housing developers to produce required affordable housing. As mentioned earlier, recent projects include the 120 -unit Bayview Landing project (2004) and the 79 -unit Santa Barbara Condominium project that will provide 12 units that will be affordable to low- and moderate - income households (in the pipeline). Affordability requirements for the Santa Barbara Condominium project will be satisfied through the purchase and rehabilitation of a 12 -unit apartment building. Table H12 summarizes the total number of completed affordable units receiving public assistance as well as regulated affordable housing in private development. Over 400 restricted /assisted affordable housing units are located within Newport Beach. Newport Beach has facilitated affordable housing development using a variety of mechanisms (such as in -lieu fee funding, inclusionary housing requirements, CDBG, fee waivers, land grants, and other support). State law requires an analysis of existing assisted rental units that are at risk of conversion to market rate. This includes conversion through termination of a subsidy contract, mortgage prepayment, or expiring use restrictions. The following at -risk analysis covers the period of January 1, 2006 through June 30, 2016. Assisted Housing Stock at Risk According to the Housing and Community Services of Orange County's list of affordable housing projects and the City's at risk project database, two affordable project covenants may expire during the planning period. These projects include Newport Seacrest Apartments located at 843 West 15th Street. The project was financed with a 30 -year Section 8 loan which is set to expire in 2016. Of the 65 units, 20 are one- bedroom and 45 are two- bedroom units. Contact with the property representative indicates that although the loan is set to expire in 2016, the property owner would be willing to work with the City and negotiate extending the affordability covenants beyond 2016. Since many tenants of this property have Section 8 vouchers provided by the County, it is assumed that many of the tenants are very low — income households. The Baywood apartment complex includes 46 low- income units, all of which are two - bedroom. These units were developed under the City's inclusionary housing requirement and are set to expire in 2011. The Irvine Company (TIC) is the prima y land owner /developer in the Newport Center area and has submitted a Planned Community Development Plan to build 430 of the permitted 450 mixed -use units (within Block 500, 600 and San Joaquin Plaza). The North Newport Center AHIP was approved in December 2007. As part of the proposed 430 mixed -use units, the Planned Community Development Plan includes its own Affordable Housing Plan (AHIP) for the project, a required component of the City's existing Affordable Housing Implementation Program requirements. The Irvine Company is required to provide the following number of units of either very low —, low -, or moderate - income housing, or a combination of income categories: Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element Table H12 City of Newport Beach Assisted (and Affordable) Housing Summary Possible Date of Pro led Nomel Location Type of Asaistonce Received Change Number of unlW T Domingo Drive Apartments Section 8 Permanent 25 Very Low Income 851 Domingo Drive Newport Harbor Apartments Section 8 538 Placentia Density Bonus 2020 26 Low Income CDBG Newport Harbor II Apartments Section 8 2023 14 Low Income Baywood City Inclusionary Housing 2010 -2011 46 Low Income Requirement Section 8 Newport Seacrest Apartments CDBG 2016 65 Low Income 84315th Street Fee Waivers Tax Credit Financing Pacific Heights Apartments Section 8 2018 7 881 -887 W. 15th Street Villa Point II 2 Milano Drive Section 8 Permanent 18 Very Low and Low Income Newport Seashore Apartments Section 8 2018 15 Low Income 849 West 15th Street Fee Waivers Newport Seaside Apartment Section 8 1544 Placentia CDBG 2019 25 Very Low Income Fee Waivers Seaview Lutheran Plaza (Seniors) Section 202 Permanent 100 Very Low— Income elderly 2800 Pacific View Drive Section 8 Villa del Este Section 8 Ownership 2021 2 Moderate Income 401 Seaward Road Villa Siena Section 8 Ownership 2021 3 Low Income 2101 15th Street Density Bonus Bayview Landing (Seniors) In -lieu Fee Funds 24 Very Low and 95 Low 1121 Back Bay Drive Fee Waivers 2056 Income Tax Credit Financing SOURCE: City of Newport Beach Planning Department, 2008 Crty ofNmpw Beach Consolidated Plan 2000- 2005,, Orange Courdy Affordable Housing List. 2008 • Very Low: 43 units • Low: 65 units ■ Moderate: 86 units To project units within these income categories, the North Newport Center Planned Community AHIP includes the construction of 14 affordable mull -family units on a 0.75 -acre parcel of land near the intersection of San Joaquin Hills Road and San Miguel Avenue. The Irvine Company also owns the Bays, an apartment complex consisting of three buildings known as Baywood, Bayview, and Bayport. To meet the AHIP requirements, the Irvine will also /or create affordability covenants for 29 to 89 existing units at the Bays for a period of at least 30 years. Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element While the Baywood apartment complex may expire in 2011, the North Newport Center Planned Community AHIP provides an important opportunity to create new affordable housing within the community. Preservation and Replacement Options Currently, availability of funding for Section 8 contract renewal is uncertain. Under the Section 8 contract program, HUD pays owners the difference between what tenants can pay (defined as 30 percent of household income) and HUD's payment standard. Rent subsidies using state, local, or other funding sources can be used to maintain the affordability of the at -risk projects and structured to mirror the Section 8 program. It is assumed that the one - bedroom units are occupied by the one - person household and two - bedroom units are occupied by a four- person household. This analysis assumes that very low— income households earn below 50 percent of the County median. Thus, the average income would be $30,300 for a one person household and $43,300 for a four - person household according to 2007 HUD /HCD income limits. As Table H13 shows, given the 111 units contained in the two housing projects, whose affordability may expire in this planning period, the total anticipated subsidy is $569,784 annually or $47,482 monthly.

Financial resources available to purchase existing units or develop replacement units 2. Entities with the interest and ability to purchase /manage the units at risk 3. Management programs to provide replacement funding for potential lost subsides The following summarizes financial resources available to the City for preservation of assisted, multi- family rental housing units. Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element • CDBG —The City is programmed to receive approximately $2,000,000 during the next five years. This program is intended to enhance and preserve the City's affordable housing stock. CDBG funds are awarded to the City on a formula basis for housing activities. Approximately, $200,000 per year in CDBG funds are used to repay a 20 -year Section 108 loan which was used to provide public facilities improvements project to revitalize the low /moderate - income Balboa Peninsula neighborhoods. • In -Lieu Housing Fund —The City has collected in -lieu fees from various development projects since 1997. The City's remaining balance as of the end of 2007 was approximately $1.3 million. Because it is a local housing resource, the City has a large degree of flexibility for use of the funds. In -lieu fee funds can be used for land write- downs, construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition of properties. • Section 202 — Provides grant to non -profit developers for supportive housing for elderly. Eligible activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and rental assistance. • California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) Multiple Rental Housing Programs —This state program provides below market rate financing to builders and developers of multiple - family and elderly rental housing. Tax exempt bonds provide below market mortgage money. Eligible activities include new construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition of properties with 20 to 150 units. • Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) —This state program provides tax credits to individuals and corporations that invest in low - income rental housing. Tax credits are sold to corporations and people with high tax liability and proceeds are used to create housing. Eligible activities include new construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition. • California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC) —This private, non -profit mortgage banking consortium provides long -term debt financing for affordable multi- family rental housing. Eligible activities include new construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition. Administrative Resources An alternative to providing subsides to private for -profit owners to maintain units as low- income housing is for public or nonprofit agencies to acquire or construct housing units to replace "at risk" units lost to conversion. The City can explore prioritizing tenants that have lost their unit or rent subsidy in these at -risk buildings for inclusion in new projects funding by the City. The following nonprofit housing development corporations are active in developing affordable housing in Newport Beach and Orange County: • Related Companies of California has developed and preserved over 6,000 units of housing in California. Related Companies of California recently constructed the affordable Bayview Landing project in 2004. In addition to construction, Related Companies of California is also experienced with the preservation and management of at -risk properties. • Jambome Housing is an active non -profit housing development that constructs and preserves affordable senior, family, and special needs housing throughout southern California. Jamboree also provides on -site social services with many of its affordable and special needs projects. Jamboree Housing has recently developments projects in the cities of Irvine and Laguna Beach. • National Community Renaissance (National CORE) includes National Community Renaissance of California (formerly So Cal Housing), National Housing Development Corporation (formerly NHDC), and Hope Through Housing Foundation. Together, the combined nonprofit entity Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element now operates over affordable 9,500 apartments in the United States. Programs include construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, job education and training, adult education and literacy, senior services, and after - school youth programs. Olson Company —a local, for -profit development, the Olson Company is an experience multi- family and mixed -use housing development that has included affordable housing as a component of many projects. Recent affordable projects have occurred in the cities of Brea and Fullerton. The Irene Company —one of the largest land developers on Orange County, the Irvine Company owns and manages over ninety apartment projects located throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Silicon Valley. Affordable rental units are located at approximately thirty of these projects including inclusionary housing units, HUD - Funded Programs, and Section 8 units. The Irvine Company owns several apartment complexes within Newport Beach. POPULATION AND HOUSING PROJECTIONS According to the US Census, the population of Newport Beach in 2000 was 70,032 residents, excluding the Newport Coast area. Updated information from the State Department of Finance estimates the population in 2007 to be 84,218. Pursuant to the updated General Plan, ultimate residential capacity within the City of Newport Beach will be 49,968 dwelling units, including the Newport Coast area. Future residential growth will largely occur through infill development and reuse of existing and obsolete land uses. As discussed in greater detail later in the document, the key sites for future growth include the Airport Area, Newport Center, Banning Ranch, West Newport Mesa, and the Balboa Peninsula area According to the California State Fullerton Center for Demographic Research projections, the population of Newport Beach is anticipated to grow steadily over the next several years, increasing to 91,321 residents by 2015. Table H14 and Table H15 were created to demonstrate housing and population trends based on past State Department of Finance estimates. These estimates are supplemented with housing unit and population projections based on estimates of actual construction. Estimates are for 2000 to 2007.

However, since 1950 the City's proportionate gain in population has been substantially less than that of the County. Annexations of the West Newport Triangle in 1980, a portion of Santa Ana Heights in 1987, and construction of large housing developments helped to increase City population 6.5 percent between 1980 and 1990. Construction of housing developments contributed to an increase of City population of 15.2 percent between 1990 and 2000. Population increases after 2000 were generally due through intensification of land uses and annexation of the Newport Coast and Santa Ana Heights areas. Past and future populations of both Orange County and Newport Beach are presented below. Newport Beach population will continue to constitute a decreasing percentage of the County population. The County population is projected to increase by 8.2 percent between 2010 and 2025. The City of Newport Beach population is projected to increase by a slightly slower rate of 8.0 percent during the same time period. The 2000 Census estimates the vacancy rate to be 3.5 percent for Orange County in 2000. Of these vacant units, approximately 1 percent is used for seasonal, recreational, or occasional use. The average household size in 1970 was 2.6; the 1980 Census reported an average household size of 2.2. Between 1980 and 1990, this rate increased to 2.3 persons per unit. The decrease in average persons per household between 1970 and 1980 and the increase in average persons per household between 1980 and 2000 are shown below. This trend is consistent with the trend in Orange County. Reduction in household size in Newport Beach between 1970 and 2000 had been the result of increased numbers of persons 65 years of age and older and reduced numbers of child- rearing households and child population in the City. This trend is documented by Table H18 (Population by Age, City of Newport Beach 1970 - 2000). Table H19 further indicates a general aging of the population of the City between 1990 and 2000. However, it also shows an increase in "under 5" and "5 to 13" age categories, which in part may explain the slight increase in numbers of persons per household.

Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element The 2006 U.S. Census American Community Survey was conducted for the City of Newport Beach to obtain data on limited general demographic characteristics, including age. Information obtained from this survey provided estimated populations with margins of error of ±6,252. While the error margin for the American Community Survey data is significantly higher compared to the decennial census data, the American Community Survey provides more up -to -date information that can illustrate trends that have occurred in Newport Beach since 2000. Results from the survey are displayed in Table H19. More recent data displays several population trends within Newport Beach from 2000 to 2005. One of the more notable issues was that the City's senior population remains a significant proportion of the City's population, comprising almost 20 percent in 2005. Another significant population is children under 19 years, which also composed approximately 20 percent of all residents. In addition, information on public school enrollment in the Newport -Mesa Unified School District ( NMUSD) is provided in Table H2O. NMUSD serves the majority of the City. Approximately 20,600 students were enrolled in NMUSD during the 2005/06 school year. Of these, almost 70 percent were in grades K to 8, while the remaining 32 percent were in high school.

As shown in Table H21 and Table 1422, the City of Newport Beach General Plan Element Newport Beach has become diverse racially and ethnically in 2000 compared to 1990. Persons who classified themselves as white in 1990 comprised 92.5 percent of the City population. Those classifying themselves as Hispanic in 1990 comprised 4 percent of the City population; in 2000 that increased to 6.2 percent. The percentage of the City population who identified themselves as African American in 1990 was .2 percent; in 2000 this increased to 0.5 percent. Table H21 shows the 1990 and 2000 racial and ethnic composition of Newport Beach. Comparative figures for Orange County are also provided. As identified in Table H23, according to the U.S. Census 2006 American Community Survey estimates, Newport Beach continues to become more racially and ethnically diverse, although the majority of residents are Non - Hispanic White. As shown, the proportions of Hispanic, Asian and residents identifying themselves as of another racial and ethnic group or of mixed- racial heritage have increased in Newport Beach since the 2000 Census. However, fewer minority groups reside in Newport Beach compared to Orange County as a whole. Table ..

Upper income households have substantial discretionary income to spend on housing; low- and moderate - income households are more limited in terms of housing they can afford. Median household income in Newport Beach traditionally has been greater than that of Orange County. In 1990, City median household income was 31.5 percent higher than County household median income. In 2000, City median household income had become 41.8 percent higher. Updated information from the American Community Survey indicates that the median household income in Newport Beach was $103,068, 46.7 percent higher than the County. TableH24 Median .

These are usually defined as annual household incomes not exceeding a percentage of the median family income identified annually by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Orange County area, which was $78,700 in 2007. For planning and funding purposes, the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) categorizes households into four income groups based on the County area median income (AMI): • Very L our Income —up to 50 percent of County area median income • L.ow Income -51 -80 percent of County area median income Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element • Moderate Income -81 percent to 120 percent of County area median income • Above Moderate—above 120 percent of the County area median income Income by Household Type and Tenure Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data based on the 2000 Census developed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is used to provide an overview of income distribution by household type and tenure in Newport Beach. According to HUD data, 7 percent of the City's total households in 2000 were Extremely Low Income (0 -30 percent AMI), 6 percent were Very Low Income (31 to 50 percent AMI), and 9 percent were Low Income (51- 80 percent AMI). Approximately 78 percent of the households had incomes above 80 percent of the median in 2000 (Table H25).

For planning purposes, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) uses Census data to develop special tabulations by HUD Income group and special needs category. This data set is collectively known as the Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS). Certain groups had higher proportions of lower - income households. As shown in Table H25, elderly and large family renter households had higher proportions of lower - income households than any other household type. Approximately 50 percent of all elderly renter households and 25 percent of elderly owner households earned lower income levels (earned less than 80 percent of AMI]. Although according to CHAS data, only 190 large family renter households were located within the community, Among these households, 45 percent earned less than 80 percent of the ANII. However, only 6 percent of large family owner households earned very low- and low- income levels. Housing Costs Affordability is determined by comparing the cost of housing to the income of local households. If the costs are high relative to the incomes, housing problems such as overcrowding and cost burden are more likely to occur. This section details the costs of housing in Newport Beach and examines the overall affordability of housing within the City. Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element Housing Sales Prices Home sales prices throughout Orange County have escalated dramatically over the past several years. According to DataQuick Information Systems, the median price of all homes and condominiums in Newport Beach sold in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $1,485,000. Home prices in Newport Beach are second only to Laguna Beach ($1,530,000) and are higher than Huntington Beach ($681,250), Costa Mesa ($670,000), Irvine ($663,000), and the County median of $621,000. As the sales data for homes in Newport Beach by Zip Code in December 2007 in Table H26 shows, housing prices in Newport Beach vary substantially by geographic area. The median price for single - family homes and condos ranges from $1,110,000 in Zip Code 92660 to $4,401,250 in Zip Code 92657 (Newport Coast).

As shown, the overall median rental price for apartments in Newport Beach ranges from $1,773 for a one - bedroom, and up to $2,560 for a three bedroom unit. Ten mobile home parks are located within the community, with some of the units available as rental units. Discussion with management staff at some of the parks indicate that the rental rates for these units range significantly, from $800 up to $4,000, depending on the size and quality of the units and the location of the park.

February 2008 Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element Housing Affordability The costs of home ownership and renting can be compared to a household's ability to pay for housing, based on the 2007 HUD median income of $78,700 for Orange County and current market prices in Newport Beach (Table H29). While the median household income in Newport Beach is higher than the County, a significant number of households in the City earn lower income levels. Specifically, 22 percent of households earned very low and low incomes. In addition, elderly and large family renter households had higher proportions of lower income levels than any other household type, indicating that finding affordable, adequately sized housing is difficult for these households. Extremely Low 1 person household $18,200 $455 $49,166 4 person household $26,000 $650 $70,247 6 person household $28,100 $702 $75,922 Very Low 1 person household $30,300 $758 $81,890 4 person household $43,300 $1,082 $117,013 6 person household $46,750 $1,169 $126,354 Low 1 person household $48,500 $1,212 $131,056 4 person household $69,300 $1,732 $187,293 6 person household $74,850 $1,871 $202,276 Moderate 1 person household $66,100 $1,653 $178,633 4 person household $94,400 $2,360 $255,107 6 person household $102,000 $2,550 $275,669 e Based on HUD /HGD 2007 Income Limits b Calculated as 30 %of income, divided by 12 months Assumes 10% down payment, 7% interest rate, 1.25 % property tax, and 30 -year mortgage. • Moderate - Income Households- Moderate- income households earn 81 to 120 percent of the County's median family income. Moderate - income households are unable to afford any of the condominiums or single family homes sold in the City at current prices. With a maximum affordable rent payment of $1,653 to $2,550 per month, moderate- income households can afford the price of most of the market -rate rental units in the City and the affordable housing in the community listed on Table H12. • Lom,- Income Households -Low- income households earn between 51 to 80 percent of the County's median family income. Similar to moderate - income households, low- income households are limited to the rental market in Newport Beach. These households are unable to afford any of the homes sold within the city. Low - income households can afford the rent of the affordable housing units in the community (Table H12) a very limited amount of the market -rate one- Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element bedroom apartment units for rent and some of the mobile home units; however they may have difficulty obtaining affordable larger rental units. ■ Very Low— Income and Extremely Low— Income Households= Extremely low— and very low— income households are also unable to purchase any market -rate homes in Newport Beach. Affordable /assisted units in the community are affordable to these households. Overcrowding A housing unit that is occupied by more than one person per room (excluding kitchens, bathrooms, hallways and porches) is defined by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as being overcrowded. A housing unit with more than 1.5 persons per room is considered to be severely overcrowded. The substantial reduction in the average household size in the City of Newport Beach in the last third of the twentieth century indicates the majority of City households are not overcrowded in terms of persons per dwelling unit. The 2000 U.S. Census figure is 1.9 persons per dwelling unit. This figure is well below state and regional averages. The 1990 U.S. Census indicated that in Newport Beach 66 (0.4 percent) owner- occupied units and 406 (2.8 percent) renter - occupied units included more than 1.01 persons per room. In 2000, these figures were 102 (0.55 percent) for owner - occupied units and 513 (3.4 percent) of renter- occupied units. Approximately 40 (0.2 percent) of owner - occupied units and 275 (1.8 percent) of renter- occupied units were severely overcrowded in 2000. Within Orange County as whole, overcrowding rates are considerably higher: Countywide 7.8 percent of owner - occupied units and 28.3 percent of renter- occupied units were overcrowded in 2000. EMPLOYMENT TRENDS AND PROJECTIONS The California State Employment Development Department estimated the total labor force among the Newport Beach population in January 2008 was 46,100, of whom 44,900 were employed. Labor force is defined as the number of people 16 years of age and older (who reside within the City of Newport Beach) that are employed or are seeking employment. The 2006 U.S. Census American Community Survey estimates that the top eight industries within the City's labor market were as follows: finance, insurance and real estate (10,106); professional services (7,316); manufacturing (4,105); educational services and health care (6,760); arts, entertainment, recreation, and food services (3,216); retail trade (2,778); construction (2,503); and wholesale trade (2,089). Newport Beach serves as a large employment center within the community and the County, including professional occupations associated with major office centers located within Newport Center and the Airport Area as well as medical and research jobs associated within Hoag Hospital within the West Newport Mesa area. As a beachfront community, tourism is also a key component of Newport Beach's economy and lifestyle. As such, a number of jobs within the community are within the service sector. While many of the industries providing the largest number of jobs consist of higher paid occupations such as jobs within the professional, scientific and portions of the healthcare fields, there are also a number of lower -paid service jobs in the community such as jobs in the retail and food services. Most of these workers likely commute from places outside the City. Table H30 compares Southern California Association of Governments City projected employment growth (as presented in the Orange County Progress Report 2000) with projected employment growth for Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element Orange County. This reflects the number of jobs available within the City. The Center for Demographic Research has indicated employment in the City is expected to increase by 4.2 percent between 2010 and 2020. The projected countywide employment increase is 9.9 percent during that same period. The City will have about 4.0 percent of the jobs in Orange County by year 2020.

Consequently, additional demand for housing within Newport Beach will be as much a result of overall employment growth within the County, as it would be because of employment growth within the city. SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATION GROUPS Certain segments of the population may have a more difficult time finding decent affordable housing due to special circumstances. The state of California defines "special needs" households as the elderly, disabled persons, large families, female - headed households, farm workers, and the homeless. This Housing Element has included students in the "special needs" population. Data from the 2000 Census of Population and Housing indicate the "special needs" population in Newport Beach most in need of affordable housing is senior citizens (those at least 65 years of age). A large percentage of Newport Beach senior citizens in 2000 had a work disability with a mobility or self -care limitation. Students attending the University of California, Irvine (UCI) or Orange Coast College (OCC) in Costa Mesa also reside in Newport Beach. The Student Housing Offices provide information to students on locating housing but students do not necessarily obtain housing through the offices. Also, Student Housing Offices have no way of tracking residences of students. The University of California, Irvine Housing Office provides general information on housing listings from the Housing Office over the past year (2006). This information includes rental rates in Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and surrounding communities. Rental information specific to Newport Beach was not available. That study was based on number of rooms and made no distinction between apartments and homes. Rents then ranged from $1,050 per month for a studio, to $2,300 per month for a three bedroom, two -bath unit. Those costs for year 2006, based on students helped, are as follows: Newport Beach General Plan Element Studio-1 bedroom, 1 bath $1,05041,150 2 bedrooms, I bath $1,35041,550 3 bedrooms, 2 bath 1 $2,300 SOURCE: UCI SWdwt Services, Housing IMOmiation, 2007 Persons with Disabilities According to the 2000 Census, 8,386 persons in Newport Beach had a disability, comprising approximately 12.5 percent of the population five years and older. Disabilities are defined as mental, physical, or health conditions that last over six months. The proportion of individuals with disabilities increases with age. Approximately 6 percent of children and adolescents aged 5 to 20 had a disability, compared to 10 percent of adults aged 21 to 64 and 26 percent of seniors. The most prevalent public need for persons with disabilities is access to public places, housing and facilities. Mobility impaired individuals require special housing or structural needs. These include, but are not limited to, wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, grab bars, and access ramps. Certain individuals may require housing that has access to health care facilities. From available Census data it is not possible to determine how many of these handicapped persons need housing assistance. The City has produced 2 units designed for handicapped occupancy in one of its rent restricted, financially assisted housing developments. Rental on these 2 units was restricted to allow use of Section 8 rental assistance Certificates or Vouchers. These units also are located in close proximity to the largest concentration of health care facilities within Newport Beach. Female Head of Household Single- parent households often require special consideration and assistance as a result of their greater need for affordable housing, accessible and affordable day care, health care, and other supportive services. Female- headed households with children in particular, tend to have significantly lower incomes, lower rate of homeownership, and higher poverty levels than other types of households. Data from the 2000 U.S. Census indicates that there were 1,046 female- headed households with children under 18 years in Newport Beach. The data also revealed that 8.1 percent (99) of these female - headed households with children were living below the poverty level. However, the extent of poverty experienced by female- headed families in Newport Beach was significantly lower than the countywide rate of 21.1 percent. Elderly In 2000, the fastest growing segment of the County population was older adults (ages 65 and older). Federal regulations stipulate senior citizens are presumed to have "presumptive benefit" for Americans Newport Beach General Plan Element witb Disabilities Act mandated provisions. Additionally, special housing needs of many elderly persons result from lower, fixed incomes, physical disabilities, and dependence needs. Since 1960, the elderly population in Newport Beach has grown steadily, and there is no indication of this trend reversing. According to the 2000 Census, 12,295 persons in Newport Beach were aged 65 years and older representing 17.6 percent of the City's population. The percentage of older persons in the City is large compared to the region. In 2000, only 9.9 percent of Orange County residents were 65 years of age or older. Due to aging "baby boomers," the 65 years and older age group has been, proportionately, the fastest growing segment of the total population in the previous two decades. The number of elderly can be expected to increase as persons between the ages of 35 and 64 continue to mature. Many elderly persons residing in Newport Beach are long -time residents. However, many others have arrived more recently to pursue a retirement lifestyle suited to the area's attractive locale. Those persons in the latter category generally are well housed because their housing arrangement was chosen to match their retirement lifestyle and financial situation. Persons in the former category are more often living in houses purchased before real estate prices increased dramatically. Many of these individuals today would be unable to afford the house in which they are currently living. Furthermore, these homes may no longer match their housing needs regarding space, maintenance, and proximity to community facilities. Thus, persons living on low, fixed incomes may be "house rich" in terms of accumulated equity in their homes, but poorly served by the housing unit itself. In such cases, elderly residents may retain their houses only because they wish to remain in the community. Alternative living arrangements in the community, such as smaller units close to commercial and transportation facilities with some congregate services, would better serve the housing needs of this population segment. According to the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) 2006 CHAS data, 8,774 owner and rental households in the City of Newport Beach were elderly households. These households represented 26.5 percent of the total households in the City. Of the elderly renter occupied households, 56 percent (1,249 persons) and 32 percent (2,082 persons) of elderly owner households had problems as defined by HUD'. According to CHAS data, approximately 50 percent of all elderly renter households and 25 percent of elderly owner households earned lower income levels (earned less than 80 percent of area median income). 2000 Census data indicated that 412 elderly persons in the City were living below the federally established poverty line. Escalating housing costs, particularly in the rental housing market, severely impact housing affordability for the elderly because many of the elderly live on fixed incomes. Many elderly residents in the City reside in mobile home parks. A number of long -time elderly residents live in older parks developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Others live in mobile home parks close to the bay that cater to the retirement lifestyle. Assistance for low - income elderly is a high priority for the City of Newport Beach. Additionally, there are many social service programs whose clients include the elderly in Orange County. These include the Section 8 "Housing Voucher" programs administered by the Orange County Housing Authority, Meals on Wheels, and various social service programs provided by and through the City's OASIS 1 Housing Problems as defined by HUD are as follows: cost burden greater than 30% of income and /or overcrowding and /or without complete kitchen facilities or plumbing. Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element Senior Center. A more detailed description of these programs is contained in Appendix H2 to this Housing Element. Additionally, the Bayview Landing Senior Affordable Housing Project was constructed in 2004. With the exception of one "managers unit," all of the 120 units are designated for very low— and low - income seniors. This project received $1 million in funds from the City's "in -lieu" housing fund reserves. In addition, the City provided expedited penxut processing, partial fee waivers of entitlement fees and substantial entitlement assistance. Large Households Families are defined as groups of persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption. Households represent all persons living together as groups, whether related or not. The City has identified total households and families with five or more persons. Table H32 shows distribution of number of persons per household as indicated in the 2000 U.S. Census and demonstrates the number of large households in the City of Newport Beach comprises only 3 percent of all Newport Beach households.

Factors that contributed to the increase in homelessness included a lack of housing affordable to low and moderate - income persons and families, loss of jobs, increases in number of persons whose incomes fell below the poverty level, reductions in public subsidies to the poor, and de- institutionalization of the mentally ill. Homelessness is a regional problem throughout Southern California. Homeless persons and families exist in every city and populated unincorporated area of Orange County. Various organizations, institutions, and agencies often generate strikingly different calculations of homeless individuals/ Families. The County has developed and assists in funding a housing and service delivery system —the Continuum of Care —that responds to the needs of the region's homeless. The Continuum of Care Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element was established through a community-based process to ensure the region's residents and homeless are empowered to affect changes in the existing social services system. The Orange County Community Forum, Orange County Leadership Cabinet, and Orange County Department of Housing and Community Development have shared responsibility for planning and implementing the regional Continuum of Care. According to the 2007 Homeless Needs Assessment, there were approximately 3,649 unduplicated persons identified in shelters and on the streets of Orange County in January 2007. The Homeless Needs Assessment does not present data by City. Extrapolation of the county data estimates that there are 27,732 incidents of homelessness in Orange County over a 12 -month period! In addition, 2006 caseload data was collected from shelter service providers and indicates the total number of times homeless persons were sheltered or turned away from shelter over a twelve -month period. Also included is the total number of chronically homeless (street homeless) individuals that typically do not seek shelter. The total number of homeless incidents reflected in this data collection process was 35,065. Of these persons, 24,545 are persons in families with children and 10,520 unaccompanied individuals. Further discussion with service providers indicates that of the homeless population in the county, approximately 4,500 have a mental illness'. Orange County has a total homeless shelter bed inventory of 3,400 comprised of 1,512 emergency shelter beds and 1,888 transitional shelter beds. The County also has 1,875 permanent supportive housing facilities for individuals and families with children. According to the 2005 -2010 Orange County Consolidated Plan, there is an unmet homeless housing need gap of 19,575 beds for homeless individuals and 118,537 beds for families with children. The largest housing gap is for permanent supportive housing. Additionally, there are current unmet needs (gaps) for individuals in the following categories (expressed as estimated need /current inventory /unmet need ]gap]): chronic substance abusers (6,328/1,018/5,310); seriously mentally ill (2,218/51/2,167); veterans (471/0/471); persons with HIV /AIDS (2,029/33/1,996); victims of domestic violence (6,988/375/6,613); and youth (492/79/413). Note that the homeless sub - populations do not total 35,065 because there are homeless who fall into more than one sub - population category and /or not all homeless fall within the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development designated sub - populations listed (e.g., homeless families who are under - employed and unable to afford housing would not be captured under the sub - population categories listed, but would be captured in the total homeless count of 35,065). Local Strategy The 2000 U.S. Census did not identify any homeless persons in the City of Newport Beach. However, according to the Newport Beach Police Department, homeless and transient persons are observed traveling through the City, particularly around Balboa Peninsula and on Superior Avenue. Although the Police Department does not keep specific statistics, during the warmer summer months, there tends to be a higher number of homeless people around the beach areas.' According to the Orange County Department of Education, which collects data on the number of youth and homeless children in Orange County, of the 13,130 homeless children enrolled in public 2 Orange County Housing and Community Services Department. County of Orange. February 2008 3 Personal Communication: HOMES Inc., April 1, 2008. ' Sgt. Evan Sailer. Newport Beach Police Department. April 2008. Newport Beach General Plan Housin school in Orange County in 2006/07, 107 were enrolled in the Newport -Mesa Unified School District, which serves the majority of Newport Beach and a portion of the City of Costa Mesa. This is a decrease from the 297 homeless youth and children enrolled in 2003/04. To help ascertain the City's local need, contact was made with groups that provide assistance to persons in need of emergency shelter and assistance. These agencies that provide housing and other services for the homeless in the region include the Orange County Housing Authority, Serving People In Need (SPIN), Families Forward, Human Options, Colette's Children's Home, and others. Detailed descriptions of services offered by these agencies are contained in Appendix H2 to this element. Conversation with local service providers indicate that while the number of homeless in the City is difficult to quantify, there is a growing number of "at- risk" individuals that are having trouble meeting rising rental and mortgage prices. These persons are not visibly homeless but have difficulty finding and affording housing in Newport Beach. These include senior households that require help with one- time rental assistance or singles and families that live within the City. Due to the recent recession in the mortgage and building industry, there are a growing number of individuals that have lost their jobs or have had a reduction in employment hours and have difficulty making their mortgage payments and other bills. These individuals often request financial or service assistance." Families Forward, a local service provider, estimates that of the 2,500 persons annually served in south Orange County, between 150 to 200 persons that request assistance are from Newport Beach. Additional information was provided by Colette's Children's Home (CCH) which provides shelter for homeless women and children throughout Orange County. CCH operates four homes in Orange County including Anaheim, Fountain Valley, and two homes in Huntington Beach. Since 1998, CCH has served over 800 women and children. CCH indicate that approximately 20 requests have originated from women and children in Newport Beach. Human Options, which provides housing and services for women and children in Orange County that deal with the effects of domestic violence, estimate that of the 2,000 persons per year that receive housing and counseling services, about 40 to 45 are from Newport Beach. According to Human Options, the number of women and children seeking services per year has increased slightly, but that may be due more to the center becoming more well-known and not due to rapid increase in need.' The City's strategy to address homelessness in the City is to adopt the regional homeless priorities and strategies, listed herein, as its own. The City will continue to work with the area's Continuum of Care (CoC) providers to address the CoC priorities and goals. In addition, the City continues to utilize CDBG funds to support local and regional homeless and at -risk homeless providers (Appendix H2). The City will also identify appropriate zones within the community where homeless and transitional housing are permitted as per SB regulations. The following section provides the regional strategies that have been adopted by the County. Regional Strategy The County of Orange has in place a comprehensive, coordinated, and regional Continuum of Care strategy which includes the participation of all 34 cities in the County, County agencies, homeless housing and service providers, and other community groups (including non - profits, local 5 Serving People in Need (SPIN).

Newport Beach General Plan Housinc7 Element governmental agencies, faith -based organizations, the homeless and formerly homeless, as well as interested business leaders) to identify the gaps and unmet needs of the County's homeless. Leadership and coordination of Orange County's CoC planning process is the shared responsibility of the Orange County HCS Department, Info Link Orange County, and the OC Partnership. Known as the Community Forum Collaborative (Collaborative), this public- private- nonprofit partnership helps ensure comprehensive, regional coordination of efforts and resources to reduce the number of homeless and persons at risk of homelessness throughout Orange County. The cumulative role of the Collaborative is to act as a regional convener of the year -round CoC planning process and as a catalyst for the involvement of the public and private agencies that make up the regional system of care. To facilitate their mission, the Orange County Continuum of Care Steering Committee and the Leadership Cabinet were formed. This grassroots, community-based effort, in conjunction with a comprehensive needs assessment, resulted in the development of funding priorities aimed to serve the most pressing, unmet needs of the homeless in Orange County. Orange County's regional CoC provides emergency, transitional, and permanent supportive housing, plus services, to address the needs of homeless persons and enable transition to independent living. The CoC system serves the needs of the homeless through a range of nonprofit organizations (faith -based and community- based), federal, state, and local governmental agencies, public housing authorities, local businesses, schools and universities, law enforcement, private donors, and homeless/ formerly homeless persons. The CoC aims at ending chronic homelessness by 2012 through the following goals • Expand chronic homeless population served • Expand services and shelter for chronic homeless veterans • Community education and outreach • Implement regional discharge plan Farm Workers The special housing needs of farm workers result from low wages and the seasonal nature of their employment. The 2000 Census of Population and Housing estimated farm workers comprised less than 0.2 percent of the population in Newport Beach and approximately 1 percent of the County population. Therefore, demand for housing generated by farm workers in the City was nominal and could be addressed adequately by overall housing affordability programs in the City and the County. This remains the case in the City of Newport Beach. HOUSING NEEDS RHNA Allocation In accordance with State Housing Element law, the Southern California Association of Governments (SLAG) has prepared a Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) to identify the housing need for each jurisdiction within the SCAG region. This assessment was prepared for the 2006 -2014 period. The RHNA allocates Newport Beach's share of housing units required to satisfy housing needs resulting from projected growth in the region. To accommodate projected growth in the region, SCAG estimates the City needs to target its housing unit production to accommodate 1,769 new housing units. State law requires SCAG to distribute new units on the basis of income to avoid further Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element impaction of localities with relatively high proportions of low- income households. It also is required that existing housing need be identified. SCAG estimated the existing need in Newport Beach is for 1,769 dwellings. The tables below indicate future need for housing in Newport Beach and its distribution by income group as calculated by the RHNA. The "special needs" population in Newport Beach most numerous and in need of affordable housing is senior citizens (age 65 and older).

The following section of the Housing Element provides an inventory of land determined suitable for development of affordable housing. In 2006, the City completed a comprehensive update of its General Plan including an update of the Land Use Element. The General Plan recognizes that most of the City will be conserved and establishes policies for their protection and long -term maintenance. However, the General Plan identifies several areas where substantive land use changes may be anticipated over the next 20 years. Other than Banning Ranch, this would occur within existing developed areas of the City as infill and replacement of previously permitted retail and office development capacity. These areas provide an attainable opportunity to create approximately 5,000 new housing units in the community, (up to 3,758 units excluding the Banning Ranch area). In addition, all of the new residential units will be subject to the provisions of the City's inclusionary housing program. The City's goal over the planning period is for an average of 15 percent of all new housing units to be affordable to very low —, low -, and moderate - income households. Since a limited amount of vacant land remains in the community, future housing development in accordance with the update of the General Plan would be achieved through infill development and reuse of sites with existing, possibly obsolete land uses. The land use changes in each of these areas are presented in Table H34.

Average Density of 30 units1wre is t* default density required by Housing Element law to accommodate lower income households for urbanized areas (AB2348) Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element John Wayne Airport Area The Airport Area encompasses the properties abutting and east of John Wayne Airport (JWA) and is in close proximity to the Irvine Business Complex and University of California, Irvine (Figure Hl). Existing uses include research and development, office, high technology, industrial and commercial uses. Development in the Airport Area is restricted due to the noise impacts of JWA. Much of the southwestern portion of the area is located in the JWA Airport Environs Land Use Plan (AELUP) 65 dBA CNEL, which is unsuitable for residential and other "noise- sensitive" uses. Additionally, building heights are restricted for aviation safety. The General Plan provides for the maintenance and limited expansion of the currently developed mix of uses. Additionally, it identifies this Area as one of the greatest opportunities in the community to create new residential neighborhoods including workforce housing, through the replacement of existing uses and new construction on underutilized surface parking lots. The housing capacity for the John Wayne Airport planning area was determined by the maximum permissible new automobile trips that could be generated for the statistical area in which it is located (Figure LU3 statistical area L4), in compliance with City Charter Section 423 and Measure S. Land Use Element Policy LU 6.15.5 allocates a maximum of 2,200 housing units in areas designated as MU -112 on the General Plan land use diagram (Figure Hl and Figure H2). Housing and mixed -use areas are not located within areas exposed to noise levels of 65 dBA CNEL and higher. All of the units may be developed as replacement of existing uses, while a maximum of 550 of the total may be developed as infill on existing surface parking lots with the latter replaced in parking structures. Land Use Element Policy LU 6.15.7 stipulates that residential units be developed at a maximum density of 50 units per acre and minimum of 30 units per acre. As the MU -H2 district contains approximately 207 acres, which, if fully redeveloped, would yield 6,210 to 10,350 units considerably exceeding the limits imposed by Policy LU 6.15.5. Conversion of the entire area designated for housing is unlikely due to the presence of existing viable office, industrial, and retail uses. For the purposes of determining a realistic level of potential development, existing uses were surveyed and properties determined to be underutilized and subject to conversion were identified (Housing Element Appendix 144). Additionally, the owners of a number of properties approached the City and expressed interest in redeveloping these sites for housing. Based on these analyses and input, areas considered highly suitable for change are depicted on Figure Hl and Figure H2, which depicts a series of clustered residential "villages." Potential housing units include a mix of building types ranging from townhomes to high -rises to accommodate a variety of household types and incomes. Cumulatively, areas determined as susceptible to change contain approximately 125 acres. Of these, 24.9 acres consist of surface parking lots, which would be limited by Policy LU 6.15.5 to a maximum of 550 units (see above). If developer' at the maximum density of 50 units per acre, 11 acres (44 percent) would be re -used, while at the minimum density of 30 units per acre, 18 acres (72 percent) would be re -used. The remaining 100.2 acres would be subject to the replacement of existing uses and buildings. If the 1,650 remaining units permitted by policy are developed here, a maximum of 33 acres (33 percent) would be redeveloped at 50 units per acre and 55 -acres (55 percent) at 30 units per acre. If no housing is developed as ing on the parking lots and all 2,200 permitted units are developed as replacement of existing uses, 44 acres would be required at the maximum density and 73 acres at the minimum density. Housing development, however, is likely to occur as both infill and re- development as evidenced by submittal of applications by property owners such as Koll and Conexant which both own large parcels of land.

It stipulates that residential neighborhoods contain a minimum of 10 contiguous acres centered on a neighborhood park and other amenities. The first phase of development must contain at least five gross acres, exclusive of rights -of -way, which Policy LU 6.15.7 requires to be developed at 45 to 50 units per acre averaged over the entire first phase development area. This would yield between 225 to 250 units, 15 percent of which must be affordable as per the City's Inclusionary Housing Program. To determine the market feasibility of unit developed at densities prescribed for the John Wayne Airport Area, housing development densities in the adjoining Irvine Business Complex (IBC) were reviewed. Data indicates that those units constructed have averaged, at 50 units per acre. It can be reasonably expected that the John Wayne Airport Area, could support comparable densities. The feasibility for infill and re -use for housing is supported by the fact that several property owners and developers have approached the City of Newport Beach to request consideration for new housing development, such as owners of the Conexant site where development on 15.4 of the total 26.9 acres have been proposed. Conexant submitted a Conceptual Development Plan in July 2007, which involves the redevelopment of new residential and mixed -uses as infill and replacement of existing office and business park functions currently on the site. At 30 units per acre this would yield 462 units and at 50 units per acres it would yield 770 units. To the west of Conexant, property owners of the Koll Center Newport have expressed interest in accommodating housing, with approximately 25 acres of surface parking available for development. The City is currently preparing a Community Development Plan for both properties to facilitate residential development. Newport Center Newport Center is a regional center of business and commerce that includes major retail, professional office, entertainment, recreation, and housing in a master planned mixed -use development. Fashion Island, a regional shopping center, forms the nucleus of Newport Center (Figure H3). The General Plan identifies the goal of creating a successful mixed -use district that integrates economic and commercial centers serving the needs of Newport Beach residents and the sub - region, with expanded opportunities for residential development. The Land Use Element creates a new residential land use designation of Mixed -Use Horizontal 3 (MU -H3) on the northern portion of the subarea. The MU -H designation provides for the horizontal intermixing of regional commercial office, hotel, multi - family residential, and ancillary commercial uses. Up to 450 new higher- density multi - family housing units are accommodated in this area. A detailed parcel- specific survey of existing vacant and underutilized parcels that can accommodate the new 450 residential uses is included in Housing Element Appendix H4. The Irvine Company (TIC) is the main land owner /developer in the Newport Center area and has recently submitted a Planned Community Development Plan to develop 430 of the permitted 450 mixed -use units (within Block 500, 600 and San Joaquin Plaza). The maximum height limits within Block 500 and 600 is 295 feet, while buildings are limited to 65 feet within San Joaquin Plaza. Density levels have yet to be determined. Newport Beach General Plan sing Element The City requires that an Affordable Housing Implementation Plan (AHIP) be prepared for projects with more than 50 residential units. As part of the proposed 430 mixed -use units, the Planned Community Development Plan includes an Affordable Housing Plan (AHIP), a required component of the City's existing Affordable Housing Implementation Program requirements. The North Newport Center AHIP was approved in December 2007. The requirement for affordable housing is based on income categories. The Irvine Company is required to provide either very low —, low -, or moderate - income housing, or a combination of income categories, using the percentages shown below: • Very Low: 43 units (10 %) • Low: 65 units (15 %) • Moderate: 86 units (20 %) To meet these requirements, the North Newport Center Planned Community AHIP includes the construction of 14 affordable multi - family units on a 0.75 -acre parcel of land near the intersection of San Joaquin Hills Road and San Miguel Avenue and /or the creation of affordability covenants for 29 to 89 existing units. At this location, the units must be rented to households qualifying as very low —, low -, or moderate - income households for a period of at least 30 years. In addition, there are 79 units approved with the Santa Barbara Condominium project within Newport Center that includes 16 affordable low- and moderate - income housing units. All of the affordable units will be required to be affordable for a period of 30 years. This project was approved by the Newport Beach City Council in 2006 by the Local Coastal Commission in 2007. Another private land owner in the Newport Center area is presently in discussion with the City to develop a 30 -unit multi- family rental and condominium project on the site presently occupied by the Newport Beach Tennis Club. This is a market -rate development that would be subject to the City's in- lieu fee program. The developer will have a choice whether to provider affordable units to pay the City's in -lieu fee. Banning Ranch Located within the City's Sphere of Influence (SOI) in the western-most portion of the Newport Beach Planning Area, the Banning Ranch area encompasses approximately 518 acres, of which 465 acres (including 47 acres of water features) are under the jurisdiction of Orange County and 53 acres are within the jurisdiction of the City of Newport Beach. The site is located within the coastal zone boundary and is subject to the provisions of the Orange County Local Coastal Program (LCP). However, the site is referred to as a "white hole," because neither the City's nor the County's LCP provides land use designations for the Banning Ranch area (Figure 114). The Land Use Element prioritizes the retention of the Banning Ranch property as open space, consolidating existing oil operations, restored wetlands and habitat, and a community park to serve adjoining neighborhoods. However, due to the significant cost of purchasing the site and amount of the area that would need extensive habitat restoration, a large amount of revenue would need to be generated to help fund preservation of the majority of the property as open space. Should the property not be acquired for open space, the Land Use Element considers the possible development of a mixed- density residential village that would include open space, convenience commercial, and Newport Beach General Plan U l7 z w w D)O O z z iL�x _ w 0 z LL U 1 z S8 w a a i � _ppa A � C Mg.

The Land Use Element designates the Banning Ranch Area as Open Space (OS) and Residential Village (RV). This designation provides for the development of a planned residential community that integrates up to 1,375 single -family detached, single -family attached, two family, and /or multi -family residential units with supporting schools, parks, community services, local- serving convenience commercial uses and services, and open spaces. Future development would require a master plan or specific plan to depict the specific uses, development standards, density levels, infrastructure improvements, design guidelines, and financial plan. Due to the long time frame for potential development of the site, including the necessity of obtaining the necessary federal and state regulatory permits and the creation and approval of a planned community development plan, residential development of Banning Ranch will not occur during this Housing Element cycle. However, the owners of the property are actively engaged in planning with the City. Balboa Peninsula Area The Balboa Peninsula area is comprised of a series of coastal districts linked by the Newport Boulevard /Balboa Boulevard commercial and residential corridor. These include Lido Village, Cannery Village, McFadden Square, and Balboa Village. The General Plan identifies the potential for new mixed -use development within these areas (Figure H5 and Figure H6). These areas are highly urbanized and are adequately by existing infrastructure including sewer, water, police, and fire services. These areas also have no significant environmental constraints that would impede new housing development. Cannery Village Cannery Village is the historic center of the City's commercial fishing and boating industry and contains a mix of small shops, art galleries, professional offices, and service establishments. Recent redevelopment activity within this area has been composed of new residential and mixed -use development such as Cannery Lofts, a 22 -unit live /work project. All of these units were market -rate, loft -style ownership units. Older developments include some single -family residential units combined with commercial uses on single lots. The updated Land Use Element designates the Cannery Village Area as Mixed -Use Horizontal 4 (MU -H4) and Mixed -Use Water 2 W-W2). The intent of the MU -H4 land use category is to create a distinct district or neighborhood containing multi- family residential homes with clusters of mixed -use and /or commercial buildings at intersections. Mixed -use buildings are permissible throughout the area. Density ranges for multi- family residential uses are 20.1 to 26.7 units per net acre. Mixed -use parcels have a maximum floor area ratio of 1.5 with a maximum floor area to land area ratio of 0.5 for commercial and maximum of 1.0 for residential uses. The MU -W2 designation applies to waterfront parcels within Cannery Village. Permitted uses include mixed -use structures that vertically integrate housing within retail uses, where the ground floor shall be restricted to retail and other pedestrian-active uses along the street frontage and /or the upper floors used for residential units or non - residential uses including retail and office. Mixed -use parcels have a maximum floor area ratio of 1.25 with a maximum floor area to land ratio of 0.35 for commercial and a maximum of 0.75 for residential purposes. The average size of parcels designated as MU -W2 and MU -H4 in Cannery Village 0.08 acre or 3,840 square feet. Newport Beach General Plan Housin Lido Village Lido Village is primarily developed with commercial uses including grocery stores, restaurants, salons, home furnishings, apparel, and other specialty shops. It also includes Lido Marina Village, a pedestrian - oriented waterfront development that includes visitor- serving commercial uses, specialty stores, and marine uses. The guiding General Plan goal for Lido Village is to create a mixture of land uses within a pedestrian - oriented village environment. To facilitate these uses, a portion of the Lido Village General Plan subarea has been designated as Mixed -Use Water 2 (MU -W2) and Multiple Residential (RM(20 /ac)). The MU -W2 designation applies to waterfront parcels. Permitted uses include mixed -use structures that vertically integrate housing with retail uses, where the ground floor shall be restricted to retail and other pedestrian-active uses along the street frontage and /or the upper floors used for residential units or non - residential uses including retail and office. Mixed -use parcels within the Lido Village area have a maximum floor area ratio of 1.5 with a maximum commercial floor area of 0.7 and a maximum of 0.8 for residential purposes. This translates to a maximum density of 26.7 dwelling units per acre for mixed -use projects. The RM(20 /ac) designation is intended to provide multi - family residential development containing attached or detached dwelling units up to 20 dwelling units /acre (Figure H7). As shown in Housing Element Appendix H4, up to 165 new dwelling units can be accommodated within Lido Village on sites currently occupied by commercial and office uses. Balboa Village Balboa Village has served as the center for recreational and social activities on the Peninsula. Many of the existing land uses include retail uses and are visitor- oriented and seasonal in nature. The Balboa Village cote is surrounded by residences, with isolated pockets of commercial uses scattered along Balboa Boulevard. Balboa Village and the greater Peninsula have experienced a transition to year - round residential occupancy while the visitor uses have continued. The General Plan calls for a portion of the Village Core area to be designated as MU -V which provides for the development of mixed -use structures that vertically integrate retail commercial, and office or related functions on the ground floor and the upper floors used for residential units. Non - residential uses are also permitted including office and commercial activities. The floor area ratio for mixed -use buildings is 1.5; with a floor area ratio of 0.35 -0.5 for commercial and maximum of 1.0 for residential uses. The average size of parcels designated as MU -V in Balboa Village 0.10 acre or 4,356 square feet. McFadden Square McFadden Square surrounds the Newport Pier and extends between the ocean front and harbor. Commercial land uses are largely concentrated in the strips along Balboa and Newport Boulevards, with residential along the ocean front and marine- related uses fronting the harbor. Numerous visitor - serving uses include restaurants, beach hotels, tourist- oriented shops (t -shirt shops, bike rentals, and surf shops), as well as service operations and facilities that serve the Peninsula. Historically, the area has been known for its marine - related industries such as shipbuilding and repair facilities and boat storage on the harbor. Much of the McFadden Square area is pedestrian - oriented, with storefronts facing the street, the presence of signage at a pedestrian scale, and outdoor furniture, providing a pleasant environment for visitors. The Land Use Element identifies a portion of McFadden Square as Mixed -Use Water 2 (MU -W2). This designation is applied to waterfront locations in which marine - related uses may be intermixed with mixed -use buildings that integrate housing with ground level Newport Beach General Plan CITY of NEWPORT BEACH GENERAL PLAN Figure H5 BALBOA PENINSULA LIDO VILLAGE/ OSub -Area Tidelands and submerged lands City Boundary Highway Fwt Ec—C of Na ft � ant EF AmcMes F EON KR 105791rI pale: ma3 LAND USE POLICY (q; Mixed!

The floor area ratio for mixed -use buildings is 1.25, with a minimum floor area ratio of 0.35 and maximum of 0.75 for residential uses. The average size of parcels designated as MU -W2 in McFadden Square is 0.12 acre or 5,230 square feet. Mariners' Mile Mariners' Mile is a heavily traveled segment of Coast Highway extending from the Arches Bridge on the west to Dover Drive on the east (Figure H8). It is developed with a mix of highway- oriented retail and marine related commercial uses. The latter are primarily concentrated on bay - fronting properties and include boat sales and storage, sailing schools, marinas, visitor- serving restaurants, and comparable uses. There are no significant infrastructure or environmental constraints within the Mariners' Mile area that that would impede new housing development. A number of properties contain non - marine commercial uses, offices, and a multi-story residential building. The General Plan identifies Mariners' Mile as a location appropriate for mixed -use development integrating residential and commercial or office space. The Land Use Element identifies Mariners' Mile as Mixed -Use Water 1 (MU -Wl), Mixed -Use Horizontal 1 (MU -H1) and General Commercial (CG). On the inland side of Coast Highway, land is designated as Mixed -Use Horizontal 1 (MU -H1), and General Commercial (CG -0.3 and CG -0.5) to accommodate a mix of visitor and local- serving retail commercial, residential, and public uses. Coast Highway frontages shall be developed for marine - related and highway- oriented general commercial uses, and properties located on interior streets may be developed for free - standing neighborhood - serving retail, multi- family residential units, or mixed - use buildings that integrate residential with retail uses on the ground floor. The floor area ratio of mixed -use buildings is 1.5 with a maximum commercial floor area to land ratio of 0.5 and a maximum of 1.0 for residential uses. Densities for multi- family residential uses range from 20.1 to 26.7. Bayfronting properties along Mariners' Mile are designated MU -W1 which permits the inter - mixing of marine- related and residential uses. Permitted uses include multi- family residential, mixed -use, and commercial activities. Residential uses are permitted on parcels with a minimum frontage of 200 lineal feet where a minitnum of 50 percent of the permitted square footage shall be devoted to non- residential uses. The floor area ratio of mixed -use buildings is 1.25. Multi -family residential densities are 12 units per adjusted gross acre, with the number of units calculated on a maximum of 50 percent of the property. The average size of parcels designated as MU -W1 and MU -H1 in Mariner's Mile is 0.60 acre or 26,500 square feet. Corona del Mar The Corona del Mar corridor extends along Coast Highway between Avocado Avenue and Hazel Drive. It is developed with commercial uses and specialty shops that primarily serve adjoining residential neighborhoods. Among the area's primary uses are restaurants, home furnishing stores, and miscellaneous apparel and professional offices. Almost half of the commercial uses are located in multi- tenant buildings with retail on the ground floor and professional services above. Other uses Newport Beach General Plan No Housina Element include the Sherman Library and Gardens, a research library and botanical garden open to the public, and an assisted -living residential complex. The updated General Plan intends Corona del Mar as a pedestrian- oriented village with office and service uses that serve surrounding neighborhoods. New development largely would occur as replacement of existing uses and developed at comparable budding heights and scale. Additional parking would be provided by the re -use of parcels at the rear of commercial properties and /or in shared parking lots or structures developed on Coast Highway. General Plan land use designations for Coronal del Mar include Corridor Commercial (CC) with an FAR of 0.75 and Multiple Residential (RNNI). Per the Land Use Element up to 8 dwelling units may be accommodated on the two adjoining RM parcels that are currently occupied by a dirt parking lot. (Appendix 144 and Figure 1­19). The City has received inquiries from an architect about potential housing development on these vacant parcels, but no formal plans have been submitted. West Newport Mesa The West Newport Mesa area contains a mixture of residential, office, commercial, industrial, and public uses. It is immediately abutted by Hoag Hospital, a major employment center. The General Plan identifies the opportunity to develop new, complementary uses such as residential, medical offices and other facilities supporting Hoag Hospital. In addition, providing well- planned residential neighborhoods will enable residents to live close to their jobs and reduce commutes to outlying areas. Residential uses within this area are permitted under the Multiple Family Residential category at up to 18 dwelling units per acre. Approximately 100 new residential units could be developed as new and replacement housing (Figure H10). Energy Conservation Opportunities The City of Newport Beach fully enforces provisions of Title 24 of the California Administrative Code, which require energy conservation in new residences. Standards in Title 24 create energy savings of approximately 50 percent over residential construction practices utilized prior to the Title 24 enactment. The City of Newport Beach Building Department is aware of energy conserving design innovations and solar technology. The department utilizes the Solar Systems Code Review Manual and its companion document, the Pool and Spa Solar Systems Code Review Manual, published by the International Code Council (ICC) to facilitate installation of appropriate solar systems. Under existing state law (the California Resources Code), local jurisdictions may adopt structural energy conservation standards in excess of the existing state standard. Such an increase in standards would be of marginal value bee ruse of the moderate climate of the City of Newport Beach. Additionally, increases in conservation standards generally increase housing costs and therefore exacerbate the existing housing affordability concern. The City's updated Natural Resources Element contains policies that promote energy efficient construction for residential development and encourage the provision of energy alternatives such as solar power. Any future residential development would be subject to the policies contained within the General Plan. •a Newport Beach General Plan \ m§ �§ 3� =� \� \ / �k § �! } � \! !)| ° ))! �} ) t\: >: #$p A> OT \ o� o 3)2f ) \ -a § 2�\ )/ o /a k§ t0 .E \[ E & Eco \ \} 29- 277 )2( ƒc: /_ =2»§ b2 @E 2ƒ(\ LU �U R0 (IC 0) \ ■ 0 C3 0 <o° =!�e a,tz �`;o «»= �F- // ® �! } � \! !)| ° ))! �} ) t\: >: #$p A> OT \ o� o 3)2f ) \ -a § 2�\ )/ o /a k§ t0 .E \[ E & Eco \ \} 29- 277 )2( ƒc: /_ =2»§ b2 @E 2ƒ(\ LU �U R0 (IC 0) ¢V Q m Z Qi Kd W i o� o (DQ � z Z L0 oU' Q U U O 0 T m 7D E -6 Q 4' m ��� �s v- �8 s a z "G e � r Nw Pst z.

Although specific energy savings are difficult to quantify because of the myriad of variables involved in a transportation system, it is generally true that physical proximity between home and work saves transportation energy. Existing affordability concerns in Newport Beach increase energy use by forcing workers employed within the City to seek less expensive housing outside the City. New mixed -use development opportunities may help by reducing the length and frequency of automobile trips and energy usage. However, the jobs /housing imbalance in the City cannot be totally mitigated by increased residential development within the City. Newport Beach is not in an area of geothermal or significant wind activity and consequently cannot take advantage of these "alternative" energy sources. It appears that the City, through enforcement of Title 24 and sensitivity to innovative design, is maximizing residential energy conservation opportunities. NONGOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS Community Attitudes The citizenry in Newport Beach is well organized through neighborhood homeowners associations and community environmental groups. There exists strong public sentiment in favor of preserving the suburban environment in the City. Public sentiment is a constraint because of its influence on local officials and because of the ability of citizens to establish development policies and zoning through the initiative process. In November 2000, an initiative passed in the City of Newport Beach that requires a general election be conducted to approve General Plan Amendment applications that include increases of 100 or more dwelling units or that would generate more than 100 peak hour trips. See Governmental Constraints for additional discussion of this initiative. Financing Constraints Financing costs largely are not subject to local influence. Control of interest rates is determined by national policies and economic conditions. Interest rates directly influence purchasing power of home - buyers and cost of home construction through construction loans. Currently, interest rates are at a level that enables many of the upper and middle economic classes to afford a home purchase. However, the banking industry has adopted more conservative lending criteria for construction loans, especially for multiple - family housing. These factors have influenced housing supply throughout Southern California. High interest rates substantially reduce home purchasing potential of households. New homebuyers find the housing product they can afford is substantially less than their expectation. Difficulty in producing housing affordable to first -time homebuyers is compounded. While cost of production has increased, purchasing power of some customers has decreased due to inflation, interest rate fluctuations, and limited choices for housing types. Because development costs in Newport Beach are higher than in other areas of the state, housing is even further out of the reach of first -time homebuyers. Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element With savings and loan institutions and other home loan lenders experiencing higher costs in attracting funds, it is extremely difficult for the fixed rate, long -term mortgage to be used as the primary mortgage instrument for housing finance purposes. Consequently, variable rate mortgages, equity appreciation mortgages, and other techniques are being promoted. This smorgasbord of "creative financing" helps to maintain a higher level of capital for housing than might otherwise be available. Land and Construction Costs Land costs and construction costs are significant components of housing cost. Land costs are a function of the private market and are relatively high due to the City's location near major employment centers and the Pacific Ocean. Due to the built out nature of the City, vacant land that is available for development of any kind and for affordable housing projects in particular, is extremely limited, and cannot be compared to surrounding jurisdictions. Construction costs also are set by the private market and are influenced by a variety of factors including availability and price of materials and labor, quality of construction, and amenities offered. Cost factors used to estimate the cost of construction for new housing in 2007 is approximately as follows: • Multi- Familyf er gtoss square foot) $140 apartment buildings /$150 condominiums' • Single -Family Dwellings lamer g ox ss square foot Wood Frame $130.00 (average quality); $160.00 (good quality) Growing market demand for housing in Newport Beach and little remaining vacant land in the City has had a strong impact on financial aspects of residential development in the City. The greatest impact of this market demand on cost of new housing is seen in the price of residential land in the City. According to a recent study, land entitled for multi- family housing in Newport Beach would cost $3,250,000 per acre.' Density increases often are used to offset high construction and land costs. Density increases may decrease land costs on a per -unit basis, but sales prices of units in Newport Beach indicate density increases do not necessarily bring the cost of housing to consumers to a level that is affordable to lower- or even moderate- income households. Assuming that both apartments and condominiums would be built at 20 units an acre, the land cost would be $162,000 per unit.10 In addition, high residential densities involving buildings taller than three stories will greatly increase unit marketability in many areas of the City because of the addition of a view factor. Regardless of square- footage or density, a unit with a blue water or white water view can be marketed as a luxury condominium and command an extremely high price. Higher land costs in the City are the main factor in higher square - footage costs for housing provision. High land costs also trigger higher costs in other areas of development. To balance land prices, developers must increase amenities within the housing unit as well as within the community area. Thus, a higher land price is the factor that triggers increased development costs. 6 Indusionary Housing In -Lieu Fee Study. October 2007. EPS 9 Ibid 10 [bid Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element Infrastructure Constraints The City of Newport Beach is primarily a built -out community that is adequately served by existing infrastructure including sewer, water, and police and fire services. Presently, the main area in the community that is not served by any water or sewer infrastructure is Banning Ranch. However, if the Banning Ranch area is annexed to the City, the City intends to provide service to this area." With the exception of the as yet undeveloped Banning Ranch area, which has a potential development horizon beyond the RHNA period, new development will primarily occur through the re -use and intensification of existing land uses in other areas of the City as previously discussed. According to the City of Newport Beach Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan Update (April, 2006), new residential development associated with implementation of the General Plan Land Use Element would not exceed the capacity of existing sewer and water facilities or police or fire protection services. Specifically, new residential development within the Airport Area, Newport Center, Mariners' Mile, and Balboa Peninsula areas will be adequately served by existing infrastructure. Environmental Constraints Very few areas of vacant, developable land remain within Newport Beach. Open areas include the beach, bay, parks, and undeveloped areas such as Banning Ranch, and the canyons, hillsides, and bluffs of Newport Ridge /Coast. The Housing Element concentrates new infill housing development and redevelopment within several specified areas: Newport Center /Fashion Island, Balboa Village, Balboa Peninsula, Mariners' Mile, West Newport Mesa, West Newport Highway, and the Airport Area. Development within each of these areas would involve the re -use or intensification of land uses, with no significant environmental constraints within these areas." The only housing opportunity area identified in the updated General Plan and associated Environmental Impact Report with significant environmental constraints is the Banning Ranch area. The Banning Ranch area includes significant environmental resources including wetlands, habitat areas, sensitive wildlife, and valuable biological resources. However, as mentioned previously, the Banning Ranch area has a potential development horizon beyond the RHNA period, and is not identified as a housing opportunity area within this Housing Element. GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS This section of the Housing Element addresses actual and potential City governmental constraints on development of housing for all income levels. Such constraints include land use controls (zoning), building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and local processing, and permit procedures. In many of these areas, localities have varying degrees of discretion to modify state standards for local implementation and /or conditions. Included in this analysis are constraints created by specific state regulations. As previously mentioned, there is a relatively limited supply of vacant land remaining for development in the City of Newport Beach. This limitation on the supply of land and accompanying existing urban development patterns of the City shape City land use regulations. tt City of Newport Beach Draft Environmental Impact Report. General Plan Update. 04/2006 12 Ibid. Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element Voter Initiative: Section 423 of the City Charter All housing opportunities identified in the Table H34: Potential Residential Sites are not subject to Charter Section 423 as a result of voter approval of Measure Vin November 2006. Background: In November, 2000, the voters of the City of Newport Beach approved a ballot initiative (Measure S) which is now "Section 423 of the City Charter." It requires voter approval of any project that increases density, intensity, or peak hour trip, above that provided for in the General Plan. Significance is quantified as 100 or more dwelling units, over 100 peak hour trips, or 40,000 or more square feet of non - residential floor area. Charter Section 423 applies exclusively to General Plan amendments. For projects with a General Plan amendment, it could delay the effective date(s) of discretionary approval(s) until the approval(s) are submitted to the Newport Beach electorate. The time frame for the potential delay(s) is controlled by the normal election cycle (every two years) or a developer(s) willingness to fund a special election(s). Should a developer propose a housing project that exceeds the allocation provided in the General Plan, a General Plan Amendment would be required and review of the project would be subject to review pursuant to the Measure S Guidelines. If the project exceeds the established threshold(s) and is approved by the City Council, the General Plan amendment would then be subject to a vote. The project proponent would then have to wait until the next regular municipal election or, a special election could be held if the City and project proponent enter into an agreement to share the costs of the special election. 2006 Election — Voter Approval of the General Plan Update On November 11, 2006, the City's comprehensive General Plan Update was placed on the ballot (Measure V) as required by Charter Section 423 and approved by the voters. As a result, all dwelling units and residential densities in the General Plan can be developed without a General Plan amendment and vote. Therefore, it is important to note that all sites identified in Table H34 (Potential Residential Sites) are not subject to an additional Vote under Charter Section 423. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65915, Charter Section 423 will have no impact on the City's ability to provide density bonuses required by state law for affordable housing projects on sites already designated for residential development. California Government Code Section 65915(8)(5) states: (5) All density calculations resulting in fractional units shall be rounded up to the next whole number. The granting of a density bonus shall not be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, local coastal plan amendment, zoning change, or other discretionary approval. As used in subdivision (b), "twal units' or "total dwelling units" does not include units permitted by a density bonus awarded pursuant to this section or any local law granting a greater density bonus. The density bonus provided by this section shall apply to housing developments consisting of five or more dwelling units. However, Charter Section 423 could be a constraint to development if a development proposal exceeds the updated General Plan levels for market rate units and /or affordable units beyond those provided for in state density bonus law. It is important to note, however, that Charter Section 423 will not have any impact on the allowed density established for the identified housing sites to more than adequately meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation, including affordable units. As e Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element indicated in the prior paragraph, this section is only applicable when a change to the existing General Plan is proposed. Zoning The City Zoning Code is complex but typical for an already highly developed community. The Code uses a "district" concept appropriate to the diverse urban patterns and topography found in the City. The Zoning Code contains six basic zoning districts (excluding Planned Community districts and other specialized districts) to regulate residential uses within the City. These zoning districts are R -A (Residential Agricultural), R -1 (Single Family Residential), R -1.5 (Restricted Two - Family Residential), R -2 (Two - Family Residential), Medium Density Residential (RIAD) and MFR (Multi -Family Residential). Table H35 summarizes Zoning Code provisions for residential density, height, set - backs, and parking. Parking requirements are also set forth by the California Coastal Commission.

Excludes building area used for parking d Twenty feet, unless otherwise specified on districting maps Other special yard and building distance requirements may apply Zoning Code requirements could be considered constraints to development because they place demands on the land that limit space that could be utilized for dwelling units. However, zoning standards are designed to protect the quality of life and provide, at a minimum, some access to sunlight and fresh air. Access to air and sun are guaranteed through building setbacks, open space requirements, maximum building heights, and floor area ratios. The Newport Beach Zoning Code controls density for each zoning district through development regulations pertaining to land required per dwelling unit. In the older neighborhoods of the City, density standards have not changed since 1936. Densities in the amount of approximately thirty Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element dwelling units per acre are still allowed in these areas. In the newer neighborhoods, developed since the 1960s, single - family densities are generally less than 10 dwelling units per acres. The City's Codes contain many procedures to grant relief from certain development standards which can be of assistance in allowing higher densities. However, even if the City is willing to approve reductions in some of the zoning regulations, (such as parking), the California Coastal Commission has similar development requirements which would still need to be complied with for properties in the Coastal Zone. Maximum density in the Multifamily Residential Zone (MFR) is a function of the size of the lot. For example, a minimum lot area per dwelling unit of 1,200 square feet applies, which translates to a maximum density of 36 units per net acre. Within the Medium Density Residential Zone (RMD), up to approximately 22 dwelling units could be developed. Special Needs Housing Group Homes The term "group home" as used by HCD is interchangeable with the City's definition of a "residential care facility." Licensed residential care facilities for six or fewer persons are permitted by right in all residentially -zoned properties, in accordance with state law, and are treated as single family residences. Residential care facilities for seven or more persons and unlicensed residential care facilities are permitted in the following zoning districts, with a Use Permit issued by a Hearing Officer ■ Residential District —MFR zoning district ■ Planned Community Districts — Property development regulations applicable to residential districts, related to residential care facilities and Single Room Occupancy (SRO) residential hotel uses, shall also apply to the corresponding portions of the PC Districts. Convalescent facilities that provide care on a 24 -hour basis for persons requiring regular medical attention, but excluding facilities providing surgical or emergency medical services are permitted in the GEIF, M -1, and M -1 -A Districts with a Use Permit. These facilities are also permitted in the APF District with a Use Permit issued by the Planning Director Accessory Dwelling Units The City's Zoning Code includes provisions for "granny units" (accessory, age - restricted units) which may be approved by the Planning Director in single and multi- family districts. The second dwelling unit is intended for the sole occupancy of 1 or 2 adult persons who are 60 years or older, and the size of the unit does not exceed 640 square feet. Since adoption of the City's "accessory dwelling unit" provisions, 24 age - restricted units have been authorized and 15 constructed. Emergency and Transitional Housing Transitional housing is typically defined as temporary (often six months to two years) housing for a homeless individual or family who is transitioning to permanent housing or for youth that are moving out of the foster care system. An emergency shelter is a facility that provides shelter to homeless families and /or individuals on a limited short-term basis. Currently, the City's Zoning Ordinance does not contain specific provisions for the siting and development of emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities. SB 2 requires local jurisdictions Newport Beach General Plan Housinq Element to strengthen provisions for addressing the housing needs of the homeless, including the identification of a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use without a conditional use permit. This legislation became effective as of January 1, 2008, and will apply to jurisdictions with housing elements due on June 30, 2008, and later. To be compliant with State Housing Law, the City as part of its Housing Plan will revise the Zoning Code to identify zones where emergency shelters and transitional housing are conditionally perm tted and permitted by right. For the Airport Area and Newport Center future development is subject to guidelines within the City's Planned Community (PC) District. The PC district is intended to provide for the development of larger parcels of land as coordinated, comprehensive projects that allow for a diversity of land uses. Any fixture projects that occur within the PC District must include a development plan and regulations that are consistent with the General Plan. As described in greater detail under the discussion of Inventory of Land Suitable for Residential Development, the General Plan sets forth specific policies for the Airport Area and Newport Center that facilitate the development of mixed - use, higher- density, multi- family housing. Zoning Code Consistency and Interim Development Review Process The updated General Plan created several new residential development opportunities and land use categories. Specific policies regarding land use capacity, encouragement of residential development, consolidation, and density levels are contained in the Land Use Element. These new land use categories, associated densities, and FAR limitations are identified in Table H34. For example, the updated Land Use Element calls for residential development in Airport Area to have a density of 50 units per acre, averaged over the first phase for each residential village. The minimum density for subsequent phase of residential development is 30 units per acre. These Land Use standards are not reflected in the current Zoning Code. It was therefore necessary for the City to initiate a substantial rewrite of the Zoning Code which is estimated to be completed in the summer of 2008. The updated Zoning Code will include new zoning districts and development regulations for several areas of the City including areas where residential and mixed -use designations have been added. As the Code is updated, the City will examine standards and incentives that will encourage the development of mixed -use land uses. In order to allow projects to proceed during the interim period while the Zoning Code is being rewritten, the Newport Beach City Council adopted, by resolution on January 9, 2007, a procedure for the review of projects that are consistent with the General Plan but not with the existing Zoning Code. Additionally, the use of the Planned Community Zoning District remains a viable option for developers proposing projects in the Airport Area or Newport Center. Neither of these procedures would subject a project to a vote under Charter Section 423. Newport Beach General Plan � � ®2 »± <% . � : \d CL 2 \/ ■ ! \ - ^« ' \ } a } .

The applicant would submit a development Study Plan, as required by Chapter 20.53 that establishes all development regulations for the subject property and provides for implementation of General Plan policies. All projects would be required to comply with all applicable density and FAR limitations included in the General Plan. Changes to any existing zoning regulations except height and signage may be proposed. Since applying an overlay district is legislative act, all proposed projects would require City Council review and approval. Planned Community District Revisions In areas of the City located within the Planned Community Zoning District or where projects meet minimum land area requirements, project proponents may choose to request amendments to existing planned community regulations or submit new planned community regulations. The Airport Area and Newport Center are the two areas that would be eligible for this process. This process would allow the developer to work with the City to create a master development plan for a particular area. All Planned Community District projects would be required to comply with density and FAR limitation and incorporate the goals and policies of the General Plan. The Subdivision Process Basic provisions of the City of Newport Beach Subdivision Code are similar to those of most jurisdictions of similar size to Newport Beach. The Subdivision Code contains design standards that provide minimum criteria for development. In some cases, the Code allows flexibility in application of its provisions and thereby potentially could reduce development costs. Examples of such cases are allowances for the development of non - conforming lots and park fee waivers. The Subdivision Code also addresses improvements (e.g., street trees, placing utilities underground, street lighting) that add to development costs. Additionally, the Newport Beach Subdivision Code requires dedication of parkland and /or payment of in -lieu fees concurrently to recordation of a final subdivision map. This requirement is made in compliance with state law, but also adds to costs of development. Local Coastal Program The Coastal Land Use Plan portion of the Local Coastal Program, approved by the California Coastal Commission on October 13, 2005, and adopted by the City Council on December 13, 2005, might be a constraint to providing affordable housing. The Coastal Land Use Plan consists of land use designations and resource protection and development polices for the Coastal Zone. The Land Use Plan policies result in consistency with Chapter 3 of California Coastal Act, which addresses the planning and management of coastal resources. One of the major goals of the California Coastal Act and the Coastal Land Use Plan is to assure the priority for coastal- dependent and coastal- related development over other development in the Coastal Zone, which is a constraint on residential development, particularly in areas on or near the shoreline. The Coastal Land Use Plan indicates that areas within the Coastal Zone designated for residential use are to be used primarily for residences, but indicates certain incidental uses that (with proper location Newport Beach General Plan Housing Element and design) are appropriate within coastal areas with a residential designation. These uses are to be governed by requirements of the Newport Beach Municipal Code and include senior citizen housing facilities (whose occupancy is limited to elderly persons, as defined by state or federal law). In addition, the Coastal Land Use Plan contains restrictions applicable to twelve sensitive habitat areas that limit potential residential development areas and that control and regulate locations on new buildings and structures to ensure (to the extent practical) preservation of unique natural resources and to minimize alteration of natural land forms along bluffs and cliffs. In 1981, the California Legislature enacted SB 626 (Mello), which added Government Code Section 65590 and eliminated certain provisions of the California Coaslal Act that required local coastal programs to include housing policies and programs; Section 65590 mandates coastal communities require inclusion of low- and moderate - income housing as part of new residential developments and replacement of low- and moderate - income housing eliminated as a result of demolition of existing housing within coastal zones of those communities. On August 19, 1982, the Newport Beach City Council adopted Council Policy P -1, establishing administrative guidelines and implementation procedures to administer Section 65590 within the coastal zone areas of the City. This Policy now is in the Zoning Code in Chapter 20.86 which establishes the requirement of a Coastal Residential Development Permit for certain activities involving dwelling units within the Coastal Zone. This permit ensures compliance with state law by maximizing low and moderate- income housing opportunities within the Newport Beach Coastal Zone. A Coastal Residential Development Permit is required in Newport Beach to demolish or convert 11 or more dwelling units in two or more structures, to demolish or convert 3 or more dwelling units in one structure, or to construct 10 or more dwelling units. A Coastal Residential Development Permit is not required for demolition or conversion of a residential structure to establish a nonresidential use that is "coastal related" or "coastal dependent' and that is consistent with provisions of the City of Newport Beach Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan. In addition, a Coastal Residential Development Permit is not required to demolish a residential structure declared a public nuisance or to reconstruct a nonconforming building damaged by fire, earthquake, or other calamity when a use permit is not required. The Newport Beach Municipal Code indicates replacement affordable units in the Coastal Zone shall be provided on a one - fox -one basis when demolition or conversion activities involve low- and moderate - income dwelling units, if feasible. Also, a feasibility study is required for new dwelling unit construction of 10 or more units when low- and moderate - income dwelling units are not proposed at affordability standards contained in this Housing Element. The test of feasibility shall be initially conducted at the Housing Element standard and subsequently at progressively higher standards contained in California State Health and Safety Code Section 50093. Furthermore, the City of Newport Beach and the owner of the low- and moderate - income dwelling units provided are required to enter into an affordable housing agreement (to be recorded against the property) governing the dwelling units. Senior citizen housing facilities may require higher dwelling unit limits than normally allowed in the Municipal Code. Such higher dwelling unit limits are allowed and are consistent with the Local Coastal Program when a finding can be made that the use is a particular benefit to the City and that traffic generated by the project is not greater than the predominant use allowed in the area. Senior citizen housing facilities must conform to floor area limits of applicable residential zone(s). Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element Building Codes and Enforcement Building codes regulate new construction and rehabilitation, and are designed to ensure adequate protection against fire, structural collapse, unsanitary conditions, and other safety hazards. The City Council adopted the 2007 edition of the California Building Code. These building codes establish minimum standards for construction to protect the health, safety, and welfare of citizens. These codes and regulations are based on uniform standards and are applied throughout the region and therefore are not considered to significantly impact construction costs or constrain the provision of housing for person with disabilities. State energy conservation regulations, which are cost effective in the long term, may add to construction costs. Although Chapter 11 of the California Building Code pertains only to new multi-family projects of 3 or more units, staff currently processes any and all voluntary proposals of ADA retrofits. If for any reason an applicant should request an accommodation to the code for reasons related to a disability, the Building Department is willing to closely examine the special needs of the applicant and consider a hardship request or an alternative material, design, and methods of construction request. Impact Fees The role fees play in constraining production of housing is difficult to measure, although fees can affect housing prices in certain markets. The theory behind fees is that new development should bear its own costs and these costs should be spread equitably among new development. State law requires fees beat a reasonable relationship to actual costs incurred by a city. However, fees may add significantly to the cost of a housing unit. To offset the cost of constructing housing units, the Newport Beach City Council adopted a program that allows for the waiver of all fees when affordable housing units are proposed. In addition the Municipal Code allows for the waiver of fair share trip fees. The City of Newport Beach fees for discretionary applications are compared to discretionary application fees of various nearby cities in Table H37 and Table H38. Table ..

The development review process may require a discretionary approval as part of the process and may include actions such as zone change, modification permit or use permits. The City's review procedures are considered efficient with typical zone change requests reaching completion in as few as 90 days if no environmental impact report is required. An Environmental Impact Report may require up to one year before a decision is rendered, which is within the time frame established by state law. The City's policy is that building permit plan checks take a maximum of 4 weeks for fast review. Use Permits and subdivision maps typically can be approved in six to eight weeks, provided an environmental impact report is not required. Planning Commission decisions on maps, and use permits are final unless appealed within 14 days of the date of decision to the City Council, or unless a member of the City Council within 14 days of the date of decision requests to review the Planning Commission decision. Zone Changes require City Council action. It should be noted that the City does not impose a design review. The lack of this procedure further lends to an expeditious approval process. Reasonable Accommodation procedures specifically for persons with a disability seeking equal access to housing are outlined in Chapter 20.98 of the City's Zoning Code. Applications for a reasonable accommodation are made available at the pubic counter and no fees are required for a reasonable accommodation request. A request for a reasonable accommodation may be made by any person with a disability, their representative or a developer or provider of housing for individuals with a disability. A Hearing Officer is designated to approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for a reasonable accommodation. Modification Permits The City has a process to obtain a "Modification Permit" Whenever strict interpretation of the Zoning Code precludes reasonable use of a property, a modification permit may be issued to deviate from the standards of the Code relating to building setbacks, size, and location of parking spaces, structural appurtenances or projections that encroach into setbacks, and related matters. A public Newport Beach General Plan Housincl Element hearing will be set not less than 10 days or more than 30 days after a completed application is submitted to the Planning Department. Use Permit Use permits are required for certain use classifications typically having unusual site development features or operating characteristics requiring special consideration to ensure compatibility with adjacent properties. A noticed public hearing is held by the Planning Commission within 60 days after accepting a complete application. The Planning Commission has the authority to approve, conditionally approve, or deny applications for use permits. Request for Hardship or Request for Alternative Materials, Design, and Methods of Construction The Building Department has a process to approve hardship requests, as well as requests for alternative materials, design, and methods of construction when strict compliance with the building codes is impractical. These requests may be approved by the Building Official and Fire Marshall, or their designated agent, if he /she determines that unique characteristics or conditions exist that make compliance with the strict letter of the Code impractical and equivalency is provided. The resulting condition must be in conformance with the spirit and purpose of the Code provisions involved and such modification may not compromise fire protection, structural integrity, or occupant safety. The review of the request is based upon a written report that must be submitted describing the alternate proposal along with applicable data. CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT The California Environmental ,Quality Act (CEQA) was enacted in 1970, and requires governmental agencies that propose to approve projects to undertake analysis of environmental impacts resulting from that project. The CEQA process can be lengthy, and project delays can increase costs to developers. Likewise, costs to prepare environmental documentation necessary to satisfy CEQA can be quite high, and traditionally is borne by the project applicant. The CEQA process particularly affects Newport Beach due to rich natural resources in the area. Concern for protection of natural resources within Newport Beach has in the past required, and will continue to require, modifications to intensity of residential development and design of projects. The City environmental review process is responsive, well coordinated, and meets CEQA requirements. Review of this environmental reporting process for purposes of preparation of this Element illustrates it is not excessive or overly restrictive according to state law. Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element Housing Plan: Goals, Policies, Quantified Objectives, and Programs Analyses contained in previous sections of this Housing Element provide the basis for the Newport Beach Housing Plan, which is comprised of housing goals, policies, and programs. The plan places emphasis on providing adequate opportunity for satisfaction of the City's remaining Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirement. The special needs populations most evident within Newport Beach and most easily quantifiable by United States Census of Population and Housing are the elderly, the challenged (handicapped), and female- headed households. Many of those Policies and Programs in this Housing Plan focus on providing housing opportunities for the dominant Special Needs population— senior citizens (those 65 years of age and older). Senior citizens comprise a large component of the total special needs population and have, as a group, many who are disabled, as well as live at or below the poverty level. Goals and policies contained in this Housing Plan address the City of Newport Beach's anticipated housing needs during the tenure of this Housing Element (2006 -2014) and are implemented by a series of Housing Policies and Programs. These Policies and Programs prescribe specific actions the City of Newport Beach will take during the tenure of this Housing Element. The Housing Plan set forth in this Housing Element contains an annotated description of future actions for each Housing Program policy, the Program funding source, responsible agency, and time frame for implementation. GENERAL REVIEW OF 2000 -2005 HOUSING ELEMENT AND HOUSING ACTIVITIES California state law requires the City Housing Element be reviewed as frequently as appropriate and that it be revised appropriately, but not less than every five years, to reflect results of the review. The last comprehensive revisions of the Newport Beach Housing Element in 2000 with a subsequent a more minor update in 2006 that reflected changes in the City's Land use Plan. All the following must be evaluated during a review of the Housing Element: • Appropriateness of housing goals, policies, and programs in contributing to attainment of the state housing goal • Effectiveness of the Housing Element in attainment of the community housing goals • Progress of the City in implementation of the Housing Element • When a City has land within the California Coastal Zone, review of its Housing Element must consider housing pursuant to coastal requirements. This evah ation must include the following. ► Number of new housing units approved for construction within the Coastal Zone after January 1, 2000 P Number of housing units required to be provided in new housing developments within the Coastal Zone or within 3 miles of the Coastal Zone for persons and families of low- or moderate- income, as they are defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code ® Number of existing residential dwelling units in the Coastal Zone that have been authorized to be demolished or converted since January 1, 1992, that were occupied by persons or MNewport Beach General Plan Housing Element families of low or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code a Number of residential dwelling units required for replacement of units authorized to be demolished or converted that were occupied by persons or families of low or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code; location of replacement units on site, elsewhere within the locality's jurisdiction within the Coastal Zone, or within 3 miles of the Coastal Zone within the locality's jurisdiction, must also be designated in the review In the course of administering the Housing Element and preparing the updated 2000 -2008 Housing Element, the City determined that the previously adopted goals and policies continue to contribute to the attainment of California state housing goals as well as the housing goals of Newport Beach. As a result, most of those goals and policies have been retained to facilitate attainment of the 2006 -2014 City housing goals. Specific Housing Programs that have not been effective have been revised or deleted. New Housing Programs have been added, and new housing sites, consistent with the updated Land Use Element, have been identified. According to the Regional Housing Needs Assessment for the Housing Element cycle of 1998 -2005, SCAG estimated that the City needed to target its housing unit production to accommodate 476 new housing units. With the annexation of Newport Coast in 2001, the City agreed to transfer 945 units from the Orange County Regional Housing Needs Allocation to the Newport Coast area. This agreement was made since the Irvine Company committed to the County to fulfill its allocation. However, since the County is still responsible for issuing budding permits for the area, the analysis on meeting the RHNA allocation does not include the 945 Newport Coast units, The distribution of these new units according to income was as follows: Very Low Income (86 units), Lower Income (53 units), Moderate Income (254 units), and Above - Moderate Income (476 units). Table H39 summarizes the total RHNA construction need by income, calculated through the RHNA process for the 1998 -2005 Planning Period. Very tow J Low I Moderate I Above Moderate 86 53 83 254 476 18% 11% 17% 53% 100% The Building Department maintains a detailed Building Activity Report for each fiscal year. The report lists the total number of different types of construction permits issued, as well as the number of demolition permits issued. Using this data, staff has created Table H40 illustrating the total number of new additional units that were permitted during the RHNA period of 1998 to 2005.

This number well exceeds the total 476 units projected by SLAG. However, given the existing home and rental prices within the community for market -rate units, the majority of these new housing units were only affordable to upper income households. However, of the 159 building permits issued by the City in 2004 -2005, 120 of the new units are in the Bayview Landing senior affordable housing project. With the exception of one "manager's unit," all of the 120 units are designated for very low- and low - income seniors. This project received $1 million in funds from the City's "in- lieu" housing fund reserves. In addition, the City provided expedited permit processing, partial fee waivers of entitlement fees and substantial entitlement assistance. Approximately $4.5 million in tax credits were also awarded to the project. As displayed in Table H40 and Table H41, Newport Beach had fulfilled its requirement for low - income housing and above - moderate /upper - income housing for the 1998 -2005 RHNA period.

Funds were used to support a variety of housing services including fair housing, homeless housing, supportive services, and services for single women and children. ■ The City continued to participate in County of Orange programs that provided housing and social services for special needs populations. ■ A comprehensive General Plan update was completed in 2006 which included substantial community outreach. Since the City is largely built out, most of the options being considered involve redesignating some commercial/office /industrial areas for residential or mixed residential /commercial uses. Of these, properties in the Airport Area and Newport Center have been identified as having the potential to yield new dwelling units. ■ The Bayview Landing senior affordable housing project was constructed in 2004. With the exception of one "managers unit," all of the 120 units are designated for very low— and low - income seniors. This project received $1 million in funds from the City's "in -lieu" housing fund reserves. In addition, the City provided expedited permit processing, partial fee waivers of entitlement fees and substantial entitlement assistance. Approximately $4.5 million in tax credits were also awarded to the project. ■ The City collected $1,063,539 in -lieu fees for affordable housing from developers of market - rate residential projects. ■ The City established an Affordable Housing Task Force to work with other public agencies and private parties to develop affordable housing projects. ■ The City continued to enforce requirements of its inclusionary housing program that requires a proportion of affordable housing in new residential developments or payment of an in -lieu fee. The City has retained a consultant to conduct an analysis of the City's indusionary housing program, with a specific focus of an appropriate fee that housing developers may pay in lieu of providing affordable units within their development projects. Constructed in 2004, the Bayvtew Landing Senior affordable housing project provides 719 units for very low- and low-income seniors. The project received funds from the City's 'fn4eu "housing fund reserves and tax credit financing. In addition, the City provided expedited permit processing and partial fee waivers of entitlement fees. ■ Approval of AHIPs for Lennar and North Newport Center In 2006, the City conducted a minor update of the 2000 -2005 Housing Element to reflect land use changes that occurred as part of the comprehensive General Plan update. The City also consolidated some overlapping housing programs, created new programs, and revised some programs to reflect changes to the General Plan.

Housing Element Coastal Zone Review The City of Newport Beach uses Section 20.86 of the Municipal Code to implement Government Code Section 65590 et seq. Between January 1, 2000, and January 1, 2007, 924 new residential units were approved for construction within the California Coastal Zone. Of these new units, 160 developed as housing affordable to low- income and moderate - income individuals and /or families (Bayview Landing project). During the same time period, the City permitted landowners to demolish 768 residential units within the Coastal Zone for a net increase of 156 units. Of the units demolished, none were occupied by low- income and /or moderate - income persons and /or families. YEAR 2008 -2014 HOUSING PLAN Quantified Objectives The 2008 -2014 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) determined the City of Newport Beach had a construction need for 1,784 residential units between January 2006 and January 2014. Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element The total need for each target income group is as follows: Very Low Income (392 units); Low Income (322 units); Moderate Income (362 units); and, Above Moderate Income (708 units). As summarized in Table H43, since January 1, 2006, a total of 461 housing units have been constructed in the community and may be credited toward meeting the adequate sites requirement of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment. Given the home prices within the community all of the 461 single - family and multi-family are assumed to be above - moderate - income units.

All of the affordable units will be required to be affordable for a period of 30 years. This project was approved by the Newport Beach City Council in 2006 by the Local Coastal Commission in 2007. This approval involved the approval of an amendment to the prior General Plan Land Use Plan from Administrative, Professional, Commercial Visitor, and Financial Commercial to Multi- Family Residential. The Year 2008 -2014 Housing Plan for Newport Beach has identified Goals, Policies, and Programs that fulfill the remaining RHNA construction need. Achieving the remaining RHNA allocation is expected to be achieved through the future redevelopment of several key housing opportunity areas such as Airport Area, Newport Center, Newport Mesa, Banning Ranch, the Balboa Peninsula area, and Mariners' Mile. These areas could potentially accommodate up to 4,825 to 5,025 new residential units. The Airport Area in particular is a key opportunity site within the community that can facilitate the development of housing that is affordable at a variety of income levels. General Plan policy for this area stipulates that residential units be developed at a maximum density of 50 units per acre and minimum of 30 units per acre. In addition to the future residential sites identified within the General Plan update, all future residential development citywide would be subject to the City's Inclusionary Housing Program, which establishes a goal that 15 percent of all new units be affordable to very low -, and low -, and moderate - income households. Projects of 50 or fewer units have the option of preparing an Affordable Housing Implementation Plan (AHIP) or paying an in -lieu fee. Projects of more than 50 units are required to prepare an AHIP that specifies how the development will meet the City's affordable housing goal. It is estimated that the total number of new units that could be developed pursuant to the Land Use Element is 6,900. It is estimated that approximately 1,030 of these would be affordable subject to the provisions of the Inclusionary Housing Program. Affordable units shall be legally restricted to occupancy by households of the income levels for which the affordable units were designated for at least 30 years. Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element Since approval of the General Plan by the voters in November 2006, there has been significant interest from developers regarding the construction for housing and mixed -use development within the key housing opportunity areas of the Airport Area and Newport Center. The new infill housing development will occur on prior non - residentially designated sites. In addition to the Santa Barbara Condominium project, which will occur within the Newport Center area, the North Newport Center Planned Community Development Plan was approved by the City in 2007. As part of the proposed 430 mixed -use units, the Planned Community Development Plan includes an Affordable Housing Plan (AHIP), a required component of the City's existing Affordable Housing Implementation Program requirements. The North Newport Center AHIP was approved in December 2007. The AHIP requirement for affordable housing is based on income categories. The Irvine Company is required to provide either very low —, low -, or moderate - income housing, or a combination of income categories, using the percentages shown below: ■ Very Low: 43 units (10 %) ■ Low: 65 units (15 %) ■ Moderate: 86 units (20 %) To meet these requirements, the North Newport Center Planned Community AHIP includes the construction of 14 affordable multi-family units on a 0.75 -acre parcel of land near the intersection of San Joaquin Hills Road and San Miguel Avenue and /or the creation of affordability covenants for 29 to 89 existing units. At this location, the units must be rented to households qualifying as very low —, low -, or moderate - income households for a period of at least 30 years. As the project moves forward, it is anticipated that these units will contribute the affordable housing supply in the community. Another private land owner in the Newport Center area is presently under discussion with the City to develop 30 -unit multi-fam ly rental and for -sale project on the site presently occupied by the Balboa Bay Club. The developer would have the choice of paying the City's in -heu fee or providing affordable units. The City has adequate capacity to fulfill its remaining RHNA requirement through future residential capacity identified in the Land Use Element and the City's Inclusionary Housing Program requirements. Newport Beach Housing Element: Goals, Policies, and Programs Goals for the City include the following: promoting quality residential development through application of sound planning principles and policies that encourage preservation, conservation, and appropriate redevelopment of housing stock; providing a balanced residential community that contains a variety of housing types, designs and opportunities for all economic segments of the community; extending ownership opportunities to as many households as possible, particularly those of moderate and upper incomes because these comprise the greatest demand, preserving and increasing housing affordability, through rental housing, for very low- and low - income households; and, providing housing for special needs groups. The policies and programs described below focus on providing appropriate and affordable housing opportunities and related services to the special needs populations most in need of such in Newport Beach, that is, in particular to senior citizens. Additionally, the policies and programs (particularly under Goals 3, 4, and 5) will ensure that the City Newport Beach General Plan Housina Element will meet its remaining RHNA for very low —, low -, and moderate - income of 145 total new units for Newport Beach and 95 total new units in Newport Coast. For purposes of defining income groups, the Housing Element follows the regulations of Title 25 (Housing and Community Development) of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Sections 6910 through 6932. The income groups are defined as follows: Very Low — Income: 50 percent or less of the area median income, as adjusted for family size by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Low- Income: 50-80 percent of the area median income, as adjusted for family size by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Moderate- Income: 80 -120 percent of the area median income, as adjusted for family size by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Above Moderate— Income: 120+ percent of the area median income, as adjusted for family size by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The following affordability standards shall apply to rental and ownership housing. • Maximum household income shall be determined by number of persons in a family or household. • Income shall be in conformance with the limits set forth in 25 CCR 56932. An ecieng unit shall be occupied by one person; a one bedroom as if occupied by two persons; a two bedroom considered to be occupied by four persons; a three bedroom considered to be occupied by six persons; and a four bedroom considered to be occupied by eight. Rents for very low —, low -, and moderate - income households shall be no more than 30 percent of the income limits set forth in Section 6932. The selling price of an ownership unit shall be no more than three times the buyer's income. Units may be sold to buyers with qualifying incomes for the limited sales price without regard to the number of persons in the family.

The Section 8 "Certificate" and "Housing Voucher" programs were established by federal law. Both provide rental assistance for low- income persons (those having incomes 80 percent or less of the County median income) in need of decent, safe, and sanitary housing. The "Certificate" program requires families pay a portion of their rent, but an amount not to exceed 30 percent of their adjusted income. Total amount of the rental unit must be approved by the Housing Authority based on utilities, location, and the condition of each rental dwelling. Additionally, total rent must fall within Housing Authority Fair Market Rent limits. It should be noted that United States Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations were modified in October, 2000 to allow Section 8 monies to be used for home purchases in addition to rental assistance. The "Housing Voucher" program allows families to pay more than 30 percent of their adjusted income toward rent should they wish to rent a housing unit that has a rent greater than Fair Market Rent. Families pay the difference between the rental price of the dwelling and the Housing Authority portion of the rent. The Housing "Certificate" Program (which will be combined under a "New Voucher" Program by October 1, 2001) provides rental assistance for families renting housing units that charge Fair Market Rent. No assistance is provided to the renter should the renter choose a unit more expensive than Fair Market Rent. According to the Orange County Housing Authority, there are more than 2,000 Certificates in existence in Orange County.
