<ns0:Title>An act to amend Sections 65584.04 and 65584.06 of the Government Code, relating to housing.</ns0:Title>

</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>The Planning and Zoning Law, for the 4th and subsequent revisions of the housing element, requires the Department of Housing and Community Development to determine the existing and projected need for housing for each region, as provided, and requires the appropriate council of governments or for cities and counties without a council of governments, the department, to adopt a final regional housing need plan allocating a share of the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county. Existing law requires the department to meet and consult with the council of governments regarding the assumptions and methodology to be used by the department to determine the region’s housing needs and requires the council of governments to provide data assumptions, including specified information regarding housing availability within the region. Existing law requires the council of
governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, to develop a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected regional housing need to cities, counties, and cities and counties within the region or subregion, as applicable, that furthers specified objectives. Existing law, to the extent that sufficient data is available as provided, requires each council of governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, to consider including specified factors to develop the methodology that allocates regional housing needs, including the loss of units during a state of emergency that was declared by the Governor that have yet to be rebuilt or replaced at the time of the analysis.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would remove the requirement that the loss of units factor be considered and instead require those lost units to be distributed proportionally according to the region’s proposed methodology, as provided, and would prohibit the lost units from solely being distributed to the jurisdictions in which they were lost. By imposing additional duties on councils of governments, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law, for cities and counties without a council of governments, requires the department to determine and distribute the existing and projected housing need. If the department determines that a county or counties and a majority of cities within the county or counties representing a majority of the population of the county or counties possess the capability and resources and has agreed to accept the responsibility for the distribution of the regional housing need, as specified, existing law requires the department to delegate this responsibility to the cities and county or counties. Existing law requires the distribution of regional housing need to take into consideration certain factors. Existing law also requires, as part of
the allocation of the regional housing need, the department to provide each city and county with data describing the assumptions and methodology used in calculating its share of the regional housing need.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would require the department
or the entities delegated, as described above, to allocate the units lost in a state of emergency based on the allocation methodology.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.</html:p>

<html:p>
(a)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
At least two years before a scheduled revision required by Section 65588, each council of governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, shall develop, in consultation with the department, a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected regional housing need to cities, counties, and cities and counties within the region or within the subregion, where applicable pursuant to this section. The methodology shall further the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
No more than six months before the development of a proposed methodology for distributing the existing and projected housing need, each council of governments shall survey each of its member jurisdictions to request, at a minimum, information regarding the factors listed in subdivision (e) that will allow the development of a methodology based upon the factors established in subdivision (e).
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
With respect to the objective in paragraph (5) of subdivision (d) of Section 65584, the survey shall review and compile information that will allow the development of a methodology based upon the issues, strategies, and actions that are included, as available, in an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice or an Assessment of Fair Housing completed by any
city or county or the department that covers communities within the area served by the council of governments, and in housing elements adopted pursuant to this article by cities and counties within the area served by the council of governments.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(3)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The council of governments shall seek to obtain the information in a manner and format that is comparable throughout the region and utilize readily available data to the extent possible.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(4)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The information provided by a local government pursuant to this section shall be used, to the extent possible, by the council of governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, as source information for the methodology developed pursuant to this section. The survey shall state that none of the information received may be used as a basis for
reducing the total housing need established for the region pursuant to Section 65584.01.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(5)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
If the council of governments fails to conduct a survey pursuant to this subdivision, a city, county, or city and county may submit information related to the items listed in subdivision (e) before the public comment period provided for in subdivision (d).
</html:p>
<html:p>
(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The council of governments shall electronically report the results of the survey of fair housing issues, strategies, and actions compiled pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b). The report shall describe common themes and effective strategies employed by cities and counties within the area served by the council of governments, including common themes and effective strategies around avoiding the displacement of lower income
households. The council of governments shall also identify significant barriers to affirmatively furthering fair housing at the regional level and may recommend strategies or actions to overcome those barriers. A council of governments or metropolitan planning organization, as appropriate, may use this information for any other purpose, including publication within a regional transportation plan adopted pursuant to Section 65080 or to inform the land use assumptions that are applied in the development of a regional transportation plan.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(d)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Public participation and access shall be required in the development of the methodology and in the process of drafting and adoption of the allocation of the regional housing needs. Participation by organizations other than local jurisdictions and councils of governments shall be solicited in a
diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community as well as members of protected classes under Section 12955 and households with special housing needs under paragraph (7) of subdivision (a) of Section 65583. The proposed methodology, along with any relevant underlying data and assumptions, an explanation of how information about local government conditions gathered pursuant to subdivision (b) has been used to develop the proposed methodology, how each of the factors listed in subdivision (e) is incorporated into the methodology, and how the proposed methodology furthers the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584, shall be distributed to all cities, counties, any subregions, and members of the public who have made a written or electronic request for the proposed methodology and published on the council of governments’, or delegate
subregion’s, internet website. The council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, shall conduct at least one public hearing to receive oral and written comments on the proposed methodology.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(e)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
To the extent that sufficient data is available from local governments pursuant to subdivision (b) or other sources, each council of governments, or delegate subregion as applicable, shall consider including the following factors in developing the methodology that allocates regional housing needs:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Each member jurisdiction’s existing and projected jobs and housing relationship. This shall include an estimate based on readily available data on the number of low-wage jobs within the jurisdiction and how many housing units within the jurisdiction are affordable to low-wage
workers as well as an estimate based on readily available data, of projected job growth and projected household growth by income level within each member jurisdiction during the planning period.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The opportunities and constraints to development of additional housing in each member jurisdiction, including all of the following:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(A)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>

<html:p>
(B)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The availability of land
suitable for urban development or for conversion to residential use, the availability of underutilized land, and opportunities for infill development and increased residential densities. The council of governments may not limit its consideration of suitable housing sites or land suitable for urban development to existing zoning ordinances and land use restrictions of a locality, but shall consider the potential for increased residential development under alternative zoning ordinances and land use restrictions. The determination of available land suitable for urban development may exclude lands where the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Department of Water Resources has determined that the flood management infrastructure designed to protect that land is not adequate to avoid the risk of flooding.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(C)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Lands preserved or
protected from urban development under existing federal or state programs, or both, designed to protect open space, farmland, environmental habitats, and natural resources on a long-term basis, including land zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of that jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts conversion to nonagricultural uses.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(D)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
County policies to preserve prime agricultural land, as defined pursuant to Section 56064, within an unincorporated area and land within an unincorporated area zoned or designated for agricultural protection or preservation that is subject to a local ballot measure that was approved by the voters of that jurisdiction that prohibits or restricts its conversion to nonagricultural uses.

</html:p>
<html:p>
(5)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The loss of units contained in assisted housing developments, as defined in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 65583, that changed to non-low-income use through mortgage prepayment, subsidy contract expirations, or termination of use restrictions.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(6)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The percentage of existing households at each of the income levels listed in subdivision (f) of Section 65584 that are paying more than 30 percent and more than 50 percent of their income in rent.

</html:p>
<html:p>
(12)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Any other factors adopted by the council of governments, that further the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584, provided that the council of
governments specifies which of the objectives each additional factor is necessary to further. The council of governments may include additional factors unrelated to furthering the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584 so long as the additional factors do not undermine the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584 and are applied equally across all household income levels as described in subdivision (f) of Section 65584 and the council of governments makes a finding that the factor is necessary to address significant health and safety conditions.
</html:p>
<html:p>

<html:p>
(h)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Units lost in a state of emergency pursuant to subparagraph (I) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 65584.01 shall not solely be distributed to the jurisdictions in which they were lost. These units shall be distributed proportionally according to the region’s proposed methodology required by subdivision (a) so as to further the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(i)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Following the conclusion of the public comment period described in subdivision (d) on the proposed allocation methodology, and after making any revisions deemed appropriate by the council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, as a result of comments received during the public comment period, and as a result of consultation with the department, each council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, shall publish a draft allocation methodology on its internet website and submit the draft allocation methodology, along with the information required pursuant to subdivision (e), to the department.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(j)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Within 60 days, the department shall review the draft allocation methodology and report its written findings to the council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable. In its written findings the department shall determine whether the methodology furthers the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584. If the department determines that the methodology is not consistent with subdivision (d) of Section 65584, the council of governments, or delegate subregion, as applicable, shall take one of the following actions:
</html:p>
<html:p>
(1)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Revise the methodology to further the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584 and adopt a final regional, or subregional, housing need
allocation methodology.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Adopt the regional, or subregional, housing need allocation methodology without revisions and include within its resolution of adoption findings, supported by substantial evidence, as to why the council of governments, or delegate subregion, believes that the methodology furthers the objectives listed in subdivision (d) of Section 65584 despite the findings of the department.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(k)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
If the department’s findings are not available within the time limits set by subdivision (i), the council of governments, or delegate subregion,
may act without them.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(
<html:i>l</html:i>
)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Upon either action pursuant to subdivision (i), the council of governments, or delegate subregion, shall provide notice of the adoption of the methodology to the jurisdictions within the region, or delegate subregion, as applicable, and to the department, and shall publish the adopted allocation methodology, along with its resolution and any adopted written findings, on its internet website.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(m)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>

<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
It is the intent of the Legislature that housing planning be coordinated and integrated with the regional transportation plan. To achieve this goal, the allocation plan shall allocate housing units within the region consistent with the development pattern included in
the sustainable communities strategy.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(2)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
(A)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The final allocation plan shall ensure that the total regional housing need, by income category, as determined under Section 65584, is maintained, and that each jurisdiction in the region receive an allocation of units for low- and very low income households.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(B)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
For the seventh and subsequent revisions of the housing element, the allocation to each region required under subparagraph (A) shall also include an allocation of units for acutely low and extremely low income households.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(3)

For cities and counties without a council of governments, the department shall determine and distribute the existing and projected housing need, in accordance with Section 65584, Section 65584.01, as applicable, and this section. If the department determines that a county or counties, supported by a resolution adopted by the board or boards of supervisors, and a majority of cities within the county or counties representing a majority of the population of the county or counties, possess the capability and resources and has agreed to accept the responsibility, with respect to its jurisdiction, for the distribution of the regional housing need, the department shall delegate this responsibility to the cities and county or counties.
</html:p>
<html:p>
(b)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
The distribution of regional housing need shall, based upon available data and in consultation with the cities and counties, take into consideration market demand for housing, the distribution of household growth within the county assumed in the regional transportation plan where applicable, employment opportunities and commuting patterns, the availability of suitable sites and public facilities, the needs of individuals and families experiencing homelessness, agreements between a county and cities in a county to direct growth toward incorporated areas of the county, or other considerations as may be requested by the affected cities or counties and agreed to by the department,
including, but not limited to, emergency evacuation route capacity, wildfire risk, sea level rise, and other impacts caused by climate change. As part of the allocation of the regional housing need, the department shall provide each city and county with data describing the assumptions and methodology used in calculating its share of the regional housing need. Consideration of suitable housing sites or land suitable for urban development is not limited to existing zoning ordinances and land use restrictions of a locality, but shall include consideration of the potential for increased residential development under alternative zoning ordinances and land use restrictions. The determination of available land suitable for urban development may exclude lands where the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or the Department of Water Resources has determined that the flood management infrastructure
designed to protect that land is not adequate to avoid the risk of flooding. The department or the entities delegated shall allocate the units lost in a state of emergency pursuant to subparagraph (I) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 65584.01 based on the allocation methodology developed pursuant to this section.

(c)
<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
Within 90 days following the department’s determination of a draft distribution of the regional housing need to the cities and the county, a city or county may propose to revise the determination of its share of the regional housing need in accordance with criteria set forth in the draft distribution. The proposed revised share shall be based upon
comparable data available for all affected jurisdictions, and accepted planning methodology, and shall be supported by adequate documentation.

<html:span class="EnSpace"/>
If the department does not accept the proposed revision, then, within 30 days, the city or county may request a public hearing to review the determination.
