Since the property was acquired by the Planning Commission General Plan Conformity Determination December 9, 2014 Page 2 City to retain right-of-way needs associated with the Newport Avenue Extension Project Phase II, the conveyance will be conditioned on the property reverting back to the City if and when Newport Avenue Extension Project Phase II is required. Pursuant to Section 65402 (c) of the Government Code, prior to acquisition or disposition of real property by a local agency such as the City, a general plan conformity determination is required. The Planning Commission is authorized to determine whether the location, purpose, and extent of the proposed conveyance are consistent with the General Plan. The property to be acquired will be used by the OCRM to provide transitional housing to homeless Veterans. While the properties will be used to provide housing for homeless Veterans in the same manner as they currently function in providing housing to the eight households occupying the units; subsequent entitlement application would be required in compliance with the zoning requirements. OCRM will provide all services necessary to transition Veterans from homelessness to permanent housing at their Village of Hope location. Housing for homeless Veterans meets the General Plan's Housing Element Goal 1, to provide an adequate supply of housing to meet the need for a variety of housing types and the diverse socio-economic needs of all community residents. Specifically, it complies with Housing Element Policy 1.11, encouraging the availability of affordable housing for special needs households, including large, low-income families. Special needs households include the elderly, large families, female -headed households with children, households with a disabled person, and the homeless. In addition, the City has taken the initiative to create transitional housing for veterans in lieu of the grants listed under Federal Resources in Housing Element Table H-19, which are used to develop programs that help veterans recover from homelessness, including establishing transitional housing and supportive services for homeless veterans. Finally, housing for homeless Veterans will assist the City in meeting the Housing Element's Regional Housing Needs Assessment goal of providing housing for extremely low- income individuals. Residential housing for homeless Veterans is consistent with the General Plan and zoning Ordinance. Therefore, the location, purpose, and extent of the proposed conveyance are in conformance with the General Plan. Jerry Craig Economic D . & o sing anager Attach, n Location Map 2.
