HomeMy WebLinkAbout05 ATTACHMENT AATTACHMENT A 2018 Annual Report on the Status of the City of Tustin General Plan January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 California State Law requires each City to adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for its physical development and any land outside its boundaries which bears a relationship to its planning activities. In essence, the City's general plan serves as the blueprint for future growth and development. As a blueprint for the future, the plan contains policies and programs designed to provide decision makers with a basis for all land use related decisions. Tustin adopted its first General Plan in 1966. The Plan was prepared as a joint effort between the City of Tustin Planning Department and the County of Orange Advance Planning Division. Major changes to State law led to the preparation of, and revisions to, Tustin's General Plan during the 1970s and 1980s. During this period of time, General Plan elements were developed and/or amended incrementally. Tustin's current General Plan was comprehensively amended and adopted in January 2001 and subsequently amended in 2005 (EI Camino Real reclassification) and 2007 (Pacific Center East Specific Plan boundary adjustment). In 2008, the General Plan was updated with minor text amendments (clean up items reflecting current status) and in 2009 and 2013 the City updated its Housing Element in compliance with State's law. In 2012, the Conservation/Open Space/Recreation Element was updated regarding existing and proposed parks and facilities inventory and other minor text amendments. The General Plan incorporates all required elements as follows: Land Use, Housing, Conservation/Open Space/Recreation, Noise, Circulation, Public Safety and a locally mandated element, Growth Management. The City's current Housing Element was adopted by the City Council in October 2013 in compliance with the State Law. Following the adoption of the Housing Element, HCD provided the City with certification on November 6, 2013. Section 65400 (b) of the Government Code requires that the City's planning agency provide: 1) An annual report to the City Council on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation; 2) Its progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs; local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing; and 3) The degree to which the approved general plan complies with the guidelines developed and adopted pursuant to Section 65040.2 and the date of the last revision to the general plan. This annual report covers activities between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, and is required to be provided to the City Council. Following the City Council's action, the annual report will be forwarded to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the State Office of Planning and Research. 2018 General Plan Annual Report Page 1 HOUSING ELEMENT PROGRESS Part of the current Housing Element is the City's share of housing needs for the planning period of January 1, 2014 to October 1, 2021 as determined by HCD. This is the fifth report for the fifth cycle Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). Table 1 identifies the City of Tustin's assigned share of regional housing needs. Table 1 City of Tustin Regional Housing Need 2014-2021 City of Tustin Income Level Number of Units Percentage Very Low (<50%of MFI) 283 23% Low Income (50-80% of MFI) 195 16% Moderate Income (80-120% of MFI) 224 18% Upper Income (>120% of MFI) 525 43% Total 1,227 100% MFI: Median Family Income Source: SCAG Regional Housing Need Assessment Table 2 consists of a list of new dwelling units for which permits have been issued and other income restricted units that have received entitlements and are currently either under construction or in plan check from January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2018. To determine the income level of each unit, HCD developed criteria for the City to follow. These criteria are based on occupant annual income, rent payment, or purchase price. To date, the City has satisfied nearly 40% of its assigned share of regional housing needs for Very Low, Low, and Moderate income units and has satisfied 100% of the Above Moderate income units identified for the current RHNA allocation period.
