HOUSING ELEMENT REZONE PROJECT IMPLEMENTING PROGRAMS 1.1A, 1.113, 1.1F AND 1AG OF THE 6TH CYCLE 2021-2029 HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE GENERAL PLAN Under State law, the Housing Element must show that the City can provide its fair share of regional housing over an eight-year period (2021 to 2029). The City's share of housing is established by a process called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The current RHNA mandates the City to accommodate the construction of at least 6,782 dwelling units on vacant or underutilized residentially zoned properties. The City's current zoning can only accommodate 4,614 new dwellings; which results in a shortfall of 2,168 units. Pursuant to State law, the City must establish a "rezone program" in the Housing Element that specifies properties that will be rezoned to residential to resolve the shortfall. RECOMMENDATION: That the Planning Commission adopt the following resolutions, all of which recommend that the City Council approve the applications necessary to implement Housing Element Program 1.1 and meetthe City's RHNA obligation: Agenda— Planning Commission Meeting—October 8, 2024— Page 3 • Tustin Legacy—Sites 1A, 1B and 2 1.
