ITEM TITLE: Resolution //27 Adopting the Regional Housing Needs
Statement for 1984-1990
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development Director 1 hs Vote: Yes No x )
REVIEWED BY: City Manager
The San Diego Association of Governments has compiled the Regional Housing
Needs Statement for the period 1984-1990 and has submitted it to all affected
jurisdictions for adoption. The statement replaces the statement for the
period 1979-1984 and is based on a revised formula and data from the 1980
Census and Series 6 Regional Growth Forecast. The statement and its Fair
Share commitment will become a component of the City's Housing Element of the
General Plan, which is in the process of being revised for submission to the
California Department of Housing and Community Development.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Council approve the resolution adopting the
Regional Housing Needs Statement and the Fair Share allocation for the City
included in that statement.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
On August 30, the Council received the SANDAG Housing Study, which assessed
the supply and demand characteristics of the City's housing stock and which
evaluated the City's Fair Share progress in response to the Regional Housing
Needs Statement for 1979-1984. As the study points out, Chula Vista's Fair
Share allocation was based on 1970 Census and 1975 Special Census data
regarding low income households, occupied housing units, employment,
population, and the balance of low income households among the region's
jurisdictions. In approving the Regional Housing Needs Statement for
1979-1984, the City set Fair Share goals of 4.8% of the regional goal, or 803
additional low income housing units.
The SANDAG Housing Study further points out that the Regional Housing Needs
Statement has been revised for the period 1984-1990. The attached document is
that new statement, presented to the Council for adoption. It has been
revised for the period 1984-1990 in order to respond to the requirement by the
State Department of Housing and Community Development that all City housing
elements be revised for roughly that period and to take advantage of the
existence of new sources of data in the form of the 1980 Census and the SANDAG
Series 6 Regional Growth Forecast. Intended to be incorporated into the

Meeting Date 9/18/84
revised Housing Element, the revised Regional Housing Needs Statement calls
for both a reduced Fair Share percentage for Chula Vista and a reduced Fair
Share household amount:
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS STATEMENT FAIR SHARE ALLOCATION
PERIOD PERCENTAGE UNIT COUNT
1979-1984 4.8% 803
1984-1990 4.5% 740
The statistical evaluation of the new data has resulted in a slight reduction
in Chula Vista's commitment to the region's low income housing needs. The
reduction is not significant enough to recommend reductions in Chula Vista's
efforts at accomplishing the provision of low income housing units.
The City has a number of tools which can be used to accomplish these goals.
They include participation in Public Housing efforts with the San Diego County
Housing Authority, the Section 8 Existing Rental Subsidy Program, density
bonuses, and cash assistance from the Agency's Housing Fund.
Adoption of the Regional Housing Needs Statement and the Fair Share Allocation
will satisfy State Government Code requirements for inclusion of regional
housing efforts in local Housing elements. The revised City Housing Element
itself will be brought to the Council for approval in May 1985.
FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended action involves no expenditure of City
funds. Pursuit of the adopted goals may entail the expenditure of future
Block Grant or Housing Fund revenues.
