The 199972004 Housing Element must be completed and adopted by December 31, 1999. Staff is in the process of- preparing r thisdocument and expects adoption of the .Housing Element by City Council by December. Ms. Hines indicated that the new Housing Element would cover the period of July ,1, 1999 through June 30, 2004. She indicated that the Housing Element is the comprehensive Housing Plan with goals, policies, and implementing programs to .address the identified needs.- Staff will be recommending that many of the goals, policies and programs remain the same as the previous Housing Element. Ms. Hines stated that through the citizen participation process, staff will be soliciting input from the general public, the development community, and social service providers. The City will make the Draft 1999-2004 Housing. Element available to the public for review and comment from July 24 to August 25, 1999. The City will hold three community forums, in both the eastern and western territories of the City. Additionally, the Planning Commission will hold a workshop regarding the Housing Element and` the City's affordable housing needs. Ms. Hines indicated that staff is recommending that the Housing Advisory Commission review and recommend approval of the proposed preliminary goals and policy revisions.of the City's Housing Element, the citizen participation process, and the self certification of the City's Housing Element. Chairman Madrid indicated that approximately 50% of the west side of Chula Vista is already considered affordable as far as being low-income households. The City is building more new low- - income housing in the east side of the City, and wonders if in fact the City is working against- themselves. Chairman Madrid suggested to staff to make a revision to the Housing Element to include something along the line where the City sets a price for developers, e.g. a new unit costs so much per unit. Staff can develop some kind.of calculation in the Housing Element that states as an option, developers can contribute the cost of developing a new unit to the City, which in turn the City would use the monies to rehabilitate-the west side of the City. Community Development can work with the other City departments to determine targeted areas and turn the quality of life around on the west,side of'-the City with that money. That way the City is not only producing additional low-income units, but also upgrading the west side of the City. Ms. Hines- stated that in. other words, looking at a contribution as an alternative .to -actually producing low-income units. Mr. Arroyo stated. that it is important to keep. a balance throughout the City_ in terms of the production of new units and the improvement of the existing stock. MSC (Madrid/Mecca) Recommend the adoption of the Regional Housing Needs Statement as well as the Regional Share Allocation in the Affordable Housing Goals that are outlined within that Statement (6-0-1 Ahamed absent).
