MEMORANDUM
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER �
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION TO AUTHORIZE AN APPROPRIATION OF 515,000
FOR PAVING OF A PORTION OF NOYES ROAD
DATE: AUGUST 13, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council authorize an appropriation of $15,000 from the Construction
Tax Fund for paving of a portion of Noyes Road.
FUNDING:
Construction Tax Funds in the amount of $15,000 for paving a portion of Noyes Road will
be transferred from The Pike Rehabilitation project. State Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP) funds will replace Construction Tax funds originally allocated for The Pike
project. Therefore this has no impact on the Construction Tax Fund balance.
DISCUSSION:
The County of San Luis Obispo is in the process of paving various roads throughout the
County as part of their Annual Paving Program, including Noyes Road from Ormande
Road to the Pismo Beach City limits. A portion of this sectian of Noyes Road lies within the
City of Arroyo Grande. This section is located near the intersection of Noyes Road and
Oak Park Boulevard and is approximately 930 feet long as shown in the attached exhibit.
To provide a smooth continuous asphalt overiay, the County is requesting that the City
participate in the project by funding the portion of the work within the City limits. The
estimated cost to perform this work is $15,000. Funds are available in the Construction
Tax Fund. State Transportation Improvement Program funds have replaced the
Construction Tax Funds for The Pike Rehabilitation project making them available for other
projects. Paving is scheduled on Noyes Road during the week of August 19, 2002.
The County has proposed to charge the City only the cost of materials. Therefore, it
presents an opportunity to complete the work at a lower cost than if the City were to
contract for it ourselves.

BY: RYAN FOSTER, PLANNING INTERN�
SUBJECT: PLANNED SIGN PROGRAM 02-002; FIVE CITIES CENTER;
BUILDINGS "L" & °IVI"
DATE: AUGUST 13, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council adopt the attached
Resolution approving Planned Sign Program 02-002.
FUNDING:
No fiscal impact.
DISCUSSION:
This project consists of signage for two (2) new buildings in the Five Cities Center.
Building °L" is an office, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc; building "M° is a restaurant,
Vigneto Ristorante Bar. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the existing
Planned Sign Program (PSP) for the Five Cities Center, which was approved by City
Council Resolution No. 3337 on November 10, 1998.
Five Cities Center Planned Sian Proaram
The approved PSP allows each building one sign per frontage. "Frontage" is
defined as "building front or side, which directly abuts a public street or parking
area, or as may be specifically approved by the Planning Commission or City
Council, as applicable. Building frontage does not include the rear of buildings, wall
planes separated from parking areas by landscaped areas greater than 15 teet in
width, or areas as may be specifically excluded by the Planning Commission or City
Council, as applicable." The PSP specified approved frontages for all buildings in
the Five Cities Center (Attachment 1).
Buildina "L"
The applicant is requesting approval for two (2) signs, one to be placed on the
elevation facing the parking lot ("A" on Attachment 1) and the other to be placed
on the elevation facing the access road ("B" on Attachment 1); however, the PSP
only specifies elevation "A" as an approved frontage, necessitating an amendment
CITY COUNCIL
PSP 02-002

to the Planned Sign Program to allow the additional sign. Elevation "B" could be
interpreted as frontage according to the definition above.
The proposed signs consist of internally illuminated channel letters with white
faces, black returns and gold trim (Attachment 2►. The sizes of the proposed signs
conform to the standards set forth in the existing PSP as follows:
Max. Letter Max. sq, ft. Max. Length Max. Number Mex. Amount

The applicant is requesting approval for three (3) signs, one to be placed on the
elevation facing the parking lot ("C" on Attachment 11, one to be qlaced on the
elevation overlooking West Branch Street ("D" on Attachment 1) and the other to
be placed on the elevation facing Rancho Parkway ("E" on Attachment 11;
however, the PSP only specifies the elevation °C" as an approved frontage,
necessitating an amendment to the Planned Sign Program to allow the other two
signs.
Elevation "D" overlooks West Branch Street and is visible from Highway 101, and
could be interpreted as frontage according to the definition above. Elevation "E"
faces Rancho Parkway; however, this side is considered to be the rear of the
building, and is excluded from being considered as frontage per the definition

above. The applicant is requesting that special consideration be given to this
situation as this building is to be used as a restaurant, and the rear of the building
is to be used for outdoor seating. This elevation is also highly visible from
southbound Highway 101 and signage here would help attract passing patrons.
Two of the proposed signs consist of internally illuminated channel letters speliing
"Vigneto" and an internally illuminated logo box with the words °Ristorante" and
"Bar" ("D" &"E"). The other sign is proposed to consist of hammered copper
letters spelling "Vigneto" and the words "Ristorante" and "Bar" painted onto the
stucco surface of the building ("C"►. This sign is proposed to be illumineted by
flood lighting (Attachment 3). The sizes of the proposed signs conform to the

1, 2002. The ARC found the signs to be consistent with the existing Planned Sign
Program and that the requested placement of all signs was consistent with the PSP
definition of frontage; because it is a restaurant, building "M" is especially
dependent on the visibility of its signage, and visibility from Highway 101 is
critical.

The Planning Commission considered this item at its meeting of July t6, 2002. The
Commission adopted Resolution No. 02-1843, recommending that City Council
approve PSP 02-002.

Quality Act, and has found that the project is exempt per section 15311(a) of the

PUBLIC kiEARWG - PLANNED SIGN PROGRAM CASE NO. 02-002; AfPLICANT -
A.G. EDWARDS & SONS, INC. AND VIGNETO RESTAURANT; L!QCATfON -
RANCHO PARKWAY, FIVE CITIES CENTER, PHASE il. Staff report prepared and
presented by Ryan Foster.
Ryan Foster described the project and informed the Commission that the ARC at
the July 1, 2002 meeting, found the signs to be consistent with the existing
Planned Sign Program (PSP) and that the requested placement of all signs was
consistent with the PSP definition of frontage. A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. would
get an additional frontage sign and the Vigneto Restaurant would get two
additional frontages signs.
Ryan foster answered Commissioner Guthrie's question saying that the approved
Pianned Sign Program for the Five Cities Center differs from the DevelopmeM Code
in that it is more restrictive.
Commissionec Keen. questioned if the Planned Sign Program is amended for
buildings 'L' &'M' will these same amendments also apply to future new buildings
in the center. Mr. Foster said if any changes were requested in the future on any
new buildings an amendment to the Five Cities PSP would have to be processed.
The business owners came forward to answer questions. The Planning
Commission at that time they had no questions for either Vigneto Restaurant or
A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.
Nan Fowler commented that signs are very important to attract business, she liked
the signs and that it was reasonable to have signage on three major frontages.
Commissioner Guthrie had no concerns with the proposed signage stating that the
signs were very reasonable considering the amount of frontage available and he
could support this sign program.

Commissioner Keen agreed with Commissioner Guthrie stating that according to
the calculations for the Planned Sign Program the signs could have been much
larger. He asked if all the wires sticking out around the Edwards building were for
light fixtures; he had noticed them when he went to view the building, but had not
seen them on the drawings. Mr. Alpardo, owner, replied that these were flexes for
light fixtures that would shine up to awnings around the perimeter of the building;
there would also be recessed channels for lighting to shine down. Commissioner
Keen had a concern that other buildings in the center may want signs on the back
of their buildings facing the freeway and he would not like to see this happen.
Commissioner Guthrie made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Fowler, to
recommend that City Council approve the Planned Sign Program Case No. 02-002
and adopt resolution:

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL n�
FROM: DON SPAGNOLO, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER�
SUBJECT: ROUTE 101 OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS — PHASE 2 STUDY
DATE: AUGUST 13, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council provide direction to staff regarding any altematives
that it would like deleted from the study.
FUNDING:
There is no fiscal impact at this time.
DISCUSSION:
The Route 101 Operational Improvements project was initiated by the San Luis Obispo
Council of Govemments (SLOCOG), who commissioned a Major Investment Study
(MIS) for the Route 101 corridor to address future traffic volume growth. Three general
strategies for reducing congestion were identified in the MIS: TDM programs which
increase vehicle occupancy, Operational Improvements which maximize system
efficiency, and widening or six-laning the corridor. The recommended strategy for near
term was TDM and for long term was Operational Improvements. The improvements
developed in this Project Study Report are consistent with the MIS and were
recommended for study by Caltrans District 5 Traffic Department and SLOCOG staff.
This strategy will provide an adequate service level for the next 10 to 15 years, thus
delaying the need for the "six lane" widening.
At the August 13, 2002 City Council meeting, representatives of SLOCOG and Caltrans
will make a presentation on the Route 101 Operational Improvements — Phase 2 Study.
This project is one part of an overall strategy to improve efficiency of the Route 101
corridor, provide congestion relief, and defer the need to widen the highway to six lanes.
The project addresses the following improvements in Arroyo Grande:
Constructing a southbound climbing lane from Oak Park Boulevard to Halcyon
Road;
Improving the southbound auxiliary lane between E. Grand Avenue and Fair
Oaks Avenue; and
Constructing acceleration and deceleration lanes at EI Campo Road.

PAGE 2
Attached is a copy of the presentation materials that will be reviewed in more detail at
the. meeting. The materials outline a number of altematives. Since some provide
circulation benefits, but may be inconsistent with current land use policy, they involve
policy issues that staff felt the City Council should be involved in provicfmg input.
Nothing is being proposed at this time. Caltrans staff emphasizes that tfie go� at this
stage is simply to define the project scope. Therefore, their intent is to obtain feedback
from the City Council to determine if any altematives should be deleted prior to
beginning the study.

MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ROB STRONG, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
BY: KELLY HEFFERNON, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
SUBJECT: HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE
DATE: AUGUST 13, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommends the Council:
1. Review the work program to update the City's Housing Element (Attachment
1) and direct staff to proceed with the public workshops as out�ned; and
2. Form an ad hoc Local Housing Task Force to advise the Planning
Commission and City Council on the Housing Element Update.
DISCUSSION:
Backqround
On July 2, 2002 the Planning Commission considered the proposed worlc program for
updating the Housing Element and recommended the Council form a �ocai Housing
Task Force (LHTF), composed of between ten (10) and twenty (20) me►�bers having a
variety of expertise, which would provide technical review of the Housing ElemeM to the
Planning Commission and City Council. The Commission further recomrrrended that
the LHTF hold regular meetings, with public workshops scheduled on a quarteriy basis
over the next year (reference Attachment 2 for draft Planning Commission meeting
minutes).
The purpose of the work program is to outline the steps involved with updating the
Housing Element. A public participation process is incorporated vviNtin the wo�lc
program that allows several opportunities for staff, the Planning Comm�sion and City
Council to receive comments from the community relating to the condition of housing
development in Arroyo Grande.
Housing Element Update Process
State Law requires each community to have an adopted Housing Element. The
Housing Element consists of a series of goals, policies and programs that are oriented
to the preservation, improvement and development of housing. The Housing Element

i that are projected to meet the needs of all
The Housing Element Update must contain all
quantified objectives and the identification of
identified housing needs. It must also address
constraints that hinder meeting the housing
The public participation component of the Housing Element update proposes that the
Planning Commission would serve as the lead in the preparation and review of this
document assisted by the LHTF that would be formed by the City Council. The Housing
Element preparation process would include technical workshops or study sessions held
with the LHTF and/or Planning Commission, community newsletters distributed at
critical points in the update process, and a public forum conducted to obtain public input
from the community, developers, architects, real estate and financial professionais and
special needs groups.
After preparatian of the Draft Housing Element and environmental determination for
CEQA compliance, the Planning Commission and City Council would hold sepe�rate
hearings on the Draft Housing Element. The City Council would forward thelr approved
version to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) prior
to the deadline of December 31, 2003.
The steps outlined in the work program relating to public participation are as follows:
Conduct an introductory technical workshop with the Planning Commission
and staff to review the existing Element, Housing Element legal requirements
and the role of the Commission in the update process. Consider
recommendation to City Council for LHTF.
2. Conduct an LHTF/Commission second workshop to elicit input from non-profit
and for-profit housing developers; architects, real estate and financial
professionals and special needs groups on housing issues, constraints and
opportunities.
3. Prepare a newsletter for public distribution and publication that describes the
Housing Element process and how public input can help to shape its goals
and objectives.
4. Conduct a"public issues forum" to provide an opportunity for the public to
identify housing issues, constraints, opportunities and possible policies and
programs.

adoption.
10. City Council to conduct one or more public hearings on Planning Commission
Draft housing Element recommendations and adoption for submittal to HCD
for certification.
Public attention was recently focused on regional housing problems by a series of
artides published June 16-23, 2002 in The Tribune. Copies of this series reprint,
Attachment 4, is provided to Council members for future reference and retention. While
some refer to the local situation as "a crisis", the lack of reasonably priced and
affordable housing is more an evolution of complex market forces supply and demand.
The solutions are not simpiy planning to provide more land or produce more housing,
but changing its type, density, cost and efficiency of services, and batancing projected
growth impacts with real environmental and resource constraints.
Because the problems and solutions are so complex, staff and Planning Commission
recommend formation of an ad hoc LHTF to advise and assist the City with formulation
of Housing Element Update policies and programs. The LHTF should be composed of
10 to 20 members with diverse technical expertise to assist consideration of altematives
to be included in the Draft Housing Element Update distributed for Planning

Commission and City Council public hearings during Summer 2003. Examples of
possible participants for LHTF appointment by the Council include:
San Luis Obispo Housing Authority.
People's Self Help Housing, Inc.
om local residential builders or for profit housing
4) One or two local real estate professionals or property owners.
5) One or two local architects or engineers involved with residential project design
and development.
6) One or two local financial/banking professionals familiar with residential
development funding and/or affordable housing lending programs and
constraints.
7) Two or three special needs housing representatives for disabled, senior, low
income, or rental assistance segments of the community.
8) Two or three workforce or employee union representatives from police, hospital,
school, retail and/or other large local employer groups.
1) One representative from
2) One representative from
3) Two representatives fi
developers.
The above basic list would involve 12 to 19 citizen volunteers, selected by the Mayor or
Council Members, expected to provide technical input and review Draft Housing
Element Update policies, programs and proposals.
At minimum, the HTF would participate in three or four workshops, study sessions, or
public town hall meeting to discuss local housing problems and possible solutions
worthy of specific study, during Housing Element Update formulation. If desired the
LHTF could remain active and available as an advisory group during Planning
Commission and City Council public hearings for adoption and subsequent submittal
and certification by the State HCD. If an on going need for implementalion program
development and performance monitoring is periodically requested by the Planning
Commission, the LHTF or some of its members could also be considered for extended
service.
One of the initial concems of the Planning Commission and Housing Task Force at their
Fall workshop will be the discrepancy between SLOCOG Regional Housing Needs total
of 13,892 versus the State UCD countywide allocation of 18,892. Arroyo Grande will
need to consider a contingency program for the Housing Element in the event the
higher target is imposed. Arroyo Grande's lowest objective would require 1,247 units,
requiring an annual average of 166 new units per year, between June 2001 and
December 2008.
Another basic issue will be how to comply with the "affordable" housing for very low, low
and moderate income househoids, which compose 20%, 15% and 18% of the projected

need versus the 47% above moderate income housing that the City's market usually
provides.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council's consideration:
Discuss and adopt the proposed work program and consider composition and
appointments to a Local Housing Task Force (LHTF);
- Modify the scope or schedule as determined necessary and/or request the
Planning Commission select Local Housing Task Force (LHTF) advisors;
- Reject the ad hoc committee concept and either consider a permanent
Housing Authority/Commission or request the Planning Commission and staff
to prepare a draft Housing Element without advisory group assistance.

RE: SLOCOG Revised Draft Regional Housing Plan (RHNP), enclosed.
Dear Mr. Adams;
c.
On July 10, 2002, the San Luis Obispo Council of Govemments (SLOCOG) Board authorized distribution
of a revised RHNP to its member jurisdictions for the 90-day review and comment period provided under
state law. The RHNP distributed prior to the July 10'" meeting included the State Department of Housing
and Commurtity Development (HCD) determined regional housing need of 18,892 units, however, the
SLOCOG Board approved a RHNP identifying 13,982 units as the regional housing need. Enclosed is the
modified plan, which includes the SLOCOG approved regional housing need of 13,982 new units.
As we are continuing to discuss the ultimate HCD determination, the 13,982 should be viewed as the "best
case" scenario and the 18,892 should be seen as the "worst case" scenario should HCD fail to make a
reduction in the regional housing need assigned to our county. We believe your goveming board should
evaluate the impacts of both figures and provide comments to SLOCOG regarding the associated
implications of each of them.
Negotiations with HCD have continued to occur throughout July. Based upon information we receive from
cities and the county, SLOCOG will update HCD with more detailed information on replacement housing
need. We hope to receive a revised determination from HCD by mid-August.
The review and comment period will be over on October 9� The SLOCOG Board is scheduled to consider
your comments on October 9 a 30-day appeal period will then follow the October 9�' hearing on the
RHNP with SLOCOG scheduled to take final action on the RHNP at its December 5�' meeting. This
process is to be completed prior to December 31, 2002 by state faw and jurisdictions are required to
complete their Housing Element updates prior to December 31 �, 2003.
Piease contact Steve Devencenzi at 781-4662 if you have any questions and to schedule a presentation
on this issue to your city council.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Regional Housing Needs Pian (RHNP) prepared by San Luis Obispo Council of Govemments
(SLOCOG) establishes numerical targets for the development of housing units in the state-mandated
Housing Element update that each of the seven incorporated cities and the County of San Luis Obispo are
to accomplish du�ing 2003. SLOCOG believes a regional housing needs atlocation of 73;892 for the
SLOCOG region is reasonable and appropriate, staff from HCD, however, have indicated they beUeve an
allocation of 18,892 should be accommodated. The law requires that SLOCOG address housing needs in
the county through the RHNP which is designed to meet guidelines set.forth by the Calffomia State
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) fn compliance with State housing law
(Govemment Code Sections 65583 and 65584). A final version of this plan requtres approJal by SLOCOG
Board and must be submitted to HCD by December 31, 2002.
SLOCOG recognizes the importance of creating more housing opportunities for area residents, especially
those at the lower end of the income-eamfng spectrum. The area's housing market has wltriessed
unprecedented increases in home sale prices and rental rates. Income eamings harre not risen at near
these rates and strong job growth and immigration have provided added complexides. The County is
faced with serious concems in tertns of maintaining the vibrant economy and valued labor force, while
protecting natural resources, environmentally sensitive areas, premium agucuftural lands, open spaces
and at the same time limiting traffic congestion and protecting and improving air quality. CMies and the
County are faced with creating ways to foster housing development wfthout overloadirtg infrasUucture and
the ability to provide services. Doing so may be the greatest challenge to the region in The next decade 'rf
we are to maintain and seek to improve the quality-of-life and the area's environment.
In attempting to address the need for affordabie housing, SLOCOG has worked ciosely with a housing
advisory commitfee, local housing advocates, city and county planners, environmental groups, Local
Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), and HCD in an effort to gain needed input for the following plan.
The key component of the plan is a series of tables that enumerate housing unit allocations by income
categories to SLOCOG member agencies. These tables can be found on page 6 of the RHNP. The seven
incorporated cities and the County are required to integrate the Housing Unit Distribudon numbers
identified in the RHNP in the update the Housing Elements of their General Plan in order to accommodate
their "fair share" of the anticipated future housing demand. This effort will challenge many of these
communities as they seek to respect prior planning efforts, resource and regulatory consUaints and
potential locai opposition to increased densities, rezoning proposals, and/or expansion of existing
community boundaries.
The RHNP is intended to assure that adequate sites and zoning exist to address anticipated housing
demand during the planning period. The targets also help to ensure that the availabilily of shes exists to
accommodate the housing need of a range of socioeconomic segments of a community. The housing
allocations are the basis for assuring that adequatesites and zoning are availabie to accommodate at least
the number of units aliocated. They are not housing unit quotas that jurisdictions must achie� withln the
time frame of their next housing element update. One of the few tools available to local jurisdictions to
influence the development of affordable housing is the power to regulate land use. Breaking down
development barriers, such as exclusively low-density zoning and exclusionary growth controls is a major
goal of state housing law.
Also included in the RHNP is background information to the planning process; a schedule of
implementatiorc state law guiding the process; and, a detaiied account of the correspondences behveen
HCD and SLOCOG as SLOCOG attempted to negotiate with HCD in order to achieve a regional allocaUon
suitable to the area.
SLOCOG Princioles for Develonina Houstna Poflcv
Jobs / Housina Balance
People should have a reasonable opportunity to tive close to where they wwk and each urban area

provided to agencies for the redevelopment of underutilized areas that can provkle add�bnal housing or
employment opportunities that minimize the demands placed upon outlying agriculhirai or open space
areas.
Wildl'rfe/Environmental SensitiviN
Preserve and restore natural areas and open spaces in conjunction with efforts to provide appropriate
housing and economic development in a manner that respects sign�cant wildiife habitat, conserves
land and preserves natural resources. •
Social Eauitv: Housina for All Incomes and Aae Levels
The long-term heaith of our economy and quality of life depends on maintaining a diverse population
composed of a balance of income and age groups. A muced housing stock addressing the range of
housing options within communities provides the opportunity for diversity of age, Iffestyle �d, incomes
for residents.
Hiaher DensiN/Multi-Familv Desian
Good design is critical to community acceptance of higher density projects. Provide support for the
development of design guidelines that presents attractive higher density affordable housing, which
promotes responsible, efficient, and compact development to facilitate the preservaHon of open space.
Financina Mechanisms
Support the Affordable Housing Trust Fund as a vehicle to secure needed funds to assist in developing
housing and to qualify for state matching funds. Affordable or workforce housing receiving public
subsidies should be subject to restrictions that keep the housing affordable for an extended period of
time or retum some portion of the incremental gain in value for reinvestment in additional housing
opportunities.
Reqional C000eration
Agencies (federat, state and local) should work cooperetively to address the housing and development
needs of the community as a whole in a manner that recognizes the common needs of the populace
and the impacts to the environment.

INTRODUCTION
A Background�
The Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) is a required part of a statewide process intended to address
housing issues related to future growth. The RHNP is the document that identifies the allocation to aties
and counties of their `fair share" of the region's current unmet needs as well as future projected housing
needs by household income group. The RHNP identifles and quantifies both existing and an8cipated
housfng needs for each jurisdiction over the seve� and a half-year period between January 2001 and Juty
2008. After the San Luis Obispo Council of Govemments (SLOCOG) adopts Ure document each
jurisdiction is then required to update the Housing Element component of their General Plan to address
how and where they will attempt to meet that need by December 31, 2003. The RHNP is subJect to
approval by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and is detailed under
the Califomia Govemment Code, Section 65584 (See Appendix D).
The RHNP recognizes the need to address the impacts of job-driven population growth and demographic
change on a region's housing supply. These impacts affect home prices, choices, availabilitty, affondability,
and maintenance level of the housing stock. The needs assessment process sets numeric `targets' that
take into account housing demand and social goals, while complyi�g with state housing law. The State
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) provides a mintmum baseline need to San
Luis Obispo Councii of Govemments (SLOCOG), which in cooperation with local govemmeMs and public
input allocates the countywide housing need to local jurisdlctions. The seven incorporated ckies and the
unincorporated county are then required to plan for, through updates of general plan housing arxl land-use
elements, their SLOCOG determined share of the HCD allocation to the region. HCD methodology for
calculating regional housing needs can be found in Appendix C.
The core of the RHNP is a series of tables which indicate, for each jurisdiction, the distribution of housing
needs for each of four household income groups to be planned for by the ending date of the plan. These
units are considered the basic new construction need to be addressed by individual city and county
housing elements. Table 1 Housing Unit DisMbution — By Income Category on page 5 of this plan lists the
numbers for each jurisdiction.
B. Plan Intent
In addition to addressing local housing needs, the county and every city in the region has an obligation to
address the housing needs of the entire region. Given the expansion of jobs into suburban areas, two-
career households, changing or intensifying commute pattems, and the interdependent economy and
society o� the region, the housing needs of the region affects every community. State law recognizes the
regional nature of the housing market, and requires every city and county to plan for its "fair shate" of the
region's housing need (Govemment Code, Section 65583(a)(1)).
The major goal of the RHNP is to assure a fair distribution of housing among cities and counties, so that
every community provides an opportunity for a mix of housing affordable to all economic segments. The
housing aliocation targets are not building requirements, but goals for each community to accommodate
through appropriate planning policies and land use regulaUons. Allocation targets are intended to assure
that adequate sites and zoning are made available to address anticipated housing demand during the
planning period and that market forces are not inhibited in addressing the housing needs of all economic
segments of a community. One of the few tools available to local jurisdictions to influence the
development of affordable housing is the power to regulate land use. Under state law, existlng zoning
ordinances, policies, buiiding standards, and other land use regulations cannot be used by local
jurisdictions as a just�cation for a request to reduce their RHNP housing targets except for the
preservation and protection of public health.
SLOCOG, under direction from state law and with input from a housing committee made up of jurisdictional
representatives and housing interests, has determined each locality's "Fair share" of the reglon's need for
housing, and has divided that need into the required four income categories of housing affordability. Local
housing needs may exceed this determination of a localitys regional fair share. SLOCOG has estimated
the minimum regional need for housing. Communities are aliowed to plan for and buiid a number of new
housing units exceeding their minimum "fair share' If possible, SLOCOG encourages communities to work
together to be sure that one area's excess can account for another's shortfalL
Council of Govemments are assigned the responsibility for RHNP preparation in part, because the State
has an interest in having regional agencies that prepare regional transportatlon plans also prepare the
RHNP. This helps to provide some consistency between the regfonai transportation planning procesg and
regional housing allocations. Ideally, the same assumpHons regarding regional population and hous(ng
growfh are Itkely to be used as the basis for twth the RHNA and the Regional Transportatlon Plan (RTP).
The short tertn HCD Statewide forecasts are higher than the projections used for the 2001 RTP and also
higher than the locally prepared jurisdictional and COG derived projections. Stafl has worked with the
State Department of Finance (DOF) and HCD to address these differences, yet ft appears that DOF
derived numbers have had the greatest influence on determining HCD allocaUons.

Housing Unit Distrtbutlon — By Income Category
C. Key Concepts
When using this plan, it is important to kaep in mind what the intention of the RHNP is, and is not. There
are four key concepts underlying the entire RHNP process that need to be clearly understood:
7. The housing unit allocations contained in the plan, as distributed by income qtsgory for each
jurisdiction, are primarily determined by three factors:
A) The jurisdiction's proJected job and housing growth in relation to region wide job and
housing growth; and,
B) The extent to which a jurisdiction's current income distribution differs from that of the
regionat average.
C) The HCD detertnined Regional Housing Need.
The pian's fair share adjustment allocates future (construction) need by each income category in a
manner that meets the state mandate to reduce the overconcenVation of lower income households in
one community versus another community. The aliocadon methodology derives future goals for each
community based on SLOCOGs objective of achieving a more balanced regbn-wide income
disUibuGon in each jurisdiction in the next 20 years. The housing methodology commfttee input, along
with staff recommendations, calls for a 50% shift toward the regional average for each jurisd'iction. For
example, those jurisdictions having a percentage of very low income households below the regional
0
average for this income category will
units than would a jurisdiction having
above the regional average.
be allocated a higher percentage of very low income housing
a base year percentage of very low income households at or
2. The allocations are tntended to be used by jurisdictions when updaUng their housing elements
as the basis for assuring that adequate sites and zoning are availaWe to aecommodats at least
the number of units allocated. Thev are not houstna unk auotas that Iurlsdtef�en:..,�.:r ...we..e
"_"_ ""_"'_ �. ....... ..v... ��vua��� �muo11 Y YaIB. � �.':_ • Y•.
Many jurisdictions, as well as other groups having an interest in affordable housing issues, often treat
the housing allocations as a numerical quota that must be achieved. This (s not the iMeM of `the
process, nor is It what the Califomia State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD)
is looking for when reviewing local housing elements. The State recognizes that the provisiori of
affoMable housing is largely market-driven, and that funding, subsidies and otl�er incentives to provide
affordable housing are very iimited. One of the few major tools avallable to local ju�isdicttons to
influence the development of affordable housing is the power to regulate land use. Thus, breeking
down devetopmenf barriers, such as exclusionary zoning and growth controls, are some of the major
goals of State law in the housing arena.
3. The reglonal allocations only address a portion of each Jurtsdfction's,local housing needs under
the provistons of State housing law.
?he primar� goal of the RHNP is to quantify each jurisdiction's responsibility for accommodating its fair
share of the regional housing need. The RHNP does not address all of the local housing needs of
each jurisdiction, just the share of the regional new housing consUuction need. Other local needs must
also be addressed in each jurisdiction's housing element, such as housirg overpayment and
overcrowding, housing preservation, a�d the housing needs of farmworkers students and other
special-needs groups. Local needs may be greater than the regional need for one or more income
categories. For example, higher than projected replacement housing needs, tha loss of affordable
rental housing, or local employment trends not anticipated by SLOCOG may create new hdusing
construction needs greater than the regional allocations.
Jurisdictions should try to ensure that adequate sites and zoning are available to accommodate
whichever need is the greatest within each household income category. In eddition, localt�es should
provide more definition of their need numbers by detertnining housing needs by type of dwelNng unit
and the housing requirements of special needs groups. The RHNP indirectly deals wiUi housing
affordability by providing a starting point from which jurisdictions can ensure that adequate sites and
zoning are availabte to accommodate their regional allocations for very low and bw-income
households. The RHNP does not directly assess housing affordability within each jurisdiction,
however. For example, the RHNP does not address the rent or mortgage payment that is effordable to
households in each of the four income categories. Again, the responsibility for assessing local housing
affordability rests with each jurisdiction as part of its housing element.
4. Under state law, existing zoning ordinances, policies, building standards and other land use
regulations cannot be used by local jurisdictions as a justification to reduce their RHNP
housing allocation targets.
Govemment Code Section 65584 (d) of regional housing ailocation law states that:
"(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), any ordinance, policy, or standard of a city or county
that direcNy limits, by number, the buiiding permits that may be issued for residentlal consVUCtion,
or limits for a set period of time the number of buildable lots that may be developed for residential
purposes, shall not be a just�cation for a determination or a reduction in the share of a city or
county of the regional housing need.
7
(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to any aty or county that imposes'a moratorium on residenUal
-. ;.construction fora spec�ed pertod of time in order to pr'eserve and protecf the pubiic health and
safety. If a moratorium is in effect, the city or c�unty shall, prior to a'revisbn pursuant to
subdivision (c), adopt findings that specifically describe the threat to the public health and safet�r
and the_reasons why construction of the number'of units specified'as Its'share of the regional �
, housing need would prevent the mitigaBon of that threat' - - � . � . � ._ ., >. . �

A 1987 Atfomey General Opinion (Opinion 87 206, see Appeodix E),'conduded that the availabilily of
suitable housing sites must be considered based not only upon the existing mning ordinances : and
land use.,restricHons ,of the locality, but also based upon.the 'potentlal for increased residential
development under attemative zoning ordlnances and land use restricdons. Cowxils of Govemments,
therefore, cannot accept reductions in a local judsdiction's RHNP `housing allocaUon targets based
upon existlng land use regulations that limit the availability of suitable sites to accommodate fts fair
share allocation targets. -
State law requfres SLOCOG to follow a set of guidelines in prepadng its regional housing need
determination. Guidelines come from two primary sources: (1) HCD who sets a housing need planning
target for the region, and (2) State law, which provides guidelines on how to aliocate the region's
housing naed among jurisdictions (Govemment Code, Sections 65584).

"This gap in the timeline is explained by the negotiations between HCD and SLOCOG regarding the RHNP
estimate. On June 10, 2002, HCD responded to SLOCOG's March 14th (second) app�l for a reduced
ailocation by stating that SLOCOG request for a further reducGon is denied and the 18,892 'loH/' aliocation
would stand. The letter detailing the reasons behind the HCD position can be found in Appendix &5.
GEOGRAPHY
The local jurisdictions addressed in the RHNA process include the seven incorporated cities and the
unincorporated area of the county. The following map shows the geographical relationship between
these areas.

COUNTYWIDE ESTIMATE OF REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is responsible for assigning regions
around the state with a share of the estimated statewide housing need. In the case of the SLOCOG region,
which is cotertninous with the County of San Luis Obispo, inclusive of the seven cities, the planning period
is January 2001 to July 2008. The assignment of the regional total of units (22,460 —. low estimate) was
initially provided by HCD in early November 2001 during a meeting HCD had with SLOCOG staff. After
SLOCOG review, a response letter was sent to HCD that provided a local perspedive on thefr State
growth assumptions and requested the initial allocation be substantially reduced, based on a variety'of
factors (Appendix B-2). Initialiy, SLOCOG and the local jurisdicUons requested a reducHon from 22,460
units to 10,360 citing: equity issues in relationship to allocations to surrounding countles, dubious
economic forecasts, resource constraints observed growth rates, local population projeclions, and ability
to provide such a rapid increase in housing stock over such a short period. In response, HCD partiaily
reduced the initial allocation of 22,460 to 18,892, provfding the curzent RHNA numbers as of their February
response letter (Appendix B-3). However, the basis for reduction by HCD did not acknowledge any of the
reasons cited by the SLOCOG appeaL
In March of 2002, SLOCOG continued to negotiate with HCD wRh the sentiment that the reduced number
was still well beyond the locai jurisdictions capacity to provide housing. On March 14, 2002, SLOCOG
sent another letter to HCD (Appendix B-4) requesfing a reductlon of 5000 units based upon replacement
need data, and migration issues related to equity and components of demographic change. On June 10,
2002, SLOCOG received a fax from HCD denying this request (Appendix B-5).
The change in the regional housing need estimate is described below and summarized in the following
table. HCD estimated and allocated the region's share of statewide need to San Luis Obispo County using
three majorfactors.
1. The January 2001 to July 2008 household growth (18,892 units) foreseen by HCD is based on the
State Depaftment of Finance forecasts that do not integrate local land use, zoning or other state
regulatory policies. SLOCOG and local forecasts of 2001 addresses some of these constraints and
results in a lower household growth. However, the lower SLOCOG househoid forecast was not
accepted by HCD and HCD used the higher Departrnent of Finance torecast.
2. Vacant owner and renter units allowing for residential choice was revised by HCD. Initially, the HCD
vacancy rate requirement target of 6% was based on a statewide average. SLOCOG argued that
this was an unrealistic target as it is historically higher than San Luis Obispo County jurisdictions
have experienced over the last 30 years. As a result, the vacancy requirement was reduced, to
reflect a rate based on local historic trends.
3. Units potentially needed to replace housing units lost due to conversion, demolition, or natural
disaster was determined by HCD to be 1,587 units. HCD uses a statewide average housing unitloss
rate of .002% annually and apples it to all housing markets in the state. There is a lack of local data
to determine the extent of lost units. Locai jurisdictions noted that many demolished units are
replaced with one or more units thus increasing the overail housing supply. HCD respcmded that lost
units are often not formally tracked and the .002% is likely lower than that experienced in the housing
market. Therefore, HCD did not alter their original estimate of units lost due to conversion,
demolition, or natural disaster, despite the fact that local jurisdictional surveys determined that the
likely housing stock loss was closer to 587 units for the period than HCD's 1,587.
HCD did make an adjustment for a discrepancy in reported group quarters vs. household data reported by
SLOCOG. HCD did not lower the requested allocation based on SLOCOG's arguments about competing
state policies, e.g., housing growth and coastai preservation, which affect the ability of local jurisdictions to
meet state housing targets.
� �U'�Y�T� The total of 18,892 units is the conservative allocation
for which the SLOCOG region can plan. HCD will allow planning for a higher number of units ff the COG so
desires. Additional detail on the factors that go into this calculation can be found in the Appendices 8-2
and C.
11
STATE ALLOCATION CRITERIA
Once the regional aliocation is adopted the next step in the RHNA process is to allocate the countywide
estimate of need to local jurisdictions. .
State law requires SLOCOG to follow a set of guidelines in preparing its RHNP. Guidelines come from tuvo
primary sources:
(7) HCD, which sets a housing need planning target for the region; and,
(2) State law, -which provides guidelines on how to allocate the regton's
jurisdictions (Govemment Code, Sections 65584 et. seq.) ` '
housing need' among
HCD is responsible for providing the region with its share of the estlmated statewide housing need for the
period of January 1, 2001 through July 1, 2008. HCD sets forth the region's housing n�d based on
employment and populaUon growth projections and changes in the housing stock (See HCD letter
attached as Appendix B-2). SLOCOG is required to take into'account planning ccrtsiileretions when
housing needs are allocated among jurisdictions (Govemment Code, Section 65584, Appendix D). State
law does not specifically define each "planning consideration," but allows SLOCOG to deUertnine how to
address each issue in the regional housing plan.
The planning considerations to be included in the analysis are:
•Maricet demand for housing
•Type and tenure of housing
•Employment opportunities
•Suftable sites and public facilities
•Commuting pattems
•Loss of assi5ted multifamily units
•Reduction of impaction
•Special housing needs
Market Demand: Anticipated employment and population growth are major detertninants of housing need
in the region. These factors, together with demographfc measures that predict househdd fortnation, are
considered as part of the estimation of market demand contribuUng to the RFiNP. This consideration is
accomplished primarily through the growth forecasting process, which measures demographic and
economic trends that create new jobs and population, and consequently housing need. The SLOCOG
forecast uses an employment, and population forecast to determine growth over the RHNP tlme period.
These forecasts were submiMed to HCD for considaration.
Type and Tenure: In order to fulfill the region's housing need, type and tenure (owner or renter occupied
households) must be considered. A Vacancy Need adjustment factor is built into the SLOCOG allocatlon
formula to ensure that there is a vacancy balance among jurisdictions. Varying segmerNS of the population
such as single persons, families with children, and retirees, requira different housing types. Housfng
tenure such as rentai and owner, and a variety of housing types such as sfngle family arrcl multl-family, are
all required for a healthy housing market. The housing need allpcation by income category, in general,
encourages the development of a variety of housing types: high density for lower income, senior housing
etc. This tevel of detail is best addressed in housing elements, reflecting needs of the locai housing market
more accurately than couid be done on a regional basis.
Suitab/e Sites and Public Facllifies: State law requires SLOCOG to consider the availability of suitable
sites and public facilities in the regional needs determination. Aawrding to the Calffomia Attomey General
(Opinion 87-206, see Appendix E), the availability of suitable sites must be based on exisling zoning
ordinances and land use restrictions of a locality and on the potential for increased resider►tia/ development
under attemative zoning and land use restrictions. State law also urohibits the RHNP to be ba�d on
prowth control measures, except to preserve public health and welfare (Govemment Code, Sedion
65584). SLOCOG incorporates this concept through its housing projections, which fortn the primary basis
for the regionai housing needs determination.
12
CommuNng Pattems: SLOCOG must also take into consideration the commutlng pattems of workers so
that future housing is not placed in areas that lack the potential for sufficient infrastructure. SCOCOGs
regional needs determination considers commuting pattems through its job-housing balance adjustment.
In particular, household growth by income and housing type will influence trip generatlon (number),
distribution (origin and destination), modal choice (auto, trdnsR, carpool, etc), assignment (which raoute is
taken), and congestion for the regional arterial and hlghway network. Jurisdictions that have had above
average job growth are being asked to accommodate more housing (proportlonally) than areas where
housing has outpaced job creation. The ultimate goal is to help reduce the propensity for woricers to live in
areas far from their jobs by providing additional housing in employment dch areas.
Employment Patterns: SLOCOG considers regional, and local employment pattems as they relate to
housing need through the growth forecasUng process, as described above In the sectlon, Market Demand.
Local policies or events not anticipated in the regional forecast could affect local housing demantl or need,
however.
Loss ofAssJsted UnJts: The RHNP detertninaUon should also take into consideration the loss of housing
units in assisted developments that convert to non low-income use due to subsidy expiratlon or termination
of use restrictions etc. Assisted deVelopments include multifamily rental households that receive
govemment assistance under an array of federal, state, and locai programs. .
Avoidance of Further Impactfon: The RHNP allocation requires that jurisdictions with high concentrations
of low-income households attempt to avoid further impaction. Therefore; the allocatlon of future lower
income households is decreased in those jurisdictions that have a higher proportion of very low or low-
income households than the countywide average. Conversely, the allocation of future bwer income
households is increased in those jurisdictions that have a lower proportion of very-low and bw-income
households than ihe countywide average. This assists in balancing the responsibilily for addressing the
housing needs of all economic segments of the community throughout low, middle, and higher income
communities. SLOCOG achieves this objective by shifting the income categories for housing need 50%
toward the regional average.
Special Housing Needs: The special housing needs of persons with unique housing situations, including
fartn workers, fixed income, and homeless and others should also be taken into consideration. An
assessment of farm workers and those who overpay for housing from previous census periods is inGuded
in the RHNA allocation to address some of these issues. Unfortunately, there fs a data limitation in
identifying the location and extent of persons with other special needs and they may best be addressed in
the local housing elements.
In addition, jurisdictions can find information on housing overcrowding and overpayment for use in
updating their housing elements from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD),
through their Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) program. CHA3 data can be
downloaded from the foliowing web site: http://webprod.aspensys.com/housing/chas/state.asp
13
APPEALS CRITERIA AND PROCESS
Under State law, jurisdictions are given an opportunity to commeM on; and propose revisbns to, their
share of the RHNP within 90 days of adoption. Acxording to the govemmerit code, any revision must meet
the test of accepted methodology, readily available data, and be consistent with State-identified crite�ia for
the RHNP.
Accordingly, appeals wili not be considered by SLOCOG unless they meet the following criteria:
1. The appeal must be received within 90 days of SLOCOG Board adoption of the Draft RHNR
SLOCOG strongly encourages jurisdictions intending to appeal to submit weli in advance of the
deadline.
2. The appealing jurisdiction must provide evidence that:
a) The RHNP methodology was incorrectly applied in determining the jurisdiction's allocation targets;
or
b) SLOCOG used incorrect or faulty numbers in determining their allocation targets (i.e., d'rfferent
numbers than the regional growth projections adopted by the SLOCOG Board on 3/15l01).
3. Appeals must be submitted by an authorized signatory; including:
• Mayor
• Chair of County Board of Supervisors �
• City Manager
• County CFaief Administrative Officer
4. A contact pe►son must be iden�ed. This person should be able to respond to SLOCOG staff
regarding the documentation pertinent to the appeal.
As stated previously, under State law, existing zoning ordinances, policies, buliding standards and
other land use regulations cannot be used by local juriadictions as a justifteation for a request to
reduce their RHNP housing allocaHon targets. The only exceptlon is tn cases where a maatorlum on
residential construction is legally imposed for a spec�ed period of time to preserve and protect the public
health and safety that would constrain the projected housing need.
Following the end of the 90-day revision request peFlOd, SLOCOG is required to take acUon on any
requested revision within 60 days. The SLOCOG Board will hear all appeals. SLOCOG staff will make a
recommendation to the Board on the technical merits of the appeal. SLOCOG may atxept Uie proposed
revision, modify its earlier determination, or indicate, based upon available data and accepted planning
methodology, why the proposed revision is inconsistent with the regional housing need.
If the SLOCOG Board does not accept the proposed revision, then the requesting jurisdiction has 30 days
to request a public hearing to review the housing allocation targets in question. SLOCOG then has 30
days to notify the requesting jurisdiction of at least one public hearing. The date established for such
hearing must be wfthin 30 days foilowing this notification.
If, as a. result of this process, SLOCOG accepts a proposed revision or modifies its earlier detertnination,
the city or county shall use that share. If SLOCOG grants a revised allocation, it must st�ll ensure that U►e

POLICY FOR RHNP REDISTRIBUTION UPON ANNEXATION OR INCORPORATION
In the event of annexaUon or incorporation of new Jurisdictions durin the lannin t, X'
9 P 9 Pertod of thls RHNP,
provision needs to be made for the redistribution of housing needs. The following policy establish��the
condftions and process for any such redistribution: ��
1. Filing ofApplicatfon forAnnexation or incorporation `?'�'�'-
Upon receipt of notice of filing from LAFCO of a proposed annexation or incorporation, the affected county
will notify SLOCOG of the proposal and resulting need for a redistribution of housfng needs between the
county and applicantjurisdiction.
2. Discussion with Mnexing/Incorporating City
During the course of the annexation/incorporation process, the affected county will negotiate in good faith
between the annexing/incorporating city and the county the RHNP allocations to be redistributed. There
cannot be a net reduction in the RHNP allocaUons withfn the coun This means that the total number of
housmg un�ts by income category accepted by the applicant jurisdiction, plus the remaining number of
units by income category attributable to the donor county, shall not be less than the original number of
units by income category originally allocated to the county by the RHNP. Other than satlstying this
requirement, the affected county and annexingfincorporating city may negoUate any redistribution of
housing need that is mutually acceptable.
3. SLOCOG Medfation
If, after negotiating in good faith, both the affected county and annexin�ncorporating city cannot reach a
mutualiy accepfable. redistribution of housing need, eRher jurisdiction may request that SLOCOG mediate
the redisVibuUon of housing need. The purpose of such mediaUon will not be for SLOCOG to actually
redistribute the housing need between the two affected jurisdictions, but to achieve mutualty acceptable
redistribution through negotiation. If, after mediation by SLOCOG, the affected county and
annexing/incorporating city still cannot reach a mutually acceptable redistributlon of housing needs, the
matter wiil be referred to HCD.
4. Annexation/Incorporetion Conditions
The affected county and the annexinglincorporating city will joinUy draft conditions covering the transfer of �
RHNP allocations from the county to the annexing/incorporating city. The affected county will request that
the RHNP conditions are included in the LAFCO resolution approving the annexatioMncoryoration.
5. LAFCO Imposition of Conditions
LAFCO imposes the proposed RHNP conditions in the resolution approving the annexation and/or
incorporation.
6. Transfer of RHNA Allocations
RHNP ailocations wiil be transferred from the county to the city as specified in the LAFCO resolution.
7. Housing Elements
7a. County Housing Element
The county's Housing Element should describe assumptions, conditions, and implications of any change
in RHNP assumptions resulting from an annexationfincorporation. Following the effedlve date of an
approved annexation/incorporation, the county may amend its Housing Element to reflect the change in
RHNP aliocations.
7b. City Housing Element Amendment (annexation) �
If the annexation and accompanying redistribution of RHNP allocations between aifected jurisdictions
occurs after the statutory housing element amendments have been adopted,`any city general plan
amendment accompanying an annexation must include amendment of the citys housing elemehf to
reflect that change. �>�. -,

If the incorporation and accompanying redistribution of RHNP allocations between affected jurisdictions
occurs after the, statutory housing element amendments have been adopted, the,new city wi11 include
the RHNP transfer in the housing element adopted for the new community.
8. State HCD Review
The transfer of RHNP allocations for annexations or incorporations pursuant to this policy is subject to the
review and approval of HCD prior to the implementing action. ,
Figure 3
METHOD OF ALLOCATING REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS TO LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS
The countywide allocation of need is based on three primary steps. The following diagram provides a
general description;
13,892 Units
Total RegionalNeed
Step 1
,10,608 Units
Allocated to jurisdictions
based on SLOCOG Job and
Growth Forecast
( 7�"� year period )
Step 2
3,284 Units
Allocated to
jurisdiccti�ons usirn�
Vacancy Need
Step 3
Housing units - by income level -
allocated to prevent concentrations
of very low and low income
residents.
The total regional allocation = the housing unit growth from the SLOCOG Growth Forecast 2000 over the
7.5 year RHNA period + housing units ailocated to adjust for jobs-housing balance. .This aUocation for
each jurisdidion is then disVibuted by income level so an attempt is made to reduce the concentradon for
areas having a high proportion of low or very low income.
The first step is an allocation of housing growth based on the regional growth forecasts, which used the
State of Calffomia's Em lo ment Develo ment De artrnent EDD b data and the S�� D nt of
the planning factors, such as market demand for housing; employment opportunitieS, suitable sites, public
facilities, and commuting pattems. See Appendix C.
16
The remaining 3,284 housing units are allocated in the second step (vacancy housing adjustrnent). This"
adjustrnent Is based on vacancy rate to address both demand and mobility in the housing market.
WeighUng factors, or multipliers, are applied to provide emphasis on individual criteria. For example,
employment is emphasized with a higher multiplier, so areas with the more employment growth since 1990
are allocated more housing. Areas with a higher vacancy rate should benefit as this factor is subtraded
from the total.', , . .; • ;- .,-
The third step (income distribution adjustment) attempts to make adjustments to avoid further impaction in
the concentration of very-low and low-income residents. Areas with higher than a4erage coricentratlons of
very-low and low-income residents are assigned more moderate and above moderate-income househoids.
Conversely, areas with more above moderate-income residents are assigned more low and very low-
income households. The income levels vary throughout the county as the following table shows.
Table 2 .
Household Income Distribution _
�
The purpose of this step is to try and moderate this discrepancy to some degree. The four income
category definitions used in the RHNA process are based on definitions established by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and State of Califomia for use in their assisted
housing programs. Income limits are adjusted for household and family size so that larger families have
higher income limits. The income categories are defined as follows:
"Area median," as defined in federal law and HUD regulations, is the higher of:
1) The metropolitan area or non-metropolitan county median family income
($50,200 in SLO County — 2001); or
2) The statewide non-metropolitan median family income ($38 for 2001).
17
The San Luis Obispo region's median family income is $50,200 so therefor #1 applies in this area.
Verv Low Income - up to 50% of the area median family income with edjustments for unusually hfgh
or low area income or housing costs and household size.
Low Income - between the very low-income limk and 80�0 of the area median famfly income with
adjustrnents for unusually high or low area income or housing costs and household size: `-' -
Moderate Income - between the low-income limk and 120% of the area median family income with
adjustrnents for unusually high or low area income or housing costs and household size.
Above Moderate Income - exceeding the moderate income limk adjusted for household size.
The 2000 Census income data at the place level is being incorporated into SLOCOG's'RHNP. Income
data is available for persons, families, and groups of unrelated persons living together. Percepita fn�me
data is not useful for this purpose since this information reflects income for an individual, induding young
children. Family income data is more useful, but ignores a large segment of the population that is living
together, but unrelated by blood or marriage. Household income data is used because it reflects the largest
population in the housing market.
The median household income in San Luis Obispo County in 2001 was $50,200. Applying the income
ranges to the median income results in the following distribution of household income groups:
Table 3
SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY Area Median Income t20011• f50.200

Moderate income 42,200 48,200 54,250 60,250 65,050 69,900 74,700 79,550
Higher income limits apply to families with more than eight persons. For all income groups, the income Ilmits Tor famflies
larger than eight persons are detertnined as foibws: for each person in excess of elght, add e(ghf percent of the Tour-person
inoome limit base to the eight-person Ifmit, and round the answer to the nearest $50.

SubJect: Response to Draft Regional Housing Need for San Luis Obispo County
DearLinda Wheaton,
The purpose of this letter is to request a reduction in the regional housing need idenUfied by your agency
for the San Luis Obispo region from the 22,460 indicated in your draft allocation to 10,360 housing units
based upon growth trends that are probable for our county in the near future. This SLOCOG proposed
number was calculated by using our projected growth increase from a populaUon of 253,399 in 2001 to
279,299 by 2008, and dividing by the HCD determined 2.5 persons per household for the county. We
believe this revised number is a more realistic target and dces not attempt to recover the detick in housing
stock that has accrued over decades during a single 7-year cycle. "
believes our county is receiving an

APPE3 DICES
SLOCOG REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN JULY 2002
SLOCOG recognizes the severity of the lack of housing optlons in the region"and the ramifications of not
providing sufficient housing choices. It is one of the foremost problems faced by resldents, planners,
businesses attempting to attract wdrkers, and those wishing to move into the area. In many areas: rents
are exorbitantly high; home prices are out of the range of all but the wealthiest buyers; families are
dedicating up to half of their incomes to housing; and workers are forced to live farther and farther`away
from job opportunities. The remedy to the problem does not lie in a single 7-year housing cyGe and must
be approached from a comprehensive set of policies and practices which take into account not only
providing for an increase in the housing stock; but also improving land-use planning poficies and practices;
developing new job location pattems, and supporting economic growth and more elfecUve transportation
policies and systems.
The Draft allocation provided by HCD seeking to accommodate 22,460 new housing units by Juy 2008, is
overly ambitious and exVemely unreatistic. The increase of 25�o housing stock over the 7-year cycie
would:
• Be inequitable in comparison with other coastal counfies.
• Create substantial harm in the arenas of congested roadways and crowded schools.
• Worsen air and water qualiUes,
• Increase demand on already limited water supplies. �
Proposed Basis for a Reduction of HCD's Dreft Allocation
SLOCOG understands that our response is required to address the nature of the HCD projection and not
focus on resource limitations. Therefore, we request HCD consider the following eight factors:
1. E°uitv: The SLOCOG region has the fewest number of jobs and population of any Central Coast
county yet is being asked to absorb the single highest level of increase in housing unks. This is not only
unfair, but is contrary to every pianning principle designed to prepare for growth in an incremental and
well-designed manner.
2. Limited Economic Changes: No foreseeable and significant rapid economic or demographic
changes are likery to occur in the county to precipitate an annual growth rate approaching the HCD and
DOF projections. Growth rates wouid need to double from the past decade's 1.3% rate of growth to
2.6% and steadily remain at that level in order to realize the HCD adopted projectlon. Historical data
does not reflect growth rates achieving (let alone maintaining) such high levels of expansive acHvity.
3. Conflicting Economic Forecasts: The detailed population forecasts conducted annually by UCSB
Economic Forecast indicates, for each of the recent years, grow[h rates of about 1% per year - well
below the HCD and DOF projection of 2.6% annual rates for each of the next 7 years. 20-year records
indicate the region has never grown at the rate anticipated in the preliminary HCD need estlmates. The
UCSB Economic Forecast reports a 1.6% countywide growth rate from 2000.2001. There would have
to be significant changes in job growth for the county to increase to an annual rate even approaching
the 2.6% projection — a rate not supported by state or national economic forecasts.
4. Source of Data for Household Forecasts: According to the RHND for the Association of Bay Area
Govemments, ABAG was allowed to use its own forecast of households for the end period, not DOF
projections. ABAG's forecast includes assumptions associated with demographic change, the
availability of housing supply, personal income, rising housing prices and other factors. Our estimates
are based upon the most current and appropriate infortnation.
5. Inconsistent Baseline Proiections: HCD used a 30-year population growth baseline to project San
Luis Obispo Count�s baseline for estimating population growth. ABAG, SCAG, SANDAG and SACOG
did not ali have 30-year baseline projections from 1970-2000. SACOG uses current housing stock and
APPE4 DICES
SLOCOG REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN
projects forward based upon input from member jurisdictions regarding persons per household data.
When jurisdictions did not provide that data, SACOG used a 10.year baseline projection based on
observed growth rates. This is precisely the methodology that SLOCOG has employed and HCD.has
atready approved the SACOG RHNP. ABAG used data for their projections with input from as far.back
as 25 years, but this was to proj�ct forvvard another 25 years. After consultlng with demographers and
senior level planners from ABAG, two points are worth noting: ;; •,;�,;:
When projecting long-term forecasts, it makes sense to use a longer baseline dataset , However,
• when looking at likely trends for the next 7 years, looking back 30 is not very helpful due`to the
dynamics of growth and change in the area - especially when the explosNre growtl� of the�mid-
seventies and mid-eighties is included (a time when the differential between ma►lcet rates for housing
here was well below that in the LA or Bay Area markets). ABAG demographers (Brfan Kirking)
agree that using a ten-year trend line is much more applicable to a 7 yearprojecUon than a 30.year
trend.
• In areas where the dynamics of economy and populations have been madced and noteworthy,
just looking at the recent trend is not a very useful tool due to the potential for fluctuatlons in growth
pattems. However, when an area is stable and has observed minimal fluctuatloris In growth rates,�
as San Luis Obispo County has been, it is more useful to use recent trends.
6. Observed Growth Rates: The following table demonstrates the difference between the most recent two
decades in terms of population growth in the region. The 1980's witnessed anywhere from a two to a
four-fold in�rease in growth rates when compared to the nineUes. Based upon job creatlon, economic
stability, and opportunities for procuring housing, even if many more units are constn�cted in an
"unconstrained model", there is no evidence that growth rates will approach levels projected by DOF and
HCD.

7. Housina Element Com�liance has had no bearina on Growth Rates: HCD staff has expressed concems
that usmg 7990's data, as SLOCOG has, to project trends into the coming housing cyde, is flawed due
to the fact that oniy 3 of the 8 housing elements were deemed by the State agency to : be in
compliance. HCD assumes that without complying with State regulations to update general plan
housing and land-use elements, jurisdictions have not planned for adequate housing and therefore
levels of growth have been artificially constrained due to non-compliance. This assurr�es that Housing
Element compliance is a primary contributor to the rate of growth. Using the table above and the
Housing Element compiiance information below, it is plain to see that no such correlatfon exists.• �For

example, the cities of Paso Robles and Atascadero have been the centers of residgntial and population
growth in the region, yet neither has a Housing Element that HCD deems 'in compliancs.°
Furthertnore, Grover Beach and Morro Bay, two cities deemed °in compifance' by HCD, have
experienced the lowest rates of growth of any jurisdiction in the County. ''

8. Other Factors: In addition to the above listed rationale the following points are noted regarding
projections for housing demand in the SLOCOG Region:
• Some of the job growth consists of home-based occupations and seif-employed workers. These jobs
don't generate additional housing demand and should not be counted toward the housing need
figure. For example, San Luis Obispo City business tax records show that 6,181 business tax
certificates were issued in 2000, and 7,443 issued in 2001, an increase of 1, 262 pertnits or 20
percent. Eight percent of this growth consists of home-based businesses.
The RHNA demand estimated for the period from January 1, 1991 to July 1, 1997 forthe City of San
Luis Obispo was 5,128 units, or 684 units per year. The city estimated actual need for 1994-1999,
based on economic, land suitability and pubiic services factors was 1,216 units, or 243 units per
year. The actuai number of units built during the period was 590 dwellings, or 118 units per year.
Between 1986 and 1990 — a fairly typical period in tertns of economic and development a�tivity — the
City of San Luis Obispo approved 668 new dweliings, an annual average of 134 units. Residentlal
growth limits, in effect during this period, would have allowed many times that amount.
• Between 1980 and 2001, the City of San Luis Obispo population increased from 34,252 to 44,613,
an annual average increase of 493 persons. Population growth from 2001-08 will be constrained by
economic and resource limitations. At an average household size of 2.27 persons per household,
that would translate into a need of about 217 units per year.
• The counties of Santa Cruz (13,318), Monterey (9,812), Santa Barbara (19,783) and Ventura
(21,545), all coastal counties with large retirement populations have RHNA numbers well below San
Luis Obispo County 22,460. All counties are significanUy larger and more urbanized than SLO
County with higher overall population growth rates. Why should their housing need figures be lower
than for the SLOCOG region?
Compiiance with the preliminary Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) numbers proposed by
HCD wouid be in direct conflict with legally established parameters regarding the conte�t and
adminisVation of General Plans, developed in accordance with existing State laws. In addition, directives
from other state agencies such as the Califomia Coastal Commission, the State's Ftegional Water Quality
Control Board, and other limitations imposed by the State Department of Fish and Game and the
Environmental Protection Agency preclude compliance with the expiosive housing production that HCD is
seeking for the SLOCOG region. ironically, state housing laws intended to regulate where and how

FEB 2 2 20�2
As you ]mow, your organization plays an important role in working with State azid local
Bovernment�in coordinatlng housing plenning for San Luis Obispo Cwnty. As you have iwted,
"the Imk of housing options in the region, and the iamificationa of not providing sufficient
housing choices, is one of the fonmost problems faced by rosidents, �lanners, . businesses
attempting to attract workers, and those wishing to move. to the aiees." GovemmenL Code
Sxtion 65554'requires the Depanment of Housing and �Community Development (HCD) tp
provide its determination of the county's shere of the State's existing and projxted Fwuaing needs
ro the San Luis Obispo Council of Govemments (SLOCOG). � -
In the process of determining your rogion's need, we have conducted outreach and consulrod with
repnsentatives hom your organization to implement this pracess since May of 2001. According
to your staff, your organization has implemented significant portions of the tasks involved in
preparing its regionsl housing needs plan (RFINp), qs described in the Appendix of this ]eKer, we
have considerod SIACOG's written submission received January 14, 2002. Thia lener truismits
HCD's detelmination of minimum nced for preparing a new ReBonal Housing Nads Plan
(RHNP) for use in updating the housing elements of each general plan within the county�(see
Attachment n. In this process, we were advised by Professor Paul Ong of UCLA's Lewis Centv
for Regional Policy Studies. , . .
Purpose of Regional Housing Nced Determinatlon — 7'he� RHNP is to provide pcojecced
houaing nced planning data, including the regional housing needs detemiination, for use by all
jurisdictions within the county for housing dement updates. As a msult of legislation enacted
wi[hin the last year (Chapter g5, Statutes of 2001), housing elements within your reAon ate to �be
updated by December 3I, 2003; the final RFIIVP is to be available by December 31, 2002. Each
housing element must domonstrate sites for residential development capacity at least equivalent to
lhe projected housing neW identified in the RHNP at development standerds accommpdating a
variety of types of housing for all income levels. - �

San Luis Obispo County's tight housing market, which in recent years has seen median ►pme
pricea rise to well above the statewide medien end rental occupancy races appros�h 100 petcent �
underscores tfie critical need for planning to increase housing supplies to �commodete.the
County's growth, As you have noted, "in many areas, xents are exhorp�tanUy high; home prices
aze out of the range of all but the wealthiest buyers; famiGes are dedicating up to half of their
incomes to housing; and workers are forced to live faNSer end fazther away from job
opportunidas.•• ,
'ILe State's critical need for increasing its housing supply is ut forth in stamte by the Legislature,
and represented in the Statewide Housing P1an Update "Raisina ihe Roof Cslifom;, Hnu'no
Proiections 1997 — 2020." Numwous other recent indicatms of housing conditions undetscaze the
importance of increasing your housing supply. The State's population growth during this decade
is projected to exceed that of the 1990s, as wimessed by the U.S. Census Bureau's recent estimate
that Ca1ifomia's population since Census 2000 accounts for almost onofikh of the nation's
growth.
HCD Determination ot Reetonal Housine Nced — Attachment i indicates the "I.ow" and
"Middle" portions of a range of altemative projxtions of hausing nced fot the counry. As
described in the att�hmrnts, this range incorporates historical rates of household famation, ag„
1990 vs. 2000. The "Middle" option is genttally recommended for use in yout RHNP. '17�e
"I.ow" altemative is presented in recog�ition of the difficulty of increasing housing capacity in
tight housing markeu in the short tam, and is our detemtination of the minimum houaing nad
that must be plenned for by jurisdictions in the counry within the planning period.'17ie RHNP may
include a regional housing need figure cither between the two altemauves of Attachment I or
exceeding the "Middte" altemativa
The detetmination in Attachment I is the culmination of consultation between HCD and the
SIACOG, consultation that included an RHNA Orientauon Workshop at UC Davis on September
7, 2001. 7'he workshop included a presentation by Mary Heim of the Department of P'ina�e's
(DOF� Demographic Research Unit addressing population issues and the methodology used to

As you }aow, beginning in November 2001 we have mviewed a d[aft regional housing nxd with'
representatives from your organization. I)u[ing these pieseneations 'and consultations, we
distributed and discussed the epplication of the regionai housing needs in housing element updatee
and also the methodology used in projecting haising needs, for which copiea of the cakulaeons.
and methodology are included as Attaciunents III and N. The altanatives on Auachment I diffa
from the dreft we discussed in November because of modifications we made baud u�m f�dbaCk
we ra:eived during tho consultation process. As provided in Govemment Code Sxtion 65584,
we have modified our draft deterntination considering the population forecasts that your staff seys
will be used for transportation planning.
It is important to keep in mind that the RHNP is not a forecast of residential boilding permit
activity. The fact that the projceted need significendy ezceeds recent levels of residential building
pertnit activiry attests to the need for a significanUy higher Ievel of residential conetruction
relative [o population growth. ' .
Deveiopment of the Reglonal Housing Needs Plan — The workplan schedu]e for preparsrion of
the RHNP by }rour COG is included in Attachment II.
SIACOG's allwation of tho housing need among jurisdictions is , to be detemvned by
SIACOG's planning process, and must considcr the stamtory factois of employment
opportuniries, commuting pattems, type and tenure of housing need, markeC demand, avai]abi)ity
of suitable sites and public facilities, the loss of affordability of assisted housing units, and Ne
housing needs of farmworkcrs (these criteria are listed in Attachment). In allocating the ha�sing
need among jurisdictions, entities should be aware tliat it may be nxessary for jurisdictions to
rezone additiona! rosidentiai devolopment capacity to accommodate their allocation of the
regional need.� Where applicable, a list of HUD-assisted units is included as Attachment VI for
consideration of the loss of affordable units. Each RHNP is ro allceate the housing nced among
the member jurisdictions to reduce the concentration of lower-income households in juriadictions
that have disproportionately high proportions of lower-income households. We will fonvard
additlonal technical assistance infomiation on calculation of income distributions for your
jurisdictions.
Note that planning for fazmworker housing needs is a topic where housing olements are requircd
to include more specific infoimation than in the past. HCD will forward a farmworker data
summary to you in Februazy. In Uie meantime, you can �cess data on ihe farmworker populaHon
in your coun[y from the following website:
http://migration.ucdavis.edu/rmn/rural_data/housing/housing.hunl.
If SIACOG desires flexibility other than the ability to redistribute housing need alloca6ons
among jurisdictions in response to lceal govemment requests for revisions in the a!lowed 90-day
period, the Draft RHNP should begin with a reAonal allocation excceding the "Low" altemative

Responses co SLOCOG Request for Reduction in
Consultatlon Draft Re�onal Housfng Need Dete�a�o
SLOCOG has requested a reduction in HCD's preliminary determination to "10,360 housing
wuts, bascd upon growth trends that are probable for (Ssn Luis Obispo) Counry in tLe �r
future", and also proposes certain rationale for the reduction. HCD cannot accept SI,OCOC,'s
proposed detemrination, as it is not based on acceptayk methodp�ogy. We have, however,
modified some of our calculation factors, which reduced our preliminary d��etmina6on as
described below.
Adiusunent for Proiected Population Differential
The statute provides that HCD is to make its deuimination of the County's housing nad "based
upon population projections produced by the Departrnent of Finance and regional pc�pulation
forecasts used in preparing regional vansporta6on plans, and in consultatiop with e6e CpG,�
We have adjusted the calculation for the lower population forecast reported by SLOCOG to be
used in mgional hansportation planning as indicated on Attachment IIia.
Vacancv Allowance
In calculating the consultation draft detemrinaGon, HCD had applied rental and owner vacancy
allowances capped at the median observed as of Census 2000 among Ne subject counties. As
noted-in our letter and in Attachment IIIa, we have modified the vacancy sllowance foT the
"I.ow" alternative to instead allow the 1990 — 2000 average of the vacancy rate for both owner
and antal housing. Thus, the attached "Low" alternative incorporates a lower vacancy ellowance
for rental housing as SLOCOG has requested, and also includes a lower vacancy allowance for
owner housing.
Methodoloev Differences
The methodology proposed by SLOCOG to forecast housing need for the county is inconsistent
with the methodology applicablc to projection of housing need at the regionel level and with that
used in this process, as is described in the Methodology description of Attachment II. SLOCOG
first proposes the selection of a rate of growth and applies a person per household rate. SIACOG
then compounds the crudeness of its population prediction by applying to a small portion of the
population a rate that is only appropriately applied to the whole populadon. SIACOG looks
only at the increment of growth when it applies a derived rate of household fortnation. If we
were to use this crude method of SLOCOG's populadon forecast for 2008 o.f 279,299, tl�m
SLOCOG's forecast would have 111,720 households and the RHNA nced would be 21,006.
It is not merely the amount of population gowth that drives housing need, however. Merely
divi�ng projected population growth by an average household siu as proposed by SIACOG
dces not incorporate the demographic components that drive household farnnation, which include
age, sex, and ethnicity. [n addition, SIACOG's proposal inc(udes no vacancy allowancx. In the
cohort method used by DOF, aclual rates of household formation (headahip rates) are app6dd to
components of each County's population to then project household growth. 100 people of
different ages and ethnicity do not exhibit equivalent housing consumption pattems. For
example, given two counties with the same amount of projected population growth, one with a
� Govemment Code Sa[ion 65584(a).

high proportion of nti7ed white couples in their 60's will generally have higher rates of housuig
unit domand then one with a higher proportion of single femsle heads of household with
children. These demographic characteristics also indiiectly incorpoiace the influence of i�Kwme,
which is a factor in household fmma6on affecting rate of homeownerahip and We i�cidenc� of
rendng; homeownership and iental rates also vary by county.
Other Issues Iteised:
Non-Compsrabilitv of RFINAs across counties and across dme•
For sevaal reasons, projected housing needs vary betwcen cou�bes, and do not incoipoiate a
constant mlationship relative to total popula8on siu, as is proposed by SLOCOG. The
demogaphic composition of population and essceiated growth and housing conswnpdon diffe�a
by county. A lazge share of San Luis Obispo county's populatlon growth has bce� migradon� �e
County includes a reladvely smalier share of Hispanic population then other California camtiea.
Rela6vely less populous areas with growing econotnies may well outpace housing demand;n
neighboring, moic populous areas. Further, since regiona] housing need detdminati�e are qi
staggeied timelines and neighboring counties are in different councils of govemments, tl� dua
and comparative consultation processes also diffec In cases where a COG•s prujectiooa equsi m
excced those of DOF and HCD (as occumd in some of some prior CpGs) th� CpC,�$ pro��b��
whjch may have been amved at on a different basis, is accepted.
Baseline Issue
It appears that SLOCOG misunderstood how a 30-year period (the decades of the 1970s, 1980,
and 1990s) waz used by HCD — it was used not to project the populetion growth, but to aasess
whether or not the implicit growth rates of DOF's projected population growth for 2010 had
been observed al some point during this period.
As described in the Methodology Attachment IV, made available to SLOCOG in November, the
projected household growth waz calculated using household formation rates as of the two most
recent Censuses_(1990 and 2000), thus the last 20 yeazs, and an eztrapolation of the ve�, The
assessment of the implicit population growth rates of the next decade to last three dec�es
indicated that the County's growth rates in each decade, beginning with the 1970s, was 3.9396,
3.40%, and 1.13%, compared to an implicit 2.6296 for the nezt decade. Our assessment of the
three decades verified that the County population growth rste was abnotmslly low dming ihe
1990s, and that DOFs implicit projected growth rate is well below the previous rates observed in
the 1970 and 1980s.
RelaGonshin of Growth Rates and ener Planc
We have not proposed that housing element compliance is responsible for driving 1he county's
gowth rate as asserted by SLOCOG. The lack of updated ]and use plens, including entim
general plans, as well as housing elements, do affcet the County's ability to accommodate
growth. For ezample, according to OPR, at ]east of the 8 jurisdictlons within the County have
general plans that have not been updated in moro than 10 yea�. I.ocal general plan po�icie,y do
not override roquirements of state law to update general plans and pousing elements to
accommodate growth.

SLOCOG -�tter to HCD
Date: March 14, 2002
JULY 2002
Julie Bomstein, Director
Califomia Department of Housing and Community Development
1800 Third Street, Suite 430
P. O. Box 952053
Sacramento, CA 94252-2053
Subject: Response to Revised Regional Housing Need for San Luis Obispo County
Dear Ms. Bomstein,
The purpose of this letter is to request a reduction in the regional housing need identified by your agency
for the San Luis Obispo region from the 18,892 indicated in your revised allocation to 13,892 housing units
based upon the following criteria:
1. A 1000 unit reduction due to an over-allocation by your agency of anticipated units lost from the
housing Stock.
2. A 2000 unit reduction due to an inequitable over-allocation to San Luis Obispo County as a result
of flawain the demographic model employed by your agency.
3. A 2000 unit reduction based upon the components of population change anticipated by the
Califomia Department of Finance and by HCD to be experienced in the SLOCOG region.
This revised SLOCOG proposed number is an effort by the Council of Govemments to achieve a
potentially attainable regional housing needs allocation that is more fair and recognizing the Vends that
have occurred over the last decade. The proposal of 13,892 attempts to remedy housing ahortages within
the local housing market and acknowledges that surrounding areas are putting undue pressure upon our
own market by their lack of accommodation of their respective regional housing needs. We belie.ve this
revised number is a more realistic target and does not attempt to recover the deflcit in housing stock that
has accrued over decades during a single 7-year cycle.
(h) Replacement unit data. HCD uses data on loss of housing stock coilected statewide in order to
calculate a ratio of average units taken out of the local housing stock. The number used in HCD's
formula is 0.002. it is multiplied by the average number of housing unitsfioreseen for ihe planning
period (the 2008 units — the 2001 units / 2). The number determined for the SLOCOG region is
1587 units lost (as a result of demolition, deterioration, disaster, or conversions to non-residential
uses). While SLOCOG understands that the method is useful on the aggregate level, these
"estimates" that HCD makes for our local level are inaccurate and misrepresenta8ve of actual
housing loss activity.
In an effort to arrive at a sound determination of lost housing stock, SLOCOG staff surveyed our eight
member jurisdictions asking them to review their records for a detertnination of an average number of units
lost over the recent 5-10 year period. The survey requested data on replacement units of all types;
demolition, conversions to non-residential space; and any other types of single family and mu�iple family
housing unit losses. The request was for data that is veri�able and as up-to-date as possible. The results
of the survey are displayed in the Tabie A.

SLOCOG REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN
JULY 2002
As Table A indicates, the rates of housing loss experienced in San Luis Abispo.County do not approach
the level of the statewide average anticipated by HCD. The average numbar of units bst fn the last 7.5
year cycle is about 400, yet HCD is aggressively projecting housing losses of 1587 unifs — more than 3.7
times the observed amounts based upon surveys of our communkies. Tha difference between a projected
587 lost units and SLOCOG's observed <400 lost units will provide for an ample 'margin of erro�'.
normal loss of units".
2. Inequitable Distributbn of Anticipated Need. SLOCOG realizes that this isnot the forum for reallocating
RHNA to all of the surrounding coastal counties, nor are we requesting such of HCD. Yet the fact remains
that our region, with the smallest economy and least amount of infrastructure, is betng asked to
accommodate the greatest proportion of regional housing needs of any central coast county. Even ff the
HCD demogrephic model is strictiy applied and our housing need is projected to be higher than'that of
neighboring counties, the inherent flaw in the HCD projections lies in its ignorance of other faeto►s which
directiy relate to our region's ability to facilitate explosive housing growth and the accompanying services
such growth predicates. Counties can serve as manageable regtonal planning areas, but ignoring the
cross-county relationships, particularly as they relate to housing chofces and residential locations, is poor
planning at best and detrimental to local communities at worst.
The relatively higher housing prices in surrounding counties have undoubtediy contributed significanUy to
the domestic out-migration witnessed along the coast betwean Santa Cruz and Ventura. Up until a few
years ago, San Luis Obispo was a refuge for homebuyers able to find relatively affordable housing that
included a'Centrat Coast" lifestyle. Such an influx to our area has caused housing p�ices to rise
dramaticaliy and actually begin to approach prices in our neighboring counties. Because of this set of
circumstances, HCD's projection model, as it is currendy used, demands that we continue this trend of
absorbing what have been equity rich migrants into our area. Throughout the 1990's the surrounding
counties were (and are still) unable or unwilling to provide for an adequate stock of housing options. San
Luis Obispo County is clearly being asked to not oniy accommodate our own housing needs, but those of
surrounding coastal counties, as is evident by our large proportion of immtgration relative to surround
areas. The current HCD process and methodology supports and perpetuates this unhealthy dynamic:
SLOCOG is proposing that this be remedied, studied further, and corrected prior to the next HCD housing
needs aliocation process. Until then, the only immediate solution is for HCD to lower the �roiection for San

Components of Change. While strongly interrelated with the issue of distribution of anticipated need, the
details of the components of change can be both indicative of household formation rates and
misrepresenting of future Vends. One of the driving forces of San Luis Obispo's observed growth rates
marked by hfgh levels of immigration and moderate levels of natural increase over the last decade, was the
fact that housing sites were relatively affordable, jobs were available and thts was, and is, an extremely
desirable destinaGon for job seekers and retirees.
With the notable discrepancy between our housing prices and those of surrounding areas disappearing,
the high rate of immigration witnessed in the 1990's is likely to subside. HCD is basir►g SLOCOGs
regional housing needs allocation partially upon this immigretlon trend of recant years yet seems to be
ignoring the driving forces for that migration. If HCD was to acknowledge why immigraUon has been a
major contributing factor (i.e. due to our low "beginning poinY' of affprdabilily, re{ative ease of project
approval, and greater site availabiliry), the agency could also recognize that providing for explosive
housing growth is a self-fulfilling prophecy for continued rates of high migration and high household
formation — and would likely result in a political backlash to limit growth as evidenced by the number of
local initiatives around the state in recent years. This type of growth would destroy ou� sense of
community and transform the region into a sprawling suburbia of homes, lost farmland and wasted.
resources at a time when public and private agencies are beginning to shift:toward more sustainabie
development and smart growth practices.
Based upon the demography of the "components of change" used by HCD in their projection model and
the fact that this model has within it inherent flaws which force San Luis Obispo to absorb more than our
share of housing; SLOCOG is reouestina that the number be reduced bv 2000 housing units for the
olanning oeriod endina on July 1. 2008.
Our challenge as the Council of Govemments, Metropolitan Planning OrganizaHon, and Regional
Transportation Planning Agency for the region lies in effective coordination with ourmember jurisdictions in
the provision of the right types of housing and other forms of development located in favorable areas linked
to integrated transpoRation networks. Any new wave of development needs to be designed efficienUy and
carefutly so as not to overburden our limited resources. Furthermore, mechanisms for securing a range of
funding sources to mitigate the costs of providing affordable housing to our region must be increased and
improved.
Presently, the HCD process for allocating regional housing needs backed by penalties, threats of lawsuits,
and ineligibiliry for securing the necessary grents to meet the requirements for low-income housing — rather
than being supported by incentive based programs is ineffective. HCD's eifort in seeking a regional
housing needs allocation for San Luis Obispo County that is extreme, unfair, and without the proper
support mechanisms will not heip the state's housing shortfalls in general, nor will it help the SLOCOG
region in particular. If HCD was to have iYs way and thousands of housing units were to be rapidly placed
throughout the county, there is no doubt that our region will be worse off by 2008, not better, lending itself
as another Los Angeles lesson for others to leam about how not to develop.
SLOCOG strongly believes the predicted household growth — and the resultant proposed number of
"needed" housing units estimated by HCD, far exceed the anticipated demand and the capability of local
jurisdictions to serve such growth. It is our intention to continue working closely with our member
jurisdictions and our State legislators in this process; however, it becomes increasingly difficutt if the
anticipated housing demand for the region is based upon inflated estimates and flawed methodologies
which ignore the reality of avaiiabie resources, the nuances of demographic change, and the historic,
present and anticipated housing market.

RE: Regional Housing Needa Determination
This letter nsponds to your April 12, 2002 requesy for a reduction in ihe re8onal housing need
detrnnination established in our )etter of February 14, 2002, ps you kirow, Govemment Code
Section 65584 requires the Department of Housing and Community peveippmrn� (��� �
provide its determination of the County's housing needs to the San Luis Obispo Cowrcil bf
Govemments (SLOCOG) for updating local housing elements. Whi1e we appreciate your
concems, we are unable to grant the reduction requested, at diseussed below.
Prior to our February 2002 letter of detertnination, we consulted with represrn�ati�es from your
organization to implement the mgional housing nxds praess, beginning in May of 2001, when
ow stafTattrnded a meeting with staff of inember jurisdietions in San Luis Obispo. In Novanber
in Santa Maria, we also met with SLOCOG staff to discuss our . preliminary range of
determinations in November in Santa Maria, where we reqvested fcedback prior to issuing our
detennination. During these presentations and consultations, we distributed end discussed t}k
methodology used by the Depaztrnent of Finance end HCD in projecting housing nxds. As noted
in our February 14, 2002 tetter, maldng our detertninntion, we consideted Ihe points raised ie '
SLOCOG written request. for a� reduction to 10,360 housing units in the preliminmy�'
determination raeived January 14, 2002, addressed (hose poiats ppprndix of tha[ letter. We
modified our preliminary determination and reduced the "lovr' or minimum need based upon :
feedback we received, including consideration of the population forecasis that your staff indieated
is being used for transportation planning. � .
Your most rxrnt request for additional reduction in the minimum regional housing need, to
13,892 units, proposes reductions of I,000 units of the replacement component, 2,000 units for
what you have described as inequitable distribution based on miBation assumptions, and an
additional 2,000 units, also related to migation assumptions; constituting a total of 5,000. It
ahould be noted that in proparing the housing need determination, we developed a range of
housing need, based on three different rates of household fomiation, and that the figurc you are
seeking to reduce is the lowest of the three altcmatives. The difference between the low and ihe
middle altemative (26,569) is more than 5,000 uni[s. With regard to the replacement

a s�uvey done by other courrties.
San Lnis Obispo County's high shaze of population growth due to migration is not �mique. You
have indicated that San Luis Obispo County is Ixing asked to accommodate the housing nxd of
surrowding coastat counGes, citing an influx of miganis from countles between Santa Ccuz and
Venhua• Califomia's growth has historically been driven by a very large component of migration,
including migation betwern counties, 77w respons;bil�h, � plan for housing is nol limited tp
planning for people bom in the same location — residrntial mobility is impertaM to the State's
dynamic economy. 7'he arguments related to migration are inconsisterit with the PuryOSe �
demogaphic methodology of the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA), as well as preveilmg ^
development pattems.
Even if the County•s growth due to migration were unique, the arguments you have presenkd
invo�ve different circurristances than essumed. ly����� � g� Luis Obispo is not necesserily
dominated by migrants &om the neighboring coastal wunties, accotding to infortnation included
in Ihe I999 Reeional Profile published by SLOCOG. In F7' 1995/96, for exarnplq th� }�g�t
origin of net mi�ation to the County was from out of state, and California counties includiag Los
Angele's, Orangq Vrntura and Fresrro. '['I�erc wae as many migants from Kern to San Luis
Obispo counties as from Vrntura to San Luis Obispo counties. Nearly as many p�p� ��
from San Luis Obispo to Santa Barbara counties as vice vcrsa, and neitha IvIonteroy nor Santa
Cruz counties ranked among top counties of origin. It is our understanding that many people wlw
work in southem San Luis Obispo County live in the Santa Maria arca of Santa Barbare County.
The justification for an additional reduction of 2,000 units is $un��az�y u�founded. Your prior
acknowledgement of housing conditions including pchorbitanUy high rents� b�� ���
affordxb3e to oniy the wealthy, extremely high housing cost burdens for families, and i�rcas;ng
commute distances, are strong indicators of the nced to plan for significant i�reases in th�
housing supply,� Increases in the County's housing supply is needed to ot}'sef price approcjatron;
it would be contrary to the purpose of the RHNq process and housing element upda�ea �o p�� f�
high housing prices to act as a bartier to population growth, Although ]ocal gov�r��� ��t
responsible for the actual construction of housing wuts, the fact that the projected p�
significantly exceeds recrnt levels of residential building petmit activity attesls to t6e nad tor a
significantly higher level otresidential consWction rolative to population growth than has �
occurring.

this process. From ffie projxted growth in the number of householdi (occupied hcnsing

These calculations are includcd in Attachmeut III, and described below.

available. This is the year in which HCD is to provide the deteimination to the COG o� a
county, using DOF estimates of population, households, and housing; the projection end
point is the end oFthe relevant housing elemem planning period, July 2008. Thus, the
projxtion of regional housing need is for 7.5 yeazs.

DOF's projections for household populations, which qccludes people living in group
quarters. For a detailed wcplanation of this pmcess, see the sxtion below entided
"Methodology used for DOF Population Projections".
Proiected Household Growth
Household gowth typically comprises ffie largat component of projected housing need.
Household growth is projected on the basia of the pmjected population gmwth ¢om
January 200t to Ju(y 2008, to produce a range of three altematives fiom low to high of
the number of households projceted to be needed. Pmjected household growth is
calculated using headship rates for a given aex/agdethnic group. Tha headshjp �ate is the
number of houuholds headed by a person (the householder) in a given group divided by
the number of all household cecupants in thaz goup, and is calculated based on We 1990
and 2000 crnsuses. The population is categorized into the following age and ethnic
groups: under 18,18 — 24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, and 65+; and White, Hispanic,
Black, and other. DOF's projected household calculations were adjusted by HCD

and middie points of this range, the housing nad is determined and presentd► }�e ��
Low and Middle altematives. The term `households' accludes goup quarters.
Consideration of Ponulation Forecas of Re0onal Transportation Planning
HCD solicited the most cumnt populatioa forxasts included in Regional Transportatian
P�ans (RTPs), which are required to be prepaied 6y MPOs or RTPA pursuant W
Califomia Govemment Code Sec6on 14522, as described in "Regional Tranaporfation
Guidelines," Califomia Transportation Commission,l2/9/99. In some casa, theee have
been in draft form, pending adoption within t6e near future. $tate Iaw requires by
September 2001 by each Regional Transportation Platming Agaicy (RTPA) to a�pt a�
update the'ir Regional Transportation Plao (RTP) for review by the Califotnia
Transporca6on Commission and the Department of Transportation (Caltrans), followed
by updated every three yeats in wban regions and every four years in non-utban regions
(Govemment Code Sec6on 65080c).
HCD consulted with the COG or RTPA, reviewing the population forecasts for tl�e RTPa,
including whether a forecast was availabte or applicable to the planning petiod, and has
been updated since Census 2000 or olhenvise based on cutrent data, and where
applicable, converted it to data compazable in timeframe rolative ►o the RHNA plannipg
period (e.g., 2010 forecast to 2008). DifferrnGa! population projxtions within a
consistent or viable range aze accommodated withm a range of altemative housing need
figures provided to the COG or county.
Calculatin¢ Housing Units Needed
For the number of households projected by DOF for 7/2008, the housing utrits of
pem�anent stock naded ro serve those households was computed. The housing stodc
providing such housing units is shaped by two factors: vacant units allowing househu�ds
either to' fonn or to move; and, loss of units due to.disaster, conversion, and deterioration.
This detamina6on develops the number of vacant tmits roquired to serve the household
population; this 'vacancy allowance' is calculated separately for owners and for renters,
applying the homeowner and renter rates from Census 2000. Next, the number of units
that can be expected to be lost is calculated; these units must be replaced or the 6ousing
stock will be too small to accommodate the pmjected households. FinaUy, since the
housing need may include units on tribal lands that are not governed by Wis planning
process, the regiona! housing need is reduced by that proportion that has been provided
historically on tribal lands.
APPE3 DICES
JULY 2002
SLOCOG REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN
To calwlate the number ofvacant units naded for the future [une�oning of t6e region's
lwusing msrket, the vacancy allowance for ownas and renteas is considaed sepantely.
The share of households that is owneo-occupied is assumed tu remain wnatant thmu�O�t
the planning period. The reata share complemeMS the ownc share wch t6at the hvo add
W the projected households. The rate of vacarwy thet de�e�mines t�e vecamcy allowance
for either owners or rentas was taken from t6e approximate roedian of the U.S. Cemuses
of 2000 for the af1'xted counHes: the median rates for cowties in this staNtory round is
2% for owners and 6% for rentas. When a counry's rete acceods the median, tlte median
is used; otherwise, the lower-t6an-median rate is tised. T6e vacancy allowa�ce eqwis
the number of units thay when added to the number of owaer azd renter house6olds, will
yield the vacancy rate figured above.
Ne�ct steps involve calculating the additional pamanent stcek naded and the 1�7cely loss
of units from existing stock. Permanrnt stock for any year is the sum of the units
cecupied by owners and renters plus the vacmt units that will save ownas and �tas
but not rxreational nor seasonal users. 1'he difference between th� 7/Zppg perma��
stock and the e�cisting 1/2001 stock establishes some of the'additional' imits that will
nced to be accommodated.
Because 6ousing stock is subjxt to destruction, conversion and dcterioration, a loss of
housing units is expated for each year of the planning paiod, 77�at �oss �s calculated
using the his[orically-established factor of .002/year, ppp�ied W th� p�a�ng period•S
a'verage permanent stock, the removal or loss factor indicates how many unita must be
replaced for there to be adaquate stock. These repl�ement units are added to the
addi6onal units needed unless replacements acceed 25% of the addi6onal units; ;pso,
then replacements units are capp�► at that 25Yo, in accordance with Govemment Code
Section 65583.1. c.l. of Housing Element L.aw.
These calculations thus faz include housing units, if any in the county, on tribal lands that
are not govemed by t6is planning process. Thus, once the additionat imits and
replacement units are added together, their total was reduced by the share of the housing
stcek that has been provided historicalty on tdballands, The sum of these components
produces the re�onal housing need for that Low or Middle housing unit need projection.

Survival. Fertititv and Mi�ation PropoAions
Life tables were developed using deaths fmm the Depaetment of Health Services
by genda, racdethnicity and age for 1970, 1980, and 1990.
Age-spxific, general, and period fertility rates were developed by racelethmcity
and by county for 1970,1980, and 1990. Births w womm under IS and ovu 44
were added ro the births of the youngest and oldest age groups whep computing
the f�rtility rates. For instance, a birth to a 46-yearold woman would be included
in the calculation of the 40-44 age-spacific fertiGry rate.
Migration proportions wae developed for the hvo decades between 1970 aod
1990 by a survived population method. The 1970 population was aged forward in
time w 1980 by adding recorded births W form new cohoits and subtractiag
deattu fmm existing cohorts. The survived populatioa wes compat�d to the 1980
popula6on and differences were ess�ed to be migi�ation. The ten-year migation
was annualized and divided by the totil W derive a proportion. The same process
was used for the period 1980 to 1990. T6e migation proportions for the two
decades wero then averaged and smoothed using a Svcyear moving avecage.
Assumptions
Base Population: As the benchmazk (or stazting population), the Depar�ent of
Finance has used the 1990 Census coimts as modi5ed by the Buroau of the
Census for ]mown misreporting. These counts represent a modification W Ux age
distribution of the census wunt and not an adjustment for u�ercount to the total.
This is consistent with tbe populaHon wltic6 is being used by the Censos Burr,au
for cucrent estimates as well as the na6onal projections. The ceosus population
was moved forward from April I to mid-year.
The Depaztment of Finance further refines this base population for special
populations as discussed eazlier.
FertiliN: Between 1950 and 1980, the fertility rates of Califomia and the nation
did merge; however, a sharp divergence began during the 1980s. While the
naGon's fertility rates were flat, fertility rates in Ca6fomia rou sharyly. The
majority of this divagence is due to Califomia's greater race%thnic divecsity and
the feRility differenca among theu gmups.

CONCLUSIONS '
1. The determination of a locality's share of the regional housing needs by a council of govemments
must inGude both the existing and projected housing needs of the locality. „
2. The availability of suitable housing sites must be considered based not only upon the existing
zoning ordinances and land use restrictions of the locality but also :based uport the paentia� for
increased residential development under aRemative zoning ordinances and iand use resMctionS,
3. The income categories of sections 6910.6932 of tiUe 25 of the Calffomia
Administrative Code must be used.
ANALYSIS
The three questions presented for analysis concern a city's or county's share of regional housing
needs as determined by a council of govemments and set forth in its generai pian. in analyzing these
questions we preliminarily note that every city and county operates under a comprehensive and long-
term general plan to guide its future physical development. (Gov. Code, §:gg3pA;,guena �tista Garden

v. County of Calaveras (1984) 156 Cal.App.3d 1176, 1183 J Section 8530U states:
"Each planning agency shall prepare and the legislative body of each county and city shall adopt a
comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city, and of any
land outside its. boundaries which in the planning agencys judgment bears relatiort to its planning.
Chartered cities shall adopt general plans which contain the mandaYory efements specified in Section
65302."
Section 65302 provides: "The general plan shall consist of a statement of development policies and
shall include a diagram or diagrams and text setting forth objectives, principles, standards, and plan
proposals. The plan shall include the following elements.
"(c) A housing element as provided in Article 10.6 (commencing with Section 65580).
The "housing element as provided in Article 10.6" (§§ 65580-65589.8) must meet detailed
requirements. Section 65583 provides: "The housing element shall consist of an identificatlon and
analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified
objectives, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing.
The housing element shall identify adequate sites for housing, inciuding rental housing, factory-built
housing, and mobile homes, and shali make adequate provision for the existing and projected needs
of alt economic segments of the community. The element shall contain all of the following:
(a) An assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to the
meeting of these needs. The assessment and inventory shall include the following:
"(1) Analysis of population and employment trends and documentation of projections and a
quantificaUon of the locality's existing and projected housing needs for all income leyels. These
existing and projected needs shail include the locality's share of the regional housing need in
accordance with Section 65584

Section 65584 states:
JULY 2002
"(a) For purposes of subdivision (a) of Section 65583, a localitys'share of the regional housing needs
includes that share of the housing need of persons at all income levels within the area signifi
affected by a jurisiiiction's general plan. The distribution of regional housing needs shall based upon
available data, take into consideration market demand for housing, emp�oyment opportunkies; the
availability of suitable sites and publlc faciliUes, commuting pattems, type and.:tenure ofhousing need,
and the housing needs of farmworkers. The distribution shall seek to avoid further Impaction of
localities with reiatively high proportions of lower income households. Based upon data provided by
the Department of Finance, .in consultation with each counal of govemment
Housing and Community DevelopmeM shall determine the regional share of the; sta� housing
need at least two years prior to the second revision, and all subsequent:revisions as required
pursuant to Section 65588.
Based upon data provided by the Department of Housing and Community:Qevelopment relatiye to the
statewide need for housing, each council of govemments shall determine the existing and projected
housing need for its region. Within 30 days following notification of this determination, the pepartment
of Housing and Community Development shali ensure that this determination is consistent with the
statewide housing need and may revise the determination of the council of govemments if nec;essary
to obtain this consistency. Each Iocaiity's share shall be determined by the_ appropriate council of
govemments consistent with the criteria above with the advice of the:departme�;rsutsject to the
procedure established pursuant to subdivision (c) at least one year prior to the second revision, and at
five-year intervals following the second revision pursuant to Section 65588.
"(b) For areas .with no council of governments, the Department of Housing and Community
Development shall determine housing market areas and define the regional housing need for loca�ities
within these areas. Where the department determines that a local govemment possesses the
capability and resources and has agreed to accept the responsibility, with cespect to its jurisdiction, for
the identification and determination of housing market areas and regional housing needs, the
department shall delegate this responsibility to the local govemments within these area.
Section 65584 gives the Department of Housing and Community Development ("DepartmenY') various
responsibilities including the duty to define the regional housing need for localities in areas not
covered by a council of govemments, unless it has delegated such authority to a local govemment.
For cities and counties located in areas served by a council of govemments, the counal pertorms this
function.
Section 65584 requires the Department or a council to act when a housing element of a city or county
is revised "pursuant to Section 65588." The latter statute designates various dates for housing
element revisions, including for areas covered by specified councils of govemments:
"(1) Locai govemments within the regional jurisdiction of the Southem Califomia Association of
Govemments: July 1, 1984, for the first revision and July 1, 1989, for the second revision.
"(2) Local govemments within the regional jurisdiction of the Association of Bay Area Govemments:
January 1, 1985, for the first revision, and July 1, 1990, for the second revision.
"(3) Local governments within the regional jurisdiction of the San Diego Association of Govemments,
the Council of Fresno County Govemments, the Kem County Council of Govemments; the
Sacramento Council of Governments, and the Association of Monterey Bay Area Govemments: July
1, 1985, for the first revision, and July 1, 1991, for the second revision."

Thereafter a housing element revision is required "not less than every five years." (§ 65588, subd.
(b)•)
The focus of the three inquiries is directed at both sections 65583 and 65584. Several we11-recognized
principles of statutory construction aid our analysis of these iegistative enactments, In construing
statutory language, we are to "ascertain the intent of the Legisla4ure so as to effectuate the purpose of
the law." (Select Base Materials v. Board of Equal. (1959) 51 Ca1.2d 640;:645; accor+d Peapte v, Davis
(1981) 29 Cal.3d 814, 828.) "In determining such intent, the court Rums first to the�nrords themseives
for the answer [citations] "(People v. Craft (1986) 41 Cal.3d 554, 560.) The wotds are to be yiven
"their ordinary and generally accepted meaning." (People v. -Castro (1985) 38 Ca1:3d 301, 310.)
Moreover, "legislation should be construed so as to harmonize its various :elernents without doing
violence to its language or spirit:" (Wells v. Marina City Properties, Inc. (1981) 29 Cai.3d 781, 788.)
"Wherever reasonable, interpretations which produce intemal harmony; avold redundancy.and accord
significance to every word and phrase are preferred." (Pacific Legal FoundaGon v: Unerapbyment Ins.
Appeals Bd. (1981) 29 Cal.3d 101, 174.) "Interpretive oonstructions which rendecsome words surplus,
defy common sense, or lead to mischief or absurdity, are to be avoided." (Califomia Mfrs. Assn. v.
Public U6lities Com. (1979) 24 Cal.3d 836, 844.)
1. Existing and Projected Housing Needs
The first question posed is whether the councii's determination of a locality's� share is to inclvde both
the existing and projected housing needs of the locality. We conclude that it dces.
Section 65584 directs a council to "determine the existing and projected housing need for its region."
The purpose of Such determination is to calculate and apportion shares of this need to all cities and
counties in the region. "Each locality's share shall be determined:by the council of
govemments." (§65584, subd. (a).) Two components thus comprise-the �egional:housfifg need; the
existing housing need and the projected housing need. When shares;of the regionel housiny:need are
apportiorred to the communities in the area, each share contains both components. No pro4ision of
the statute remotely suggests that one of the necessary components is to be omitted when
apportioning shares.
Such construction of section 65584 is supported by the language of section 65583. As previousiy
quoted, the latter statute requires that the housing element of a city or county contain "a quantification
of the locality's existing and projected housing needs for all income levels." It then provides' "These
existing and projected needs shall include the locality's share of the regional housing need in
accordance with Section 65584:' Hence the reference in section 65583 to "existing and projected
housing needs" in conjunction with "the locality's share of the regional housing need" clearly indicates
that the latter incorporates both components.
One of the purposes of the legislation goveming housing elements is "[t]o ensure that each local
govemment cooperates with other local govemments in order to address regional housing needs." (§
65581, subd. (d).) Regional housing needs include both ebsting and projected needs. (§ 65584, subd.
(a).) Both components are "addressed" by apportioning shares thereof to each community in the
region. By so construing section 65584, we give each of its provisions meaning and carry out the
apparent intent of the Legisiature.
In answer to the first question,
the regional housing needs by
housing needs of the locality.
2. Current Zoning Ordinances
therefore, we conciude that the determination of a locality's share of
a councii of governments must inGude both the existing and projected

The second question concerns whether in making its determinaGon of a locality's share of the regional .
housing needs, a council of governments is to consider the availability of suitable housing sites based
upon the existing zoning ordinances and land use restrictions of the locality or upon altemaGve zoning
ordinances and land use restrictions that would allow the potential for increased residendal
development. We conclude both existing and alternative zoning ordinances and land use restrlcdons
must be considered.
The council of govemments is directed to determine a loqlity's share of the regional housing needs
based upon the following criteria:
'The market demand for housing, employment opportunities, the availability of suitabie sites and
public facilities, commuting pattems, type and tenure of housir�g need, and: the honsing needs of
farmworkers [and the avoidance ofj further impaction of localities with:�elatively high proportions of
lower income households." (§ 65584, subd. (a).)
We find no indication in section 65584 that current zoning ordinances and land use restrictions are to
limit the factor of "the availability of suitable sites." A housing site would be unsuitabie based upon its
physical characteristics, not because of some govemmental control of an artificial and extemal nature.
The planning process of sections 65583 and 65584 contemplates an identification of-adequate sltes
that could be made availabie through different policies and develapment:sta�udards.:.
policies would be only one aspect of the "available data" upon which 3he factorof 'Yhe;�a��ilap�i � o
suitable sites" is to be considered under section 65584. To argue that this part of the genera� p�an is
required to conform to existing zoning practices would be anomalous and circultous, since section
65860 requires the zoning ordinances of a locality to be consistent with its generat plan. Subdivision
(d) of section 65584 emphasizes this fact by expressly providing that a local govemmenYs share of
the regional housing need is not subject to reduction, except in one narrow circumskance, by:
". .any ordinance, policy, or standard of a city, county, or city and county which directly limits, by
number, the building permits which may be issued for residential construction, or which limits for a set
period of time the number of buiidable lots which may be developed for residential purposes.^
Our construction of section 65584 is consistent with the goals of the statutory scheme as a whole (§§
655$0-65589.8) and the particular requirements specified for housing elements (§ 65583). The
legislation has as its primary purpose "to expand housing opportunities and ac�mmodate the
housing needs of Califomians of all economic levels" (§ 65580, subd. (b).) Cities and counties are
directed to "recognize their responsibilities in contributing to the attainment of the state housing goa� °
(§ 65580, subd. (a).) Each local govemment is "to cooperate with other local govemmehts and the
state in addressing regional housing needs." (§ 65580, subd. (e).) Aliowing a aty or county to prevent
being allocated a share of the regional housing needs through restricted zoning ordinances would be
contrary to the man'rfest intent of the Legislature.
The housing element of a local government must specifically include:
"An inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having
potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public faalities and
services to these sites." (§ 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
It is the "relationship" of current zoning ordinances that must be considered with respect to suitable
housing sites. No hint of limitation may be found in the use of tf►e term "relationship." Sedion 65583
also requires that a housing element inciude a five-year program that will:
APPENDICES
57
SLOCOG REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN '•
JULY 2002
"Identify adequate sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning and development
standards antl with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and encourage the development
of a variety of types of housing for all income levels. .."(§ 65583, subd. (c)(1).) '. &�
Such language unmistakably contemplates that zoning ordinances and land use restrictions'may
require modification during the five-year period to acxommodate a bcalitys projected housing needs.
Consistent with this interpretation is the requirement that the five-year prograrr�: -
°• �'
"Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove govemmental constraints fo the
maintenance, improvement, and development of housing."(§ 65583, subd. (c)(3).) �"-' ��
These "govemmental constraints" must be analyzed in detail in the housing element; the element
must contain:
"Analysis of potential and actual govemmental constraints upon the°maiotenance,�amprrnrement, or
development of housing for ali income levels, inGuding land use controls, building codes and'their
enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and locai
processing and permit procedures:" (§ 65583, subd. (a)(4).)
In sum, a local govemment must provide in its housing element for3he:existing and�proje¢ted housing
needs of all economic segments of the community. (§ 65583.)°:In doing so, it:is r8q�;.to identify
suitable housing sites. (§ 65583, subd. (a)(3).) The city or county must identify those sites "wh�ch will
be made available through appropriate zoning and development standards" during the ensuing`frve-
year period. (§65583, subd. (c)(1).) It must "undertake to implement the pol(c(es°and achieve the goa�s
and objectives of the housing element through the administration of land use and deaelopment
controls." (§ 65583, subd. (c).) The required consideration and evaluation of zoning changes
necessary to meet the identified needs of the community would be-preduded by albwfng e�dsting
zoning limitations to define what housing sites are "suitable."
A council of govemments thus would not be able to pertorm the task mandated for it without
consideration of land uses that are possible despite ewsting zoning restrictions. The "suitable sites"
factor to be considered by a councii pursuant to section 65584 must be read in conjunction w�th the
phrase "land suitable for residential development" of section 65583 that requires consideration of
zoning limitations but is not limited to lands presently zoned for such development.
In answer to the second question, therefore, we conclude that a council of govemments must
consider the availabifity of suitable housing sites based not only upon the ewsting zoning ordinances
and land use restrictions of the locality but also based upon the potential for increased residential
development under altemative zoning ordinances and land use restrictions when determining a
localitys share of the regional housing needs.
3. Calculation of Income Levels
The third question presented is whether a council of govemments is required to follow the regulations
(Cal. Admin. Code, tit. 25, §§ 6910-6932) of the Department defining income categories when
determining a locality's share of the regional housing needs. We conclude that it must:
Regulation 6926 states in part:
"'Very low income households' means persons and families whose gross incomes do not exceed the
qualifying limits for very low income families established and amended from time to time pursuant to
Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937. The q�alifying limits are set forth in Section 6932.
APPENDICES '
58
SLOCOG REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS PLAN JULY 2002
These limits are equivalent to 50 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size by the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development" (Cal. Admin. Code, tit. 25, § 6926, :
subd.(a).)
Regulation 6928 provides in part:
"'Lower income households' means persons and families whose gross incomes do not exceed the
qualifying limits for lower income families as established and amended from4ime:to time.pursuant to
Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 7937. The qualifyiag limits are set forth in Section 6932.
These limits are equivalent to 80 percent of the area median income, adjusted for family size and
other adjustment factors by the United States Department of Housing and llrban Development "(Cal.
Admin. Code, tit. 25, § 6928; subd. (a).)
Regulation 6930 states in part:
"'Moderate income households' means persons and families who are not'lower income households'
and whose gross incomes do not exceed 120 percent of the area median income adjusted for family
size in accordance with adjustment factors adopted by the United States Department of Housing and
Urban Development in estabiishing income limits for lower income farrNlies. Fw purposes of this
subchapter, the income limits are set forth in Section 6932." (CaI.;Admin: Code,.tit. 25, § 8930, subd.
(a)•)
50079.5 (lowe�ncame househods)y50093 hous ),Sand 5010
income households).
A council of governments must determine a locality's share of the regional housing needs "of persons
at all income levels within the area." (§ 65584, subd.(a).) Thls determinaGon is to;be."based upon data
provided by the Department." (Ibid.) tt is the Department that assesses the state housing needs upon
which the reyional housing needs are calculated. The Department is also required to revise any
determination of regional housing needs made by a council that is inconsistent with N�e state housing
needs. (Ibid.) The Department follows state law (Health & Saf. Code, §§ 50079.5, 50093, 50105; Cal.
Admin. Code, tit. 25, §§ 6910-6932) in categorizing income leveis for its calculations and the-data
provided to the councils. For a council to "base" its determinations upon the �epartmenYs data, we
believe that it is directed to use the income categories selected by the Department. No other
definitions of moderate income, lower income, or very low income may be found in state law
governing this issue.
We note also that the Legislature has specifically referred to "persons and families of low or moderate
income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code" when mandating the review and
revision of housing elements. (§ 65588, subd.(d).)
Requiring a council of governments to follow the income classifications established by the Legislature
and Department provides consistency between sections 65584 and 65588. Such interpretation of the
terms of section 65584 facilitates the administraHon of the state housing laws. Allowing each council
of govemments, on the other hand, to create its own income classificaBons would be impractical and
would defeat the purpose of ineeting the state housing needs in a consistent and effective manner.
Uniformity of classification allows the Iocai govemments "to cooperate with other local govemments
and the state in addressing regiona/ housing needs °(§ 65580, subd. (e).)
