1.3 Land Inventory The Housing Resource section is designed to identify, anayze, and evaluate the adequary of land, financial, and administrative resources necessary for the City to achieve its housing goals, including the RHNA currently being prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Identifying New Construction Goals In addressing the City's housing production need, the first step will involve determining the amount of new production reQuired. According to SCAG's draft RHNA, the City has been allocated a need for 3,364 new units between 2006 and 2014.Of this total, the allocation is divided into four income/affordability categories: 688 units affordable to very low income households • 569 units affordable to low income households • 6S9 units affordable to moderate income households • 1,448 units affordable to above moderate income households According to the City's 2006 Annual Progress Report on the Housing Element and development projects in the pipeline, it appears that the City already has sufficient capacity to completely address its above moderate income requirement. However, as is the case with most housing elements, the City will need to focus efforts on addressing the development capacity for very low, low, and moderate income units. Identifying Housing Sites The City of Santa Ana is not reQuired to produce the remaining units, but rather is responsible to demonstrate that the residential density and development standards on available housing sites are sufficient to facilitate the production of affordable housing, assuming that sufficient regulatory and financial incentives are available to developers. The HCD now requires a parcel level inventory, a thorough analysis of why housing sites are suitable to facilitate housing at different prices, and greater programmatic commitment to facilitate the development of sites. We will rely on the City's land inventory currently identified in the RFP for the identification of potential housing sites to address the RHNA. Our cost estimate does not include site -by -site fieldwork. However, as discussed later in this task, we will work with you to identify the most critical information needed for the land inventory so that it meets the requirements of new state law reQuiring a more parcel -specific focus. t'age 1-6 Proposal to City of Santa Ana
