Scope of Work Our scope of work is structured in accordance with the required elements in HCD's Building Blocks website, state law, and HCD review guidelines. This work scope has six tasks: 1) housing technical report update; 2) public participation; 3) housing element preparation; 4) AB 126 Compliance, 5) CEOA compliance, and 6) project management. TASK 1. HOUSING TECHNICAL REPORT UPDATE Task 1 involves updating portions of the technical report to reflect recent data and legislative updates. This report contains an assessment of housing needs, constraints analysis, land inventory, and evaluation of program accomplishments. It supports the housing element, which includes the goals, policies, and programs that will be implemented. The scope of work assumes that the rezones in the 2oo8-2014 Housing Element will be completed and no carryover RHNA will be necessary. 1.1 Housing Needs Assessment This section describes the demographic, housing, neighborhood, and special- need characteristics in Santa Ana. More than simply a recitation of numbers, the assessment is an insightful analysis that allows the City to determine housing priorities and programs for the community. The housing needs assessment also includes economic characteristics and affordable units at risk of conversion to market rates. Resources for data updates include the SCAG RHNA Methodology Appendices; the 2010 U.S. Census; Department of Finance; DataOuick; and the City's most recent CAPER, Consolidated Plan, Consolidated Annual Action Plan, and any annual reports submitted to HCD. City staff will update all facts and figures within Appendix A (Housing Needs). This includes figures in tables and text, as well as necessary changes in the accompanying narrative. The City will also draft a new compressed version of Section 2 (Planning Context) in the Framework. We will review the City's edits and update charts and graphs as required. 1.2 Analysis of Potential Constraints This will be a technical update to ensure that the constraints analysis includes the latest data on market factors and City codes, permit processing and fees. The constraints analysis will also described efforts undertaken during the prior housing element planning period to remove constraints. If actual governmental constraints to the production of housing in Santa Ana are identified, the constraints analysis will also described City efforts to remove or mitigate these constraints. City staff will revise the status of constraints listed Appendix B (Housing Constraints). This includes figures in tables and text, as well as any necessary changes in the accompanying narrative. We will review the City's updates and revise as necessary. EXHIBIT A THE PLANNING CENTER I DC&E - PROPOSAL: CITY OF SANTA ANA 2014-2021 HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE 25A-14
