1.3 Land Inventory Santa Ana received a RHNA allocation of 204 units for the 2014-2021 housing element. We will review the existing land inventory and work with City staff to remove any sites that have been developed, rezoned for nonresidential use, or otherwise altered to no longer be usable in the housing element. If the Harbor Corridor Plan rezonings take place too late in 2013 to be counted for development potential during the 2008-2014 planning period, the City will be subject to a carryover of up to 987 lower income units. In the event of a carryover RHNA, we will meet the combined lower income RHNA through development potential in the Harbor Corridor Plan and possibly a small portion of the Metro East Overlay. Based on housing construction and permitting information provided by the City, we will update the maps, tables, figures, and narrative within Appendix C (Housing Resources). We agree with City staff's position that these portions of the Element should only change to the degree necessary. Some emphasis will be removed from housing sites in the downtown (formerly Renaissance Specific Plan) and on the First and Fifth Street transit corridors. City staff will draft a compressed version of Section 3 (Housing Resources) in the Framework. We will review the City's edits and revise as necessary. 1.4 Housing Plan Preparation of the housing plan will require a housing program evaluation to document the City's progress in implementing the adopted housing element programs. Annual reports to HCD and staff input are the key resources for this evaluation. We will synthesize the information we have into a policy and program matrix for staff to complete. City staff shall consolidate their edits into a single matrix to avoid duplicative or inconsistent direction or edits. Information provided in this matrix will allow the consultant team to identify policy and program problem areas. Legislative updates and input from the public, stakeholders, City staff, and appointed and elected officials will also influence revisions to the goals, policies, and programs. The dissolution of the redevelopment agency will affect program funding, so we anticipate that a program or programs related to applying for and obtaining alternate financial resources will be an important feature in the 5th cycle. Deliverable(s): - Policy and Program Evaluation Matrix Working Document 1.4.1 Optional Health and Wellness Focus We will identify programs and policies related to health and wellness to complement and integrate with the update of the circulation Element and the new plan for Harbor Boulevard. This effort is not intended to recast the housing element, but rather provide a meaningful way to integrate health and air quality benefits into the housing policy framework. 25A-15
