Harbor Boulevard Mixed Use Transit Corridor Plan <br />Findings and Facts in Support of Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations <br />RHNA to the council. The council then assigns a share of the regional housing need to <br />each of its cities and counties. The process of assigning shares gives cities and counties <br />the opportunity to comment on the proposed allocations. The HCD oversees the process <br />to ensure that the council of governments distributes its share of the state's projected <br />housing need. The State of California Housing Element laws (Section 65580 to 65589 of <br />the California Government Code) require that each city and county identify and analyze <br />existing and projected housing needs within its jurisdiction and prepare goals, policies, <br />and programs to further the development, improvement, and preservation of housing for <br />all economic segments of the community, commensurate with local housing needs. <br />The City's recently adopted 2014 -2021 Housing Element addressed the RHNA carryover <br />balance of 201 lower income units from the last adopted housing element. These units <br />would be accommodated through land rezoned in the Harbor corridor Plan area <br />exclusively for residential development. <br />E. CONCLUSION <br />For the abovementioned reasons, implementation of the Harbor Corridor Plan would <br />have environmental, economic, and social benefits that outweigh the unavoidable <br />adverse environmental impacts of the project. The Harbor Corridor Plan would help <br />reach regional goals for land use, transportation, and economic stability; improve the <br />jobs -to- housing ratio; require more environmentally sustainable development; reduce <br />regional VMT; improve deficient infrastructure, and provide a guiding framework for <br />future development. <br />51 July 2014 <br />
