Promote housing that serves the community. Allow for micro -units. Allow bonus units or reduced parking if parking programs & amenities are added. Allow a process for density transfer. Protect intact neighborhoods and allow for transitions between densities. Offer a streamlined process that encourages investment. Downtown Specific Plan Amendment Goals and Objectives Economic Investment Objectives • Encourage investment in downtown, provide value & encourage partnerships between land owners, developers, businesses & residents • Coordinate with the Navy, colleges & other institutions to create a more vibrant downtown by encouraging more persons to live & shop in downtown • Adjust zoning, land uses and development regulations to increase opportunities for the redevelopment parcels as well as other downtown parcels • The Plan will not change: o Land use / zoning o Street classifications o Floor Area Ratio maximums or minimums (FAR) o Density related to 5,500 units (300 built since plan adopted) • The Plan proposes to change: o Defines height restrictions to be more consistent with FAR o Redefine "ground -floor retail" as "street activating uses" o Suggest an adaptive reuse policy for "main street style" buildings o Propose a transfer of development rights in certain circumstances o Establish 5 proposed design districts and supporting guidelines o Improve review process to include ministerial review options o Suggest various intersection and streetscape enhancements o Plan for a shuttle system, expanded bike and pedestrian options o Implements Parking Action Plan for downtown area o Considers methods for attainable housing / affordable by design o Allows Institutional (schools) uses with Conditional Use Permit 7S SS Attainable Housing Numerous bills have passed in 2017 to promote the development of attainable housing in California: SB-2: The Building Homes and Jobs Act creates funding by imposing up to a $225 on certain real estate transactions. Over the next five years it is anticipated to raise a total of $5.8 billion. These funds will support homelessness programs and create mixed -income multifamily housing. SB-3: This bill would authorize $4 billion in bonds to finance existing housing programs. This bill would authorize $3 billion in bonds for the construction of new low-income housing and $1 billion to the Gal -Vet Farm and Home Loan Program. SB-35: Eliminates multiple local planning reviews for projects that meet certain zoning and affordability standards in jurisdictions with lagging housing production rates. The bill also requires qualifying projects to meet prevailing wage standards for construction workers. AB-73: Provides local governments with incentives to rezone developments to increase housing density near transit and job centers. At least 20 percent of the housing projects must be low- or middle -income residents. If zoning standards are met, permits will be granted without delay. AB-1505: Restores the ability of local governments to require developers to include affordable rental units, after an appellate court decision cut off that tool in 2009. AB-1521: Owners must accept a qualified offer to purchase the apartment complex from someone who pledges to continue renting the home to low-income residents. Attainable Housing AB-571: This bill would authorize the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee to allocate the farmworker housing credit even if the taxpayer receives federal credits. Farmworker housing is redefined as housing in which at least 50 percent of the units are occupied by farmworkers. AB-1397: This bill would require the inventory of land to be available for residential development to meet the locality's housing need for a designated income level. SB-166: Pushes cities and counties to plan for their share of low-income and moderate -income housing needed in the region. AB-879: This bill instructs cities to determine how long it takes developers to build their projects after they have been approved and then take steps to shorten that time. SB-167: Cities that do not comply with a court order to allow development will accrue fines of $10,000 per housing unit. AB-678: The Housing Accountability Act prohibits a local agency from disapproving, or conditioning approval a housing development project for very low, low, or moderate -income, or an emergency shelter unless specified written findings based upon substantial evidence in the record are made. AB-1515: This bill would specify that a housing development project or emergency shelter is deemed consistent with an applicable plan, program, policy, etc. similar if there is substantial evidence that would allow to conclude that the housing development project is consistent. AB-72: Gives the State housing department more authority to investigate cities that do not follow their housing plans and refers cases to California's attorney general for possible legal action. STAFF WILL RETURN TO CITY COUNCIL IN NEXT 6 MONTHS WITH PROPOSED HOUSING POLICIES THAT ADDRESS AFFORDABILITY AND CONSISTENCY WITH STATE LAWS .and • Use * The plan will continue to focus on encouraging a variety of land uses: o Mixed uses help to encourage more Local services, jobs and places of business and allows the market to decide best use. o This amendment continues to allow for all previously allowed uses o The form of the buildings and FARs are more important than dictating the preferred land uses or percentages of mixed uses. Downtown Specific Plan Amendment Goals and Objectives Land Use and Urban Design Objectives • Update land use and zoning to better accommodate the previously adopted allowance of 5,200 additional residential units • Adopt a process for density transfer if public amenities or unique buildings are reused • Create consistency with state laws density bonus applied to transit areas and ministerial processing requirements Existing Land Uses Existing/Proposed Development Zones Existing Land Use (SanGiS) 01N $T C1vsc CENTER OR c Existing Lond Use (San615) NM Parking Lot light Industry - General 1♦ Public Services lent St sr i — - z uG C.TVO3ONST 1ST ST School Single Family Detached Single Forney Multiple-UNis PIM Multi -Family Residential Cammerc oiIOfnce .

State affordable housing & companion unit legislation requires a ministerial process. 2) Offer efficient processing & CEQA review. - Makes housing attainable & affordable by design. - Attracts investment & delivery of needed housing - State legislation allows for streamlined CEQA for infill projects in transit supported areas. 3) Protect neighborhood from impacts. - Need parking management and enforcement. - Require traffic analysis when exceeding standards. Establish transition zones near single family areas. - Institute design guidelines and review process. 7 Action Item Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Ordinance amending the Downtown Specific Plan based on updated draft with Planning Commission recommendations. z .4=10
