family home but we were unable to move forward with one
application and the other application was withdrawn by the
resident.

Monitoring and
Preservation of At‐Risk
Housing Units
• Regularly monitor deed‐restricted units
that have the potential of converting to

6th Cycle Completed
The City has 1,144 total housing units with affordability
covenants. Of these units, 75 very-low income are located at
1844 Park Avenue (Casa Bella Apartments) and were identified
as at-risk of converting to market rate during the 2021-2029
Housing Element planning period. The City has reached out to
the property management company (Moss Management
Services, Inc.) and confirmed that they hold an agreement with
the United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD), which renews every five-years, and
mandates restricting the units under an affordability covenant for
the life of the project. As these units are no longer at risk of
converting to market rate, this Housing Element program is
considered complete.

Planning Application Fees
Review planning application fees, with a
special focus on the density bonus fee,
and update the fee(s) to avoid creating a
constraint to the development of
affordable housing.
To be completed by
December 2024.6th Cycle In Progress
City staff are looking at modifying application fees for certain
development projects, while also reviewing the City's application
process and determining if certain project types can go through a
ministerial process, in-lieu of being processed through a
discretionary application. Thus, saving time and money for
development projects. This is being accomplished by code
amendments that were introduced to City Council on January 23,
2026 for the small lot ordinance requests for two-unit
developments in the multi-family zones with City Council
adoption February 3, 2026. Additionally, as part of the municipal
code amendments going before the Planning Commission on
February 9, 2026, for recommendation to City Council, new
application procedures are proposed for by-right housing
development projects on housing opportunity sites. It is
anticipated to go to the City Council for adopation on March 17,
2026. Citys staff will continue to review planning application fees
to determine if they are creating a constraint or barrier to the
development of affordable housing.

program to the development community
by posting information on its webpage and
creating a handout to be distributed with
land development applications regarding
development opportunities and incentives.
• Proactively reach out to developers at
least once annually to identify and
promote development opportunities.

Adequate Sites
• Maintain an inventory of vacant and
underutilized sites and provide this
inventory to interested developers.
• Monitor its status of meeting the
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA) annually and ensure that the City
has adequate sites available to
accommodate its RHNA. If the City’s
inventory of adequate sites falls below its
remaining RHNA, the City will take actions
to identify additional capacity to
accommodate the shortfall.
• Promote the development of housing,
live/work, and mixed‐use development on
the sites identified within the inventory
through actions such as:
- Make information on candidate housing
sites readily available through a database
available to the public.
- Priority processing for candidate
housing sites which provide the amount of
affordable housing units at the income
levels identified within the housing element
for individual candidate sites.
- If funding becomes available, the City
shall subsidize up to 100 percent of the
City’s application processing fees for
qualifying developments that provide the
amount of affordable housing units at the
income levels identified within the housing
element for individual candidate sites.
Publish candidate housing
sites on the City website by

priority processing for
candidate housing sites that
meet the outlined
requirements throughout the
planning period. Market
available funding, as
available, for projects on
candidate housing sites that
meet outlined requirements
6th Cycle Completed
The City's list of housing opportunity sites identified under the
2021-2029 Housing Element are available on the City's website.
The City has approved housing development projects on 2 of 97
Housing Opportunity Sites. As development projects are
processed on housing opportunity sites, the City continues to
make the required findings while monitoring the City's site
capacity for "No Net Loss." The City still has sufficient site
capacity during the reporting period. These projects include a
senior living development at 695 19th St and a Single Room
Occupancy motel conversion at 2205 Harbor Blvd. The City is
also working on launching an interactive map that shows
development activities in the City which is anticipated to include
information for the locations of the housing opportunity sites that
ties directly into the City Land Management Software, TESSA.

Fairview Development
Center – State Property
• Partner with the State to pursue
compatible development on the Fairview
Development Center site.
• Complete rezoning at Fairview
Developmental Center within three years
of an agreement with the State of
California. Development at the site will be
subject to the City’s Inclusionary Housing
Ordinance or equivalent affordability
requirements and will be subject to
development process incentives such as
expedited processing including a
dedicated staff project manager to
promote future projects within the Fairview
Developmental Center property to include
affordable housing.
• If building permits/entitlements are not
issued by mid‐2027, the City will identify
additional alternative sites within the City
that can accommodate a potential shortfall
in housing sites to accommodate the
remaining RHNA within 180 days of
determination of a shortfall of adequate
sites as required by SB 166 (No Net Loss).
• The City will coordinate land use and
zoning efforts concurrent with the city‐wide
rezoning efforts to implement the housing
element. Fairview Developmental Center
will go through an RFP process within the
next three years to plan to for the
development of up to 2,300 residential
Negotiate agreement to
develop housing at the
Fairview Developmental
Center site by Winter 2025,
or as modified by the State.
If unsuccessful, identify
additional sites to

6th Cycle In Progress
The City began the process to develop a specific plan and
associated environmental documents for the re-use of the
Fairview Development site as affordable and market rate housing
(at least 2,300 units) in 2022 when the City and State entered
into an agreement and received grant funds. In 2025, the State
extended the contract term to end on December 31, 2026. The
City retained the professional services of Placeworks and
initiated the Fairview Developmental Center (FDC) Specific Plan
project in 2023. The current phase of the project generally
includes the preparation of a specific plan and associated
environmental review for the re-use of the site with a range of
affordable and market rate housing. Technical studies have been
completed and the City continues to hold bi-weekly coordination
meetings with the State Department of General Services (DGS)
and Department of Development Services (DDS). Staff and
Placeworks have coordinated and hosted 18 community
outreach events on the visioning and land use framework, as
well as land use concepts, mobility, and urban design in 2023
and 2024. City Council provided a recommendation on the
preferred plan for environmental study purposes for the Specific
Plan on October 21, 2025. Following the hearing, staff issued a
Notice of Preparation and held a scoping meeting on November
17th, 2025. Staff and Placeworks have begun the preparation of
the specific plan and environmental review. More information on
this process can be found on the project webpage.

across all income levels are identified to
meet the City’s shortfall in units. As noted
in the program, development capacity is
