Action: Continued to Housing Commission Meeting of January 10, 2001 as attorneys are still reviewing the document. D. HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Rec: By Minute Motion: Review and forward recommendation to the City Council to proceed with the updating of the Housing Element Action: It was moved by L. Saindon and seconded by L. Ward to forward recommendation to the City Council to proceed with the updating of the Housing Element Nicole Criste of Terranova the City's consultant on the General Plan Amendment and the Housing Element update presented their draft document stating that the City's housing element is about 10 years old. The Housing Element needs to be updated, by law, every five years except when the state does not fund the update which is what happened over the last decade. The process was finally funded in 1998, therefore, we are mandated to update our General Plan and Housing Element. The Housing Element is one of seven mandated elements which needs to be included by state law in the General Plan. Nicole reviewed the contents of the draft Housing Element with the Commission and asked for input and comments. Public hearings will be held during the process to receive public input. The City Council will ultimately review and adopt the General Plan and Housing Element. The process will take approximately 18 months. Nicole reviewed the requirements of the update. A requirement of the update is to review the previous activity of the current Housing Element to see how well the City implemented its previous goals, policies and programs. The City is also required to include inventories for both existing units and for available land to demonstrate that there is sufficient land to develop 4 Minutes Dec. 13, 2000 ErQTggl G, eOIa ISS ON NEW BUSINESS units for the planning period as well as units at risk. An analysis of (CONTD) units at risk are defined as units that may lose their affordability restrictions within a period of 10 years. A review of the at risk units was done. Special needs housing will also be addressed and discussed in the Housing Element. Housing constraints will be identified and discussed in the document. The only data currently available is the 1990 census, therefore, the information used to create the update will be 10 years old. We are also required to provide updated goals, policies and programs (the last section of the Housing Element). Current data has been used wherever possible. The City's rate of growth since 1990 was 6%. This indicates a very steady rate of growth in the city. A large part of that growth was a result of annexations. In 1990 median income was $37,300 which is slightly higher than the Countywide median income at that time which was $36,000. In 1990, based on census data, there were 18,000 housing units. A vast majority of those units, just over 12,000 units,were single family units, attached and detached, which is a distinction which is made in all of the census numbers. This year we have increased our housing inventory by 10,000 units. We are up to 28,000 units, 21,000 of those units are single family and the single family detached number has grown the most. Our housing units are relatively new. One has to analyze in the Housing Element old housing units, older than 30 years, because those become more expensive to maintain and have more deferred maintenance. A 30 year old home would be a unit built before 1970. We have a relatively small percentage of units which are older. The largest growth spurt was between 1970 and 1985. Nearly 15% of the housing stock dates from that time period. Our new construction need for the five year plan period which is from 1998 to 2005 per the RHNA are 444 new units. There is clearly enough acreage to provide for the future housing needs for the next five years. One of the special housing needs which we are required to look at, based on census data, is overcrowding. This, also, unfortunately is only a number which is available from 1990 census numbers. It is difficult to judge whether or not that number is going to be similar in the 2000 census. The state defines an overcrowded unit as a unit in which 1.01 person per room occurs. In 1990 we had a total of 466 households which were overcrowded. This represents about 7.8% of the occupied housing units at the time. Of these overcrowded households, the vast majority were renter-occupied units. 352 were 5 Minutes Dec. 13, 2000 ITO`t SIN T C07OWISS1O�N° NEW BUSINESS renter-occupied units and 114 were owner-occupied units which is (CONTD) typical. The Housing Element is a tool used by the State to make sure that the City does not impede the development of housing and to facilitate the development of housing at all income levels. Over the years, the Housing Element has been interpreted more and more as an affordable housing tool. The production of moderate and high income housing units are provided for by the market as a rule. L. Sullivan inquired if the RHNA production affected the housing required by the Stipulation. Terre stated that when the Agency is done building what is required by the Stipulation, then the RHNA production requirement needs to be met. Ms. Criste said that the City has multiple ways of facilitating the housing. The Agency can use set-aside funds to build units, purchase units, purchase land and write it down for a developer and the developer can build a private project with recorded 30-year affordability covenants. Ms. Criste discussed with the Commission the goals and policies set forth in the draft. The programs deal specifically with different types of housing, rehabilitation, the creation of new units and the preservation of existing units. These are the three areas that the City is mandated to focus on. The commission reviewed past, current and proposed future housing projects. There was discussion on the effects of the Stipulation on the Housing Element. E. GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT COMMITTEE Rec: By Minute Motion: Recommend a member of the Housing Commission to serve as a member of the General Plan Amendment Committee Action: It was moved by L. Sullivan and seconded by C. McLeod to recommend Larry Saindon to serve as a member of the General Plan Amendment Committee 6 Minutes Dec. 13, 2000 EGUS1NG CQBIBTISS 0N5 CONTINUED A. 40 ACRE SITE DEVELOPMENT - UPDATE BUSINESS Terre said that the attorneys have prepared the Disposition Development Agreement (DDA)which has gone to the developer and to Risk Management for their input. Once all deal points are agreed upon and incorporated, the DDA will be scheduled for action by Housing Commission and forwarded to the Redevelopment Agency at a future meeting. REPORTS A. PALM VILLAGE APARTMENTS UPDATE (TERRE) - ASBESTOS REMOVAL (CHARLENE) Charlene said that the asbestos removal has been completed. R. Dash inquired about the number of units allowed by zone on the Agency-owned lots. Bryce said that 16 units would be the minimum, however, a density bonus can be applied for to the planning department and the City Council. Therefore, the figure can go up to as high as 24 units. C. McLeod asked about the owner of the adjacent property. Terre said that the owner of the adjacent property, under California Redevelopment Law, owner participation section, will be submitting a proposal to develop his site. Staff will review the proposal and forward to the Commission for review at a later meeting. B. HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE (BRYCE) - MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY EVENT — DECEMBER, 2000 — UPDATE An update on the Home Improvement Program was distributed to the Commission. Bryce provided the commission with a supplemental memorandum about a small Make a Difference Day which will be held on Saturday, January 27. Volunteers will be utilized from the Palm Desert High School Interact Club which is affiliated with the local Rotary Club to paint a home for a senior handicapped individual. 7 Minutes Dec. 13, 2000 EtDT7 1NG coNEREISrS',1 N' REPORTS Bryce said that a nice article came out in the City's Brightside (CONTD) Newsletter. A great response has been received and about 30 applications have been sent out. At the present time there are 10 to 15 properties that are in the process of getting work done and receiving bids. Bryce said that most of the contractors contacted are busy and if the commission knew of any contractors who would be interested in doing work, please let him know. The contractors need to be licensed and must comply with other restrictions to work in the city. Terre informed the commission that the Housing Division was recently assigned the Commercial Facade Improvement Program. Bryce said that the Facade Improvement Program is designed to provide matching funds to commercial property owners who want to improve their commercial property up to $25,000. He will be looking at ways to streamline the process. C. HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES 1. ONE QUAIL PLACE - REPAIR AND RESURFACING OF PARKING LOTS - UPDATE (CHARLENE) Charlene said that she met with the engineer to discuss the design. An updated version of the design will be submitted to staff by Friday. Two designs will be presented to the Commission at the next meeting. One design will be at the higher end on price and the other will be at economy pricing. LANDSCAPE RETROFIT UPDATE Charlene said that at the last Housing Commission Meeting the bid proposal was discussed. She recommended that the bid be rejected due to the contractor's lack of experience. The request for rejection of bid will be presented to the Housing Authority at their meeting of December 14, 2000. Charlene said that she has contacted eight landscape companies who have expressed interest in bidding the project. 8 Minutes Dec. 13, 2000 EGUSZNG COMNIsJ+'S10)1V REPORTS 2. PALM DESERT HOUSING AUTHORITY PROPERTIES (CONTD) AFFORDABLE PROGRAM (TERRY PARKER) A copy of the Palm Desert Housing Authority Properties Affordable Program was distributed to the Commission. 3. REVISITING OF SITES - DISCUSSION (TERRE) Terre said that the Council would like to revisit the sites after the first of the year to see the improvements which have been made at the Housing Authority Properties. D. DESERT ROSE UPDATE (TERRE) At this time there are no available homes for sale. C. McLeod inquired about the Rebecca Road home which remains to be sold. Terre said that the home is still for sale and the agent is continuing to show the property to prospective buyers. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by L. Sullivan and seconded by L.

All prior year comments have been addressed by RPM Company. Our auditors have also issued an internal control management letter for the Palm Desert Housing Authority for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The following are the City's solutions to the management letter issued by the auditors regarding the internal controls of RPM Company. 4Ir Reconciliation of Prepaid Rents Our staff will conduct reviews to ensure that RPM Company has implemented the auditor's recommendation. Rent Charges Our staff will be randomly testing tenant files to assure that RPM is charging the correct rents to the tenants. Respectfully submitted, Reviewed and Concur: a#4.41/frj .../ Paul S.

Our study and evaluation was more limited than would be necessary to express an opinion on the system of internal accounting control taken as a whole and we do not express such an opinion. The management of Palm Desert Housing Authority (RPM Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgements by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of a system are to provide management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly. During our audit, we noted other matters involving the internal control structure and its operation that we wish to call to your attention. These matters are set forth below with our recommendations for improvement. Reconciliation of Prepaid Rents Auditor Comment and Recommendation: During our testing of prepaid rent accounts we noted that monthly reconciliations of these accounts were not consistently performed by the resident managers. As a result, several of the account balances selected in our testing were incorrectly stated. We recommend that these reconciliations be prepared before monthly tenant reports are finalized. Management Response: An on-site manager is required, before the close of the accounting month, to run a prepaid report and reconcile all balances. We have implemented an addition to our internal audit procedures to audit and verify the completeness of the monthly reconciliation by the manager before monthly reports are finalized. 1 During our testing of tenant recertifications, we noted that in 13 out of 75 or 17.3% of the tenants files tested on the Palm Desert Affordable Housing Program, the monthly rent charged was incorrectly computed. We recommend that RPM follow their internal policies and procedures in calculating tenant rents. Management Response: Our staff has been trained to determine the affordable level of the resident upon re-certification. The staff is required to forward all re-certifications to their manager. The manager is required to sign off on each file, to verify the calculation of income, and the corresponding rental rates for accuracy. RPM's internal audit also includes random checks to verify the calculation and rental rates, which is conducted by the regional property supervisor. Files noted were missed by our internal procedures and have since been corrected. We will assure in the future that all re- certifications are computed correctly. These matters were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of the audit tests to be applied in our audit of the Palm Desert Housing Authority's Financial Statements. This report is intended for the information and use of the Palm Desert Housing Authority and management. However, this report, upon acceptance by the Agency, is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited.

Background: The Agency purchased 73-610 Santa Rosa Way, a dilapidated and functionally obsoletel2-unit multi-family property in October 1999. The purpose for acquisition was to remove the blighted condition that currently exists either through rehabilitation or new construction. After researching all possible alternatives, Staff concluded that it would be better to redesign the entire site with a new project that would make better use of the site and allow us to add additional units in order to maximize the site. On October 12, 2000, the Redevelopment Agency authorized staff to proceed with the demolition of Palm Village Apartments. Staff has estimated the approximate cost of the demolition to be an amount not-to-exceed $65,000.00. Funds are available in the Housing Authority's unobligated fund balance. Staff recommends the following time line: Bid documents available 12/15/00 Advertise in newspaper of local circulation 12/21/00 & 12/26/00 Close of bids 1/09/01 Award of bids 1/25/01 Begin Demolition 2/09/01 Redevelopment Agency Meeting of December 14, 2000 RE: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE AND CALL FOR BIDS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF PALM VILLAGE APARTMENTS Page 2 REVIEWED AND CONCUR ce n hite Rehabs station Construction Specialist II ousing anager BLW:dcl Executive Director AJjrj Finance Director PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY STAFF REPORT DATE: DECEMBER 14, 2000 TO: CITY MANAGER, HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: BRYCE LYNN WHITE, REHAB. CONST. SPECIALIST II SUBJECT: HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - INCLUSION OF DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council, by minute motion, include owner-occupied duplex residential properties as eligible properties in addition to currently eligible owner-occupied single- family residential properties under the Home Improvement Program as part of Component 1:Emergency Grant Program, Component 2: Rehabilitation Grant Program, Component 3: Matching Fund Program and Components 4A, 4B, 4C: Rehabilitation Loan Programs. BACKGROUND: The Revised and Expanded Home Improvement Program (HIP)guidelines were approved by the Palm Desert City Council by minute motion on August 24, 2000. The program allows for improvements to single family owner occupied homes which would "improve the appearance of the dwelling and property from a public street." In addition, improvements are allowed for making corrections to health and safety code violations thereby making a home decent, safe and sanitary. Staff feels that inclusion of duplex properties whose owner's qualify under the income standards of the Home Improvement Program will more adequately address the stated purpose of the Home Improvement Program which are as follows: A. To specifically identify and address the housing needs of our community pursuant to California Redevelopment Law (Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et seq.) and policy 5.2 of the Redevelopment City's Housing Compliance Program for very low and low income families within our community. B. To improve and stabilize the quality of life for neighborhoods and residents. C. To instill a sense of community among the residents. CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 14, 2000 HOME IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM - INCLUSION OF DUPLEX RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES Page 2 The Housing Commission will review and discuss this request at the next regularly scheduled meeting of December 13, 2000 and their recommendation will be presented at the Council meeting.

In order to achieve the ultimate goal of ensuring that every Palm Desert resident secures a safe and decent place to live within a satisfactory environment, the Housing Element promotes a close coordination of housing policies and programs at local, state and federal levels. BACKGROUND The Housing Element functions as an integral part of the City's efforts to manage the development of incorporated lands. The City balances the need to assure adequate housing for all current and future residents against the need to provide infrastructure and services. The Housing Element includes a description of existing housing types, condition of existing units, overcrowding, overpayment, homelessness, and the demand for affordable housing in the City. The Element also includes an analysis of the progress made since the drafting of the last Housing Element, and projections of needs for the next five years. California Law California Government Code requires that every City and County prepare a Housing Element as part of its General Plan. In addition, State law contains specific requirements for the preparation and content of Housing Elements. According to Article 10.6, Section 65580, the Legislature has found that: (1) The availability of housing is of vital statewide importance, and the early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family is a priority of the highest order. (2) The early attainment of this goal requires the cooperative participation of government and the private sector in an effort to expand housing opportunities and accommodate the housing needs of Californians of all economic levels. (3) The provision of housing affordable to low and moderate income households requires the cooperation of all levels of government. (4) Local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. (5) The legislature recognizes that in carrying out this responsibility, each local government also has the responsibility to consider economic, environmental, and fiscal factors and community goals set forth in the General Plan and to cooperate with other local governments, and the state,in addressing regional housing needs. Section 65581 of the Government Code states that the intent of the Legislature in enacting these requirements is: (1) To assure that local governments recognize their responsibilities in contributing to the attainment of the State housing goal. (2) To assure that cities and counties prepare and implement housing elements which, along with federal and State programs, will move toward attainment of the State housing goal. (3) To recognize that each locality is best capable of determining what efforts are required by it to contribute to the attainment of the State housing goal as well as regional housing needs. (4) To ensure that each local government cooperates with other local governments to address regional housing needs. 1 ,, TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element . Government Code Section 65583 outlines the required content of all housing elements including identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs, and a statement of goals, .. policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing. Specific requirements include the following: (1) An assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to the meeting of these needs. The analysis should include population and employment trends; documentation of household characteristics; inventory of land suitable for residential development; governmental and other constraints to new housing development; analysis of any special housing needs and an assessment of existing affordable housing developments. (2) A program which sets forth a five-year schedule of actions the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the objectives of the housing element in order to meet the housing needs of all economic segments of the community. Evaluation of Existing Housing Element Goals and Policies The last Housing Element Update was adopted by the City Council in December of 1989, and certified by the Department of Housing and Community Development as meeting the requirements of the law. The last Housing Element presented a"Five Year Program Summary" which specified the programs in which the City would participate during that planning period. The Summary is presented below, and each Program's effectiveness is discussed. I. Neighborhood Quality, Public Infrastructure Rehabilitation and Conservation A. PROGRAM: Completion of all remaining residential infrastructure. Scope: 2,373 units Cost: $15,000,000 Source: Redevelopment Agency,Tax Assessments Agency: Redevelopment Agency/Public Works Completion Date: July, 1989 The City issued bonds to fund the construction of streets, storm drainage and sanitary sewer improvements in 1988. The bond issue successfully completed the program. Further activity is not necessary. B. PROGRAM: Residential Rehabilitation Loans. Scope: 200 units Cost: $250,000 Source: Redevelopment Agency Agency: Redevelopment Agency/Building and Safety The Redevelopment Agency has assisted 28 very low income households and 18 low income households. The program has been successful, and continues to be implemented. It should be maintained in the new planning period. In addition, City staff has found that there is a need for rehabilitation funds being applied to multi family projects. Such a program should be considered in the new planning period. C. PROGRAM: Certificate of Conformance Scope: Estimate 100 units Cost: None Agency: Community Development/Building& Safety The program was successfully implemented. It shall remain in the City's Municipal Code as an option available for future use. I 2 • TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element • D. PROGRAM: Town Center Apartments. Scope: Rehabilitation of 64 low income apartments �i.. Cost: $2,500,000.00 Agency: Redevelopment Agency, Department of Building and Safety, Riverside County Housing Authority The project, now known as Desert Pointe, has been purchased by the Redevelopment Agency, and is assured of affordability in perpetuity. E. PROGRAM: Mobile Home Park Conservation. Scope: 191 units Cost: $6,400,000.00 Agency: Redevelopment Agency, Riverside County Housing Authority The Agency assisted 47 residents in purchasing their spaces at the Portola Palms Mobile Home Park, and has thereby ensured their affordability. The affordability restrictions are for 30 years. The Indian Springs park was not purchased as planned. In addition, the City implemented a Rent Control Ordinance for mobile home parks, and continues to maintain this ordinance at this time. The protection of rents at mobile home parks is an important component of their on-going affordability. The on-going preservation of mobile home spaces will continue to be implemented through the City's Redevelopment Agency, as projects become available. II. Reduced Cost and Price for New Construction A. PROGRAM: Affordable High Density Rental Employee Housing. Scope: 366 very low income units 366 low income units 366 moderate income units 1,100 Total Units Cost: Construction$60,000,000 Annual subsidy: $2,480,000.00 Source: Redevelopment Agency, Riverside County Housing Authority, Commercial Development Housing Mitigation Fees Agency: Community Services, Redevelopment Agency, Public Works,Building and Safety, Riverside County Housing Authority. The Agency has purchased and/or rehabilitated 745 rental units during the previous planning period. These units were in multiple projects, and were funded through Agency funds, bond issues, and other means. The Agency continues to look at projects for purchase in the new planning period. B. PROGRAM: Ownership Mortgage Assistance. Scope: 56 units eligible for low interest loans. Cost: $5,000,000 Source: Riverside County Agency: Riverside County The County First Time Homebuyers Program continues to be accessible to residents of Palm Desert.

Scope: 12 assisted single family homes Cost: $320,000 sr Source: Redevelopment Agency, California Self-Help Housing Program, HCD, California Housing Finance Agency. 3 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element Agency: Coachella Valley Housing Coalition, Redevelopment Agency, Department of Building and Safety. The City assisted in the development of 12 single family self-help homes, located in various neighborhoods throughout the City. The project was successful, and should be maintained for the new planning period. D. PROGRAM: Manufactured Housing. Scope: 241 units within new parks and implementation of state laws against discrimination within single family zones. Cost: None Agency: Community Development The Portola Country Club project includes a total of 499 manufactured housing units available for sale to senior households. The City has also implemented state law regarding non-discrimination. The continued implementation of manufactured housing options appears to have limited value at this time, due to the affordable cost of construction for traditional housing. The City issued bonds to fund the construction of the Desert Rose project, which provides ownership housing for 161 low and moderate income households. E.. PROGRAM: Senior Housing Overlay. Scope: 600 congregate care units 50 very low income apartments 100 lower income apartments 150 moderate income apartments Cost: $1,000,000 Source: Private developer inclusionary requirements and in-lieu fees.. Agency: Community Development. 469 congregate care beds were constructed during the previous planning period. No new restricted apartments were constructed by private parties. The Agency has acquired, however, the Las Serenas, Pueblos and Catalina Gardens apartments for senior households in the low and very low income categories. The senior overlay has been implemented, and should be maintained in the new planning period. F. PROGRAM: Senior Second Unit. Scope: Zoning standards permitting second units on single family lots rentable to residents over 60 years of age. Cost: None Agency:Community Development. The City implemented the zoning ordinance standards. The standard should be maintained in the new planning period, as it provides for affordable housing for senior households. G. PROGRAM: Homelessness. Scope: Financial assistance to valley shelter Cost: $10,000 Agency: Riverside County Housing Authority/Catholic Charities. The City funded $15,000 annually until 1998 ($5,000 for the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, and $10,000 for Catholic Charities). The City is now considering the use of Community Development Block Grant funds for these projects. H. PROGRAM: Federal Section 8 Rent Subsidies. Scope: 58 assisted households 4 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element Cost: unknown Agency:U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. There are currently 50 Section 8 households in the City. The program should be maintained, as it provides valuable assistance to lower income households. 5 TN/City of Palm Desert , General Plan/Housing Element DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION In order to understand the housing needs of the residents of Palm Desert, it is important to first look at the make up of the community and its demographics. REGIONAL SETTING This section of the Housing Element contains relevant demographic, household, and socio- economic data. This information is primarily based on data provided in the 1990 U.S. Census of Population and Housing, the California Department of Finance and the City of Palm Desert. The City of Palm Desert is located in the Coachella Valley, in eastern Riverside County. The County experienced extremely rapid growth in the 1980's. County population grew from 663,923 in 1980 to 1,110,000 in 1990, an increase of 67%. The California Department of Finance further estimates that population in the County rose to 1,473,307 in 1999. Historic and Current City Population The U. S. Census estimated a population of 23,252 in Palm Desert in 1990. The population was further estimated at 38,766 in 2000, representing an average annual increase of just under 6%. Population by Age Group and Ethnicity Table 1 presents the number of persons in various age ranges and the percent of total population for each group. In 1990, the City's median age was 42.3 years, representative of the high number of retired persons who have been attracted to the Coachella Valley.

For this reason, some Hispanics choose to list themselves under the classification for other races. Source: 1990 Census of Population and Housing More recent analysis shows that although the City remains predominantly caucasian, there has been an increase in minority population, as shown in Table 3,below. This is representative of the trend throughout Southern California.

Overcrowding is one of the specifically identified issues that must be addressed in the Housing Element. High rents and home prices in some communities limit low income persons from obtaining homes with adequate space or bedrooms. The following Table represents the range of persons per room in the City's housing units in 1990. 12 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element Table 12 • Overcrowding, 1990 "r,.• Persons/Room No. of HH Owner-Occupied Units 0.50 or less 5,635 0.51 to 1.00 1,021 1.01 to 1.50 75 1.51 to 2.00 26 2.01 or more 13 Renter-Occupied Units 0.50 or less 2,427 0.51 to 1.00 1,046 1.01 to 1.50 177 1.51 to 2.00 97 2.01 or more 78 Source: 1990 Census Based on this data, a total of 466 households in Palm Desert were overcrowded.

In addition, the City has implemented overlay zoning for affordable and senior projects, which when applied provides applicants with further density and special standards. The City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment for 1998-2005 totals 444. Based on the Table above, there is both sufficient land and a sufficiently broad variety of densities to provide housing of all types and in all income ranges. Please also refer to the discussion of Quantified Objectives, below. 14 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS There are a number of projects and programs available in Palm Desert which provide a variety of services to the City's residents. In addition, regional, state and federal programs can also be accessed within the community. This section of the Housing Element provides a summary of programs available by a number of agencies. City Programs The City has focussed its redevelopment funds on the production of new units, the rehabilitation of existing units„ and has developed a single family Home Improvement Program. The Home Improvement Program provides loans or grants tailored to the household's income to improve an existing housing unit. Grants can range to$12,500, and loans up to $25,000. The City's Redevelopment Agency provides a wide range of services for City residents. These services are designed to implement fair housing policies and procedures and to provide information concerning minority rights under existing fair housing laws. The City's projects are discussed further under "Affordable Housing Project."

A number of governmental, environmental and other constraints can affect the provision of affordable housing in any community. This section of the Housing Element reviews these potential constraints, and analyses whether constraints exist in Palm Desert. Governmental Constraints Permit Processing The City of Palm Desert has adopted a rapid processing system which assures that all applications are processed efficiently. The City allows for the concurrent processing of all types of applications, and an applicant with a complete application can secure Planing Commission approval in 3 months or less. The City's timelines for application processing are not a constraint to development. Application Fees ' The City's Community Development Department fee schedule is depicted below. Clearly, these fees are not a constraint to the development of housing.

Parcel Map 50.00 Source: City of Palm Desert, 2000 The City Council may waive fees for affordable housing projects. General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Constraints The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan allows for density ranges of 1 to 18 units per acre. In addition, the City has implemented a Second Unit Senior District and Senior Housing Overlay District in its Zoning Ordinance, which allow an additional rental unit on a single family lot, and higher density for senior projects, respectively. The City has also implemented a density bonus program for projects which commit to income restrictions, as implemented at the San Tropez Apartments. Other provisions in the Zoning Ordinance impact the cost of housing in the City. Development standards can increase the costs of construction, and thereby increase the cost of the home to the buyer.

Projects including new residential construction are normally required to install all necessary on and off-site improvements, including a half-width of the paved width of the street, concrete curbs, sidewalks,water connections and sewer connections. Roadway standards for local or neighborhood streets which allow parking on both sides of the street have paved width of 40 feet. Infrastructure improvements are in place in most locations within the City limits. Building Code Requirements The City enforces the Uniform Building Code (UBC), as do communities throughout California. When the UBC is updated, the City updates its implementing ordinance accordingly. The City cannot adopt standards that are less stringent than the UBC. Imposition of the UBC does not unduly impact the cost of housing in Palm Desert in comparison to any other community in the State. Building Permit Fees The City charges fees for the review of building plans and the inspection of residential structures under construction. These fees are intended to recoup the City's costs associated with these activities. In addition, school districts throughout California charge a fee of$2.01 per square foot of residential construction to offset the costs of providing new schools. 18 t TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element The City's Building Department has prepared a typical building permit fee for a single family residence with a valuation of$164,150.00 (including a two car garage and 200 square foot patio cover). Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee (TUMF) fees for new construction provide exemptions for affordable housing projects. This estimate is provided below.

Conversely, however, the Code Enforcement Department provides protection to renters and homeowners from issues of public health and safety. The Code Enforcement Department in Palm Desert works closely with the Housing Manager's office to coordinate areas which require assistance, particularly with health and safety issues. The Housing Manager coordinates repairs through the Home Improvement Program, and establishes the grant or loan to assist the household in making repairs. The City is also considering establishing such a program for multiple family residential units. Economic Constraints Non-governmental constraints to affordable housing in the City include the cost of land, cost of construction, and cost of financing. The geography of the Coachella Valley dictates that these factors are more regional than City-specific. Land Costs The cost of land is an important component of housing costs. The rapid increase in land costs throughout Southern California has pushed up housing costs simultaneously. Land in the Coachella Valley has been, and remains, relatively affordable compared to other Southern California markets,but increased demand for housing due to population growth will continue to put pressure on land costs. Land in Palm Desert can range from $30,000 to $40,000 for an in-fill improved residential lot, to $100,000 per acre for a larger parcel of land. With a maximum potential density of 18 units per acre, this represents a maximum potential cost per unit of$5,500 assuming that no density bonus is involved in the project. 19 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element Construction Costs Construction costs are the result of the current costs of labor, materials, and short-term financing. Single family construction costs are estimated to range between $50 and $100 per square foot depending on home design and materials selected. Multi-family construction costs range from$40 and $75 per square foot, again depending on design. The median sale price for a single family home in 1998 in the City was $155,000, according to the California Association of Realtors. Financing Costs Financing costs impact both the purchase price of the unit and the home buyers ability to purchase. Interest rates fluctuate in response to national factors. Currently relatively low (8% to 9%), they can change significantly and substantially impact the affordability of the housing stock. There are no known mortgage deficient areas in the City. Financing for both construction and long term mortgages is available subject to normal underwriting standards. PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS Maintenance of Housing Stock As housing units age, they become more expensive to maintain. Housing units over 30 years of age can become a burden to the owners, as costs for repairs rise. In Palm Desert, there are 3,755 housing units built before 1970, representing 18% of the City's total housing stock. These units may require continued attention to remain viable housing units. Please note that housing units added to the City's inventory through annexations are not represented in this Table.

The City is classified as Zone III and IV in the Uniform Building Code for seismic activity. The UBC imposes certain standards for construction in these zones, which may add to the overall costs of housing. These standards, however, are necessary for the public health and safety, and are common throughout the Valley and California. The standards required to protect the City's residents from seismic hazards is not considered a constraint to the provision of housing. 20 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element HOUSING NEEDS Existing Need `,., Although the Regional Housing Needs assessment included analysis of each community's existing need, the California Department of Housing and Community Development has determined that the existing need analysis was to be suggestive, not mandatory, and that it should be used only as a guide. The analysis determined that the City should have a total of 15,292 housing units, well below the 28,882 currently occurring in the City. The 1998-2005 Regional Housing Needs Allocation The Regional Housing Needs Assessment was prepared by SCAG. The following table lists the 1998-2005 allocation for the City of Palm Desert. Table 20 Future Housing Needs by Income Category 1998-2005 Units Very Low Income 77 Low Income 67 Moderate Income 85 High Income 215 Total Units Needed 444 *`" SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS There are households with identifiable special needs, as defined by California law for which the City must plan. These groups include single parent households, farmworkers, the handicapped and the elderly. Each special needs category is discussed in greater detail below. Farmworkers The 1990 Census showed a total of 88 farmworker families in Palm Desert in 1990. Farmworker housing is not an issue in the City of Palm Desert. The economy in the upper Coachella Valley has not been agriculturally based in several decades. There is therefore no need for farmworker housing in the City. Homeless Homelessness is a difficult issue to quantify. The homeless are generally mobile, often crossing from one city or county into another. The mild winter climate in the Coachella Valley may attract the homeless in those months. Hot summer temperatures encourage the homeless to seek daytime shelter in air conditioned public places such as libraries, malls, and other public buildings. The primary provider of services to the homeless in the Coachella Valley is Catholic Charities, a non-profit, nondenominational organization. Catholic Charities staff reports that the reasons for homelessness include sudden job loss, illness and lack of medical insurance, family break-ups, and seasonal job layoffs or reduction in hours. Catholic Charities and the County Housing Authority operate a 40 bed emergency shelter for home- less families. The shelter is located in Palm Springs,but serves the entire Coachella Valley region. 21 TN/City of Palm Desert , General Plan/Housing Element Shelter From The Storm is a battered women's shelter located in the Coachella Valley. Women and their children generally stay up to 45 days. The Shelter provides three meals a day, counseling and other services. Other homeless individuals not served by the facility at Nightingale Manor include the mentally ill, those with chemical dependencies, and those who voluntarily choose a transient lifestyle. These individuals may be served by the Coachella Valley Rescue Mission, located in Indio, or by the Emergency Cold Weather Shelter, located at the National Guard Armory in Indio, in the winter months. These facilities provide only emergency shelter and do not deal with the causes of homelessness. The Elderly In 1990, the City had 5,401 persons over the age of 65, representing 23.2% of the population. These seniors were in a total of 3,762 households. Affordability can be an issue of special concern to the elderly, who are often on fixed retirement incomes. In addition, the elderly may require assistance with housekeeping, maintenance, and repairs to remain in their own homes as long as possible. Special design features that may be needed include elimination of barriers such as steps and the provision of recreational and social amenities for the elderly. The City of Palm Desert has a number of facilities for the elderly,including several board and care facilities which house elderly persons who require some level of medical care. The City is also home to several nursing care facilities, including the Carlotta, with 192 beds; Monorcare Health Services, with 178 beds; and Monterey Palms, with 99 beds. The City's seniors also live in its mobilehome parks, as discussed below. Handicapped The 1990 Census identified 1,523 persons in the City with disabilities, of which 977 were persons over the age of 65. No data is currently available which correlates disability to income, and not all disabling conditions impact an individual's income or housing needs. Many disabilities, however, lead to special housing needs such as ramps, wider doors and hallways, lower cabinets and countertops, and grab bars. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)requires that all new multi-family construction include a percentage of units accessible to the handicapped. The City of Palm Desert Building Department requires compliance with these standards as part of the Building Permit review and inspection process. AIDS The Desert AIDS Project (DAP) has 50 clients who live in Pam Desert. Although other residents may be HIV-positive, most DAP clients have progressed into the symptomatic stages of the disease. As the disease progresses, persons with AIDS (PWA's) often become unable to work, lose their source of income, and lose their medical insurance. Housing affordable to low income people, including group homes and hospice care,become special housing needs of PWA's. Large Families The 1990 Census indicates there were 646 households with five or more members in the City. Large families have a special need for three, four, or more bedroom units. The Census also identified a total of 1,136 housing units with 4 or more bedrooms. No data is available regarding the relationship of these larger units to affordability. Single Parent Families 1990 Census data indicates there are 114 single parent families in the City, 51 with a male head of household and 63 with a female head of household. Single individuals with dependent children need housing which is both affordable and located close to daycare facilities and schools. 22 TN/City of Palm Desert • General Plan/Housing Element Affordable Units at Risk Only one project in the City qualifies as being "at risk." The 26 unit Candlewood Apartments has a 5 year contract with the Department of Housing and Urban Development to remain affordable, ,,, and could opt out at the end of each of these contract renewals. Provisions should be made by the City to safeguard these units, should their affordability be threatened. Riverside County Income Limits The 2000 median income calculated for Riverside County for a family of four is $47,400. This is used to calculate very low (50% of median) and low (80% of median) incomes for use in State and federal subsidized housing programs.

Overpayment is defined as paying more than 30% of a household's income toward the provision of shelter. 2,559 renter-occupied households were paying more than 30% of their income toward housing expenses in 1990, while 2,130 owner-occupied households were paying more than 30% of their income toward housing expenses. Of these owner-occupied households, 795 were senior households. Preservation of Mobilehome Parks as an Affordable Housing Opportunity Traditionally, mobilehome parks have provided an affordable housing opportunity, particularly for senior citizens. Mobilehome parks will have a positive impact on the City's lower income residents, and their ability to find affordable housing. The City has a total of 1,203 mobile homes currently. Table 22 provides a listing of the City's mobilehome parks, and their representative rental rates. 23 TN/City of Palm Desert General Plan/Housing Element Table 22 Representative Mobilehome Park Rental Rates in Palm Desert, 2000 Project Name (total units) Senior Only Monthly Rental Indian Springs (191) Yes $ 380-600 Palm Desert Mobile Estates (142) No 282-330 Silver Spur(219) No 424-485 Suncrest (360) Yes 398-676 Portola Palms (142) No Ownership Source: Terra Nova Planning&Research,Inc.2000 Apartment Rental Rates The median monthly rental rate for Palm Desert was $616 in 1990. Based on the 30% gross household income standard, a monthly income of$1,850, or annual income of$22,200, was needed to afford a rent of $616 per month. In order to gauge the affordability of housing in the City currently, a telephone survey of representative projects was conducted. { 24 TN/City of Palm Desert • • General Plan/Housing Element Table 23 Representative Apartment Market Rental Rates in Palm Desert, `., 2000 Project Name(total units) Unit Market Restricted Size Rental Rental Rate Rate Candlewood (26) 1 Bdrm $400.00 Catalina Garden (72)* Studios $428.00 $227-523 I Bdrm $525.00 $233-549 Country Club Estates (141) 1 Bdrm $575.00 Desert Oasis (320) Studios $365.00 1 Bdrm $695-720 2 Bdrm $730-865 3 Bdrm $995- 1,075 Desert Pointe (64)* Studios $465.00 $227-523 1 Bdrm $550.00 $233-549 2 Bdrm $635.00 $288-683 Golden Oaks (16) 2 Bdrm $650.00 Laguna Palms (48) Studios $410.00 1 Bdrm $500.00 2 Bdrm $600.00 Las Serenas (150)* 1 Bdrm $500.00 $233-549 Neighbor's Garden (24)* 2 Bdrm $600.00 $288-683 One Quail Place (384)* 1 Bdrm $640.00 $233-549 2 Bdrm $680-725 $288-683 Palm Desert Apartments (248) Studios $495.00 1 Bdrm $550-575 2 Bdrm $595.00 Palm Desert Palms (40) 2 Bdrm $695-725 Palm Lake Village (220) 1 Bdrm $750-850 2 Bdrm $825-925 Panorama (58) 1 Bdrm $595.00 The Pueblos (15)* 2 Bdrm $312.00 $202-312 Rancho Vista(42) 2 Bdrm $800.00 3 Bdrm $1,000.00 San Tropez Villas (512) 1 Bdrm $705.00 2 Bdrm $837.00 Taos Palms (16)* 2 Bdrm $615.00 $241-615 Villa del Sol (32) 2 Bdrm $675.00 * Units owned by the City of Palm Desert 25 9Z 'IrounoJ pup uorssruiuzoD 2uruuuid ap azojaq auuuaq orignd paopou icinp pur `sloafozd s,4j alp lnogfnozp pasr1Janpu sum gorgM `uorssrururoJ 2ursnoH piaq dogs)poM orignd u papnpur °sou i, luauraig 2ursnoH sup 2uiMarnaz ur auuuaq orignd par sdogsNzoM Jo zaqurnu plan NOIZVdIDL IIVd DI'Iglld •mollo3 uorgm suiuz2ozd puu sarogod 'qua alp jo snooj alp sr s2oafozd asap jo uopmuauzaidun aqj 00'000`0SL$ :SursnoH dimes nos 00'000`000`3 :joafozd Joruas alqupiojjv MaN 00'000`00S`Z$ :uouulrirquuaj Xpurud-pinj, 00'000`00T`8$ :uonulrirqugaj ifirruua ai$urS 00708`9LOT$ :uor1onuTsuoD MaN drgszauMO iiirruud al2urS StI/Puu7 AID. 00'000`000`I$ :uopuTrirquuax iuriuulsgng II uso21 uluuS •pouad 2uruuuid srq uunp papunj aq!pm sloafozd 2urmoiioJ ap iup paioafozd suq ifouad aqj •sasuadxa zapo puu uouu.psrurrupu zoj paunbaz sr Xiiunuuu 000`OOL$ Iuuomppu ur •aornzas igap of paiuoopu sr uoriIruJ S'£$ Alaluuirxozddu `spun] asap Jo •spun]aprsu-ias 2ursnoq ur ifHunuuu 00'000`000`L$ ifiaauuzrxozddu sanraoar;foua2d 1uaurdoianapag aqZ •�ursnog jo ivaurdoianap aqi ur lsrssu aiquirunu azu spunj alunbapu augi uruizao ova!isnui icouo2v TuaurdoianapoJ alp `anoqu uMogs sanuoafgo poguuunb aqi anargou of zapzo ui ONIUNII13 ADN30V INHIAidO'IIA3Q32I 0I 0 0 S S uorlunzasuoD 00T 0 S£ S9 OS uouuirirquga21 t71717 S I Z S8 L9 LL uononpsuoJ maN Imo"1L pies MO'I MO'I ale.Iapol\I ,flan ,faaalup auioaul SOOZ-8661 `xpleN sampafgo pa muunO bZ aiq'Z S3All33f SO UHIJIZNV110 •sanbrugooi uoponzisuoo ivarordja Aazaua jo asn alp zoj ivauraRuznooua 2urprnozd sr la' su `i,Z opa ur pairnbai sp.rupuuls ap aarojua uric' iuzauao puu suoguinSaz 2urpirnq `suoriuin2az ivaurdoianap s‘ifiD aqj •zasn aqi zoj sling Xirir�n AIpuour ur uoponpaz alp piM 2ursnoq Jo isoo aqi ur asuazour ap oauuiuq isnui suouorpsuni iuooi `tZ api j paiupuuuz-aiulS aqi puoXaq puu anoqu spzupuuis ifouarouJa /Maul 2uuuniuna uagM •saornap zuios anrlou puu `uoprinsur `saznnuoj u2Isap g2nozp 2ursnoq Jo uor]onzjsuoo mau iiu ur ifouarorjja /Maua azmbaz suoriuin2az apoJ 2urppmg puu fiZ apr,i, -wog zaururns aurazpxa alp o1 onp `XaIIuA uliagouoD ap ur iunazoduzr /flzuinorizud sr uoriunzasuoo /f2zaug uoilen.zasuoD ifnau3 •aouuisrssu inop!M ap ur sivaur mudu aiuz iO3Izuur alp pzojju of ,., aiqu 8uraq sariruruj Isour ur siinsaz srq,i, •puour zad 00'8t'6$ do !Noire pinoo jo Iciruru3 mom! tow moi V •puouz lad 00'j£S$ Tu 1uaurizudu ur pzojj of aiqu aq PInoM `anoqu I Z ow' ur uMogs s�ruzrl auroour 000Z ap uo pasuq`£3o /clung auroaur MO! £izan V •spiogosnoq !soul zoj icirunizoddo 2ursnoq aiqupzojju ire sivasazdaz gorgM Iona!u iu sr 2ursnoq mug.'aim Ta)Izuuz s,Iiir3 alp `IiizuajJ ruauiala'ursnoH/usld'mua° • uasaU ultud Jo iiJ/N L TN/City of Palm Desert . .

Background: The bid opening for the Re-Design Landscape and Planting for One Quail Place was held on October 20, 2000. One bid was received from All City Enterprises for a total amount of $1,294,053.00. After carefully review of the bid submittal and qualifications of the contractor and subcontractor, staff is recommending rejection of the bid received. A major portion of the scope of work involves the landscape retrofit of the property. The bid dollar amount for this component of the retrofit totaled $1,099,945.05 which is 85% of the bid. The bid received from All City Enterprises lists CLS Landscaping as their subcontractor who would perform all of the landscape work. The general contractor's primary specialty is fencing and not landscaping, hence, CLS Landscaping will, in fact, be the prime contractor. As a result of the magnitude of the landscape retrofit required, it is staffs determination that CLS Landscaping does not have the background or experience for managing a project of this magnitude as their largest project was $300,000. Given this, staff recommends rejection of the bid and requests authorization to re-advertise the project.
