Welcome to this informational
presentation about the 2021
through 2029 housing element update for
the city of Chino
over the next 15 minutes you will be
provided useful background information
about the housing element update process
how it relates to the city of Chino
and components of the work effort
at the end of the presentation
you will learn how you can provide input through an online community survey
Hello i'm Chino Mayor Eunice Ulloa
our recent experience with COVID-19 has
helped us to realize that our homes are the heart of every community
but did you know that state law requires
all local governments to adequately plan
to meet the housing needs of
everyone in all economic segments of the community
We are launching an update of that plan called the Housing Element
and we need your input so that it meets existing and projected future housing needs.
but also so that it reflects your vision of Chino
Chino has always prided itself on having
something for everyone
With an abundance of housing options and
lifestyle choices
Senior housing an apartment close to a
park
horse property and everything in between
the Housing Element is a policy document
that will shape the future of housing in
Chino
prioritizing the values expressed by our
stakeholders
it also opens the door to that future by
making the city eligible for grants and
funding sources in support of the plan
the Housing Element is in part about
numbers and projections so that we can demonstrate the city's
ability to meet future housing growth
but it is uniquely our own plan
reflecting both our past and present and the future to which we aspire
sounds like a pretty important document right?
Well it is, you are a critical stakeholder in this community
So get involved in the development of the Housing Element
and help us shape the future of housing
in Chino
Well we'd normally want to hear from you
in person. This year we ask you to engage with us online
First watch the presentation
second please take the survey
and third learn more by visiting www.cityofchino.org/housingelement
Now our Director of Development Services Nick Liguori
will tell us more about this important
planning document for our city
Thank you for that introduction Mary Uiloa again my name is Nick Liguori
I'm your Director of Development Services
for the City of Chino
Not only do i work for the city but this
is also a place that my family and I call home
City is a very special place
and anytime we look at long-range
planning
planning for our future it's very
important critical
that we have the input of the folks who
live and work in our city
and that's where i'm asking for your help
normally when we start a long range
planning
process like the Housing Element update
i'd be coming to you
be going to neighborhood meeting or some
type of community gathering where i'd be
listening to you answering your
questions and we'd be discussing the
importance of this project
since we can't do that right now we're taking our outreach online I'd ask you to log in to our website
at cityofchino.org/housingelement and please participate in the survey
that we've developed that will provide us critical input as we go through this process
Now you may be asking why we're doing this?
What is a housing element?
Well every city in California is required to plan on an eight-year cycle for the growth
that's going to happen and we have to have a housing plan that
shows how we can accommodate housing at all different income levels and for all
different kinds of people over that next eight years so this is
where that survey
input is critical because it will help
us to tailor a plan that's unique to Chino
we've hired a consultant Kim Lee Horn and Associates to help us
with the legal and technical aspects
of the plan but we really want to hear
from you to help us develop a plan for Chino
now you go ahead and do the survey but
if you want to talk to someone go ahead
and give me a call
my number is 909-334-3331
and myself or one of my planning staff
will be happy to talk with you
answer your questions discuss the
project and get your input on that
now i'm going to turn it over to our
consultant so please continue watching
they'll give you a more detailed view of what a housing element is and
How we're going to put it together
this presentation will cover a summary of existing housing conditions in Chino
an overview of the housing element update process
the regional housing needs assessment process
or what is commonly known as RHNA that identifies the city's share of
projected housing unit growth from 2021
through 2029
The city's process and content requirements for updating the housing element
and the project schedule and next steps
in the process
to better understand the City of Chino
here is a review of summary demographic
information that may be helpful
In 2018 the American Community Survey
estimated that 34 percent of all
residents within Chino were hispanic
or latino of any race while 32 of
residents identified as white
the graphic on the screen shows a
further breakdown of the major race
and ethnic groups within Chino
the city of Chino's population has steadily increased over the past decade
Since 2010 it is estimated that more than 8,000 new residents move to Chino
housing in Chino is primarily composed
of single-unit detached houses
similar to what you would see in
residential neighborhoods throughout California
As of 2018 almost 70 percent of Chino's
housing units were detached
single-family structures
these types of houses are considered
low-density residential development
multi-family units including apartments
and condominiums
comprise 23 percent of housing units
within the city
Approximately 62 percent of Chino's
households are married couples with or without children
22 percent of households are considered non-family meaning individuals living alone
or with roommates
an additional 16 percent
are female head of households with no
spouse present
as shown 62 percent of households within
Chino are occupied by the homeowner
the remaining 38 are renter occupied
units
consisting of apartments or houses that
are leased
lastly the majority of the housing within Chino was built between 1970 and 2009
The following slides describe the process for updating the city's housing element for the 2021
through 2029 planning period
The housing element is one of the
required elements or chapters of the city general plan
the housing element is unique
because it must be updated on a regular
schedule and reviewed by the state for
compliance with state housing law
the housing element demonstrates that
Chino has the ability to accommodate
estimated future housing growth
the housing element identifies housing
goals policies
programs and objectives the city will
commit to in order to address
existing and future housing needs in
Chino
examples of housing goals may include
providing housing for residents
at all income levels within the
community or encouraging streamlined
development application review
the housing element must identify sites
to accommodate future housing needs at
all income levels these income
categories include lower income
moderate income and above moderate
income as defined by the state of California
Chino's area median income or AMI
is based on the average median for San
Bernardino County
Lastly, the housing element must be
reviewed by the State Department of Housing
and community development
or HCD for compliance with state laws
The housing element demonstrates that
Chino is able to accommodate the amount
of anticipated housing growth between
2021 and 2029
This is determined by the analysis of demographic and economics
growth trends and other land use housing
and development information
housing needs within any community change frequently as a result of growing
populations, changes in technology and other local factors
due to this it is important continually review and update the housing element
to ensure the city is able to plan
adequately for its future
the housing element update process
allows the city's residents to engage in
dialogue about future growth in Chino
this process includes multiple steps and
is a vital part of a successful housing
element update
updating the housing element ensures the
city is compliant with current state
housing laws
and provides other benefits such as
becoming eligible for state
grants and funding sources
when a housing element is reviewed by
the state and found to meet the
requirements of state law
it is deemed certified the certified
the certified housing element is a complete plan demonstrating the city's actions to
meet their existing and future housing growth need
As previously mentioned this also means that the city may become
eligible for certain state assistance
programs
grants and alternative funding sources
the housing element is made up of five
main sections
the population and housing profile provides baseline demographic and
housing statistics that support future policy recommendations
the city will also look at current adopted 2012 through 2021 housing
element policy program to review progress in implementing its program and actions
The housing element assesses potential constraints to the development of housing
and available resources to be able to
mitigate or potentially remove those constraints
If constraints are identified the city
will develop policies with specific actions that may be taken to address them
the city must also identify appropriate housing sites to meet the city's RHNA allocation
this may include existing available residentially zoned site
or sites that could accommodate housing in the future
lastly the city will develop policies
and programs that describe specific
actions the city will take to meet its
housing goals
these sections will also identify the
resources needed to complete those
actions and the anticipated timeline for implementation
The following slides provide information
on Chino's regional housing needs
assessment or commonly referred to as RHNA
the regional housing needs assessment
identifies the number of housing units
within the very low
low moderate and above moderate income
categories that the city must accommodate during the 2021 through 2029 planning period
The RHNA allocation is generally based on future growth in population, employment and households
the amount of housing units is first
determined by the state of California
for each regional planning agency in
California
Chino's regional planning agency is the
Southern California Association of Governments
or SCAG
SCAG regional need determination
is then allocated to each of SCAG members of jurisdictions
member jurisdictions
SCAG develops the methodology for determining each
city's fair share amount of housing units by income category income category
the RHNA process is expected to be completed in late 2020
this table identifies the four defined income categories which are
income ranges that determine affordability
by income range
the city must provide housing opportunity for persons with all income ranges
it should be noted that the city of
Chino is not required to build these units
but must provide the ability for the
private housing market to do so
the city will conduct a detailed sites
analysis to identify sites that provide
opportunities
to meet projected housing unit need the
city may consider vacant land
underutilized uses older shopping centers
or former school sites publicly owned land and other locations
additionally there is opportunity for
the public to identify
sites during the planning process
one area that may not be considered is
the city's sphere of influence area
this land is currently located within
County of San Bernardino jurisdiction
and is counted as part of the County of
San Bernardino's RHNA need
this presentation is the first in a
series of outreach efforts the City of
Chino will undertake to engage the
community
and gather input on the housing element
update process
community input including residents
business owners
and other stakeholders is critical to a
successful update of any plan
the city intends to make every effort
possible to engage members of the
community
who want to be involved in shaping the future of Chino
the first steps in the housing element update process are informing the
community about the housing element
gathering input and updating the city's
demographic profile
with the information gained the city
will develop a draft housing element
and work with HCD to get a certified
housing element document
throughout the process the city will
continue to engage the community
including a public review and comment
period for the draft document
Once it's reviewed by HCD and the public
the document will be brought to the
planning commission and city council for adaption
the housing element update will follow
the schedule shown here
the schedule is tentative and subject to
change based on timelines established by
the State of California
the housing elements web page provided
at the end of this presentation
will maintain the most current housing
element update schedule
the city has created a dedicated web
page with access to
all public information relating to the
housing element update
the link is shown on your screen
please check the website regularly for project
updates and information
the city also wants to hear from you about the future of housing within Chino
An online community survey has been developed that gives residence and other interests parties the ability to
let the project team know what is most
important to you when discussing housing
please use the directions on the screen to access the survey
the next slide has further instructions
on how to take the survey
once you've accessed it
the instructions on the screen provide
information on how to take the survey
there are five slides in total and it is
estimated to take between
5 and 15 minutes to complete once
complete
please click submit final questions to
ensure your response is collected
this information will be compiled and
analyzed to help make policy
and site recommendations within the
housing element
if you have any questions please contact
Warren Morellian at one of the methods
shown on the screen or visit the housing element webpage for more information
we appreciate you taking the time to learn about the city's housing element update
and provide input on this important
process thank you
