Sites in the Rezoning Program of the Housing Element where rezoning is needed to allow for higher density housing development as part of the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:14pt">Introduction</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>This metadata is broken up into different sections that provide both a high-level summary of the Housing Element and more detailed information about the data itself with links to other resources. The following is an excerpt from the Executive Summary from the Housing Element 2021 – 2029 document:</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The County of Los Angeles is required to ensure the availability of residential sites, at adequate densities and appropriate development standards, in the unincorporated Los Angeles County to accommodate its share of the regional housing need--also known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Unincorporated Los Angeles County has been assigned a RHNA of 90,052 units for the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period, which is subdivided by level of affordability as follows:</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">Extremely Low / Very Low (&lt;50% AMI) - 25,648</SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">Lower (50 - 80% AMI) - 13,691</SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">Moderate (80 - 120% AMI) - 14,180</SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">Above Moderate (&gt;120% AMI) - 36,533</SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic;">Total - 90,052</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>NOTES - Pursuant to State law, the projected need of extremely low income households can be estimated at 50% of the very low income RHNA. Therefore, the County’s projected extremely low income can be estimated at 12,824 units. However, for the purpose of identifying adequate sites for RHNA, no separate accounting of sites for extremely low income households is required. AMI = Area Median Income</SPAN><SPAN /></SPAN></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:14pt">Description</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The Sites Inventory (Appendix A) is comprised of vacant and underutilized sites within unincorporated Los Angeles County that are zoned at appropriate densities and development standards to facilitate housing development. The Sites Inventory was developed specifically for the County of Los Angeles, and has built-in features that filter sites based on specific criteria, including access to transit, protection from environmental hazards, and other criteria unique to unincorporated Los Angeles County. Other strategies used within the Sites Inventory analysis to accommodate the County’s assigned RHNA of 90,052 units include projected growth of ADUs, specific plan capacity, selected entitled projects, and capacity or planned development on County-owned sites within cities. This accounts for approximately 38 percent of the RHNA. The remaining 62 percent of the RHNA is accommodated by sites to be rezoned to accommodate higher density housing development (Appendix B).</SPAN></SPAN></P><P /><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:14pt">Caveats:</SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>This data is a snapshot in time, generally from the year 2021. It contains information about parcels, zoning and land use policy that may be outdated. The Department of Regional Planning will be keeping an internal tally of sites that get developed or rezoned to meet our RHNA goals, and we may, in the future, develop some public facing web applications or dashboards to show the progress. There may even be periodic updates to this GIS dataset as well, throughout this 8-year planning cycle.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN /><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="font-weight:bold;margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN STYLE="font-size:14pt">Update History:</SPAN></P><UL STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;padding:0 0 0 0;"><LI><P STYLE="margin:0 0 11 0;"><SPAN>5/31/22 </SPAN><SPAN>– Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted the Housing Element on 5/17/22, and it received final certification from the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) on 5/27/22</SPAN><SPAN>.
