This housing element was prepared to address the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation covering the 4th housing element cycle which was an 8.5 -year planning period of January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2014. The City's progress to date in implementing the 2006-2014 Housing Element is discussed below.

Progress in Implementing the Housing Element, Including Meeting the Local Share of the Regional Housing Needs Share of Regional Housing Needs - The City's fair share for affordable housing units under the 2006-2014 Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) requirements is shown in Table 1. \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development\GEN PLWAnnual Report\GP 2013 Report_140319.doc 70 Honorable City Council March 19, 2014 Page 9 TABLE 1: LOCAL SHARE OF REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS Progress in Meeting Local Share - Table 2 shows new housing units completed since January 1, 2006. This table includes the number of units affordable by households with incomes categorized as Very Low (less than 50 percent of County median income), Low (50-80 percent of County median income), Moderate (80-120 percent of County median income), or High (greater than 120 percent of County median income), based on estimated original sales or rental price. Units affordable to very -low and low-income residents were all secured through development agreements with the City. Moderate income units include both market rate units and units with rents or sales prices restricted by development agreements. It should be noted that in this RHNA reporting period, the City lost 37 rental units affordable to very low income households as the terms of the bond financing for an apartment project allowed these units to convert to market rate in September 2007. In addition, there have been additional constraints in meeting the General Plan Housing goals for development of affordable housing projects and units, due to the termination of redevelopment activities as a result of court decisions on AB1X 26 and AB1X 27.

City Efforts to Remove Governmental Constraints to the Maintenance, Improvement, and Development of Housing Units - The City of Moorpark has taken the following steps in recent years to remove governmental constraints that hinder the development of affordable housing units: 1. Continued implementation of the City's General Plan, as discussed previously in this report. 2. Continued processing of development agreements and other entitlements with inclusionary affordable housing components. \\DC1\Department Share\Community Development\GEN PLAN1Annual Report\GP 2013 Report_140319.doc 72 Honorable City Council March 19, 2014 Page 11 3. Continued revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to allow more flexibility in affordable housing projects. 4. Compliance with the affordable housing provisions of the Community Redevelopment Law. 5. Use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for housing services in lower income neighborhoods. 6. Provision of priority processing to projects that include affordability components. 7. Support of changes in planned land uses from non-residential to residential uses with high to very -high densities to provide affordable housing. 8. Support of upzoning of land planned for lower residential densities to provide affordable housing. 9. Support of density bonuses for residential projects that provide an affordability component within the project. 10. Amendment of density bonus provisions in General Plan and Zoning Ordinance to allow for up to 100% density bonus for qualifying affordable housing projects. 11. Amendment of Second Unit Ordinance to make permits for second units ministerial in compliance with AB 1866. 12.

Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2013-03 - City Initiated. This application included a request to amend, Chapters 17.12 (Establishment of Zones Boundaries and Maps) and 17.20 (Uses by Zone), and to add Chapter 17.76 (Residential Planned Development 20 units to the acre [RPD -20U -N -D] zone), to the Moorpark Municipal Code to allow for development of multi -family housing as a permitted use, in accordance with objective development standards and not subject to discretionary review, to ensure compliance with the adopted Housing Element, and consistency with changes in Federal and State Law.

This application included a request for a change of zone of the following three sites to Residential Planned Development 20 units to the acre (RPD20U-N-D) zone: (1) a 23.44 acre site (located within the southeastern portion of Specific Plan 1, Hitch Ranch Specific Plan property), (2) a 1.36 acre site (located at the southeast corner of Moorpark Avenue and Everett Street), and (3) a 1.34 acre site (located at the southeastern end of Majestic Court) for a total of 26.14 acres. This application was approved on September 4, 2013, by the City Council following a duly noticed public hearing on this application. Prior to this re- zone there were no vacant or underutilized sites in Moorpark with zoning that allowed residential development at densities of 20 units or greater per acre, excluding density bonus. Therefore, the City re -zoned three project sites, totaling 26.14 acres of land to RPD20U-N-D zoning to accommodate development of 516 lower-income units at a density of 20 units per acre commensurate with the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment, (RHNA). With the approval of this zone change the City now demonstrates that it can accommodate the number and range of units required in our total RHNA.
