1. Zoning Code and Specific Plan Text Amendments Related to Special Needs Housing (Licensed residential Care Facilities with Six or Fewer Persons, Transitional Housing, and Supportive Housing)
City Council January 30, 2017

2. Tonight’s Meeting Purpose
To align the City’s Zoning Code and all existing specific plans with the State Law requirements related to licensed residential care facilities with six or fewer persons, transitional housing, and supportive housing
Implementation of two Housing Element Programs #19.3 and #22.2
Hillsides
The item before you is an amendment to the City’s Zoning Code and all 8 SPs related to special needs housing, which includes RCF with 6 or fewer person, TH and SH.
This item is an implementation of two of Housing Element Implementation Programs, #19.3, and #22.2, which calls for review and amendment of the City’s Zoning Code related to these 3 uses to be consistent with the State Law.

3. State Housing Law
Over the past decade, the State Housing Law has been amended to address special needs housing that serves the elderly, persons with disabilities, homeless persons and persons at risk of being homeless
Types of special needs housing:
Emergency Shelters
Transitional Housing
Cities are required to amend the Zoning Code in order to be consistent with the State Law
Supportive Housing
Residential Care Facilities
Hillsides
Over the past decade, California housing element law has been amended to address special housing needs, including elderly, people with disabilities, and who are homeless.
The types of special needs housing includes facilities like emergency shelters, transitional housing, supportive housing, and residential care facilities, and the City has been, and is in process of implementing state mandated provisions related to these housing, as the City is required to amend the ZC to be consistent with the State Law.
(In Pasadena, the existing facilities serve approximately 3400 residents of special needs. These facilities play a very important role in addressing the special housing needs.)

4. State Housing Law Senate Bill 2 (2008)
Amended the Housing Element Law regarding planning and approval process for emergency shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing to encourage and facilitate development of these types of special needs housing
Requires changes to local zoning codes to:
Allow emergency shelters as a by-right permitted use so there is a sufficient capacity to accommodate the need
Recognize transitional and supportive housing as residential uses
Require transitional and supportive housing to be treated in the same manner as other residential uses
Hillsides
Particularly, Senate Bill 2 (effective 2008) modified State housing element law related to planning and approval process for ES, TH, and SH to facilitate development of these special needs housing by requiring all cities in California to amend their zoning codes to: 1) identify where emergency shelters are a by-right permitted use and show that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate the need for emergency shelters as identified in the housing element; 2) recognize transitional housing and supportive housing as residential uses; and 3) treat transitional housing and supportive housing types the same as other similar residential uses of the same type within the same zoning district.

5. Housing Element Programs
Reviewed by The Planning Commission in January 2014, and adopted by the City Council in February 2014
Three action items related to addressing special needs housing:
Program related to emergency shelters (#22.3) was completed in December 2013 (in conjunction with the Housing Element preparation)
Two remaining programs:
#19.3: Review Zoning Code to ensure residential care facilities serving six of fewer persons are allowed in appropriate zones consistent with state law.
#22.2: Update Zoning Code to allow transitional and permanent supportive housing in all zones allowing residential uses subject to the same standards as to housing of the same type in the same zone.
Hillsides
The City’s Housing Element was reviewed by the Planning Commission on January of 2014, and was adopted by the City Council in february of It included three program objectives that require review and/or changes to the City’s Zoning Code related to special housing needs (#19.3, 22.2, 22.3).
Among the 3 programs, the program related to emergency shelter was completed in December of 2013, so there are 2 remaining programs.
First one requires a review of the zoning code to ensure residential care facilities serving six or fewer persons are allowed in appropriate zones consistent with state law, and the second one requires updates to the zoning code to allow transitional and permanent supportive housing in all zones allowing residential uses subject to the same standards as to housing of the same type in the same zone.
So In order to appropriately analyze the City’s Zoning Code related to these land uses with relevant state statues, staff reviewed the state law and the zoning code with a consultant and legal counsel specializing in housing-related matters. It should be noted that HCD, which is the state department who reviews and certifies City’s Housing Element, identified these programs as necessary programs to comply with the State Law.

6. Transitional and Supportive Housing
State Law Requirements
Definitions:
Transitional Housing - “Buildings configured as rental housing, but operated under program requirements that call for termination of assistance and recirculation of the assisted unit to another eligible program recipient at some future point in time (no less than 6 months)”
Supportive Housing - “Housing with no limit on length of stay, occupied by target population, and that is linked to onsite or offsite services that assist the resident”
Must be considered as a residential use, subject to same standards as other residential dwellings in the same zone
Must be allowed by-right in all zones where housing is permitted
Hillsides
For transitional and supportive housing, Under the state law, transitional housing refers to a rental housing development that is operated under requirements that requires termination of assistance and recirculation of the unit at some predetermined future point in time. One thing to note is that the rental term cannot be less than 6 months from the beginning of the assistance.
Supportive housing refers to housing occupied by target population and is linked to on-site or off-site services that assist the resident. Target population refers to persons of low income who has one or more disabilities as defined by the state. There is no limit on length of stays for supportive housing.
The state law requires that both TH and SH be considered a residential use of property, subject only to the restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zoning district. Therefore, transitional housing and supportive housing must be permitted in all zones allowing residential uses and cannot be subject to any restrictions not imposed on similar dwellings in the same zoning district in which the transitional housing and supportive housing is located. So In practice, if transitional or supportive housing is built like a single- family dwelling unit, or if an existing single-family dwelling unit accommodates such housing, it must be treated like any other single-family dwelling. Similarly, if transitional or supportive housing is built like a multiple family unit, or an existing, multiple-family unit accommodates such housing, it must be treated likewise.

7. Transitional and Supportive Housing
Existing City Regulations
Transitional Housing
“Transition Housing”: A facility that provides housing at no cost for homeless individuals, in which residents stay longer than overnight (may include support services).
Land use regulation
Currently permitted in RM residential zones, and limited commercial zones (i.e. CL and CO)
In specific plan areas, this use is generally permitted in areas that are designated with RM, CL, or CO base zoning districts with a few exceptions
Two covered parking spaces per unit required
Supportive Housing
Not defined - there is no adopted land use regulations or parking standards
In terms of existing City regulations, for TH, the City’s ZC defines it under the term transition housing, which is a facility that provides housing at no cost for homeless individuals, where the occupants stay longer than overnight. This use is permitted to include some support services. TH is currently permitted in MF zones and limited commercial zones such as CL and CO ZD. This use is also generally permitted in SP areas with RM, CL, or CO based ZD with some exceptions. For parking, 2 covered parking is required per unit.
For SH, the City’s existing code does not define the use, so there are no standards established for SH. However, staff would like to note that in recognition of the existing State Law statues and the need for such housing, the City has been accommodating this use on a case-by-case basis by categorizing it as a residential land use that such supportive housing occupies (e.g. a supportive housing in an apartment building is classified as a multi-family residential land use).

8. Transitional and Supportive Housing
Discrepancies with the State Law
Transitional Housing
Existing definition does not match State’s definition
This use is not permitted in a number of zoning districts that currently allow housing
Parking requirements mirror the parking standards applicable to single- family residences
Supportive Housing
Zoning Code does not define or provide development standards for supportive housing
Based on the review of the state law and the existing City Code, the existing ZC governing TH is generally consistent with the State Law, but there are some discrepancies between the two. First,
the definition needs to be amended to remove provisions that are too narrow or restrictive (i.e. no-cost, limited to individuals) so that it mirrors provisions within the State Law. Also, even though the existing Zoning Code already allows transitional housing in multi-family residential zones and some commercial and specific plan areas, the Zoning Code must be amended to explicitly allow this use is all single-family residential zones, along with other commercial and specific plan areas that currently allow housing. In addition, the parking standards must also be amended as they may be more restrictive than what is required in some cases.
For SH, the City’s existing code does not define the use as mentioned before, so this use must be introduced to the City’s Zoning Code.

9. Transitional and Supportive Housing
Proposed Amendments to conform to the State Law
Transitional Housing
Modification of existing definition to match State definition
Establish minimum length of stay
Require recirculation to another program recipient at a predetermined future point in time
Designate as either a by-right use or a conditionally permitted use in 20 additional zoning districts that currently permit housing
Modification of parking requirements to apply the same standards applicable to the type of housing that the use occupies
So for TH, there are 3 main changes proposed to the existing code.
In terms of definition, it will be modified to match the state’s definition and to remove provisions that are too narrow or restrictive. Mainly, the new definition will establish the minimum length of stay, along with requirement of recirculation of the unit.
For land use regulations, even though the existing ZC allows TH in all RM districts and some commercial and specific plan areas, TH will be additionally permitted as either a by-right use or a conditionally permitted use in 20 additional zoning districts that currently permits housing. Generally, this use will be additionally permitted as a by-right use in all single-family zoning districts, and specific plan areas with RM, CL, and CG base zoning districts (with some exception). In terms of parking, the parking requirement will be modified in a way that mirrors the standards applicable to the same type of housing that the use occupies. For an example, a residential care facility with six or fewer persons occupying a single-family dwelling unit will be required to comply with the parking standards applicable to a single-family residence (two covered space per unit). Similarly, a residential care facility with six or fewer persons occupies a multi-family dwelling unit will be required to comply with the parking standards applicable to a multi-family dwelling unit (one covered space per unit that is less than 650 square feet, and two covered space per unit that is 650 square feet or larger).

10. Transitional and Supportive Housing
Proposed Amendments to conform to the State Law
Supportive Housing
Addition of a new land use definition for supportive housing that matches the State definition
“Housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population as defined by the state Government Code Section 65582, and that is linked to an on-site or off-site service that assists the supportive housing resident in retaining the housing, improving his or her health status, and maximizing his or her ability to live and, when possible, work in the community.”
Establish the supportive housing as either a by-right use or a conditionally permitted use in 41 zoning districts
Establish a new parking standard for supportive housing, where supportive housing will be subject to the same standards applicable to the type of housing that the use occupies
And for SH:
As the City’s Zoning Code currently does not define, nor have land use regulations or parking standards for supportive housing, SH must be introduced to the City’s Zoning Code as a defined use, and corresponding regulations and standards need to be established.
In terms of definition, the State definition will be utilized for SH, which will read:______________________
And all applicable land use tables will be modified to allow SH in all zoning districts that currently allow residential uses, which includes all SF, MF and a number of commercial and SP areas (comes out to be 41 zoning districts or overlays). Basically, SH will be allowed where TH is allowed.
Also, a new parking standard will be established for SH, which will match the parking requirements proposed for TH – so SH will be subject to the same standards applicable to the type of housing that the use occupies

11. Residential Care Facilities (six or fewer)
State Law Requirements
Defined as: “Any family home, group care facility, or similar facility for 24- hour nonmedical care of persons in need of personal services, supervision, or assistance essential for sustaining activities of daily living or protection of the individual” (state licensed)
Must be considered as a residential use, subject to same standards as other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone
Must be allowed by-right in all zones where housing is permitted
Hillsides
Switching gears to residential care facilities with 6 or fewer persons,
The state defines this use as any family home, group care facility, or similar facility for 24-hour non-medical care of persons in need of personal services, supervision, or assistance essential for sustaining activities of daily living or for the protection of the individual.
Similar to TH and SH, the State Law mandates that such facilities serving six or fewer persons be considered a residential use of a property, subject only to the restrictions that apply to other family dwellings of the same type in the same zone. The intent is to allow such residents to live in a typical residential setting, and as such, this use must be allowed by right in all zones where other types of housing are permitted

12. Residential Care Facilities (six or fewer)
Existing City Regulations
Defined as: “Residential Care Facilities, Limited” - State licensed facilities that provide non-medical residential care, day treatment, or foster agency services for six of fewer persons
Land use regulation:
Currently permitted in both RS and RM residential zones, and limited commercial zones (i.e. CL and CO)
In specific plan areas, this use is generally permitted in areas that are designated with RM, CL, or CO base zoning districts
Two covered parking spaces per unit required
So in terms of existing City regulations, RCF with 6 or fewer person is defined under the term RCF-Limited, which includes state licensed facilities that provide non-medical residential care, day treatment, or foster agency services for 6 or fewer persons.
It is currently permitted in both SF and MF residential zones, and limited commercial zones such as CL and CO Zoning Districts. This use is also generally permitted in specific plan areas that are designated with RM, CL, or CO base zoning districts. For parking, this use is required to provide 2 covered parking per unit.

13. Residential Care Facilities (six or fewer)
Discrepancies with the State Law
Most existing regulations are in compliance with the State Law, but there are few minor discrepancies
Existing definition is more broad than the State’s definition
This use is not permitted in 14 zoning districts that currently allow housing
Parking requirements for both uses mirror the parking standards applicable to single-family residential
Based on the review, RCF-L is mostly in compliance with the State Law, but there are few minor discrepancies.
In terms of definition, the existing definition is broader that what is required, since it currently mirrors that of a community care facility, including additional types of facilities beyond what is required by the State Law.
Also, even though the existing Zoning Code already allows RCF in all residential zones and some commercial and SP areas, there is few number of zoning districts that currently allow housing where RCF is not allowed. In addition, the parking standards must also be amended as they are more restrictive than required in some cases.

14. Residential Care Facilities (six or fewer)
Proposed Amendments to conform to the State Law
Modification of existing definition to match State definition
Reworded to exclude types of facilities that are not included in the state’s definition of a group care facility
Designate as either a by-right use or a conditionally permitted use in 14 additional zoning districts that currently permit housing (all in specific plan areas)
Modification of parking requirements to apply the same standards applicable to the type of housing that the use occupies
As the discrepancies with the state law are pretty minor, the proposed changes to RCF area also minor.
Since the existing definition is broader than required, the definition will be reworded to exclude types of facilities that are not included in the state’s definition of a group care facility. Mainly, a day care or foster agency facilities are removed.
(It should also be noted that the existing definition for the existing definition for Residential Care Facilities, General, which refers to a residential care facility with 7 and more persons, will be modified in a same way (with an exception to the number of residents permitted) to retain consistency within the residential care facility land uses.)
Also, even though RCF-L is already allowed in most areas that currently allows housing including both SF and MF residential districts, there are 14 additional zoning districts that this use need to be additionally permitted since these zoning districts also currently allow housing. Generally, this use will be additionally permitted as a by-right use in some specific plan areas, including most Central District Specific Plan areas and other specific plan areas with CG base zoning districts (with some exception). And this use will additionally be permitted as a conditionally permitted use in zones with PS base zoning district.
In terms of parking, the parking requirement will be modified so the parking requirement mirrors the standards established for a form of housing that this use occupies. So if RCF is in SF home, it will be required 2 covered parking. If RCF is in MF structure, it will be required the parking requirements applicable to MF units.

15. Commission Advisory Review
Planning Commission – December 14, 2016
Acknowledged that the proposed amendments are necessary to comply with the state law
Expressed general concerns regarding the potential impact of State mandated land use regulations on local municipalities
Recommended that the City Council approve the proposed amendments
As required by the Zoning Code, the proposed ZC and SP Amendments were reviewed by the Planning Commission on December 14, 2016.
At this meeting, the PC acknowledged that the proposed amendments are necessary to comply with the state law, but also expressed concern regarding State mandated land use regulations and its impact on local authority to regulate its lad uses.
Ultimately, PC voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed amendments.

16. Required Findings
Consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan and all specific plans
General Plan:
Land Use Element Policy 21.1 (Adequate and Affordable Housing)
Housing Element Goal 4
Housing Element Policy 4.3 (People with Disabilities)
Housing Element Policy 4.4 (Service-Enriched Housing)
Specific Plans:
Goals and policies related to encouraging integration of different land uses and/or provision of different housing options and affordable housing
Not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City
In order to amend a zoning code, there are 2 findings that are required: the proposed amendment must be: 1) in conformance with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan, and 2) not detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City.
The proposed amendments allow RCF-L, TH, and SH in zoning districts where other residential uses are permitted, which encourages and facilitates the provision of housing for people with special housing needs; therefore, the proposed amendment is consistent with the GP and SP goals and policies listed on the screen.
In addition, the proposed amendments would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of the City since they permit land uses that address special housing needs of the community by serving disabled and/or homeless persons, subject to the same development standards that apply to the same type of housing that such use occupies. The amendments will not change any development standards such as height, setbacks or floor area that could impact adjacent properties

17. Recommendation Find that the proposed amendments are exempt from CEQA;
Adopt the findings of consistency;
Adopt the resolution approving the text amendment to all eight specific plans; and
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance within 60 days amending the Zoning Code
With that, staff recommends…..

31. CEQA
The proposed amendments are exempt from environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §21080(b)(1); Administrative Code, Title 14, Chapter 3, under Section 15061(b)(3), in that the it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed amendment may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed amendments are technical changes only and they do not entitle any development.
