DATE: December 17, 2014 PUBLIC HEARING
SUBJECT: CITY OF PALM SPRINGS ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT TO SECTION
92.17.1.01 OF THE PALM SPRINGS ZONING ORDINANCE RELATING
TO EMERGENCY SHELTERS IN THE M-2 (MANUFACTURING)
DISTRICT, (5.1332-ZTA).
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Planning Services
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider a proposed Zone Text Amendment to the Palm Springs
Zoning Ordinance in order to bring the code into conformance with state-mandated land
use and procedural requirements for emergency shelters, and to comply with the goals
of the 2007 General Plan and the 2014 Housing Element.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Open the public hearing and receive public testimony;
2. Introduce on first reading Ordinance No. "AN ORDINANCE OF
THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA AMENDING SECTION
92.17.1.01 OF THE PALM SPRINGS ZONING CODE RELATING TO
EMERGENCY SHELTERS."
Related Prior Actions:
On October 24, 2007, the City Council adopted the updated Palm Springs General Plan,
including a Housing Element.
On February 17, 2010, the Council adopted the 2010 Housing Element and was
certified by the California Department of Housing & Community Development on March
3, 2010,
On January 24, 2013, the City of Palm Springs submitted its 2011 & 2012 Housing
Element Annual Progress Report (APR), to the Department of Housing and Community
Development.

On January 15, 2014, the City Council adopted the current Housing Element of the
General Plan, but has not been certified by the California Department of Housing and
Community Development pending certain amendments to the Zoning Code relating to
the emergency shelters.
On July 9, 2014, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed
amendment to the City Council.
Background:
The proposed zoning ordinance amendment is in response to state-mandated laws
requiring local governments to remove restrictions for the siting of emergency shelters.
This amendment was most recently identified for adoption in the 2014 update of the
City's Housing Element. Furthermore, it is important to note that the State of California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) conditionally approved the
2014 Housing Element Update contingent upon the City's completion of this
amendment. Failure to adopt this change to the code may impede the City's ability to
secure grant funding for housing programs.
The need to amend the City's regulations for emergency shelters is just one of several
actions identified for completion in Goal HS1 of the 2014 Housing Element:
HS1.4: Complete Zoning Ordinance Amendments. Due to staff
elimination and workload, the Zoning Ordinance text
amendments required to be completed in the previous
planning period have been delayed. Amendments to the
Zoning Ordinance are planned as follows:
• Allow emergency shelters by right in the M-2 zone.
• Adopt Second Unit and Density Bonus provisions
consistent with the current requirements of State law
(Note: An Accessory Second Unit Ordinance will be
forwarded to City Council in December 2014).
• Allow transitional and supportive housing as a residential
use and only subject to those restrictions that apply to
other residential uses of the same type in the same zone.
(To be addressed at a later date.)
• Amend the Mixed Use development standards to allow
up to 70 dwelling units per acre, consistent with the
General Plan. (To be addressed at a later date.)
• Adopt "Reasonable Accommodation" provisions. (To be
addressed at a later date.)
ANALYSIS:
In accordance with the goals and action items of the Housing Element, it is proposed
that the Palm Springs Zoning Ordinance (PSZO) be amended to allow emergency
shelters and homeless shelters in the M-2 (Manufacturing) zone by right. Emergency
Shelters are housing for homeless persons intended for occupancy of less than six
02

City of Palm Springs ZO;5.1332-GPA/ZTA
Page 3 of 4
months, where no person is denied occupancy because of inability to pay. Currently,
emergency and homeless shelters are not a permitted use in any of the zoning districts
within the City. The State of California law requires cities to identify adequate sites and
standards to facilitate and encourage the development of emergency shelters and
transitional housing. Senate Bill (SB) 2 which became effective on January 1, 2008,
requires the City to identify at least one zone which permits emergency shelters without
a conditional use permit or other discretionary action, and requires that shelters be
subject only to the development standards that apply to residential or commercial uses
within the same zone. In the 2010 and 2014 adopted Housing Element of the General
Plan, the M-2 (Manufacturing Zone) was identified as a future location for emergency
and homeless shelters with a zoning code amendment.
Currently, the M-2 zone allows a wide variety of specific uses, including all uses
permitted in the C-1, C-2, C-M, M-1-P and M-1 zones. Staff conducted a survey to
discern and evaluate how this land use issue is handled in other jurisdictions; the table
below offers a summary of zoning for emergency shelters in other Coachella Valley
cities:

General Plan and Zoning Code Consistency:
The proposed amendment assists in implementing goals and action items listed in the
City's 2014 Housing Element, and will assist in obtaining certification for the element
from the California Department of Housing and Community Services. One of the goals
listed in the element is to "support emergency shelter and transitional housing
programs." Furthermore, one of the action items in the Housing Element specifically
requires that the City amend its zoning code to allow shelters by right in the M-2
(Manufacturing Zone) district. Allowing emergency shelters by right in industrial zoning
districts is a common zoning practice as noted in the previous summary table, and
inclusion of this use in the M-2 district is consistent with the broad spectrum of uses
already permitted in the district. Consequently, adoption of this amendment is
consistent with the policies and goals of the General Plan and the Zoning Code.
REQUIRED FINDINGS:
Pursuant to Section 94.07.01(A)(2) of the Palm Springs Zoning Code, any proposed
Zoning Code amendment shall make necessary findings to assure consistency with the
intent of the General Plan and the Zoning Code.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND DETERMINATION:
The Planning Department has reviewed the proposed project under the provisions of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Pursuant to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the proposed Zone Text Amendment
has been deemed a "project". Staff has determined that the proposed zone text
amendment (Case 5.1332-GPA/ZTA) may be deemed Categorically Exempt from the
provisions of CEQA under Section 15305 (Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) of
the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act since the amendment
proposes only minor changes to a single zoning category. Furthermore, pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines, every development application requires a separate environmental
assessment and determination prior to entitlement.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed amendment to the Palm Springs Zoning Code will bring the City into
compliance with required state law and land use regulations. In addition, the
amendment will implement the policies and goals of the City's General Plan and
Housing Element.

Dear Mr. Raymond:
RE: City of Palm Springs' 51h Cycle (2013.2021) Draft Housing Element Update
Thank you for submitting the City of Palm Springs' 5th cycle draft housing element
update received for review on October 17, 2013, along with additional revisions received
on December 10 and13, 2013. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65585(b),
the Department is reporting the results of the review. A telephone conversation on
December 10, 2013 and various other communications with Ms. Nicole Sauviat Criste,
the City's consultant, and Mr. Edward Robertson, Principal Planner, facilitated the review.
The revised draft element meets the statutory requirements of State housing element law.
This finding is based on, among other reasons, the City's commitments in early 2014 to
adopt the following: a density bonus ordinance, development standards for second units, a
reasonable accommodation provision and a zoning ordinance to allow transitional and
supportive housing to be treated as residential uses.
Please note, while the draft element meets the statutory requirements of State housing
element law, the Department cannot find the element in full compliance until the City of
Palm Springs amends its zoning ordinance to permit year-round emergency shelter(s)
without discretionary action pursuant to Government Code Section 65583(a)(4)(A), amended
by Senate Bill 2 (Chapter 633, Statutes of 2007). Program H83.7, Identified in the previous
element, committed to amend the zoning ordinance to permit emergency shelters without
discretionary action. The program to address the requirements of SB 2 for emergency
shelters should have been implemented within one year of adoption of the housing element.
As noted in the current element on page 3-41, Program HS3.7 has not been implemented.
To comply with housing element law, the City must complete its SB 2 zoning amendments
before submitting the adopted element for Department approval pursuant to Government
Code Section 65585(g).

Mr. Raymond, Director

Please note, to remain on an eight year housing element planning cycle, pursuant to
Senate Bill 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) Palm Springs must adopt its housing
element within 120 calendar days from the statutory due date of October 15, 2013 for
SCAG localities. If adopted after this date, the City will be required to revise the housing
element every four years until adopting at least two consecutive revisions by the statutory
deadline (Government Code Section 65588(e)(4)). For additional information on housing
element adoption requirements, please review the Department's website at:
http://www.hcd.ca.govlhpd/hroiblan/he/he review adootionsteosl10812.pdf.
Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing
element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element
process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that
represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly
available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate.
The Department is pleased to inform the City that prior 4m cycle housing element
compliance meets one of the threshold requirements of the Housing Related Parks (HRP)
Program which rewards local governments for approving housing affordable to lower-
income households. The HRP Program, funded by Proposition 1C, provides grant funds
to eligible local governments for every qualifying unit permitted since 2010. Grant awards
can be used to fund park-related capital asset projects. The HRP Program 2013 Notice
of Funding Availability (NOFA), released October 2, 2013, announced the availability
of$25 million in grant funds to eligible applicants. Applications are due January 22, 2014.
Further information about the HRP Program is available on the Department's website at
hftp://www.hcd.ca.govfhpd/h!pp .
The Department appreciates the hard work and dedication of Ms. Nicole Sauviat Criste in
preparation of the housing element and looks forward to receiving Palm Springs' adopted
housing element. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance,
please contact Fidel Herrera, of our staff, at (916) 263-7441.
Sincerely,
Glen A. Campora

The housing element shall consist of an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing
65583. needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, financial resources, and scheduled
programs for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing. The housing element
shall identify adequate sites for housing, including rental housing, factory-built housing,
mobilehomes, and emergency shelters, and shall make adequate provision for the existing and projected
needs of all economic segments of the community. The element shall contain all of the following:
(a) An assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints relevant to the meeting
of these needs. The assessment and inventory shall include all of the following:
(1) An analysis of population and employment trends and documentation of projections and a
quantification of the locality's existing and projected housing needs for all income levels, including
extremely low income households, as defined in subdivision (b) of Section 50105 and Section 50106 of
the Health and Safety Code. These existing and projected needs shall include the locality's share of the
regional housing need in accordance with Section 65584. Local agencies shall calculate the subset of
very low income households allotted under Section 65584 that qualify as extremely low income
households. The local agency may either use available census data to calculate the percentage of very
low income households that qualify as extremely low income households or presume that 50 percent of
the very low income households qualify as extremely low income households. The number of extremely
low income households and very low income households shall equal the jurisdiction's allocation of very
low income households pursuant to Section 65584.
(2) An analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of payment compared to
ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding, and housing stock condition.
(3) An inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having
potential for redevelopment, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and
services to these sites.
(4) (A) The identification of a zone or zones where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use
without a conditional use or other discretionary permit. The identified zone or zones shall include
sufficient capacity to accommodate the need for emergency shelter identified in paragraph (7), except
that each local government shall identify a zone or zones that can accommodate at least one year-round
emergency shelter. If the local government cannot identify a zone or zones with sufficient capacity, the
local government shall include a program to amend its zoning ordinance to meet the requirements of this
paragraph within one year of the adoption of the housing element. The local government may identify
additional zones where emergency shelters are permitted with a conditional use permit. The local 13
government shall also demonstrate that existing or proposed permit processing, development, and

management standards are objective and encourage and facilitate the development of, or conversion to,
emergency shelters. Emergency shelters may only be subject to those development and management
standards that apply to residential or commercial development within the same zone except that a local
government may apply written, objective standards that include all of the following:
(i) The maximum number of beds or persons permitted to be served nightly by the facility.
(ii) Off-street parking based upon demonstrated need, provided that the standards do not require more
parking for emergency shelters than for other residential or commercial uses within the same zone.
(iii) The size and location of exterior and interior onsite waiting and client intake areas.
(iv) The provision of onsite management.
(v) The proximity to other emergency shelters, provided that emergency shelters are not required to be
more than 300 feet apart.
(vi) The length of stay.
(vii) Lighting.
(viii) Security during hours that the emergency shelter is in operation.
(B) The permit processing, development, and management standards applied under this paragraph shall
not be deemed to be discretionary acts within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act
(Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code).
(C) A local government that can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department the existence of one or
more emergency shelters either within its jurisdiction or pursuant to a multijurisdictional agreement that
can accommodate that jurisdiction's need for emergency shelter identified in paragraph (7) may comply
with the zoning requirements of subparagraph (A) by identifying a zone or zones where new emergency
shelters are allowed with a conditional use permit.
(D) A local government with an existing ordinance or ordinances that comply with this paragraph shall
not be required to take additional action to identify zones for emergency shelters. The housing element
must only describe how existing ordinances, policies, and standards are consistent with the requirements
of this paragraph.
(5) An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or
development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1)
of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7),
including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other
exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The analysis shall also
demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting its
share of the regional housing need in accordance with Section 65584 and from meeting the need for
housing for persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters
identified pursuant to paragraph (7). Transitional housing and supportive housing shall be considered a
residential use of property, and shall be subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential
dwellings of the same type in the same zone.
(6) An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement,
or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land,
and the cost of construction.
(7) An analysis of any special housing needs, such as those of the elderly; persons with disabilities,
including a developmental disability, as defined in Section 4512 of the Welfare and Institutions Code;
large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of households; and families and persons in need
of emergency shelter. The need for emergency shelter shall be assessed based on annual and seasonal
14
http:IAaginfo.legislature.ca.gov/facesiprintCodeSecdmW i ridow.xhtmI 2f7
10/29/2014 leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/printCodeSectionW i ndow.xhtml
need. The need for emergency shelter may be reduced by the number of supportive housing units that
are identified in an adopted 10-year plan to end chronic homelessness and that are either vacant or for
which funding has been identified to allow construction during the planning period.
(8) An analysis of opportunities for energy conservation with respect to residential development. Cities
and counties are encouraged to include weatherization and energy efficiency improvements as part of
publicly subsidized housing rehabilitation projects. This may include energy efficiency measures that
encompass the building envelope, its heating and cooling systems, and its electrical system.
(9) An analysis of existing assisted housing developments that are eligible to change from low-income
housing uses during the next 10 years due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or
expiration of restrictions on use. "Assisted housing developments," for the purpose of this section, shall
mean multifamily rental housing that receives governmental assistance under federal programs listed in
subdivision (a) of Section 65863.10, state and local multifamily revenue bond programs, local
redevelopment programs, the federal Community Development Block Grant Program, or local in-lieu
fees. "Assisted housing developments" shall also include multifamily rental units that were developed
pursuant to a local inclusionary housing program or used to qualify for a density bonus pursuant to
Section 65916.
(A) The analysis shall include a listing of each development by project name and address, the type of
governmental assistance received, the earliest possible date of change from low-income use, and the total
number of elderly and nonelderly units that could be lost from the locality's low-income housing stock in
each year during the 10-year period. For purposes of state and federally funded projects, the analysis
required by this subparagraph need only contain information available on a statewide basis.
(B) The analysis shall estimate the total cost of producing new rental housing that is comparable in size
and rent levels, to replace the units that could change from low-income use, and an estimated cost of
preserving the assisted housing developments. This cost analysis for replacement housing may be done
aggregately for each five-year period and does not have to contain a project-by-project cost estimate.
(C) The analysis shall identify public and private nonprofit corporations known to the local government
which have legal and managerial capacity to acquire and manage these housing developments.
(D) The analysis shall identify and consider the use of all federal, state, and local financing and subsidy
programs which can be used to preserve, for lower income households, the assisted housing
developments, identified in this paragraph, including, but not limited to, federal Community
Development Block Grant Program funds, tax increment funds received by a redevelopment agency of
the community, and administrative fees received by a housing authority operating within the community.
In considering the use of these financing and subsidy programs, the analysis shall identify the amounts of
funds under each available program which have not been legally obligated for other purposes and which
could be available for use in preserving assisted housing developments.
(b) (1) A statement of the community's goals, quantified objectives, and policies relative to the
maintenance, preservation, improvement, and development of housing.
(2) It is recognized that the total housing needs identified pursuant to subdivision (a) may exceed
available resources and the community's ability to satisfy this need within the content of the general plan
requirements outlined in Article 5 (commencing with Section 65300). Under these circumstances, the
quantified objectives need not be identical to the total housing needs. The quantified objectives shall
establish the maximum number of housing units by income category, including extremely low income,
that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over a five-year time period.
(c) A program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for
implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be
beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking 5

or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the housing
element through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of regulatory
concessions and incentives, the utilization of appropriate federal and state financing and subsidy
programs when available, and the utilization of moneys in a Iow- and moderate-income housing fund of
an agency if the locality has established a redevelopment project area pursuant to the Community
Redevelopment Law (Division 24 (commencing with Section 33000) of the Health and Safety Code). In
order to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, the
program shall do all of the following:
(1) Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate
zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate that portion of the
city's or county's share of the regional housing need for each income level that could not be
accommodated on sites identified in the inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a)
without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as
needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels,
including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural
employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional
housing.
(A) Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), does not identify adequate
sites to accommodate the need for groups of all household income levels pursuant to Section 65584,
rezoning of those sites, including adoption of minimum density and development standards, for
jurisdictions with an eight-year housing element planning period pursuant to Section 65588, shall be
completed no later than three years after either the date the housing element is adopted pursuant to
subdivision (f) of Section 65585 or the date that is 90 days after receipt of comments from the
department pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 65585, whichever is earlier, unless the deadline is
extended pursuant to subdivision (f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a local government that fails to
adopt a housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline in Section 65588 for adoption of the
housing element, rezoning of those sites, including adoption of minimum density and development
standards, shall be completed no later than three years and 120 days from the statutory deadline in
Section 65588 for adoption of the housing element.
(B) Where the inventory of sites, pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a), does not identify adequate
sites to accommodate the need for groups of all household income levels pursuant to Section 65584, the
program shall identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period pursuant to
subdivision (h) of Section 65583.2. The identification of sites shall include all components specified in
subdivision (b) of Section 65583.2.
(C) Where the inventory of sites pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) does not identify adequate
sites to accommodate the need for farmworker housing, the program shall provide for sufficient sites to
meet the need with zoning that permits farmworker housing use by right, including density and
development standards that could accommodate and facilitate the feasibility of the development of
farmworker housing for low- and very low income households.
(2) Assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low, very low, low-,
and moderate-income households.
(3) Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental constraints to the
maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and
housing for persons with disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable
accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for,
persons with disabilities.
(4) Conserve and improve the condition of the existing affordable housing stock, which may include 16
http:IAeginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/prirACodeSectimW i ndow.xhtm I 4/7
10/29/2014 1eginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/printCodeSectiwWindm.xhtmI
addressing ways to mitigate the loss of dwelling units demolished by public or private action.
(5) Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status,
ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability.
(6) Preserve for lower income households the assisted housing developments identified pursuant to
paragraph (9) of subdivision (a). The program for preservation of the assisted housing developments shall
utilize, to the extent necessary, all available federal, state, and local financing and subsidy programs
identified in paragraph (9) of subdivision (a), except where a community has other urgent needs for
which alternative funding sources are not available. The program may include strategies that involve
local regulation and technical assistance.
(7) Include an identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the
various actions and the means by which consistency will be achieved with other general plan elements
and community goals.
(8) Include a diligent effort by the local government to achieve public participation of all economic
segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe
this effort.
(d) (1) A local government may satisfy all or part of its requirement to identify a zone or zones suitable
for the development of emergency shelters pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) by adopting and
implementing a multijurisdictional agreement, with a maximum of two other adjacent communities, that
requires the participating jurisdictions to develop at least one year-round emergency shelter within two
years of the beginning of the planning period.
(2) The agreement shall allocate a portion of the new shelter capacity to each jurisdiction as credit
towards its emergency shelter need, and each jurisdiction shall describe how the capacity was allocated
as part of its housing element.
(3) Each member jurisdiction of a multijurisdictional agreement shall describe in its housing element all
of the following:
(A) How the joint facility will meet the jurisdiction's emergency shelter need.
(B) The jurisdiction's contribution to the facility for both the development and ongoing operation and
management of the facility.
(C) The amount and source of the funding that the jurisdiction contributes to the facility.
(4) The aggregate capacity claimed by the participating jurisdictions in their housing elements shall not
exceed the actual capacity of the shelter.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this article, amendments to this article that alter the required content
of a housing element shall apply to both of the following:
(1) A housing element or housing element amendment prepared pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section
65588 or Section 65584.02, when a city, county, or city and county submits a draft to the department for
review pursuant to Section 65585 more than 90 days after the effective date of the amendment to this
section.
(2) Any housing element or housing element amendment prepared pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section
65588 or Section 65584.02, when the city, county, or city and county fails to submit the first draft to the
department before the due date specified in Section 65588 or 65584.02.
(f) The deadline for completing required rezoning pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (c) shall be extended by one year if the local government has completed the rezoning at
densities sufficient to accommodate at least 75 percent of the units for low- and very low income 17
households and if the legislative body at the conclusion of a public hearing determines, based upon
http:/Aegi nfo.legislature.ca.gw/facestprintCodeSectionW indow.xhtm1 517
10/29/2014 leginfo.legislature.ca.govtfaces/printCodeSe tonWindow.xhtml
substantial evidence, that any of the following circumstances exist:
(1) The local government has been unable to complete the rezoning because of the action or inaction
beyond the control of the local government of any other state, federal, or local agency.
(2) The local government is unable to complete the rezoning because of infrastructure deficiencies due to
fiscal or regulatory constraints.
(3) The local government must undertake a major revision to its general plan in order to accommodate
the housing-related policies of a sustainable communities strategy or an alternative planning strategy
adopted pursuant to Section 65080.
The resolution and the findings shall be transmitted to the department together with a detailed budget and
schedule for preparation and adoption of the required rezonings, including plans for citizen participation
and expected interim action. The schedule shall provide for adoption of the required rezoning within one
year of the adoption of the resolution.
(g) (1) If a local government fails to complete the rezoning by the deadline provided in subparagraph (A)
of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), as it may be extended pursuant to subdivision (f), except as provided
in paragraph (2), a local government may not disapprove a housing development project, nor require a
conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other locally imposed discretionary permit,
or impose a condition that would render the project infeasible, if the housing development project (A) is
proposed to be located on a site required to be rezoned pursuant to the program action required by that
subparagraph and (B) complies with applicable, objective general plan and zoning standards and criteria,
including design review standards, described in the program action required by that subparagraph. Any
subdivision of sites shall be subject to the Subdivision Map Act (Division 2 (commencing with Section
66410)). Design review shall not constitute a "project' for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with
Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
(2) A local government may disapprove a housing development described in paragraph (1) if it makes
written findings supported by substantial evidence on the record that both of the following conditions
exist:
(A) The housing development project would have a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or
safety unless the project is disapproved or approved upon the condition that the project be developed at a
lower density. As used in this paragraph, a "specific, adverse impact' means a significant, quantifiable,
direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified written public health or safety standards,
policies, or conditions as they existed on the date the application was deemed complete.
(B) There is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the adverse impact identified pursuant
to paragraph (1), other than the disapproval of the housing development project or the approval of the
project upon the condition that it be developed at a lower density.
(3) The applicant or any interested person may bring an action to enforce this subdivision. If a court finds
that the local agency disapproved a project or conditioned its approval in violation of this subdivision, the
court shall issue an order or judgment compelling compliance within 60 days. The court shall retain
jurisdiction to ensure that its order or judgment is carried out. If the court determines that its order or
judgment has not been carried out within 60 days, the court may issue further orders to ensure that the
purposes and policies of this subdivision are fulfilled. In any such action, the city, county, or city and
county shall bear the burden of proof.
(4) For purposes of this subdivision, "housing development project' means a project to construct
residential units for which the project developer provides sufficient legal commitments to the appropriate
local agency to ensure the continued availability and use of at least 49 percent of the housing units for
very low, low-, and moderate-income households with an affordable housing cost or affordable rent, as
