RE: SB 244:Laud Use Element Amendment Proposal
Dear Ken:
Tetra Nova is pleased to submit the following proposal to update the City's Land Use
Element to bring it into compliance with the requirements of Senate Bill 244. This law
requires amendment of the Land Use Element of the General Plan to identifv
'unincorporated hinge communities" in the City's Sphere of Influence, and determine
existing infrastructure. infrastructure needs for those communities, and the methods of
financing these needs. The Sphere of Influence areas located to the south and east of the
City are unpopulated and will not require analysis. However, the areas of the Sphere
located to the west and north of current City limits will need to be analyzed. and
discussions incorporated into the Land Use Element.
The law requires that the amendments to the Land Use Element be completed concurrent
with the update of the Housing Element. We have assumed that this amendment would
therefore be processed concurrent with the Housing Element. and have not included
additional or separate public hearings before the Planning Commission or City Council.
Should these become necessary. we will notify you in writing of the additional time and
costs.
To complete this work.we will:
• Develop additional text for the Land Use Element that identifies populated areas
of the Sphere of Influence(using data developed and available from LAFCo).
• Identifv water_ sewer. storm drainage and fire facilities currently existing. and
needs and deficiencies in these areas
• Provide a discussion of the potential finding mechanisms that could make
extension of services possible.
• The City,will be responsible for providing us with the most cusent Word version
of the Land Use Element. All changes will be completed in"Track Changes"for
ease of review by staff.the Planning Commission and the City Council.
• Provide final electronic document for integration into balance of the General Plan.

720599.1
It is assumed for purposes of this proposal that the item will be exempt from CEQA
under the General Rule.and Section 15262.
The project budget is as follows:
Research and documentation of Sphere of Influence in Land Use Element.
(12 hrs Ca W5il-fr.) $ 1.860.00
(20Ins C $135i11r.) $2,700.00
(321ns Ca $951Ir.) $ 3,W.00
Total Task Budget $7,600.00
Conclusion
I believe that the scope and budget prodded above accurately reflect the level of effort
that will be required to complete the amendments to the Land Use Element.
I look forward to discussing this project with you fiuther. If you have any questions or
require additional information..please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

RE: Housing Element Update Proposal
Dear Ken:
As discussed last month, Terra Nova is pleased to submit the following proposal to update the
City's Housing Element for the 2014-2021 planning period.As with the last update, this proposal
assumes that the policy direction and intent of the Housing Element remains the same,and that this
update will address the City's new Regional Housing Needs Assessment, updated statistical
information and changes in law, but will otherwise remaim the same. We have also assumed that
the State's Streamlining Program can be used for this update.
The City updated its Flousing Element and received California Department of Dousing and
Community Development (HCD) 'certification' for the document in 2010. The current Housing
Element addresses the 2006 through 2013 planning period, and has been adopted by the City
Council. No re-zoning was required to meet the City's RHNA, but zone text amendments were
required.For purposes of this proposal,it is assumed that those amendments have.been completed,
or will be completed by the City prior to the end of this year.
The current Housing Element was based on 2000 Census data,because 2010 Census data was not
available at the time of its drafting.The update will need to include 2010 Census information.
The Draft RHNA for the 2014-2021 planning period has been released, and decreases the City's
RMA target to 272 units.The City will therefore be able to reduce its site inventory,and should
be able to meet its RHNA allocation with less land that currently required.
The Housing Element will need to address the loss of Redevelopment Agency activities, funding
and participation. As changes in law continue to unfold, it is currently difficult to determine how
these items will be addressed.The Housing Element draft will need some flexibility to incorporate
changes as they occur.
Finally, State law now requires that the Housing Element be adopted within 120 days of October
2013,in order to avoid penalties. Our proposed schedule works to adopt the Element in plenty of
time to meet that requirement. We have estimated that HCD's review of the Update should not
require more than two submittals.

Task Outline and Schedule of Work
We believe that the Housing Element Update should not incorporate any significant changes in
Policy direction,and have identified the following critical tasks as part of the Update effort These
tasks are directly tied to the schedule and the estimate of man-hours hours provided below.
• Review existing policies and programs, and develop analysis of progress made in
addressing each of theta. Identify policies and programs that require carry-over into the
Update,eliminate those that have been completed,and determine new programs that may
be necessary for the 2014-2021 planning period. This task will also address the loss of
Redevelopment,insofar as the assignment of responsibility for programs will need to be
shifted elsewhere.
• Update demographic section to include 2010 Census information,and where appropriate
more recent information (such as Department of Finance, current housing stock and
values,etc.).
• Work with staff to determine what sites will be needed in the vacant lands inventory to
meet the City's reduced RHNA.
• in compliance with SB 512, expand the Special Housing Needs Assessment to include
persons with developmental disabilities. Research will focus on existing agencies
providing services,including DesertArc,Angel View and others.
Revise programs to meet requirements of SB 375, defining timelines for programs to
ensure implementation with beneficial impacts during the program period (Programs
currently shown as "On-going" will require more specific identification and
quantification of benefits within the 2014-2021 planning period.)
• Update goals, policies and programs to reflect elimination of Redevelopment Agency.
Work closely with staff in incorporating any changes in legislation that might protect
housing funds or re-institute housing funds in the Update.
• In coordination with City Staff, prepare for, coordinate and staff two community
workshops(primarily geared toward stakeholders such as affordable housing developers,
public agency staffs,etc.).
• Coordinate response to comments from HCD with City staff, and draft modifications to
Update as necessary.
Prepare CEQA Initial Study and Checklist, Negative Declaration and public notice
documentation.Provide to City staff for circulation to responsible agencies.
•. Coordinate with staff in the preparation of staff reports and resolutions.

RE: Housing Element Update
Dear Craig:
As you know, we have recently submitted our second draft of the Housing Element for review by
the Department of Housing and Community Development. Their response is expected by mid-
June. I am hopeful that this will be our final round, and that we will be found compliant.
Following that finding, we will need to prepare the Negative Declaration/Initial Study, and
process the Housing Element through the Planning Commission and the City Council. I would
expect that we will complete the process by September or October.
As our contract time period expires shortly, we would respeetfully request an extension to the
contract through October, 2009.
Sincerely,

RE: Housing Element Update Proposal
Dear Ken-
Following our recent telephone conversations, please find below our scope of work and budget
for the updating of the Housing Element of the General Plan. It is our understanding that the City
has only recently adopted its Housing Element as part of the General Plan.The Housing Element
contained the 1998-2006 planning period Regional Housing Needs Assessment(RI-INA), and has
been determined consistent with State law by the Department of Housing and Community
Development(HCD). The Element does not, however, reflect changes in the law since the 1998-
2006 planning period, or the City's 2006-2014 RHNA allocation. The City wishes to update the
Element to make it consistent with requirements of the current planning period, but otherwise
does not wish Co substantively change the Element. it has been assumed that the City will be able
to provide parcel-level mapping from its General Plan land use map, for use in the available site
analysis- It is also assumed that the City would furnish Terra Nova with electronic copies, in
Word,of the current Housing Clement.
Scope of Work
➢ Establish meeting schedule for City staff/Terra Nova meetings, status meetings and
public workshops.
➢ With City staff assistance, develop a stakcholdcr's list of agencies, persons and
organizations with an interest in affordable housing issues. Develop materials publicizing
two public workshops for proposes of gathering data and input on the amendment of the
Element.
➢ Progress made toward meeting the goals and policies of the existing element will be
quantified, and provided in a"review and revise section". Potential preservation methods
available to insure the long terra viability of at-risk units will be presented.
➢ Update demographics in the Element to include data available for 2006 or 2007, from
third party sources other than the Census. Not all information can be updated, but items
such as population, housing sales prices,rentals,etc.,will be updated.
i Update land use designation and acreage from General Plan Land Use Map. The analysis
will lead to a section which identires adequate available lands to meet the RHNA

allocation- Working with City staff, identify specific parcels available for affordable
housing projects, and determine whether their zoning is appropriate for the use- Quantify
available lands and assure that sufficient Iands are identified to meet the 2006-2014
RHNA allocation.
➢ Incorporate Southern California Association of Governments RiTKA allocation for the
City into Element text, and modify needs analysis for future housing based on the
allocation. Coordinate RHNA allocation with City and establish strategies to help achieve
allocation goals.
➢ Incorporate RDA housing data to the extent the City is actively pursuing housing
programs. Coordinate financial data and incorporate into the Element
^r Update goals, policies and programs to reflect current R14NA allocation. The policy
direction of the Housing Element is not expected to change- The issue of adequaie lands,
and reflecting the new RHNA allocation,will be the focus of this task.
➢ Prepare sereenclieck draft Element for staff review and approval. Amend draft Housing
Element as required,and submit to NCD COT review.
➢ Conduct third community workshop,presenting the draft Element to the community, and
reviewing the highlights of the policy direction with the public. This may be held as a
joint Planning Commission/City Council workshop, in order to familiarize these two
bodies in the document and its process.
j ➢ Track HCD review process, and facilitate provision of any additional information or
explanation of methodology, as required. The goal is to receive conditional approval of
the Element by FICD prior to its submittal to the Planning Commission and City Council
for their actions.
➢ Make changes zequircd by HCD, after review and approval by City staff, We would
assume one revision ro accommodate HCD comments.
➢ Prepare CEQA Initial Study Checklist (IS), Negativc Declaration and public notice
documentation. Provide to City for posting and advertising in Desert Sun.
➢ Prepare, in cooperation with City staff, Planning Commission and City Council staff
reports, in a format acceptable to the City. Working with City staff, make presentation
and answer questions at one Planning Commission and one City Council hearing. Prepare
any amendments made by City Council action, and submit to HCD for certification.
➢ Provide City with final electronic document for City's integration into the General Plan-
