A Housing Element is to identify sites and establish policies to enable a city to accommodate the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation to meet the needs of existing and future residents. With reflection on the characteristics of a city, a Housing Element establishes policies that will guide decision making and sets forth programs with quantified objectives. These commitments are required in furtherance of the statewide goal of, "early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family." The City retained Veronica Tam and Associates, Inc., and began preparation of the 6th Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element (the Housing Element Update) in Spring 2021. After a presentation to the City Council, and a Housing Workshop, a Draft Housing Element was made available for public review from April 29 to May 30, 2022, and the Draft was AGENDA ITEM NO. 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element- Adoption November 7, 2023 Page 2of4 submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review on June 15, 2022. HCD provided comments on September 1, 2022, and the Revised Draft Housing Element was prepared and made available for public review on February 27, 2023, and sent to HCD on April 6, 2023. HCD sent additional comments, and after meetings with the City Council in. July 2023, the Revised Draft Housing Element was further revised in August, posted on the City website, and sent to HCD. HCD contacted City staff with preliminary comments, and met with City staff on October 10, 2023, to discuss the comments. City staff and HCD agreed on final revisions needed for approval, and on October 11, 2023, the final revised 6th Cycle Housing Element was posted = see Exhibit A of the attached Resolution No. 23-22 (Attachment 4 2). HCD provides a Housing Element Completeness Checklist - see Exhibit B of Resolution 23-22, that outlines the requirements for a Housing Element to conform with State Housing Element Law. On October 19, 2023, HCD issued the attached letter (Attachment 1) stating that the Housing Element Update meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. It is recommended that the City Council approve the 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element Update and adopt the attached Resolution No. 23-22. PROPOSED HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE State Housing Element law requires that each city develop local housing programs that will enable it to meet its fair share of current and future housing needs for all income groups. This fair share is established through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) that is determined by a Council of Governments (SCAG) and allocates a regional share to the various jurisdictions. Table III-1 on Page II-2 oft the Housing Element Update presents the following 2021-2029 RHNA allocation for the City of Bradbury: Income Level Extremely Low Very Low Low Moderate Above Moderate Total Percent Area Median Income 0-30% 31-50% 51-80% 81-120% >120% No. of Units 8 8 9 9 7 41 Percent 19.5 19.5 22 22 17 100 Through the public participation and review processes, concern was expressed about the City'sability to accommodate the additional housing because oft the unique characteristics of the City. In response to these concerns and in light of the Housing Element requirements, the City amended the provisions for SRO housing by requiring that cooking facilities be included sO that they function as adequate living units, and the Cityy will amend the Affordable Housing Overlay zone, and place the Overlay on a portion of the Civic Center to provide an opportunity to develop multi-family affordable housing see Program 6: Multi-Family Housing on Page VI-6 of the attached Housing Element Update. The Revised Draft 2021-2029 Housing Element presents and discusses the City's demographics, and the constraints and resources that relate to the production of housing, 2021-2029 6th Cycle Housing Element- Adoption November 7, 2023 Page 3 of4 such as the minimal amount of vacant land, the combination of high land and construction costs, and the significant hazards of wildfires and earthquakes. Despite the constraints, the Housing Element Update has been prepared to provide for adequate opportunities to meet the City's RHNA allocation. It is expected that this will primarily be through the For the Housing Element Update, it is required that a specific site in the City be identified and zoned for affordable housing. The Civic Center is the one property that the City has control over, and therefore can be readily designated for affordable housing. In 2018, the Land Use Element was amended to place the. Affordable Housing Overlay designation on the entire Civic Center property. It is required that this site be able to accommodate 18 multi-family units and a 6-person emergency shelter. Since City Hall is not likely to be relocated, having the Affordable Housing Overlay designation on the entire Civic Center property is unrealistic. Iti is therefore to be replaced with a new affordable housing overlay titled, Affordable Housing Civic Center Overlay (AHCCO) that is to be placed on the rear/easterly 0.68-acre portion of the Civic Center property. An ordinance will create the The Planning Commission held a public hearing on September 27, 2023, at which time the Commission adopted Resolution No. PC: 23-316, recommending that the City Council development of secondary and accessory dwelling units. new AHCCO zone and apply it to the rear of the Civic Center site. adopt the Housing Element Update. FINANCIAL REVIEW There will be no additional financial cost to the City associated with adoption of the Housing Element Update as the amendments implement what the City is already required to do by State law. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The City, through Veronica Tam and Associates, Inc., retained Recon Environmental, Inc. to prepare the environmental documentation for the Housing Element Update and related actions. This began with the Initial Study Checklist, and two environmental factors, Cultural Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources were identified as potentially affected, but which would not be significant with mitigation measures. The other topic areas were all of less than significant impact. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared, along Prior tot this item, the City Council will have considered the environmental documents and ift they are found to be adequate, the Council will have adopted Resolution No. 23-211 to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.

The California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) also received revisions on October 19, 2023 that were made available to the public for seven days. Pursuant to Government Code section The revised draft element, incorporating the revisions submitted, meets the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law described in HCD's June 5, 2023 review. However, the housing element cannot be found in substantial compliance until the City has completed necessary rezones to make priori identified sites available or address the shortfall of sites to accommodate the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021) as described below. The housing element will substantially comply with State Housing Element Law (Gov. Code, S 65580 et seq) when the necessary rezoning is complete and the element is adopted, submitted to, and approved by HCD, in accordance with Government Code Pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), a jurisdiction that failed to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline cannot be found in compliance until rezones to make prior identified sites available or accommodate a shortfall of sites are completed pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c) (1) (A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c). As this year has passed and Program 5 (Sites Inventory) has not been completed, the housing element will remain out of compliance until the rezoning has been completed. Once the City completes the rezone, a copy oft the resolution or ordinance should be transmitted to HCD. HCD will review the documentation and issue correspondence identifying the updated status oft the City's housing element compliance. Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element 65585, HCD is reporting the results of its review. section 65585.

The City can reach out to HCD at sitesinventory@hed ca.gov for technical assistance. Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant, the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities program, and HCD's Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources. For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance.

Purpose The Housing Element of the Bradbury General Plan identifies and establishes the City's policies with respect to meeting the needs of existing and future residents. It establishes policies that will guide City decision-making and sets forth an action plan including quantified objectives to implement its housing goals over the 2021-2029 Housing Element planning period. These commitments are in furtherance of the statewide housing goal of "early attainment of decent housing and a suitable living environment for every California family," as well as a reflection of the characteristics unique to the City ofl Bradbury. B. Public Participation The City of] Bradbury began the Housing Element update process in Spring 2021. An introductory presentation was made before the City Council on April 20, 2021. The meeting provided an overview oft the Housing Element requirements and offered the public an opportunity to provide input. In addition to announcing the meeting on the City's website, a special flyer was prepared and sent to agencies and organizations that serve special needs populations in the region, market- rate and affordable housing developers in the region, and agenciesindividuals that have provided comments to the City's Housing Element update. The flyer and mailing list are included in Appendix A. During the meeting, the public was concerned about the City's limited potential for additional housing growth. The City conducted a second Housing Workshop on March 7,2022 to discuss the provisions for single-room occupancy (SRO) units and SRO developments. In addition, the City has conducted discussions with the City Council on various housing topics: March 1, 2021 - Kickoff of Housing Element update and potential challenges February 7,2022-F Re-initiation ofthel Housing Element update after delays due to staffing The Draft Housing Element was made available for Public Review from April 29, 2022 to May 30,2022. The draft was posted in the City's website and stakeholders were notified. A copy oft the constraints Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapterl Page. 11 Housing Element 2021-2029 Introduction notice is found in Appendix A. The Draft was submitted to) HCD for review on June 15, 2022.A Revised Draft Housing Element was prepared to respond to HCD's comments (received September 1,2 2022). The Revised Draft was available for public review on February 27. 2023 and sent to HCD on April 6. 2023. HCD sent another comment letter and additional revisions were made. These changes were discussed at Special Study Sessions of the City Council on. July 6.2 2023 and July 26, 2023. The Revised Draft was available for public review on August 15. 2023 and sent toHCD on August 22, 2023. Pursuant to SB 1087, the City will provide the adopted Housing Element to its water and sewer During the various public meetings, thej public has expressed concerns regarding the City's ability to accommodate additional housing given its unique characteristics. Ini response to these concerns while addressing Housing Element requirements, the Cityrevised the provisions for SRO housing (tor require cooking facilities and therefore can function as an adequate living unit) and will amend the Affordable Housing Overlay to permit multi-family affordable housing development (see service providers. Program 5 in the Housing Plan section of this Housing Element C. Consistency with State Planning Law and General Plan The Housing Element is one of the eight General Plan elements mandated by the State of California, as articulated in Chapters 65580 to 65589.8 of the Government Code. State Law requires that the Housing Element consist of "an identification and analysis of existing and projected housing needs and a statement of goals, policies, quantified objectives, and scheduled programs for the preservation, improvement and development of housing." The residential character of the City is, largely, determined by the variety of its housing and the location and maintenance oft the housing. The Housing Element represents an effort toj provide housing for all The Housing Element of the General Plan is only one facet of a City's planning program. The California Government Code requires that General Plans contain an integrated, consistent set of goals and policies. The Housing Element is, therefore, affected by development policies contained in the Land Use Element, which establishes the location, type, intensity and distribution of land uses throughout the City. The Circulation Element establishes policies for providing essential streets and roadways to all housing that is developed. The policies that are contained in other economic segments oft the population. elements oft the General Plan affect the quality ofl life that citizens expect. Housing Element. 2021-2029 Chapterl Page I-2 Housing Element 2021-2029 Introduction As part of this Housing Element update, the City reviewed the General Plan and its implementing Zoning Code for consistency with this Housing Element update. In September 2022, the City amended the Zoning Code to address the provision of SRO developments. The City will also amend the Zoning Code in 2023 to address to provision of adequate sites for RHNA As portions of the General Plan may be amended in the future, the elements of the General Plan, including the Housing Element, will be continuously reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained. D. Housing Element Planning Period State law requires that a jurisdiction evaluate its housing element according to a schedule established for each region in the State to determine its effectiveness in achieving City and State housing goals and objectives, and to adopt an updated Housing Element that reflects the results of this evaluation. Pursuant to the update cycle for jurisdictions within the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region, Bradbury's Housing Element update covers the eight-year, 2021-2029 planning period. E. Housing Element Organization California Government Code Section 65583 requires the Housing Element to include the following components: Areview of the previous element's goals, policies, programs, and objectives to ascertain the effectiveness of each of these components, as well as an assessment of the overall An assessment of housing needs and an inventory of resources and constraints related to A statement of community goals, quantified objectives, and policies relative to the Ap program which sets forth an eight-year schedule of actions that the City is undertaking, ori intends to undertake, in implementing the policies set forth in the Housing Element. Chapter I provides an overview oft the scope and purpose oft the Housing Element including a summary oft the public participation and consistency with the General Plan; Chapter II presents the Demographic Characteristics profile which provides an overview of population, employment and housing characteristics in the City; Chapter mI identifies existing and future housing needs, including special needs populations; Chapter IV examines Housing Constraints and Resources that either facilitate or impede Chapter V provides ai review of the 2013-2021 Housing Element Performance; effectiveness oft the Housing Element. meeting these needs. maintenance, preservation, improvement and development of] housing. Thel Housing Element is divided into six chapters: housing development ini the City; Housing. Element 2021-2029 Chapterl Page I-3 Housing Element 2021-2029 Introduction Chapter VI is the community's statement of housing policies and describes the housing programs that will be implemented in order to achieve these goals and policies. This Chapter also contains Bradbury's Quantified Objectives for the Housing Element 2021-2029 planning period. F. Information Resources A number ofs sources were used in preparing the Housing Element update. These include: American Community Survey (ACS)2015-2019 five-year estimates Population and housing estimates from the State Department of Finance Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) prepared by HUD (based on 2014-2018 ACS) City records City development standards derived from the City's Municipal Code SCAG's Pre-Certified Local Housing Profiles The regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) was developed by the Southern California Association ofGovernments (SCAG). All data related to existing housing andi residential building sites was obtained from City records. Information regarding development fees charged by other cities was obtained from their planning departments. G. The Unique Character of the City of Bradbury Although many cities can state that they have unique qualities that will shape the future development of that city, the City of Bradbury is clearly distinctive among the other cities in Los Angeles County. The City of! Bradbury is located in the foothills oft the Angeles National Forest and contains only 1.9 square miles of land area (1,216 acres). Twenty-five percent of the City (approximately 301 acres) is vacant steep hillside that is not easily accessible and devoid ofp public infrastructure. This environmentally sensitive area contains protected ridgelines and riparian habitat, and consists ofs seven (Z) parcels toward the City's northern boundary adjacent to the City of Monrovia to the west, the City of Duarte to the east, and the Angeles National Forest to the north. The General Plan Land Use Map identifies this area as Open Space, Privately Owned Virtually the entire City is located in a very high fire hazard severity zone. The natural hazards, the steep topography and environmental sensitivity have a significant impact on the planned land uses and densities. The entire City is planned and zoned for single-family residential development, with a majority of the land area located within gate guarded private estate neighborhoods. The City does not contain any multi-family residential zones or commercially or industrially zoned property, and accommodates multi-family rental housing through single-room occupancy (SRO) developments typically used to house on-site equestrian or agricultural employees. The City provides zoning for 7,500 and 20,000 square foot parcels as well as one-, two-, and five-acre The City of Bradbury has not experienced substantial population growth for several decades as it isap primarily built-out community. The lack ofvacant parcels ofland has limited the City's ability Undeveloped, having ai maximum density of one dwelling unit per five acres. parcels. Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapterl Page I-4 Housing Element 2021-2029 Introduction tol build housing for new residents. Future growth is expected to remain relatively low because the number of developable parcels ofland is continually diminishing. Nonetheless, the community recognizes that it has ai role inj providing opportunities to address the City's "fairs share"ofregional housing. During this housing element cycle, the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) assigned by SCAG is 41 units, in the following income distribution: Very Low Income (0-50 percent Area Median Income) - 161 units (39 percent) Low Income (51-80 percent Area Median Income) - 91 units (22 percent) Moderate Income (81-120 percent Area Median Income) -91 units (22 percent) Above Moderate Income (above 120 percent Area Median Income) - 71 units (171 percent) A significant portion of the community is located within private gated neighborhoods. The circulation systems within these communities are comprised primarily ofnarrowj private roads that havej paved widths ofbetween 15 and 201 feet. Thej private streets arei maintained by thel homeowner associations. Water, gas, electric, and telephone utilities are available to all areas ofthe community with the exception ofthe approximately 302 acres ofvacants steep hillside property located adjacent to the Angeles National Forest. The majority ofthe existing 400 dwelling units have private septic sewer systems. The lack of public sewers constrains the community's density. Therefore, the City focuses its efforts in meeting the RHNA through the provision of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUS) and has modified the requirements of SRO housing to address its lower and moderate Since there is only ai minimal amount of vacant land in the City for new residential development, and the combination of land values and construction costs render these potential properties as above market rate properties, future affordable housing needs must be provided primarily through the development ofr new accessory dwelling units. Natural hazards such as wildfires, earthquakes, earth movement, flooding, and windstorms are significant occurrences that constrain the City's land use and density opportunities. Narrow public and private roads, and marginal fire flows have income housing needs. a direct bearing on the land uses and densities adopted by the community.

Population An accurate assessment of existing and future residents' housing needs in the City of Bradbury forms the basis for establishing program priorities and quantified objectives in the Housing Element. This chapter presents statistical information and analyses of demographic and housing factors that influence the demand for, and availability of, affordable housing. The focus of this chapter is to identify the need for housing according to income level and by special needs groups. Most ofthe data presented is based on the 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS). Other data sources include the U.S. Department of Housing and' Urban Development (HUD), and data According to the 2015-2019 ACS, thej population oft the City ofBradbury was 833 persons. Ofthis total, 398 arei males (47.8 percent), and 435 (52.2 percent) are females. At thet time ofincorporation in 1957, the Cityl had 5181 residents. In the 53 years between incorporation and the 2015-20194 ACS, the City's population grew by 315 individuals to a total of 833 persons, or an increase of 60.8 collected by the City ofl Bradbury. percent. B. Age Distribution Age distribution is an important characteristic because housing demand within the market is influenced by the housing preferences of various distinct age groups. The 2015-2019 ACS indicated that the median age in the City is 46.2 years. This figure is significantly higher than the Los Angeles County median age of 36.5 years (2015-2019 ACS). Demand for housing that responds to the young adult population (18-34 years) traditionally takes the form of apartments, low to moderate cost condomintums, and smaller single-family units; while middle-age adults (35-64 years) generate a demand for moderate to high cost apartments, condominiums, and larger single-family units. Traditionally, seniors (age 65+) tend to live in older, larger houses that have been the property of their households for extended periods. However, as residents age, they can also generate a demand for low to moderate cost apartments, condominiums, group quarters, and manufactured or mobile homes. Table II-1 shows the age distribution of the City of] Bradbury in 2019. As shown, children 17 years and younger comprise approximately 17 percent of Bradbury's population while more than half oft the City's residents are age 45 and older (52.7 percent). Housing.

The cultural influences of ethnicity often reflect the preferences for housing type, location ofhousing, associated services, and household composition. For example, the concept of "extended family" can have implications on the definition of overcrowding and housing conditions. While the City of Bradbury continues to have a predominately white population (45.1 percent), the 2015-2019 ACS documents 37.5 percent of the residents as Asian/Pacific Islander, and 14.9 percent as Hispanic. The City's ethnic and racial characteristics are summarized in' Table II-2: TABLEII-2 RACE AND ETHNICITY-2019 Racial/Ethnic Group White Asian/Pacific Islander Hispanic African.

II-2 Housing Element 2021-2029 D. Household Income Demographic Characteristics Income is the most important factor in determining whether a household or family is able to balance housing costs with basic necessities ofl life while avoiding housing problems such as cost burden and overcrowding. The income characteristics not only influence the range of housing prices in the community, but also the ability of the population to obtain affordable housing. According to the 2015-2019, ACS, the estimated median income inl Bradbury was $146,250, which wast twice the $72,797 median income ofLos. Angeles County. This underscores the City'srelative For planning and funding purposes, the California State Department of] Housing and Community Development (HCD) has developed the following income categories based on the Area Median affluence compared to the region. Income (AMI) ofar metropolitan area (such as Los Angeles County): Extremely Low Income: households earning up to 30 percent of the. AMI Very Low Income: households earning between 31 and 50 percent oft the. AMI Low Income: households earning between 51 percent and 80 percent oft the. AMI Moderate Income: households earning between 81 percent and 120 percent oft the AMI Above Moderate Income: households earning over 120 percent oft the AMI Combined, the extremely low, very low-, and low-income groups are referred to as lower income. The Census does not collect information on the number of households belonging to each of the income categories described above. However, household income data was tabulated by HUD for 2014-2018 (Table II-3). As shown below, between 2014-2018, approximately 26 percent of the City's households earned lower incomes, while approximately 74 percent earned incomes of moderate or above.

AMI and use different terminology. For example, the Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program refers households with incomes between 51 and 80 percent AMI as moderate income (compared tol low income based on State definition). Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter. II Page II-3 Housing Element 2021-2029 E. Employment Trends Demographic Characteristics Employment characteristics are important to housing market analysis because employment is directly related to income and the ability to afford housing. In addition, the relationship between the location ofhousing and thel location ofemployment. has an impact upon transportation systems, which can impact the location ofa affordable housing. The only employment opportunities within the City ofBradbury are those: related to agricultural uses, and domestic services and maintenance. According to the 2015-2019 ACS, there were 426 persons 16 years and older in the labor force. Oft this total, 417 were employed and 9 were unemployed. Ofall employed persons 16 years and older, the type of employment, by industry, as identified in the 2015-2019 ACS, is shown in the following Table II-4. Given that 20 percent ofthe City's population are age 65 and older, it can be assumed that a substantial portion of those individuals not employed (not in labor force) were As indicated in Table II-4, residents of Bradbury are employed in a variety of industries. The highest percentage of residents are in the following industries: 25.2 percent are employed in education, health and social services; 19.6 percent of residents are involved in management or professional specialties; 9.8 percent ofresidents work ini manufacturing, 8.9 percent are employed in finance, insurance and real estate; and 7.9 percent are in other services besides public administration. While the Census identifies 15 persons employed in farming, forestry or fishing industries, City business license records identify at least six (6) farms in the City, employing an estimated 13 helpers. Staff observed that these farm workers either live in Accessory Dwelling Units on the property, or in single rooms attached to thel house or other accessory buildings. retired. In 2019, the overall unemployment rate was 2.1percent.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) also projects stable levels ofemployment in] Bradbury, with SCAG's 2020-2045 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy showing no change in the 200 jobs in The majority of Bradbury residents work in other parts of the metropolitan Los Angeles area as there are: few opportunities outside ofservice, agricultural, and domestic maintenance employment within the City. The City has no commercial zones or business districts, and therefore it is not a viable location for retail or ofhice/professional businesses. The City's steep topography and lack of infrastructure restricts or precludes traditional commercial and industrial urban land uses. Nearby communities such as Monrovia, Arcadia, and Duarte have boundaries that extend beyond the hillside areas and include freeways and arterial streets that run throughout the San Gabriel valley, allowing these cities to have commercial and industrial employment opportunities. These nearby communities have access to regional transportation and have large commercial and industrial areas that provide opportunities for economic expansion and income growth. The City Bradbury from 20161 to 2045.2 of] Bradbury's] primary revenue source is] property tax. F. Household Types Table II-5 shows the household types in Bradbury. The vast majority (89 percent) ofl households are families. Ofthe 241 family households, 174 do not have children under the age of1 181 living at home.

Owner-occupied housing units had an average household size of 3.26 persons per household, which was larger than the 2.33 persons per household ofrenter-occupied units. G.I Existing Housing Stock in Bradbury The 2015-2019 ACS identified a total of 385 dwelling units in Bradbury, a 92 percent increase since 200 dwelling units were recorded in 1970. (This does not include 50 units that were reportedly lost in the wildfires ofl November 1980). As shown in Table II-6, the vast majority (97 percent) oft the housing in the City are single-family, detached units.

Only four percent ofl Bradbury's vacant units are for rent. The remaining 45 percent of vacant units are classified as "other" by the ACS andi include units held for settlement of an estate. held for personal reasons, orl held for repairs, The vacancy rate of30 percent in Bradbury is abnormally high. Comparatively, the vacancy rate countywide is only 6.4 percent. The vacancy rate in Bradbury was only 12.7 percent in 2010, according to 2006-2010 ACS estimates. The vacancy rate countywidei increased only slightly, from 6.1 percent, during the same period. The homeowner vacancy rate in Bradbury, or vacant homes for sale, is 8.9 percent. The rental vacancy rate, or units for rent, is also 8.9 percent according to the 2015-2019 ACS. The City is characterized by a large number of foreign owners who do not occupy, or occupy only sometimes, the property they own. These are often larger estates where among other reasons (see note 1 on Table II-7). the owners have no interest in redevelopment.

See: htps/www.censuss mhasiahsintiant Source: 2015-2019ACS., The condition of existing housing stock is determined by its age, quality of original construction, and continued level ofr maintenance. Favorable housing conditions enhance neighborhood quality, which in turn promotes housing maintenance and improvement. Quality housing stock also correlates with the income and social stability of a neighborhood and the entire community. According to the City of Bradbury Municipal Code, a substandard building is any building or structure in such condition that is defective, unsightly, or in such condition of deterioration or disrepair that it causes, or may be reasonably expected to cause, any diminution of the values of adjacent properties, or to the City as a whole, or its residents, or that interferes with the peaceful use, possession, or enjoyment of such properties, or improvements on such adjacent lots. Oft the 385 dwelling units in Bradbury identified by the 2015-2019. ACS, 229 (59.5 percent) were built prior to 1990 and are now over 30 years old. Oft those units, 189 units are over: 50 years old. Though units that are at least 30 years old usually need some replacement of systems (roof, plumbing, electrical). The units in Bradbury were custom built and have been well maintained. The 2015-2019 ACS shows that all occupied housing units have complete plumbing facilities and only three units (one percent of occupied housing units) lack complete kitchen facilities. According to the City's Building Official, the majority of the City's housing stock is in good-to- fair condition, and very few housing units are not in full compliance with the applicable Building and Safety Codes, and related local ordinances. The City estimates that approximately ten percent ofthe homes built prior to 1970 (50+ years in age) arei ini need ofs some level ofrehabilitation. This equates to approximately 19 units. No units have been identified as being in need of replacement. In 2013, the City of Bradbury adopted an ordinance enacting the Mills Act.

Thei majority ofh housing units in the City use private septic systems to handle effluent. In 2021, of the City's 349 parcels, 132 parcels are connected to the sewer system (37.8 percent) and 217 (62.2 percent) are not. The majority oft the units connected to sewers are in the south and south-eastern portions oft the City. H. Single Room Occupancy Units and Accessory Dwelling Units Nearly half of the dwelling units in Bradbury are located on two- to five-acre agricultural estate parcels. These properties often contain secondary living quarters (SLQs) on the same parcel with the main dwelling unit and have been allowed for decades. The SLQs range from a few hundred square feet to 2,500 square feet. The SLQs do not have separate addresses and the utilities are often obtained through the meters installed to service the main dwelling unit. Occupants of these SLQs range from extended family members to individuals engaged in the care and maintenance of the main dwelling, the grounds or the agriculuralequestrian activities on the property. SLQs are often considered as affordable because they can be occupied by individuals and families that qualify as The larger estate dwelling units may also contain guest rooms and maid's quarters, usually in the form ofs single room occupancy (SRO) units.. Although these existing SRO: facilities usually doi not contain complete kitchens, they do provide living and sleeping accommodations for thej personnel The City added Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUS) and. Junior. Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUS) in accordance with State law, but has not yet received an application for an ADU or JADU. This may be because the City has allowed secondary dwelling units that are the equivalent of ADUS Ins September 2022, the City amended the Zoning Code to require SRO units toi include plumbing and cooking facilities to function as a dwelling unit under the California Building Code standards. Single SRO units are no longer permitted. Instead, SRO developments of2 or more units are permitted in all agricultural zones in the City. SRO units are now also permitted to be used as rentals. The maximum SRO unit size has also increased to 300 square feet (increasing from the current 250 square feet). SRO units are the most feasible option to provide affordable accommodation for lower income households (including extremely low income). The ability of the City to accommodate more conventional types of affordable housing is constrained by a variety of factors. The hillside character oft the community does not lend itselfto high density zoning or development. Land cost is high, and the community lacks public sewers and public storm drain facilities. Private streets are narrow and semi-improved. Conventional curbs, gutters, and sidewalks are non-existent in the private gated areas. The community is subject to several significant natural hazards such as wildfires, windstorms, earthquakes, and flooding. High density development, mixed use development, and multiple-family development are not generally options available to the City for the provision of affordable housing. However, the City very low and low income households. employed on site. and. JADUS for many years.

Between 1994 and 2014, 36 additional second units had been approved, bringing the total to 97. Between 2014 and 2021, the City added seven secondary units, bringing the total to 104.

Housing Affordability The costs of home ownership and renting can be compared to a household's ability to pay for housing to determine the affordability of a community. The federal Department of] Housing and Urban Development (HUD) conducts annual household income surveys nationwide to determine ab household's eligibility for federal housing assistance. Based on this survey, HCD developed income limits that can be used to determine the maximum price that could be affordable to households in the upper range of their respective income category.

Element. 2021-2029 Chapter II Page I-11 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Needs Assessment CIT - F4 BRADBURY Housing Element 2021-2029 CHAPTER III HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT The following analysis of current City housing conditions presents housing needs and concerns relative to various segments of the population. Several factors influence the degree of demand, or need," for new housing in Bradbury in the coming years. The four major "needs" categories considered ini this element include: Housing needs resulting from population growth, both in the City and the surrounding region; Housing needs resulting from overcrowding; adjusted annual income for housing; and Housing needs that occur when households are paying more than 30 percent of their Housing requirements for "special needs groups" such as persons with disabilities, the elderly, large families, female-headed! households, and the homeless. A. Regional Housing Needs Assessment California's Housing Element law requires that each city and county develop local housing programs designed to meet their "fair share" of existing and future housing needs for all income groups. The Regional Housing Needs. Assessment (RHNA)is tol be determined by thej jurisdiction's Council of Governments. This allocation concept seeks to ensure that each jurisdiction accepts responsibility for the housing needs of not only its resident population, but also for those households who might reasonably be expected to reside within the jurisdiction, particularly lower The allocation process begins with the State Department of Finance's projection of statewide housing demand for an eight-year planning period, which is then apportioned by the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) among each oft the State's official regions. The regions are represented by an agency typically termed a Council of Government (COG). In the six-county Southern California region, which includes the City ofl Bradbury and all other incorporated cities and unincorporated areas ofLos Angeles County, the agency responsible for assigning these is the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Council of income households. Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter III Page IIL-I Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Needs Assessment Governments, such as SCAG, then further allocates its assigned regional shares among its member Overview oft the SCAG Allocation Process - A local jurisdiction's share ofregional housing need ist the number ofadditional dwelling units that will need to be constructed: in aj jurisdiction in order to house the anticipated growth in the number of households, replace expected demolitions and conversions ofl housing units to non-housing uses, and achieve a future vacancy rate that allows for the healthy functioning of the housing market, over a specified time period. The allocation is provided in four income categories as defined by the State, based upon the relationship to the jurisdictions. County (Area) median income (AMI), adjusted for household size: Very Low Low Moderate 0-50% of AMI 51-80% of AMI 81-120% of AMI Above Moderate 121% or more of AMI The allocations are further adjusted to avoid an over concentration ofl lower income households in any one. jurisdiction. The allocation must also consider the existing "deficit" ofl housing need due to the number oflower income households who are currently paying more than 30 percent oftheir incomes for housing or living in overcrowded conditions. Table III-1 represents the RHNA for Bradbury for the 2021-2029 planning period.

SCAG does not differentiate between very low (VLI) and extremely lowi income (ELI): needsi int thel RHNA. Pursuant to State law, the City can evenly splitt the very lowi income RHNA into veryl low and extremely lowi incomes. B. Overcrowding An overcrowded household is typically the result ofas shortage of space. Specitaly,overcrowdimg occurs when there are more than 1.01 persons per room (excluding bathrooms, storage areas, and hallways or stairways); and severe overcrowding occurs when there are more than 1.50 persons per room. According to the 2015-2019 ACS, the City of Bradbury has a high number of rooms per household (a median of7.8 rooms per household) with a comparatively low number of persons per household (3.26 persons for owner occupied units and 2.33 persons for renter-occupied units). This Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter II Page III-2 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Needs Assessment reflects the City's relative affluence. Among the 270 occupied housing units identified in Bradbury by the 2015-2019. ACS, no owner-occupied units or rental units were overcrowded. C. Housing Cost Burden Most households, particularly lower and moderate income households pay for their housing costs out of their wages and income. When a household pays more than 30 percent of its income on housing, it is considered cost burdened. Severe cost burden is paying more than 50 percent of householdi income for housing. Above moderate: income households oftenj pay for theirl housing costs That said, data from the 2014-2018 ACS and compiled by income category by HUD (referred to as Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy or CHAS data) identifies ai total of 290 households in Bradbury. Of these, 97 households in Bradbury (33.4 percent) were labeled as cost burdened, with 48 of these households (16.6 percent) spending more than half their income for housing = see the following Table III-2. Specifically, 35.3 percent ofl homeowners (83 households) were labeled as cost burdened, with 14.5 percent (34 households) being severely burdened. Approximately one- quarter of the City's renter-households: were labeled as cost burdened. However, Bradbury has homeowners that are in the top one percent of wealth in the United States. Therefore, the standard measuresofatiordabliy exaggerate the need'ofBradbury: residents, who arei mostly homeowners. using assets that are unrelated to wages or employment income.

Totals do not add up to 290 due to errors Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter III Page III-3 Housing Element 2021-2029 Lower Income Cost Burden Housing Needs Assessment For lower income households, cost burden is a housing problem. Of the 74lower income households in Bradbury, 49 percent face cost burden. Specifically, for lower income renters, cost burden was at 12 percent while cost burden for lower income homeowners was 88 percent. For the City's 3lextremely low income households, 52 percent were facing severe cost burden. However, it is likely that the lower income homeowners are retirees with limited incomes but adequate assets for housing costs. Regarding renters, as described in the Demographics Characteristics chapter, almost all of renters (94 percent) in Bradbury were identified as having "no cash rent", which are likely Accessory Dwelling Units occupied by grooms/animal caretakers, farm workers, and/or domestic employees, and the living accommodations are provided as part of the occupant's compensation. In summary, income alone is not a reasonable gauge by which to determine necessity for housing assistance in this community. Therefore, the City will consider other indicators that might point to need, such as property maintenance changes or outright inquiries about housing assistance. D. Special Housing Needs Pursuant to Housing Element Legislation, this Housing Element must include an analysis of special housing needs. The special needs groupsi sinclude persons with disabilities, the elderly, large families, Persons with Disabilities --The 2015-2019 ACS includes data about people with disabilities, including developmental disabilities. The housing needs of people with disabilities vary with the type and severity of the particular disability, and not all people with disabilities require specialized housing consideration. There were 69 people with a disability in Bradbury (Table III-3), which represented 8.3 percent oft the City'spopulation. Ofthe 69 residents, 50 oft these were 65 years and older. In Bradbury's labor force, 19 (5 percent) of the 383 employed residents had a disability. There are numerous programs for special education clients and people with disabilities in the San Gabriel/Pomona Valley. Most of these programs are provided through the Los Angeles County families with female heads ofhouseholds, farm workers, and the homeless. Department of Social Services, San Gabriel Valley Region.

Disability data also provides valuable context for assessing current and future need for accessible housing units. For example, 84 percent of persons with disabilities have ambulatory difficulties (Table III-4). People with an ambulatory difficulty experience serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. Persons with an ambulatory difficulty may have unique requirements for accessibility.such Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter II Page IIL-I Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Needs Assessment as ramps or elevators. The City's Building Department implements and enforces State codes that require accessibility for people with disabilities. Continued application of the building code requirements will ensure that adequate accessibility is provided for the disabled.

People with a self- care difficulty encounter challenges inj performing activities of dailyli living(ADLS.such as dressing or bathing. Depending on thes severity oft the disability.people with as self-care difficultyr may require additional assistance in the home to conduct daily activities. People with independent-living difficulties also require assistance to perform instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) like grocery shopping or visiting a doctor's office. People with these types of disabilities require home While there are no adult licensed community care facilities within the City of Bradbury, the Royal Oaks Assisted Living Community is located in) Duarte immediately adjacent to the City. The facility has three levels of care: independent, assisted, and a 48-bed skilled nursing unit. In addition, the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services, San Gabriel Valley Region offers many housing programs that are available to the elderly in the region. Also, Meals-on-Whecls is offered througha program at the Duarte Senior Center on Huntington Drive, and at the Monrovia Senior Neighborhood Center on Foothill Boulevard. Arrangements can be made with Meals-on-Wheelsto Developmental Disabilities - Due to the dramatic rise in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), the California legislature in 2010, passed SB 812, which requires the Housing Element to specifically analyze the housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities, and to identify resources available to serve this population. The State Department of Developmental Services (DDS) currently provides community-based services to 6,000 adults diagnosed with ASD. And, over 4,000 California teenagers diagnosed with ASD will reach adulthood over the next five years, care services and transportation and task assistance services. deliver meals. many of whom will want to live independently and need appropriate housing. Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter II Page III-2 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Needs Assessment The San Gabriel/ Pomona Regional Center (SGPRC) is among 21 regional centers operated by the State DDS to serve the developmentally disabled population. The goal of these centers is to: 1) prevent/minimize institutionalization of developmentally disabled persons and their dislocation from family and community; and 2) enable this population to lead more independent and productive lives. The DDS publishes a quarterly report by age group and residence type. Due to Bradbury's small population, the only data available shows that the SGPRC served between one and ten residents from the 91008 ZIP code between October to December 2021. The regional centers have identified a number of communitybased housing types appropriate for persons living with a developmental disability: Licensed community care facilities and group homes; supervised apartment settings with support services; SB 962 homes (for persons with special health care and intensive support needs); and rent subsidized homes and Section 8 rental Bradbury supports the provision of housing for persons with disabilities, and has adopted provisions in its Development Code to allow supportive housing consistent with other residential uses, and to explicitly provide for community care facilities. The City has also codified procedures to ensure reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. Housing Element programs to facilitate affordable housing can also assist residents with developmental disabilities. Elderly The 2015-2019 ACS indicate that in 2019, 172 persons (20.6 percent) of the City's population of 833 were 65 years of age or older. An additional 113 persons (13.6 percent) were between 55 and 64 years of age. As mentioned earlier, 50 senior residents had a disability, The 2015-2019. ACS indicates that there were: 55 family households in Bradbury headed by ap person over 65; all were owner-households. This represented 20 percent oft the City's households. There were 11 elderly residents living alone: eight owners and three renters. Elderly homeowners are subject toi increasing utility rates and increased costs for property maintenance. The City recognizes the needs of the elderly, which may include affordability, proximity to services and transportation, The HUD CHAS 2014-2018 data indicates that among the 18 elderly owner-households, four had extremely low incomes and four had low incomes. Four elderly extremely low income owner- households had cost burden for housing. Among the 8lelderly renter-nouseholds, four were extremely low income, four were very low income, and eight were low income; all experienced housing cost burden. Bradbury's elderly population, like the rest oft the City, is relatively affluent and do not have significant housing problems. The cost burden statistics do not accurately reflect As stated above (under the Persons with Disabilities section), there are no adult community care facilities licensed within the City ofl Bradbury. However, Royal Oaks is an elder-care facility located adjacent to the City within an unincorporated pocket ofLos Angeles County. The facility has three levels of care; independent, assisted, and a 48-bed skilled nursing unit. Los Angeles County Department of Social Services, San Gabriel Valley Region offers many housing programs that are available to the elderly in the region. In addition, Meals-on-Wheels is offered through a program at the Duarte Senior Center on Huntington Drive, and at the Monrovia Senior Neighborhood Center on Foothill Boulevard.

Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter III Page III-3 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Needs Assessment Large Family Households - Large families, those with five or more persons, can experience a greater incidence ofovercrowding due to the large family size. According to the 2015-2019, ACS, there were 31 large families with five or more people (11.5 percent of all households), of which 28 were owner-occupied, and three were renter-households. Almost 98 percent (377 units) of Bradbury housing stock is detached single family houses. Ofthe 377 single-family homes, 332 Families with Female. Heads ofHouseholds -I Female headed households arei morel likelyton need affordable living accommodations that are: near schools, childcare, public transportation, various social services, and employment opportunities. The 2015-2019. ACS identifies 471 female-headed households in Bradbury, representing17 percent of Bradbury's total households. Of these 47 households, 22 had children under the age of 18 years old. Specifically, 11 female-headed households were at or below poverty. Programs for families are available nearby in both Duarte Farmworker Housing - The majority oft the City is zoned for agricultural use ofland. The City is comprised of many farms surrounded by urban low density single-family development. According to City business licenses there are six active agricultural businesses with an estimated 13 helpers. This is consistent with the 2015-2019 ACS estimates where 15 employed persons or 3.6 percent of the work force in Bradbury listed farming, forestry or fishing as their occupations. Itis assumed that all 15 oft these individuals are farm workers since many oft the sites of five acres or more the community operate equestrian ranches, and some of the parcels support orchards or groves. Thel U.S. Department ofLabor estimated that mean hourly salary for farmworkers in May 2021 was $19.51. Assuming farmworkers are hired full time and year round. the annual salary is about $37.469. This income falls between HCD's extremely low and very low income limits for 2021.With those low incomes, frmworkers need access to affordable housing. In Bradbury, most of the working equestrian centers and orchards provide housing (single occupancy rooms, accessory dwelling units, or guesthouses) for thej permanent workers employed on site. Staff observed that these farm/ranch workers either live in Accessory Dwelling Units on the property, or in single rooms attached to the house or other accessory buildings. Top provide improved accommodation for farm/ranch workers. the City's new SRO development definition Homeless - State legislation (SB2) has mandated that thes special needs assessment ofthe Housing Element include an analysis of the City's homeless conditions and need for emergency shelter. Homelessness refers to persons and/or families who are without shelter because of economic, disability (physical, mental, substance abuse), and/or domestic circumstances. Such persons may live in vehicles, motels, shelters, and other temporary accommodations. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines al homeless person as, "an individual who lacks fixed, regular and adequate nighttime residence and an individual who has ai nighttime residence that is a public or private nighttime place that is not designated for ordinary use as a regular have three or more bedrooms. and Monrovia. would create independent living units. sleeping accommodation for human beings."

City Development History The 1.9-square mile City of Bradbury was incorporated in 1957. The City created an enclave for small agricultural uses within a growing metropolitan area. The original agricultural uses were avocado and citrus orchards, along with equestrian ranches. Thoroughbred horses that raced at the nearby Santa Anita Park Thoroughbred Racetrack werel housed and trained at these ranches. When the City incorporated, it included 38 small (7,500 square foot) parcels of land that were developed with single-family residential detached dwelling units of 1,400 to 1,800 square feet of enclosed floor area. Thei remainder of the City consisted of parcels ofl land that ranged in size from 20,000 square feet to 12 acres, with a few sites of201 to 70 acres. Over the years a few subdivisions werei recorded that created: new. home sites that ranged in size from 20,000 square feet toi five acres. New single-story, ranch style homes were constructed in the early to mid-1960s with homes of 2,000 to 3,000 square feet. Larger estate dwellings were constructed on the hillside lots. Many of the two- and five-acre parcels also had equestrian facilities. The existing rural equestrian estate development reflects the community's overall character. Additionally, the large lot subdivisions Over the past 15 to 20 years the City's development trend has been toward large estate mansions of 12,000 to 25,000 square feet in usable floor area. Generally, the estate home sites have also included second dwelling units. The second units have usually been constructed to house elderly family members, or domestic personnel that maintain the property and the animals. embody the community's desire to protect the sensitive hillside environment.

In the center oft the City there is a County island that is fully developed with the Royal Oaks Manor, a senior retirement community. Therefore, there is no opportunity for annexation to add land for additional development. members or household maintenance staff. B. Residential Land Use General Plan and. Development Code. Land Use Policies The Land Use Element of the City's General Plan establishes the basic land use policies, development density, and principal single-family residential land use categories for the City. The City's General Plan establishes five (5) single-family residential land use categories comprising 96 percent of the developable land in the City. As part of Bradbury's General Plan 2012-2030 Update, the City reviewed and: ratified the land use patterns and development goals of the General Plan that have been in place since 1993. The General Plan establishes a maximum development build-out potential of497 single-family residential dwelling units within the Bradbury City limits (Land Use Element, page 12). With a current housing stock of about 385 units, the build-out potential is adequate to accommodate the additional housing needs of41 units as projected by the The land use designations and intensity of development envisioned by the General Plan are implemented by the City's Development Code (Title IX of the Bradbury Municipal Code).

The Overlay Zone may be assigned to any legally created parcel of land located within the various residential zones provided that such application to the parcel ofland complies with thej provisions ofthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and that such site has adequate access and is] provided with acceptable water and sewer or septic service for the intended use. In addition to the land uses permitted in the base zone, emergency shelters, supportive housing, and transitional housing are permitted in the Affordable Housing Overlay Zone.

Variety ofLot Sizes The majority of lots in the City are larger lots due to its agrarian history and hilly typography. Large lots do have the opportunity to subdivide. In addition, the City facilitates the infilling of existing lots with additional units, particularly through SRO development. In October 2022, the City amended the Zoning Code to increase the number of units allowed in an SRO) Development in the A-1 zone from 3 to 4 units and in the A-2 zone from 51 to 61 units.

Existing Residential Development Virtually the entire City is single-family residential, with the exception of two large areas designated as Open Space. One area is owned by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District and used for flood control purposes. The other area is owned by the Southern California Water District and it is used for a domestic water reservoir. Other publicly owned lands include a one (1) acre parcel, owned by the City and used for City Hall facilities, and a 13-acre site, owned by the Duarte Unified School District. The Royal Oaks Elementary School is located ont this site. The site is designated in the City's General Plan for single-family residential land use with al lot size density of20,000 square feet. Ift the School District elected to sell the site for development, the potential yield would be approximately 24 single-family dwelling sites. The School District has not indicated that the site is surplus and re-use oft the site is not anticipated within this planning period. Of Bradbury's 1,216 total acres, 1,145 acres (94 percent) are designated as residential use and residential roadways. Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter IV Page IV-3 Housing.

The existing steep hillsides, which constitute over 25j percent oft the City, have slopes in excess of fifty percent and do not lend themselves to development. The City has made a commitment to preserving the pristine natural hillside environment, and the prominent ridgelines and riparian habitats are identified as exceptional natural elements worthy of protection. Community residents live in harmony with various wildlife species that include deer and bears.

The flood control system for most oft the City is comprised ofj privately maintained drains and swales. Virtually the entire City is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The residential water system is owned and operated by a private water company and does not provide sufficient volume or pressure to meet the fire flow requirements for high density Though Bradbury has significant land use limitations, the City is committed to providing affordable housing opportunities for lower income households, particularly through Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUS) and Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) units, which are discussed in the considered and rejected by the residents. development. following sections. Accessory Dwelling Units State provisions regarding accessory dwelling units have undergone significant change in recent years to further encourage and facilitate this type of infill development as a form of affordable housing. Recent changes impose limits on how local jurisdictions can regulate ADUS, including provisions related to development standards, permitting procedures, and fees. Inl March 2021 the City amended Chapter 85 of the Development Code (Ordinance No. 373) to comply with State law and specifically define the range of ADUS and Accessory Living Quarters permitted in Chapter 85 permits the following types of accessory dwelling units, compliant with California Bradbury.

Transitional and Supportive Housing In addition to emergency shelter requirements, SB: 2a also mandated that transitional and supportive housing are: residential uses that shall only be subject to the same standards and requirements as Below are the Bradbury Development Code definitions for transitional housing and supportive Transitional housing is defined in Government Code S 65582 and means buildings configured as rentalhousing developments, but operatedu under program requirements that call for the termination of assistance and recirculation of the assisted unit to another eligible program recipient at some predetermined, future point in time, which shall be no Supportive housing is defined in Government Code S 65582 and means housing with no limit on length of stay, that is occupied by the target population, and that is linked to on- site or off-site services that assist the supportive housing resident ini retaining the housing, improving their health. status, and maximizing theirability to live and, when possible, work For supportive housing, the target population may include low-income persons with mental disabilities, substance abuse issues, HIV/AIDs or other chronic health conditions, or persons whose disabilities originated before the person turned 18 years ofage. Social services provided in conjunction with supportive housing typically include assistance designed to meet the needs of the target population in retaining housing, living and working in the community, and/or improving Transitional and supportive housing are identified as permitted uses in all zones where residential uses are permitted (R-7,500, R-20,000, A-1, A-2, & A-5), subject only to those regulations that apply to other residential uses oft the same typei int the same zone. These 2015 amendments adding transitional and supportive housing to all: zones overrides thej provisions ofthe Affordable Housing Overlay zone designation which allows transitional or supportive housing subject to certain requirements. The Housing Element contains aj program to delete the inconsistent provisions. Pursuant to AB 2162, supportive housing developments of up to 50 units are required to be permitted by-right in all zones where multifamily and mixed uses are permitted, ift the proposed development meets specified criteria. AB 2162 also prohibits minimum parking requirements for supportivel housing within %1 mile ofap public transit stop.

The City will amend the overlay to include transitional and supportive housing as aj permitted use. D. Housing for Persons with Disabilities Persons with disabilities may have particular housing needs related to mobility restrictions or the ability to live independently. Due to these special housing needs, state housing element law requires the Housing Element to include an analysis of the City's regulations, permitting procedures, and building codes toi identify any potential constraints to the development ofhousing for persons with disabilities. In addition to allowing residential care facilities, as previously discussed, the City's Development Code and other processes and procedures were reviewed as detailed below. Definition of Family The Bradbury Development Code defines family as follows: "Family means group ofindividuals not necessarily related by blood, marriage, adoption, or guardianship living together in a dwelling unit as a single housekeeping unit under a common housekeeping management plan based on an intentionally structured relationship providing organization and stability." This definition does not constrain housing for persons with disabilities in that it does not include restrictions based on the number of individuals or familial relationships. However, the requirement for "a common housekeeping management plan based on an intentionally structured relationship providing organization and stability" may present ambiguity and is not necessary or enforceable in the Zoning Code. The Housing Element includes aj program action to simplify the definition of family by removing this requirement. Reasonable Accommodations Chapter 29 of the Development Code contains procedures for disabled persons, or their representatives, to request a reasonable accommodation from the City's zoning laws, building codes, and land use regulations, policies and procedures to allow a disabled person an equal opportunity to enjoy housing equal to that ofi non-disabled persons. Reasonable accommodations aret typicallyreviewed by the City Manager or designee. However, forreasonable accommodations that are requested in conjunction with a discretionary land use application that requires review by the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall also review the reasonable accommodation. There is no fee associated with processing a request for reasonable accommodation, and a variance is not required. Ifar review by the Planning Commission is required. apublic hearing will be held within 45 days after the application is deemed complete and a written The required findings for the approval ofar reasonable accommodation request include: determination will be provided within 60 days after the public hearing.

The required findings on compatibility with neighborhood character and traffic impacts may be considered subjective. The City will review and revise the required findings to ensure theyare objective and provide certainty in outcomes. Building Codes The City enforces the 2022 California Building Code as amended by Los Angeles County in 2020, as discussed in further detail below. As part of the plan review process, Building and Safety ensures compliance with all CBC regulations pertaining to accessibility. Bradbury has adopted no local amendments to the CBC which would serve to constrain the development of housing for persons with disabilities. E.E Building Codes and Enforcement Most of the City of Bradbury is located within a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone as designated by the State of California and adopted by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, which provides by contract, Fire Department services for the City of Bradbury. Therefore, to have the same building and safety codes that are utilized by the Fire Department, the City of Bradbury has adopted the 2020 Los Angeles County versions oft the 2022 California Building Code (CBC) and 2022 Green Building Standards Code. State Law does not allow variances from building and safety codes, and therefore, Bradbury cannot reduce construction costs by revising its building code requirements, particularly, as they pertain to health and safety measures applicable to Building codes establish minimum standards for construction that are essential for ensuring protection of the public health, safety, and welfare. All building construction, alterations, demolitions, or repairs to property in Bradbury are subject to the provisions of the California buildings and structures located in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Housing. Element. 2021-2029 Chapter. IV Page IV-17 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Constraints & Resources Building Code (CBC) and thel Bradbury Municipal Code. These requirements: result ini incremental increases in the cost ofhousing construction, but arei necessary to ensure that buildings in Bradbury The City has retained a Code Enforcement Officer to ensure that all buildings are properly maintained. The City's code enforcement efforts are both proactive and reactive (i.e., respectively, the officerroutinely patrols the City to locate violations, and responds to complaints). The officer's efforts are designed to obtain compliance first and foremost, using problem solving to eliminate violations. Health and Safety violations are given the highest priority sO that human life and property are protected without delay. The enforcement process follows these steps: are structurally sound and safe to occupy. Notice to Correct is mailed; Follow-up inspection of! property 30 days after Notice to Correct mailed; Case is closed ifv violations nol longer exist or upon abatement of violations; and If_violations continue, the officer follows up with appropriate notices and potential The City's Code Enforcement Officer receives approximately 20 to 25 complaints each year and generates approximately two to three cases each month. Approximately eight percent of these cases require either abatement or building permits. The officer estimates that approximately two to three dwelling units are rehabilitated due to code enforcement efforts each year. However, no prosecution, depending on the situation. units require replacement. F. Site Improvement Constraints Developers of single-family residential property in Bradbury are required to install street improvements and utilities such as water lines, electrical service lines, and gas lines, to service new development in the City. A substantial portion of the City's properties are in two private homeowners associations. Private streets and certain drainage facilities remain the responsibility oft the homeowners associations or a Community Service District (CSD). A majority of the City does not have access to public sewers and are reliant on private on-site septic systems. Construction costs of off-site improvements vary widely, depending on the topography and the extent of the needed public improvements. A rule of thumb is that off-site improvement costs should be estimated for budgetary purposes at about $250 per lineal foot. However, the City of Bradbury and the homeowners associations do not require the construction of sidewalks or the installation of streetlights on its public/private streets. The majority of the roadways within the City are private streets with at most 20-foot wide roadways. Street lights and sidewalks are not required fornew construction. Surface drainage fora al large part ofthe community is accommodated by private drains and swales maintained by the property owners. The minimal off-site improvements required by the City reduce the cost of development. Because the City has nearly reached its build out capacity, few off-site improvements are required. Therefore, the estimate of $250 per lineal foot may be more than adequate to cover off-site improvement costs. Housing. Element 2021-2029 Chapter.

Fees and Other Exactions Local agencies charge fees to recover the costs ofreviewing applications for development as well as impact and development fees which are designed to ensure new projects pay their fair share of funding to public infrastructure and services based on thei increased demand created by thej project. Development projects in Bradbury are subject to fees charged by the City of Bradbury, the Sanitation Districts ofLos Angeles County, and the Duarte Unified School District. Table IV- 4 provides a comparison of typical planning permit fees for Bradbury and nearby communities. With the exception of applications for a: zone change and appeals, Bradbury's fees are lower than fees charged by the other communities surveyed.

Processing and Permit Procedures The City's Planning Department: is responsible for processing applications for development within the City. Planning and zoning applications typically include land divisions, lot line adjustments, conditional use permits, variances, and design review. Many of these projects require significant amounts ofs staff time for review and analysis, as well as for public hearings. Development plans are reviewed for compliance with planning, building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, green- building, stormwater, and landscaping codes. The City processes Planning and Building applications in accordance with State Law and within the time frames specified by existing laws, including the Permit Streamlining Act and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Time delays associated with the development review and approval process have been cited as a constraint to the development process. Project processing times vary from one project to another and are directly related to the size and complexity of the proposals, as well as the number of applications related to a particular project. Another common delay in processing results from increased development activity and al limitedi number ofstaffto] process thei numerous applications.

Development proposals submitted to the City are reviewed for compliance with City regulations and ordinances. Nearly all residential projects in the City require either administrative or Planning Commission Architectural Review. However, ADUS, JADUS, and FZADUS are exempt from any architectural review process. The architectural review process is described in greater detail below. Approval of the architectural review allows the developer/owner to submit building construction plans. These plans are forwarded to aj private consulting firm that provides plan check services to the City with a streamlining goal of21 days for review. Approval ofb building plans is followed by issuance ofCity building permits. Applicants may elect to submit plans to the building department simultaneously with the planning review in order to shorten the review process from 60 days to 30 days. Projects that require environmental review will have lengthened review times of an additional six months or more depending on what type ofe environmental document is needed.

Analyses oft these issues can shed light on the private market forces that affect housing availability and affordability. Additionally, depending on the extent of housing availability and affordability, this information can signal the public sector as to the need to adjust land use, zoning, and housing policies. The cost ofi financing, thej price ofland, and the cost of construction are currently rising in Southern California, such that housing is becoming less affordable. Thus, because Bradbury is almost fully developed, the primary constraint for new or additional housing development is the lack of vacant and affordable land for development. Cost ofLand There is little vacant, developable land in the City. Many ofthe existing vacant parcels ofl land in the City of Bradbury have been owned by the same individuals or trusts for extended periods of time. Only two vacant lots have sold since 2019, according to a review ofrecords on Zillow. The average price per acre oft these lots was just under $520,000 per acre. As of] February 2022, there were three vacant lots listed for sale on Zillow. Asking prices ranged from $987,000 per acre to $3.3 million per acre (average of $1.8 million per acre). However, it should be noted that all of these properties have been listed for sale for an extended period of time (two lots for over three years) and would likely need tol be priced lower in order to sell. Cost ofConstruction According to a 2019 survey completed by thel National Association ofHomebulders, construction costs comprise 61 percent oft the sales price ofar new: single family home, on average.1 The survey Source: Zillow, Lots/Land listed for sale; Accessed February 24, 2022. medi8F04D7F6EAA4DBESID7C385D297ashx. National Association of Home Builders, 2019 Construction Cost Survey, htps/www.mahbory- Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter. IV Page IV-24 Housing Element. 2021-2029 Housing Constraints & Resources found an average construction cost per square foot of $114 for a typical single family home. However, the survey also noted that interior finishes comprise the greatest proportion of construction costs (about 25 percent). Therefore, in a community like Bradbury with high end, luxury homes, construction costs are likely much higher per square foot than average. Recently constructed homes in Bradbury have ranged from 10,000 to 15,000 square feet with building permit valuations of $1,500,000 to $2,250,000. Accessory living quarters (ALQs) in Bradbury typically range in size from 1,000 to 2,500 square feet and usually consist of living and dining areas, two to three bedrooms, one or two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a one or two car attached garage. The construction cost of ALQs can range from $150,000 to $250,000 for smaller 1,000 square foot units. The variations in construction costs depend on site preparation costs, the cost of the sewer or septic system, and the type ofi interior improvements. Availability of Financing The City of Bradbury derives its revenue from property taxes and various fees. The City does not have any retail commercial development, and does not collect development impact fees; therefore, it does not possess fiscal resources to devote to affordable housing projects. The City's limited ability toj provide affordable housing programs affects its] potential toi reach itsl RHNA goal. Federal and State housing programs, which have flourished in the past, are subject to annual fluctuations based on decisions that are beyond the City's control. Bradbury is a participating city in the Los Angeles Urban County andi is eligible to apply for funds available for affordable housing through Length of Time between Application Approval and Building Permit Issuance New State Housing Element law requires that the malypisofnongpvemmenat constraints include a discussion of the length of time between approval of a housing development proposal and The time between approval ofa aj proposal and building permit issuance are influenced by ai number off factors, none of which are directly impacted by the City. Most residential permits in Bradbury are for individual single-family homes, with building permit issuance generally taking six to nine months after Planning Department approvals. Hillside properties may take a few months longer Since 2019, the development process provides for a streamlined staff review of residential applications for projects that are less than 1,000 sq. ft. The Planning and Building Departments have been directed to complete review of development plans within 21 days of submission. Permits for a new small second/accessory unit can be issued within 60 days. If plans are simultaneously submitted to the Planning and Building Departments permits could be issued Requests to develop housing below identified densities in the sites inventory and The sites inventory does not use density to estimate the potential capacity of sites.

IV Page IV-25 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Constraints & Resources required lot size, the number of units on the parcel is based on the number of lots can be accommodated. L.I Environmental Constraints There are significant environmental constraints that need tol be considered when addressing future development. Seismic Safety The Sierra Madre Earthquake Fault Zones are in the central and northern portion of the City. Therefore, development of the hillside areas that are most susceptible to ground failure and landslide during earthquake activity should be limited to low densities and occupancies to limit the damage and casualties of earthquakes. Protection of Open Space The preservation of open space is essential to the community. The low-density agricultura/residential character of the City does not provide the economic resources needed to acquire and maintain an elaborate system of public parks and recreation areas. The City does not have any commercial or industrially zoned or developed property that would generate revenue to acquire and maintain such public facilities. The exclusive single-family residential zoning permits only detached dwelling units, many ofwhich are located on large agriculturally zoned parcels of The hillside topography limits development opportunities. The City's zoning regulates lot coverage based on the average slope of the parcel under consideration. The steeper the slope the more area that must remain in its natural condition. Allowable grading and lot coverage are significantly reduced on the steeper hillside lots. Open space is considered aj premium asset in the community. City development standards and regulations are based on the objective ofc creating the maximum feasible amount ofnatural open spaçe. Community residents have often expressed their desire to retain the rural character of the community and to maximize the existing open space land. resources. Fire Safety The majority oft the City is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The wildfire risk is high at most times ofthey year. For example, in] November 1980, fifty homes in the area were reported lost due to a wildfire. This designation of a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone requires incorporation ofs significant safety measures in the construction ofnew development. Water Water is a resource in limited supply in the southern California region. Water limitations can prevent the development ofr new housing. The existing domestic and fire water system is adequate for large agriculuralresidential development, but the mainline water system is inadequate for small lot urban subdivisions. Therefore, the City must look closely atl housing densities that may require domestic and fire water system upgrades.

Infrastructure Constraints The lower foothills are developed with large lot agriculture'residential single-family dwellings located in two gated communities.. Access to these areas is provided by private roads having paved widths of 15 to 20 feet. Most of the vacant area within the City (302 acres) is accessible via unpaved fire roads and unpaved flood control maintenance roads. Grading of the steep hillsides is regulated in order to minimize surface run-off and degradation of the natural environment. The Surface storm water run-offi is accommodated using private drainage systems. The majority ofthe City is not served by public sewers and most individual homes have their ownj private onsite septic systems to handle effluent. In addition, the public water distribution system is unable to The City adopted a Low Impact Development (LID) Ordinance in 2013 as required by law. This requires properties with over 10,000 square feet ofnew impervious surfacei to provide on-site storm water containment. This will add costs toi new construction projects with al large primary dwelling. There are no significant infrastructure constraints related to the development of accessory living quarters or ADUS. Water and other utility connections must be made for the primary dwelling unit and should be readily extended to second units. However, additional units in many areas of the vacant-land area is not served by any utilities. accommodate the fire flows required for higher density development. City would require thei installation ofa additional septic systems. N. Future Development Potential The undeveloped parcels in the City fall into two categories: Category 1 consists of seven (7) parcels of land comprising approximately 301 acres located in the northernmost portion of the City and are subject to the City's] Hillside Development Standards as set forthi in the Development Code, which severely restricts grading of slopes of 10 percent and more.

Regional Growth Need As described in Chapter II, State Housing Element law requires that a local jurisdiction accommodate a share oft the region's projected housing needs for the planning period. This share, called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), is important because State law mandates that a jurisdiction provide sufficient land to accommodate a variety of housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community. Compliance with this requirement is measured by the Housing Element 2021-2029 Chapter. IV Page IV-29 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Constraints & Resources jurisdiction's ability in providing adequate land with adequate density and appropriate SCAG assigned a RHNA of41 units to the City of Bradbury for the 2021-2029 planning period.

Pursuant to Statel law, the City can evenly splitt the veryl lowi income RHNA into veryl low and extremely lowi incomes. Sites Inventory This section discusses how Bradbury has adequate existing residential site capacity to accommodate its share ofregional housing needs during the planning period. Based on the current availability of Category 1 Privately-Owned Hillside Parcels), Category 2 (Vacant Undeveloped) as well as potential Second Dwelling Units, SROs, and units in the Affordable Housing Overlay, the City's has a potential for 71 total units. A detailed methodology and assumptions to estimate capacity is described below. Category 1: Privately-Owned Hillside Parcels fdeveloped, these 300 acres could accommodate at least 37 units based on previous proposals. However, as discussed before, the applications for both specific plan proposals have lapsed. Therefore, as a conservative strategy, these sites are not included in the City's sites inventory for 6cycle Housing Element RHNA. Category 2: Vacant Undeveloped Land Single-Family Units Table IV- 9 identifies 17 vacant undeveloped residentially designated and zoned parcels on the 74.07 acres could yield 27 new main dwelling units.

Element 2021-2029 SRO Development facilitate SRO development: Housing Constraints & Resources The City amended the Development Code in October 2022 to make several significant changes to Individual SRO units (no cooking facilities) and bunk houses (only shared cooking and plumbing facilities, which are similar to JADUS) were eliminated as separate uses. SRO developments of at least two units are allowed in all agricultural zones. SRO units require independent cooking and plumbing facilities to function as separate Number of units allowed in an SRO Development isi increased in the A-1 zone from 3 to 4and in the A-2 zone from 51 to 6. SRO) Developments in the A-5 zone remain at 10 units. Allowable unit size is increased from 250 to 300 square feet. The requirement that the SROs be occupied by domestic help was eliminated. All these changes are intended to further facilitate the development of SRO units as an alternative Based on City records, the majority of the City's recent housing projects include accessory living quarters. Specifically, 13 current or recently completed projects have included accessory living quarters, including six projects contain living quarters for domestic help and seven projects have guest houses with kitchens. The City amended the Development Code to encourage SRO developments (2+ units) for domestic help and farm/ranch workers, family members, and/or used as rentals. The City eliminated the bunk house" unit type, which is similar to the new definition DfSRO development. Therefore, future development of accessory living quarters on large lots is expected to take the form of SRO development Based on these conditions, it is reasonable to assume that half of the vacant parcels (nine parcels) identified in Table IV- 9 would include at As shown in the previous Chadwick Ranch proposal, all lots are proposed to include accessory units. noting that the proposal was submitted prior to the much more generous allowance ofs SRO development. Therefore, consistent with the Chadwick Ranch proposal, these 17 lots ata Assuming half of the lots would develop SRO development or all lots would include an ADU, both scenarios would produce 16 or 17 additional unitsPrespectively.

For SRO estimates, because of the uneven number ofl lots, "half" oft them is either of either eight or nine lots. If each lot is expected to have at least two SRO units. the expected SRO capacity is 16 or 18 units. respectively. The lower number of 16 units is used as a conservative estimate.

Therefore 16-unit SRO capacity assumed for RHNA represents a conservative 60 percent of the maximum potential. The affordability assumption for these 16 SRO units for ADU units) was based on SCAG's affordability assumption (4 extremely low/very low, Zlow, Omoderate, and 5 above moderate; Table IV-11). Together with 27 main dwelling units, there is aj potential for 43 units in Vacant Undeveloped Land.

The proportion calculations resulted in 4.01 EL/VL units, 7.6 low units, 0.4 moderate units, and 5.1 above moderate units. Numbers were rounded to the nearest whole number. However, when numbers were rounded, the total was 17. Because the proportion of moderate units was closer to 0 than 1. the estimated number of units is zero. Category 3: Accessory Dwelling Units on Developed Parcels Ina addition to units that can occur on vacant lots as noted above, existing developed parcels can add ADUS. (There is no overlapping in the estimates of potential ADUS on vacant sites versus potential ADUS on sites with existing homes. These estimates are based on separate trends._The City estimates 104 second dwelling units in the City, compared to 385 primary units in the City as reported by the ACS, representing a significant proportion (21 percent) oft the overall housing stock. Between 1994 and 2014, the City approved 36 second dwelling units (or 1.5 second units annually). Between 2014 and 2021, the City added seven second dwelling units (or one second unit annually). With the City's recent amendment to the ADU Ordinance in 2021 and 2022, the City anticipates an increased trend ofbuilding ADUS in the community. Therefore, iti is reasonable to conservatively assume that eight ADUS will be added toj properties with existing units over the 2021-2029 Housing Element period (or just one ADU annually). The assumed affordability of these units was based on SCAG's affordability assumptions (2 extremely low/very low, 3 low, 1 moderate, and 2 above moderate; Table] IV-12). Similar to footnote 6. because of the uneven number of lots, "half" of them is 13 or 14 lots. If13or14 lots are expected tol have at least two SROS, the expected SRO capacity is 26or 28SRO units. respectively. The lower number of 26 units is used as a conservative estimate.

Affordable Housing Overlay The City proposes to amend the Affordable Housing Overlay Zone to permit multi-family affordable housing at a density range of20-35 units per acre, and apply the Overlay Zone to the City Hall site. A significant portion of the 1.1-acre City Hall site is used for open space and parking and can accommodate a small multi-family affordable development.

The AHO site is located in the most urbanized area oft the City and isnot impacted by environmental constraints that would impede residential development. There are also no other constraints such as title conditions. easement, or litigation that would preclude development on sites identified in the planning period.

Addressing the 2014-2021 Housing Element Objectives Housing Production = The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) adopted a future housing need under the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) of two units for Bradbury during the 2014-2021 Housing Element period. Based on estimated production levels of three new residential units per year (two single-family homes and one second unit), the City's Housing Element set a quantified objective to produce 2 new units during the eight-year planning As shown in the following Table V-2, a total of 14 net new dwelling units were issued building permits between October 2013 (the start of the RHNA planning period) and December 2020. Of these permits, seven were for single-family homes and seven were for second dwelling units. As all oft the second units were over 2,000 square feeti in size, it is assumed they serve above moderate income households. The City developed an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance (Ord. 373, March 2021) consistent with State Law that would limit their size to ai maximum of 1,000 square feet, and include other provisions designed to facilitate the production and affordability of ADUS: this Ordinance was updated in July 2022. The City will continue to promote the development of these ADUS among homeowners as a means of addressing its new RHNA for 25 lower income period. units.

Housing Rehabilitation = Bradbury's 2014-2021 Housing Element established a rehabilitation objective of four units (all above moderate income) to be achieved through the City's code enforcement program. The City addresses code enforcement issues for one to two units monthly. However, the City did not provide any financial assistance for improvements. Housing Element. 2021-2029 Chapter V Page V-1 Housing Element 2021-2029 Housing Element Performance Housing Conservation - The2014-2021 Housing Element established a goal to conserve the four residential structures identified as historically significant in the General Plan. These historic properties have, SO far, been maintained during the planning period. The City has adopted an ordinance enacting the Mills Act that offers taxi incentives for rehabilitation ofhistoric properties, Effectiveness in Addressing Special Needs Housing - The City of Bradbury pursued housing though none oft these properties have yet utilized the program. opportunities and service support for the special needs. Specifically: InJ January 2019 the City adopted an amendment to the Development Code (Ord. 362) to add definitions for small and large Residential Care Facilities, consistent with Health and Safety Code Section 1502. Small residential care facilities (6 or fewer occupants) are a permitted use in all residential zones, and large residential care facilities (7 or more occupants) are conditionally permitted in the R-20,000, A-1, A-2 and A-5 zone districts. The same ordinance also addresses the provision of SRO development in A-1 zone (up to In2 2021, the City further amended the Development Code to prove for JADUS and Fire In September 2018, the City amended the General Plan Land Use Map to apply the Affordable Housing Overlay Zone to the City Hall site, permitting emergency shelters, transitional, and supportive housing by right on the one-acre site (City Council Resolution 3units), A-2 zone (up to 5 units), and A-3 zone (up to 10 units).

The property owner is often employed in another occupation while maintaining the agricultural and/or equestrian uses on the property through the employment of grooms and other personnel. These personnel often live full-time on the property in an accessory living quarter. During the 2013-2021 The Bradbury Development Code allows several accessory living quarter types that are suitable for farmworkers employed in the community. These include SRO units, SRO developments, bunk houses, ADUS, and JADUS. The City recently amended the Development Code to consolidate bunk houses with SRO developments. A single SRO unit is removed as aj permitted use, as it does not function as a dwelling unit. This change will facilitate the development of SRO units. Instead, planning period. the City averaged one accessory dwelling unit annually. the City will encourage the development of ADUS and JADUS.

Persons Experiencing Homelessness According to SCAG, neither the City nor Los Angeles County have identified any individuals experiencing homelessness in Bradbury. Any homeless people in the City would be served by facilities and programs in the nearby City of Pasadena. These programs include a rotating winter shelter program (provided by the Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Churches), several emergency and transitional shelters. and permanent supportive housing. The San Gabriel Valley Consortium on Homelessness maintains an on-line database of services available to the homeless In addition, the City of Bradbury periodically provides financial assistance to shelters in the surrounding area that provide housing and assistance to the homeless. The City budgeted and allocated $3.000 to donate to Union Station Homelessness Services ($1.500) and Foothill Unity Center ($1,500) for FY 16/17 and 18/19. In 19/20 the amount was split between the two organizations as well as Friends in Deed, Pasadena.

Introduction and Overview of AB 686 In2017,Assembly. Bill 686 (AB 686)i introduced an obligation to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) into California state law. AB 686 defined "affirmatively further fair housing" to mean "taking meaningful actions, in addition to combat discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity" for persons of color, persons with disabilities, and other protected classes. The Bill added an assessment of fair housing to the Housing Element which includes the following components: A summary of fair housing issues and assessment of the jurisdiction's fair housing An analysis of segregation patterns, raciallylethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunities, and disproportionate housing needs; enforcement and outreach capacity; An assessment of contributing factors; and Ani identification off fair housing goals and actions. The AFFH rule was originally a federal requirement applicable to entitlement jurisdictions, those with populations over: 50,0001 that can receive HUD Community Planning and Development (CPD) funds directly from HUD. Before the 2016 federal rule was repealed in 2019, entitlement jurisdictions were required to prepare an Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) or Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). AB 686 states that jurisdictions can incorporate This analysis of fair housing issues in the City of Bradbury relies on the 2021 Pre-Certified Local Housing Data for the City prepared by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the 2019 Local Profiles Report prepared by SCAG, the 2018 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (2018 AI) prepared by the Los Angeles Community Development findings from either report into the Housing Element.

Dissimilarity indices are used to measure the evenness with which two groups (frequently defined on racial or ethnic characteristics) are distributed across the geographic units, such as block groups within a community. The index ranges from zero 0 to 100, with zero denoting no segregation and 100 indicating complete segregation between the two groups. The: index score can be understood. as the percentage of one of the two groups that would need to move toj produce an even distribution of racial/ethnic groups within the specified area. For example, ifa an index score above 60, 60 percent Housing Element 2021-2029 Appendix B B-9 ofpeople in the specified area would need to move to eliminate segregation.

Families with children may face housing discrimination by landlords who fear that children will cause property damage. Some landlords may have cultural biases against children of the opposite sex sharing a bedroom. Differential treatments such as limiting the number of children in a complex or confining children to a specific location are also fair housing concerns. Single parent households are also protected by fair housing law. Regional Trend Approximately 30 percent ofl Bradbury households have one or more child under the age of18 (Table 5). The City's share ofl households with children is lower than the County, and the neighboring cities of Azusa and Monrovia but higher than the city of] Duarte (Table 5). For the County and the selectedj jurisdiction, single parent households make up less than 10 percent ofall households. Azusa has the highest share of single-female headed households with children (7.8 percent) while Duarte and Monrovia have the lowest (4.8 percent).

Areas of Poverty (R/ECAPs) In an effort to identify raciallylethnically concentrated areas of poverty (R/ECAPs), HUD identified census tracts with a majority non-White population with aj poverty rate that exceeds 40 percent or is three times the average tract poverty rate for the metro/micro area, whichever threshold is lower. HCD and the California Tac Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) convened as the Fair Housing Task Force to create opportunity maps. The maps include identifying areas of high segregation and poverty. TCAC Opportunity Maps are discussed in more detail in Section 4 oft this fair housing analysis. Regional Trend Approximately 15 percent oft the County population is below the federal poverty level (Table 10). Black/African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, persons of ai race not listed ("other"), and Hispanic/Latino populations all experience poverty at a higher rate than the average countywide. The proportion ofnon-Hispanic White residents under thej poverty level ist the lowest (9.6 percent) compared to other racial/ethnic groups in the County. About 25 percent of persons with disabilities are also below the poverty level. Poverty rates are similar or slightly lower than Countywide for Bradbury's neighboring cities.

Local Trend Substandard conditions are rare inl Bradbury, no households lack complete plumbing facilities or telephone service (Table 25).0 Only 1.1 percent ofl household lack complete kitchen facilities. Of the households that lack kitchen facilities, all (481 households) are renter households. This may be because of single-room occupancy units (SROs). Inl Bradbury, SROS are occupied by individuals providing on-site domestic services. For example, there are several properties in the City with maid's or groom's quarters located in or adjacent to the principal residence. These quarters are generally a single room with al bathroom, with limited or no kitchen facilities. The room is usually part oft the compensation for the on-site worker, sO no rent is charged. Housing age can also be used as an indicator for substandard housing and rehabilitation needs. According to the 2015-2019 ACS, 60 percent oft the housing stock in Bradbury was built prior to 1990 and may be susceptible to deterioration, including 44 percent built before 1970 which may require major repairs (Figure 37). In comparison, 86 percent of housing units Countywide was built prior to 1990. Sites Inventory Displacement. Risk HCD defines sensitive communities as "communities [that] currently have populations vulnerable to displacement in the event of increased development or drastic shifts in housing cost." The following characteristics define a vulnerable community: The share of very low-income residents is above 20 percent; and The tract meets two oft the following criteria: Share ofrenters is above 40 percent, Share of people of color is above 50j percent, isa above the county median, Share of very low-income households that are severely rent burdened households The area or areas in close proximity have recently experienced displacement pressures (percent change in rent above County median for rent increases), or Difference between tract median rent and median rent for surrounding tracts above median for all tracts in county (rent gap). Regional Trend Figure 38 shows sensitive communities at risk of displacement in the region. Vulnerable communities are most concentrated in the central County areas around the City ofLos Angeles, Inglewood, South Gate, and Compton, East Los Angeles, and parts of the San Gabriel Valley in Pasadena, El Monte, Rosemead and in Pomona. Sensitive communities are also concentrated in inland North Orange County tracts. Local Trend As shown in Figure 38, Bradbury is not considered a sensitive community. Despite being next to at tract considered a sensitive community (in Duarte and Monrovia), it is unlikely that Bradbury will be considered a sensitive community in the future given that it is not close to meeting any of the other characteristics of a vulnerable community, especially having a low share of very low - Housing Element 2021-2029 Appendix B B-71 income population (12 percent) and renter population (19 percent).

Housing Issues: Disproportionate Housing Needs Approximately 34 owner households and 24 of renter households in Bradbury experience a housing problem. Cost burdens are the most prominent problem in the City since there are no estimated zero households experiencing overcrowding and only 1.1 percent of households with substandard conditions. Lower and moderate income households also experience cost burdens at higher rates than above moderate income households- about 60 percent of these households pau more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs. Bradbury also has a relatively newer housing stock (41 percent of stock is less than 30 years old).

Andres Duarte before California became part of the United States. Louis Bradbury built Bradbury Estate on this land. After the passing ofLouis Bradbury his heirs lost control ofboth ranches during the 1930's. Prolonged legal battles between the family members resulted in foreclosure proceedings by the Security National Bank against most of the Bradbury Estate.

African Americans and other minority groups were expelled from predominantly White communities, through the adoption ofp policies forbidding them fromi residing or even being within town borders after dark, known as sundown towns.' 12 Contrary to the widespread misconception that these existed only in the deep south, sundown towns were prominent throughout the Country, including more than 00 California towns, several ofwhich in The Home Owners' Loan Corporation (HOLC), formed in 1933 under the New Deal Program, established the County's firsti red-lining maps.

C ratings indicated a "declining" community while D-ratings indicated the commmunity was "hazardous" and a higher loan risk. Redlined, or D-rated communities, were typically comprised of large minority communities. Segregation achieved through redlining was further exacerbated through the establishment of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934. The FHA insured bank mortgages that covered 809ofpurchase prices and had terms of20 years and were fullyamortized.

Large parcels of it were sold to people seeking spacious building sites, which afforded privacy and country living in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The surrounding properties, in the then unincorporated area called Duarte, were subdivided into tracts, which provided modest and affordable living accommodations for returning service men and their families. The entire area began to change rapidly from a sleepy agricultural area to a sprawling suburb of "GI" tract homes. Local development regulations were established and enforced by the County ofLos Angeles. County Departments also provided Police Inl 1957, while the City of] Duarte was considered for incorporation, the Bradbury Estate Property Owners Association realized that if development continued at the same pace in Bradbury they would lose the ability to control their vision for the future oft this area. These residents valued the unique foothills and were fearful that they would become victims to the bulldozers of tract developers. In an effort to ease their fears and to control their vision for the future the residents of thel Bradbury Estates joined with property owners located within the area, surrounded by Woodlyn Lane, Bradbury Hills Road, Royal Oaks Drive North, Mount Olive Drive and Lemon Avenue, to generate the 500 minimum number of registered voters required to create a new unincorporated City.

Housing Element 2021-2029 Appendix B B-81 Today, the city has three distinct areas-the Bradbury Estates, which is a gated community consisting of five-acre minimum estates; Woodlyn Lane, which is also a gated community with minimum two-acre (8,100) lots; and the balance of the city, which is not gated, which has lots generally ranging in size from 7,500 square feet (.17 acre) to 1-acre. A significant portion of the properties inl Bradbury Estates and Woodlyn Lane are zoned for horses, and several horse ranches still exist within these communities today. Both gated communities have Homeowners The City's General Plan establishes five (5) single-family residential land use categories comprising 96 percent of the developable land in the City (Figure 44). The Code establishes the regulations affecting the uses, density, and size ofhousing permitted int the different single-family zones of the City. As shown in Table 32, the minimum size for a single-family residential lot is 7.500 sq. ft. Though Bradbury has significant land use limitations, the City is committed to providing affordable housing opportunities for lower income households, particularly through Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)and: Single-Room Occupancy (SRO)units, which are discussed in the following sections. In addition, the presence of environmentally sensitive conditions like fire hazards andi infrastructure limitations (narrow streets, private water service) present significant constraints to the development ofr multi-family residential development inl Bradbury.

The Overlay designation can be applied to any residentially zoned property in the City, provided that the site has adequate access and is provided with acceptable water and sewer or septic service for the intended use. The zoning on the City Hall site will be amended to include the. Affordable Housing Overlay concurrent with this Housing Element. The sites inventory includes the City Hall site to accommodate multi- family housing to be built at a density of 30 du/ac. These units will provide lower and moderate income housing opportunities. Local Setting Bradbury is developed exclusively with single-family detached residential units. The Cityisa hillside community comprised primarily of large estate lots, orchards, and equestrian facilities. Bradbury is one of the smallest cities in) Los Angeles County, encompassing only 1.9 square miles. In the 1870s. Bradbury was developed and subdivided into 40+ acre parcels with the There are eight large parcels ofl land comprising approximately 302 acres in the northern portion ofthe City.According to) Bradbury's General Plan, the City recognizes that the eight parcels of land, as they exist currently, have the opportunity to be developed with one main dwelling unit intention to use the parcels mainly for ranching. Housing Element 2021-2029 Appendix B B-83 and one accessory dwelling unit per parcel. The northern section oft the City is located adjacent to the City of Monrovia /Angeles National Forest that appear to have average slopes that range from 24%1 to 57%. Limited access to the eight parcels mentioned previously, lack of urban utilities, and the potential existence of sensitive ecological areas and species may render these parcels very difficult or potentially economically infeasible for residential estate development. It should be noted that residential development of this area is not limited to the 16 units; development density may be increased through the utilization ofland division and development concepts, such as clustered development, that can be developed through a specific plan. As of2022, the City has completed the Chadwick Ranch Estates Specific Plan and isi in the process of completing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Chadwick Ranch Estates Specific Plan project includes requests for several discretionary permits that would allow grading of141 lots for single-family estate residences: construction of related roadways and utilities: and designation of 15 lettered nonresidential lots consisting of open space, debris basins and a water There are three distinct neighborhoods in the City, known as Bradbury Estates, the Woodlyn Lane Improvement Association, and the Bradbury Hills Road and Lane Association. The remaining residential areas are traditional single-family detached residential neighborhoods. Bradbury Estates is a gated community consisting ofl large residential parcels ranging in size from two to 70 acres in size. Woodlyn Lane and) Bradbury Hills Road are also gated communities with parcels two acres or larger. The gated communities in Bradbury have privately Due to the overall nature of Bradbury. development opportunities may be limited. However, the City has identified several sites with the potential for residential development. An analysis of these sites as they relate to AFFH is described in Section 7.Sites Inventory and AFFH. below. Given that Bradbury is only made up of one census tracts, determining whether there are geographical areas of concentration which the sites inventory would exacerbate or improve is difficult. In addition, the City is considered an area of highest resources and does not have any significant special needs populations other than seniors (which make up the majority of its population with disabilities) and 25 percent LMI households. However, the City is considered one ofthe most expensive places to live- it ranked number one on Forbes' annual ranking of America's Most Expensive ZIP Codes in 2010.14 According to SCAG's Pre-Certified Local Housing Data, Bradbury's median home price in 2018 was $1.3 million, more than twice the median for the SCAG region' s median of $560,997. The high housing costs are reflected in that about one third oft the City's! households are cost burdened, andi in at trend that deviates from the County and many otherj jurisdictions, the share ofcost burdened homeowners is larger than the share ofcost burdened quality basin. a reservoir, aj private street and an emergency access. owned and maintained streets. 7.

There is a capacity of 69 units in the City'ss sites inventory distributed between vacant underdeveloped parcels. the Affordable Housing Overlay, and estimated 2nd DUS LADUS /JADUS on developed parcels on developed parcels. However, for the purposes of analyzing the distribution of sites, the City focuses on the 45 units distributed between the Vacant Underdeveloped parcels and the Affordable Housing Overlays since the location of ADUS on developed parcels is unknown. In addition, the AFFH geographical analysis does not include SROs in vacant undeveloped parcels because the location and affordability of SROs at each location is unknown. The City assumed that 16 SROS were distributed between 17 parcels of vacant undeveloped land. Halfo oft these 17 parcels were assumed to include at least a two-unit SRO development, yielding 16 SRO units based on current development trends.

A total of45 RHNA units have been allocated throughout the City in various neighborhoods. The neighborhood distributions are detailed below. Northern Bradbury. This neighborhood encompasses most of the City and is characterized by A-5 and OS zoning designations (see Figure 44). This includes most of the area north ofLemon Avenue and Woodlyn Lane. The following sites are located in Northern Bradbury: 15 Because of the uneven number of lots, "half" oft them is either of either eight or nine lots. resulting ina potential SRO capacity of1 160 or 18 units respectively.

The Ciy's RHNA strategy encourages new units suitable for lower income households throughout the City,i including in Northern Bradbury in the form of SROs. The City's RHNA strategy in this ses ction of the City does not exacerbate fair housing conditions and promotes mixed income com nunities and new housing opportunities in Southeastern Bradbury. This analysis categorizes Southeastern Bradbury by the A-2. A-1.R- 7.500, and R-20,000 zoning designations in the southe ast corner of the City. There is also a small area zoned OS in this neighborhood. Southeastern Br adbury contains the only area zoned for R- 7,500 in the City.

The sites still have the potential to accommodate some oft these SROs. At total of 13 RHNA units have been identified in Southeastern Bradbury, representing 19 percent ofunits identified Citywide. Again, the potential lower income SRO units are not identified in this breakdown because the exact sites where they will be located is unknown. Like Northern Bradbury, the City's RHNA strategy in Southeastern Bradbury ensures RHNA units ofa a single income level are not concentrated in this section of the City through SROs, which are assumed to be suitable for lower and above moderate income households. The RHNA strategy in Southeastern Bradbury promotes mixed income communities and new housing opportunities in high resource areas, including housing opportunities for lower income households. The City's RHNA strategy Southern Bradbury. Southern Bradbury is the smallest neighborhood defined in this analysis, represented by A-1, A-2, R-20,000. and a small area of OS designations. Most of Southern Bradburyi is south ofLemon Avenue, but also includes the A-1,0S, and A-2 zoned areas just north ofLemon Avenue.

Sites 13 and 15s still have the potential to accommodate some oft these SROs. The City's RHNA strategy allocates 23 units over four sites in Southern Bradbury, including 10 lower income units, eight (8) moderate income units, and five (5) above moderate income units. The 23 units in this neighborhood represents 33 percent oft thel 69 units identified citywide to meet Housing Element 2021-2029 Appendix B B-87 the RHNA.

Identification and Prioritization of Contributing Factors Overall, the City is made up of an affluent mostly White and Asian aging community (over 50 percent are over the age of45).) Due toi its small size- only once census tract- there is no geographic concentration of poverty or ethnic groups. Bradbury is considered an area of "highest" opportunity and does not have overcrowding or substandard condition housing problems. The most prominent fair housing problems in the City are related to fair housing outreach and enforcement and housing for special needs groups. Fair Housing Enforcement and Outreach The City did not have any fair housing complains or housing choice voucher users according to thei most recent data posted in HCD's AFFH Data Viewer. There are: also no records off fair housing testing during the 6th Cycle planning period. The City does appear to be lacking in its outreach efforts- both in disseminating fair housing services and in engaging thej public during the Housing Element Process. Contributing Factors: Lack ofr monitoring Lack ofoutreach towards special needs groups Lack ofr marketing of community meetings and fair housing services Priority: The City will prioritize addressing the lack of marketing of services since education this is the most important factor in being able to inform residents oft their fair housing rights, and empower them to make complaints when necessary as well as to inform landlords oft their responsibilities to ensure fair housing. By. July 2023, update City website to provide links to various local, state, and federal agencies and organizations that provide housing and related services and programs (Fair Housing Outreach and! Education Program). The City will also annually publish housing resources on City newsletter. Housing Needs for Special Needs Groups Bradbury's population with a disability is mostly made up of seniors - with the most common disability being ambulatory difficulties. This indicates al higher need for housing for seniors with disabilities. In addition, about one quarter of the City's households earn low-to-moderate income households and LMI households experience cost burdens at the higher rates than above moderate households. About 60j percent ofLMI households are cost-burdened. These groups require special housing needs- assisted living or reasonable accommodations. for seniors with disabilities and affordable housing for low and moderate income households. Contributing Factors Location and type ofa affordable housing Lack of knowledge of fair housing rights and resources Land use and zoning laws Priority: The City will prioritize advertising the rights and services available to special needs groups as part ofits Reasonable. Accommodation Program andi its Housing for Persons with Disabilities Program. Housing Element 2021-2029 Appendix B B-91 By July 2023, update City website toj publicize information on reasonable accommodations. This and to inform Bradbury families oft the housing opportunities and services available for persons with developmental disabilities.
