City of Lake Elsinore Housing Element Update | Community Survey
Summary | 6/21/21

Introduction:
All California cities are required to adopt a General Plan. A General Plan establishes the framework for
decision making in the community. As required by State law, the City of Lake Elsinore is updating one of
its General Plan’s elements – Housing. The Housing Element identifies how Lake Elsinore can meet
existing and future housing needs for all income levels of its population. Community input is critical to
ensure community needs, values, and preferences are reflected in the Housing Element Update. Part of
the Elements’ update is a community engagement component that will be used to inform the plan
update process. The survey period ran from May 12, 2021 through the end of the day June 20, 2021. In
total, 340 participants submitted surveys – 227 responded to all 21 questions, and 113 responded to
one or more questions but not all 21.
This Housing Element community survey solicited public input regarding housing issues facing Lake
Elsinore and its residents. The survey responses and results are summarized below.
The City’s website contains more information about the Housing Element updates and upcoming
activities. https://www.lake-elsinore.org/housing
Key Findings:
Of those responding, 63.4% are homeowners and 75.3% live in a detached single-family home. 64.3% of
respondents say they are satisfied with their current housing situation and 43.2% rated the physical
condition of the dwelling they live in as excellent. Respondents say they chose to live in Lake Elsinore
because of the cost of housing (63.9%), close distance to family and friends (26.4%), and the quality of
housing (22.5%). For those who do not currently own a home the primary issue to finding a home is the
ability to find a home in their target price range (33.9%). Over half of respondents noted that focusing
new housing near downtown, creating walkable neighborhoods was a very important action for Lake
Elsinore.

Appendix
Question 20 – Other Considerations for the Housing Element
Written in comments
• Traffic is getting progressively worst throughout the city, especially in the area near freeway and
Diamond drive.
• Reconsider your master plan. Put housing in central locations.
• The grocery stores and parking lots need trees and beauty like Murrieta and Temecula. We also
need high-end restaurant instead of cheap fast food, uplift our city.
• Low income housing should be spread evenly around LE. Not just centered around downtown or
east lake district. We need new schools in downtown and east lake district
• Sandwiched between Corona to the north and Murrieta/Temecula to the south, Lake Elsinore
has the most upward potential, and the longest way to go, to reach the quality of life and
standard of living offered by those communities. That will only happen by attracting the right
types of business and entrepreneurs, and that is where the city's focus should be.
• I would much rather have senior housing than affordable housing. We work hard to keep our
community safe
• Getting the county of Riverside involved to improve Lakeland village side as well, make all of
Elsinore desirable.
• Have local police Dept and eliminate wait time when called.
Develope lake street from 15 freeway
Add nicer restaurants on banks of Lake.
Enforce pet control, fine with leashes
Add a Kaiser hospital
• No more housing. The more housing we get the more traffic we have and I worry the city will
stop having a small town feel. Just more people in a hurry wanting everything to look the same
and perfect.
• Keep the the historic & cultural downtown area and neighborhoods near Main Street & Graham
from turning into Temecula or Murrieta. We have a great vibe and relatively "safe" atmosphere
but we're unique and don't need big houses or fast food joints on Main Street.
Also, please clean up and patrol the Elm Grove Beach area. It's only a block from the sheriff
station but I won't even go there any more.
• Consider more parks and green space to support community growth at the north end of the lake
- there are huge plots of lakefront land that are being overrun with homeless encampments
when the city could be doing something positive for the communities that live there.
• Parques que realmente sean parques que se puedan usar en el verano que provean sombra de
árboles. Y unidades para 55 .
• Add more businesses and and schools. We don’t need more affordable housing or places for the
homeless to sleep in our new parks. Improve this city and make it somewhere higher end
investors want to be.

• The city should not be intimidated by nimbys(not in my back yard) who don’t want any
development at all.
• nice affordable homes with big lots for gardening.
• Highway 74 between Home Depot and The Ortega Highway needs to be widened to 4 lanes. The
traffic is atrocious and a stoplight every block and bottlenecks do not help matters. It's like
you're participating in a parade!Think about infrastucture before all these housing tracts are
approved.
• We do not need more low income housing. We do need a new senior center and 55 plus
communities w new single story detached housing.
Lake street needs to be developed abs we need to find a new builder for the property off
Nichols
• Lake street and Nichols need to be developed. We need detached housing community for 55
plus. Our senior TWC is awful. Apartments have better facilities. No more low income housing.
Maybe a development around the lake.
• Work with nicer areas and figure out what’s working for them and why we have such terrible
issues with run down areas and homelessness. We are getting worse whereas our surrounding
areas are not. Think about that. Quality people over quantity. Enough with affordable housing.
• Walkability, greenspace, and environmental impact.
• Cheaper rates. California housing is overpriced and people are moving out of state. I'm
considering it too if something doesn't change.
• Put corner markets near housing so it is accessible by walking. Rosetta canyon is an example of
being too far to walk from the stores that are on central.
• We need more quality shopping and more options so we do not have to go to another city and
buy the goods we need.
• A basic standard of living for housing every citizen that needs a home. No matter their income. If
we let our people sleep on the streets, we have failed as a community.
• Make Grand ave., Riverside dr., hwy 74 Wider. Fix Collier and hwy 74 intersection
• Infustructure! Side walks, parks, lighting.
No more low income housing.
Let's bring folks here that want to better our community.
• To not saturate the Summerly area with the new planned housing. Summerly has been hit with
all the low income/work force housing next to it and now a potential warehouse build. The city
has LOTS of empty space in other areas that can be developed
• Cluster of sing family homes impacts our beautiful ecosystem, we are one of the last city’s to
grow and we need to stay small country, yet not overcrowding the area with an occupied homes
that they people cannot afford(Rosetta canyon). Keeping rural open land draws people to our
city because we are the action sports capital. We don’t need to end up like Temecula and
menifee over run with traffic it’s not Elsinore best interest.
• To avoid creating "housing deserts" that are heavily defended on cars to get to essential services
and amenities, such as grocery stores, and public parks.
• Make cleaning up the existing areas more often and accessible

• Please stop doing/building things that create more traffic. We’ll be like Orange County traffic
soon.
• why can’t living just be free
Y’all need to stop wondering why homelessness is so bad
• Affordable housing and childcare
• stop crowding neighborhoods give larger backyards and space between homes for privacy.
• create more bus routes, more grocery stores, remodel the public library, have a hospital and
more doctors and specialist
• More selection of restaurants and businesses
• LE needs to renovate the city. It should get its own police department, bring good stores to the
area, get rid of the outlets or get good investors who will make the city great. LE has so much
potential but putting a homeless shelter in downtown was a wrong move. It should have been
somewhere more isolated. LE should be like Murrieta Menifee and so on those places look really
nice. Please do something don’t take so damn long to build. It would be nice to have stores
locally where people can shop instead of going out of town.
• New housing communities maybe town homes
• Many of the existing apartments and houses need serious renovations, consider providing
assistance to homeowners who need to update homes and to apartment owners to renovate
the complexes
• Tener tiendas cerca de las casas nuevas
• Remodel neighborhoods in the Avenues on Mill St, and add parks and street lights.
• More condos that are affordable. Offer incentives for people who don’t commute and work
from home!
• Fix the traffic problem on Lake St.
• Enforce housing codes throughout city to ensure owners remove debris all around properties
and maintain yards consistently throughout the year.
Continue to improve roads everywhere and remove graffiti continuously.
Create a walking path along the lake to continue to strengthen this wonderful asset in the city.
Bring in our own police department to monitor city and remove homeless everywhere around
lake.
Stop allowing cannabis shops from taking over the city. These establishments only tarnish our
reputation further.
Just these actions alone will continue to improve the physical image of the city and help us
become a more powerful player in the area for being a good and safe community to raise a
family.
• Take care of what you have first. Protect the residents from LEAPS.
• Making Lakeland village part of Lake elsinore and higher standers for downtown elsinore shop
fronts!
• Limit the number of people and the number of automobiles that are allowed to reside in
housing units
• Also think about increasing commercial options as housing increases. More business are needed

• Schools
Safety
Cleanliness
Parks
• Put hard working families first by incentivising methods for families to own a home.
• Family parks and activities be included in these communities.
• Building new homes should be preceded by infrastructure improvements, not fixing traffic
problems as a reaction to the new homes/businesses. Traffic in certain areas of the city has
gotten much worse because businesses and homes have been added, but the necessary
infrastructure to accommodate these construction projects has not been addressed.
• Stop the over development before it starts!! You do not have the infrastructure to support 11,
000 new homes. You are killing the environment and neighborhoods that were the reason
people came out to Elsinore in the first place. The traffic situation here is bad and only about to
get way worse. Lake Elsinore residents have on average the longest commute of any other town
in California. The city is slated to added 11,000 plus houses, with only two major arteries in and
out of the area. Does that make sense to you?
If you are developing why do you not make changes that bring permanent non retail jobs
(technology, corporate, government, medical jobs) to this area so your residents do not have a 3
hour plus commute every day? Stop bending over backwards for developers to put in housing
you cannot support.
• Stop building houses, start building more parks and recreation
• 1)Do not promote or develop housing for homeless.
2) Change definition of single family housing so only 2 adults with their children under 18 can
live in home.
• The prices of family homes for median earning families and traffic
• Crime rates, more police, better schools
• City should consider the effects of traffic with new housing projects, and upgrade the existing
roadways/infrastructure at the same time as housing construction.
• Get rid of all of the pot holes.
• Expanding the roads to accommodate the traffic flow. Also aquire our own police force.
• Definitely affordable housing with easier ways to qualify. Making safe and friendly
neighborhoods.
• Less apartments and more shopping with communities near by. No more palm trees plant pine
trees or more oak trees.
• I dont know how you would do it, but the housing market is driving people my age and younger
to different towns that have more affordable and available homes/apartments. There isnt any
work in LE, people have to drive to work, which adds to bills, traffic, homelessness, etc. There
should be a maximum price per sqft any current or new homes can be sold or rented out for.
The way it works now forces people who dont make massive wages out of the town and possibly
adding to the homeless. A home that is 1000 sqft shouldnt cost 400K or 2500-3000 a month to
rent, this community and the working class is being raped by greedy homeowners and

corporations who can sit with homes on the market indefinitely until someone who is desperate
just gives in. Anyone who makes 15-20 an hour will be spending 60-75% of their income on rent
and essential bills, instead of the recommended 30%. Single bedroom apartments are more than
70% the cost of 2 bedroom, making it smarter to live with roommates, which exacerbates the
crowding (And, again, homelessness - if roommates leave to another state or town, leaving the
other person(s) unable to afford rent for a place on their own what are they suppose to do???).
This isnt a Lake Elsinore specific problem, but it could be easily solved here if people put their
foot down and make real change to our housing laws.
• No section 8 or “workforce”housing. No more building apartments around Summerly. I moved
here because of the small town feel. Since the section 8 apartments went up there are groups of
kids walking around my neighborhood and coming to our parks and pools. Drug dealing and
graffiti is on the rise. The schools in lake Elsinore have a bad reputation that’s why kids are going
to school in Murrieta. No commercial developments. We don’t want that for our city. Fix the
traffic and roads. Take some pointers from Murrieta. That city is beautiful and clean. I don’t see
section 8 housing popping up all over or the homelessness we have. Would be nice to have the
city do something about everyone selling their homes and kicking renters out at this time. Lots
of us renters are searching for a place to live even though we are up to date with our rent. We
simply cannot afford the $2,800+ rent that landlords are requiring now. Over 100’s of
applications for a single home. There is no hope for here for my family and we are forced to
move out of state or risk living in a motel. Lots of people in my place right now all because
sellers want to make a buck. I have to take my kids out of schools they love because our landlord
wants to sell. We have nowhere to go
• Please consider infrastructure first before building. Our roads are horrible and these new huge
power poles are such an eye sore. Why aren’t they underground. This city has so much potential
with people moving here from Orange County. We could be raising the medium income and
attracting better stores if we would stop putting in weed shops and dollar stores. Let’s work on
not taking another ten years to grow this city.
• Please, oh please, consider creating a low-income or subsidized Senior Citizen safe, clean
housing complex here in Lake Elsinore! All housing efforts seem to be focused on the homeless,
drug addicted younger folk here. Us Baby Boomers have no place we can afford that is safe,
clean and secure. I'm 66, living in an old delapidated RV for 16 years because I can't afford
anywhere else. I know other Seniors just like me. Again, please think about the Seniors in Lake
Elsinore.
• Consider the single-families that have need to live paycheck to paycheck but don’t qualify for
“low-income” homes.
• More retail and food options every time we go to dinner we go to Temecula. Get homeless out.
Stop low income
• The city should allow additional garages be converted into additional living space. With the
people rules in place this with help the owner as much as and the renter. The city giving out
lesser strict permits or forgiveness can open the opertunity to make an agreement with owners
and regulate rental by the square footage, utilities, taxes etc.

I take home about 55,000 and my year end salary gross is $72,800. I still cannot move out
because rent is much greater than I can afford (rent+utilities). As a single person why do I not
qualify in the income bracket for income limits. Why is my only option to still live with parents or
rents a 2,000+ apartment living paycheck to paycheck without any room to save? I work just as
hard if not harder but it’s the welfare collecting individuals that given the advantage
• sidewalks and incorporate lake land village
• Make it more affordable! I don't want to leave Elsinore or Cali. The prices do NOT match the
area or quality of the homes/apartments.
• Implement environment justice principles to your approach. Displacement and gentrification of
current residents should not be an outcome from the new housing element plans.
• Add parks and community pools in existing/old neighborhoods. For example the avenues by
Railroad canyon elementary school, there are no parks near by for children.
• Review the traffic all around
• Affordable, family and pet friendly rental HOUSES with yards. My mobile home park has
multiple homes with 4
people in a 1 bedroom due to the ridiculous cost of housing, especially during a pandemic. It’s a
shame that renters are being taken advantage of. Families with children are hit really hard by
this, because one parent has had to be home to homeschool the kids.
I know many residents that have moved out of LE because of the staggering rise in housing and
how unkept and dilapidated these homes are. Hopefully it changes soon!
• Rent is extremely expensive, there are (mostly) only minimum wage jobs around, over
populated
• I feel that the existing communities especially the Castelina development and the lower area of
Tuscany Hills (Tuscana and Summerhill developments) which brought in a large population back
in 2000 and helped Lake Elsinore thrive have been neglected. It seems like every time a new
housing development opens, code enforcement moves on to those communities to keep them
in order and pristine, but the older communities are forgotten. Code enforcement needs to
implement the CC&R's imposed by builders/developer's whether or not communities have an
HOA. These communities pay mello-roos tax and they lack support and are looking run down
due to no enforcement or monitoring. I am very happy and proud to live in Lake Elsinore but
sadly my neighborhood is looking rough and I may be considering a move if things don't
improve. Also, it is discouraging to see so many vacant buildings especially along Grape Street
and even at the LE Outlets. Please work to bring in good shopping and services. No more
discount stores or marijuana shops please!
• Look around Lake Elsinore. We are a podunk city in comparison to the surrounding cities and
we're constantly criticized for it. The city is neglected with mindless projects. MAKE BETTER
CITYWIDE DECISIONS!
• Restaurants, no more fast food. Good stores st the outlets. They are awful, we want to spend
our money here but there is nothing really out here for us. We end up driving to Menifee, or
surrounding more developed areas. The Wreck downtown is not a place we feel comfortable
going. It feels as though we could get mugged.

• I would love to see better restaurants, and more stores, like a Trader Joe’s, Albertsons. We also
need a hospital, Kaiser. Also, stop building where there is so much beautiful nature. All those
gorgeous boulders are being destroyed. That is very sad. Fix the freeway!!! Don’t bring more
people without fixing the 15 freeway!! That’s a mess. I truly have learned to love this city and
we plan on staying here.
• Upgrade roads
• Stop focusing on housing and focus on bringing restaurants and other services to your residents.
• Wider sidewalks or trails.
• More code enforcement is the presidential tract. It’s ridiculous how the lack of enforcement has
helped breed crime.
• Clean up the trashy people around homes, restaurants and shopping
• All infrastructure, such as, adding additional roads, schools, hospital/medical services. Also work
with CalTrans to address freeway infrastructure.
• Make sure there's a traffic lights that have left turns and right turns only
• Bike friendly, you should be able to safely ride your bike from the north end to down town!
• To have stores in the area that reflect the communities around them. This city needs more
restaurants and nice stores. No more vacant stores.
• We don’t need a bunch of low income housing. Crime is on the rise in Lake Elsinore and we’re
considering moving because of it. More low income housing will only make things worse.
• Ampliación y restauración de las calles para mejor fluidez del tráfico vehicular.
• Mix use development near Lake Shore.
• LE is growing. As a resident of the community, it would be nice if we have more available stores
and shops like our neighboring city(Murrieta/Temecula). Most of the time we drive to either
Murrieta or Temecula to shop. It could have been a revenue for the city. LE has potential to
become the next City destination. It just needs a lot of work.
• Must get rid of all the junky housing that makes Lake Elsinore know as the Meth capital of
Riverside County. I live in Canyon Hills and is the only area plus the new area south of the city
that I would live in.
• We must revitalize the downtown area. We must condemn and rebuild much of old Elsinore.
• Public Safety
General Plan Upgrades for 20 years
• $$$ - Affordable. lower property taxes, it really hurts cause it’s too much on monthly payments
including your home. Exemption. More traffic outlet on the 74. There is no outlet at the
moment and people have to take long alt route to go home or some wher.
• Alternative homes should be allowed for affordable housing ie container homes and tiny on land
that is owned
• The impact it is having on our schools. Are our schools able to support an influx of new families?
Are our schools receiving any additional funding to ensure all student needs are being met?
I would also like the City to highly consider the impact additional housing is having on our
roads/traffic and to address these issues to the public.

• Affordability, and integrating neighborhood stores within walking distance such as vons in
sycamore creek.
• Stop building homes and fix up the town and lake. Clean up all the homes that have drug addicts
and squatters in. Fix up all the abandoned graffiti buildings. Do something good for lake Elsinore
instead of bringing in more daily traffic.
• I feel that there is a demand for all forms of housing in Lake Elsinore. From homeless transitional
housing to large lot homes.
• Roads to accommodate traffic volume, safety of roads like speed limits and traffic lights
• Promote preserve and improve natural open spaces, and trails and nature areas.
• To provide accessible shopping for the new homeowners, so they don't have to leave the city
they live in to shop or go to a nice restaurant.
• Keep housing affordable. Stop the greed. Think about the community and those of us who
proudly call this our home. I should not have to move because investors purchased and raised
the rent on so many properties.
• Sidewalks & bike infrastructure
• Country Club heights
• Better development along the lake. Riverside drive has several areas along the lake that need
improvement. Let's make "the lake" a destination and get more tourists here to enjoy and spend
$ in our city.
• Road improvements, sidewalks clear of sign obstructions, assess need of and plan for new
schools to accommodate the growing population. Public transportation for growing senior
population.
• Fire all corrupt government and city employees that are contributing to Americans drug and
gang problem and are taking kickbacks from drug cartels and gang leaders.
• Impact of traffic
• Gas, food & shopping off Lake Street exit. Rehabilitation of the Outlets. Outdoor/shopping
experience for the family (ex: Dos Lagos or Irvine Spectrum feel)
• Give some sort of benefit to Social Service providers. Most of us live and work in the city but we
can barely afford to pay our rents. Include social service providers in affordable housing
buildings. Or some sort of assistance in being able to purchase a home.
• Create less traffic
• Unavoidable Services: we need a DMV Field office in LE near the 74/15 that meets the city’s
available parking ordinance. A good location would be the old Falla’s suite at the Outlet Center.
Not in a residential zone, easy access to the freeway, and not 25 miles away like Norco. 32
miles-Temecula, 40+ miles - Hemet.
In the same square miles as these 3 DMV’s, OC has 12 in the same square miles. All we need is
our state assembly person & a senator for requesting Additional federal DOT funding.
PS. The Chamber has been aware of this request since 2014. So has our former city manager &
ASM Melendez. Nothing has been done, except for me, gathering up all the figures and logistics
and delivering them in writing.

system) and connectivity along Freeway
• I would like you to consider creating more strip malls and shops for the upcoming new housing. I
would also like you to consider revamping the Lake Elsinore Outlets as a better draw to the
town.
• Have an accessible program that helps homeowners fix up their homes and get rid of weeds
• Programs to help people learn how to make their own repairs to their own homes.
• More restaurants shopping fun entertainment
• Keep in mind development constraints. Either help address them or plan for housing where
there are fewer constraints.
• Consider the younger generation that may want to stay here but cannot afford purchasing a
home in lake Elsinore especially when you have mello Roos and higher taxes on top of the
mortgage payment.

RE: City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Lake Elsinore’s (City) draft housing element
received for review on August 23, 2021. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585,
subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a telephone
conversation on October 8, 2021, with Diana Gonzalez, Richard J. MacHott, Justin Kirk,
and Laura Stetson of your staff.
The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be
necessary to comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code).
The enclosed Appendix describes the revisions needed to comply with State Housing
Element Law.
The City’s statutory deadline to adopt a housing element is October 15, 2021. For your
information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), if a local
government fails to adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of this statutory
deadline, then any rezoning to accommodate the regional housing needs allocation
(RHNA), including for lower-income households, shall be completed no later than one
year from the statutory deadline. Otherwise, the local government’s housing element will
no longer comply with State Housing Element Law, and HCD may revoke its finding of
substantial compliance pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i).
Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing
element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element
process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that
represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly
available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate.
October 22, 2021

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing
element adoption. HCD reminds the County to consider timing provisions and welcomes
the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical
Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
http://opr.ca.gov/docs/OPR_Appendix_C_final.pdf and
http://opr.ca.gov/docs/Final_6.26.15.pdf.
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 Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; 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 meets housing element requirements for these and other funding
sources.
We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State
Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance,
please contact Jamillah Williams, of our staff, at Jamillah.Willliams@hcd.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
Shannan West

APPENDIX
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
The following changes are necessary to bring the City’s housing element into compliance with
Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the
supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element-memos.shtml.
Among other resources, the housing element section contains HCD’s latest technical assistance
tool, Building Blocks for Effective Housing Elements (Building Blocks), available at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/index.shtml and includes the
Government Code addressing State Housing Element Law and other resources.
A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with
Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in
the jurisdiction (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A))
The element includes the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH); however, additional
information is necessary to address the requisite affirmatively furthering fair housing
(AFFH) analysis requirement, including local contributing factors to the fair housing
issues and develop strong programs and strategies to address the identified fair
housing issues as follows:
Local Data and Knowledge: While the element includes state and regional data, the
element must also include local data and knowledge to supplement the analyses. Local
knowledge includes any information obtained through the community participation
process. It can be a valuable means of supplementing county and state data and is
important for providing context in a fair housing analysis. For more information on using
local data, please refer to page 47 of the HUD AFFH rulebook
https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/FHEO/documents/AFFH-Rule-Guidebook.pdf.
Integration and Segregation: The element includes data on integration and segregation
at the regional and local level for race, disability, and familial status (p. 3.34). However,
it must also describe local and regional trends and patterns of segregation and
integration by income, complemented by data, and concluding with a summary of
issues.
Racial/Ethnic Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP): While the element includes
information and analysis relative to local R/ECAP, it should also include regional trends
and patterns. The analysis must be complemented by quantitative evidence for the
regional comparison and describe how the City’s R/ECAP compares to the rest of the
City. In addition, the City should also analyze the regional trends and patterns of racial
concentrations as it relates to areas of affluence. The combination in the R/ECAP and
areas of affluence analyses will help guide goals and actions to address fair housing
issues. The analysis should evaluate the patterns and changes over time and consider
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 2
October 22, 2021
other relevant factors, such as public participation, past policies, practices, and
investments and demographic trends.
Access to Opportunity: The element provides some information (p. 3.41) on access to
opportunity but fails to provide local and regional analysis of trends and patterns for all
components. A complete analysis should include local and regional disparities of the
educational, environmental, transportation, and economic scores through local, federal,
and/or state data; and provide a description of education, environment, and
employment. It should also include analyses for disability and access to transit. Please
refer to page 35 of the AFFH guidebook (link: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-
development/affh/index.shtml#guidance) for specific factors that should be considered
when analyzing access to opportunities as it pertains to educational, employment,
environmental, transportation, and any factors that are unique to Lake Elsinore.
Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement Risk: The element includes data
and analysis on cost-burdened households but must also analyze regional trends and
pattens on overcrowded households, substandard housing conditions, and households
at risk of displacement as well as local and regional patterns of homelessness and
conclude with a summary of issues.
Site Inventory: The map of the approved projects inventory shows a concentration of
very low- and extremely low-income (ELI) sites in low resource areas. The element
must describe how the City will address this and include a program to mitigate the
impact. Additionally, the analysis should evaluate the sites relative to other categories
such as access to opportunity. The analysis should also address how the sites are
identified to improve conditions (or if sites exacerbate conditions, how a program can
mitigate the impact), whether the sites are isolated by income group and should be
supported by local data and knowledge.
Contributing Factors: The element relies heavily on Riverside County data to explain
contributing factors, but the element should include data specific to Lake Elsinore. The
element must list and prioritize contributing factors to fair housing issues. Contributing
factors create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of fair housing issues,
are fundamental to adequate goals and actions, and must be related to the overall
analysis. Examples include community opposition to affordable housing, housing
discrimination, land use and zoning laws, lack of regional cooperation, location and
type or lack of affordable housing and lack of public or private investment in areas of
opportunity or affordable housing choices. The analysis shall result in strategic
approaches to inform and connect goals and actions to mitigate contributing factors to
affordable housing.
Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: Goals and actions must significantly seek to
overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. Currently, the element identifies
program(s) to encourage and promote affordable housing; however, most of these
programs do not appear to address AFFH requirements. Furthermore, the element
must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and
fair housing results.
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 3
October 22, 2021
Programs also need to be based on identified contributing factors, be significant and
meaningful. The element must add, and revise programs based on a complete analysis
and listing and prioritization of contributing factors to fair housing issues. Furthermore,
the element must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs,
actions, and fair housing results. For more information, please see HCD’s guidance at
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtm.
2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including
vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment
during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income
level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to
these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
The City has a regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) of 6,681 housing units, of
which 2,977 are for lower-income households. To address this need, the element relies
on vacant sites, including sites in Specific Plan Areas. To demonstrate the adequacy of
these sites and strategies to accommodate the City’s RHNA, the element must include
complete a vacant sites analysis:
Progress in Meeting the RHNA: The element indicates 18,403 units are entitled, of
which 4,488 units in the Specific Plan will be affordable to low-income households (p.
4.17, Table 4.8). The element is unclear, however, about whether these units are part
of a submitted development project or part of a specific or master plan community
where project approvals are still required. For projects that have yet to receive
entitlements, the element must include information on remaining approvals necessary
prior to entitlement, timing for those approvals, and whether units are expected to be
built within the planning period. Sites without pending projects should be included in
the sites inventory rather than credited as a project. In addition, to credit units from
pending and proposed projects toward the regional housing need, the element must
demonstrate the affordability of units based on actual or projected sales prices, rent
levels, or other mechanisms establishing affordability in the planning period.
Zoning for Lower-Income Households: The site inventory is relying on zoning that
allows up to 24 units per acre to accommodate the lower-income housing need.
Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c)(3)(A) and (B), the
element must identify sites with zoning and densities appropriate to encourage and
facilitate the development of housing for lower-income households based on factors
such as market demand, financial feasibility, and development experience within
zones. For communities with densities that meet specific standards (at least 30 units
per acre for Lake Elsinore), this analysis is not required (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd.
(c)(3)(B)). While the element (p. 4.9) lists some affordable developments occurring at
densities between 18 and 26 units per acre, the element must include a complete
analysis to demonstrate how the zoning is appropriate to facilitate the development of
units affordable for lower-income households.
Realistic Capacity: The City uses maximum density allowed in the mixed-use zone
multiplied by the size of the parcel. The estimate of the number of units for each site
must be adjusted as necessary, based on the land-use controls and site
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 4
October 22, 2021
improvements, typical densities of existing or approved residential developments at a
similar affordability level in that jurisdiction, and on the current or planned availability
and accessibility of sufficient water, sewer, and dry utilities. The element also needs to
analyze the likelihood that the identified units will be developed as noted in the
inventory in zones that allow 100 percent nonresidential uses (e.g., mixed-use). If sites
are rezoned to mixed-use, consider competing uses, the extent nonresidential uses are
allowed, and environmental constraints limiting the usage. Also, there should be
analysis on typical densities of existing or approved residential developments at a
similar affordability level in that jurisdiction. This analysis should consider the likelihood
of nonresidential development, performance standards, and development trends
supporting residential development.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The element assumes an ADU build out of 12 ADUs
per year based on the most recent (2020) production and changes in legislation. Given
that the City has produced an average of four units per year between 2019 and 2020, it
is not clear if this production level will be achievable in the planning period. As a result,
the element should be updated to include a realistic estimate of the potential for ADUs
and include policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs. Depending
on the analysis, the element must commit to monitor ADU production throughout the
course of the planning period and implement additional actions if not meeting target
numbers anticipated in the housing element. In addition to monitoring production, this
program should also monitor affordability. Additional actions, if necessary, should be
taken in a timely manner (e.g., within 6 months). Finally, if necessary, the degree of
additional actions should be in stride with the degree of the gap in production and
affordability. For example, if actual production and affordability of ADUs is far from
anticipated trends, then rezoning or something similar would be an appropriate action.
If actual production and affordability is near anticipated trends, then measures like
outreach and marketing might be more appropriate.
Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:
• Emergency Shelters: The element must clarify if emergency shelters are a
permitted use by right and demonstrate the C-M and M-2 zones have sufficient
capacity to accommodate the identified housing need for emergency shelters. (Gov.
Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(4).) The element must also demonstrate consistency with
statutory requirements and include a program, as appropriate. For additional
information and a sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element-
memos/docs/sb2_memo050708.pdf.
• Transitional and Supportive Housing: The element shows transitional and
supportive housing are only allowed in the R-3, RMU and CMU zones, but these
housing types cannot be limited to specific zones. Transitional and supportive
housing must be permitted as a residential use in all zones allowing residential
uses, even nonresidential zones allowing residential, and only subject to those
restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same
zone. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).) The element must describe and analyze
the City’s transitional and supportive housing standards as a constraint and add or
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 5
October 22, 2021
revise programs that demonstrate consistency with Government Code section
65583, subdivision (a)(5).
Water Sewer Priority: For your information, water and sewer service providers must
establish specific procedures to grant priority water and sewer service to developments
with units affordable to lower-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65589.7.) Local
governments are required to immediately deliver the housing element to water and
sewer service providers. HCD recommends including a cover memo describing the
City’s housing element, including the City’s housing needs and regional housing need.
For additional information and sample cover memo, see the Building Blocks at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/other-
requirements/priority-for-water-sewer.shtml.
3. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance,
improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of
housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities
as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls,
building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions
required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures. The analysis shall
also demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the
locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need in accordance with
Government Code section 65584 and from meeting the need for housing for persons
with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters
identified pursuant to paragraph (7). Transitional housing and supportive housing shall
be considered a residential use of property and shall be subject only to those
restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone.
(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).)
Land-Use Controls: The element must identify and analyze all relevant land-use
controls impacts as potential constraints on a variety of housing types (e.g., multifamily
rental housing, mobilehomes, transitional housing). The analysis must also evaluate
the cumulative impacts of land-use controls on the cost and supply of housing,
including the ability to achieve maximum densities and cost and supply of housing. The
element indicates that height limits in multifamily zones are restricted to thirty feet,
which is the equivalent of two stories. The element should include an analysis of height
limits for multifamily in these zones and for those sites identified in the inventory (p.
3.9) as potential constraints and include programs to address or remove any potential
constraints as needed.
Zoning and Fees Transparency: The element must clarify its compliance with new
transparency requirements for posting all zoning and development standards and
associated fees for each parcel on the jurisdiction’s website pursuant to Government
Code section 65940.1, subdivision (a)(1).
Design Review: The element must describe and analyze the design review guidelines
and process, including approval procedures and decision-making criteria, for their
impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For example, the
analysis could describe required findings and discuss whether objective standards and
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 6
October 22, 2021
guidelines improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts. The element must
demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address
this permitting requirement, as appropriate.
On/Off-Site Improvements: The element must quantify subdivision level improvement
requirements, such as minimum street widths (e.g., 40-foot minimum street width), and
analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability.
4. Local Ordinances: The element must clarify if the City has an inclusionary ordinance. If
an inclusionary ordinance exists, the City must analyze that ordinance’s direct impact
on the cost and supply of residential development. The analysis should demonstrate
local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder the locality from meeting
its share of the regional housing need and from meeting the need for housing for
persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency
shelters.
5. Analyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including
a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of
households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov. Code, §
65583, subd. (a)(7).)
Special Needs Populations: While the element quantifies the City’s special needs
populations, it must also analyze their special housing needs. For a complete analysis
of each population group, the element should discuss challenges faced by the
population, the existing resources to meet those needs (e.g., availability of senior
housing units, number of large units, number of deed restricted units, etc.), an
assessment of any gaps in resources, and proposed policies, programs, and funding to
help address those gaps.
B. Housing Programs
1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period,
each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs
are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the
planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to
implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the housing element
through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of
regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and
state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an
identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the
various actions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
To address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision
(c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, all programs should include: (1) a description
of the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation timelines; (3)
objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies
and officials. Programs to be revised include the following:
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 7
October 22, 2021
All programs should be reviewed and revised to include items (1) through (4) as stated
above. While many programs contain objectives and timelines, many do not. The
element should be revised to address any of these deficiencies, including those noted
below:
Program 1 (Code Enforcement): This program commits to rehabilitation and
preservation of existing units as opportunities arise but should also indicate a specific
timeframe and implementation date. The program should be revised to describe its
outreach process and how frequently the City will apply for funds.
Program 7 (Affordable Housing Development): This program commits to making a list
of City-Owned properties suitable for affordable housing available to developers and
non-profit agencies, pre-application technical assistance, and incentives. In paragraph
three the City commits to providing, when available and appropriate, developer
incentives. The program should be revised to clarify what is meant by providing
incentives “when available and appropriate” and state how these incentives are
decided upon and approved. The program should also be revised to quantify the City’s
commitment and offer specific, meaningful actions within the planning period.
Program 14 (Special Needs Housing): This program commits to giving priority to
special needs projects, encouraging non-profits to pursue funding for special needs
housing, and assisting developers seeking state and federal funding. However, it is not
clear what specific actions the City is taking in any of those areas. The program should
be revised to clarify how the City intends on prioritizing these projects and offer specific
objectives to do so. The element should also clarify what actions and how the City
intends on encouraging non-profit organizations and assisting developers.
Program 15 (Resources to Address Homeless Need): This program commits to
addressing needs of at-risk and homeless through assistance to non-profits, continuing
to work with non-profit organizations to aid residents in need and offering technical
assistance, and using the Lake Elsinore Homeless Task Force to further the City’s
efforts. However, it is unclear of what specific actions the City intends on taking. The
program should be revised to specify actions and objectives for each category and
answer when the City intends on applying for the stated funds and what kind of
assistance will or can be granted to the non-profits.
Program 19 (ADUs): This program commits to promoting the development of ADUs by
implementing a permit streamlining process, providing technical resources, and
providing written information. The program should be revised to clarify how the
streamlining process will be implemented and clarify the types of technical resources
the City plans on providing to interested property owners, and the types of “written
information” the City will produce or has available.
Program 20 (Specific Plans): This program commits to promoting development within
existing and future specific plan areas but does not state how the City will go about
promoting development. The program should be revised to offer specific actions and
how they intend on promoting different varieties of housing.
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 8
October 22, 2021
Program 23 (Residential Development Standards): This program commits to reviewing
development standards, assessing potential for density increases, and exploring the
potential of establishing prototype development plans. The City should consider going
beyond exploring and commit to beneficial actions within a specified timeframe.
2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period
with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to
accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need
for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the
inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and
to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be
identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types
of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built
housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-
room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing.
(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
As noted in Finding A2, the element does not include a complete site analysis;
therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results
of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise
programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of
housing types.
3. Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and
nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of
housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with
disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable
accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with
supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).)
As noted in Finding B3, the element requires a complete analysis of potential
governmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may
need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified
constraints.
Program to Mitigate Governmental Constraints: The element must be revised to
include a program that mitigates governmental constraints that create a gap in the
jurisdictions ability to meet RHNA by income category (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd.
(c)(3).).
Program 25 (Affirmatively Further Fair Housing): Among other components, Program 25
commits to review and revise the definition of family and residential care facilities for 7 or
more persons. The City’s current definition of family limits persons in single housing
keeping units unrelated to 6 or fewer. The program should be revised to include
commitments beyond “reviewing” the ordinance but must commit to specific actions and
timeframes to amend definition of family to be consistent with fair housing laws and to
address the constraint for the definition of family. In addition, amendments to the zoning
code for residential group homes for seven or more persons should not just address state
law but also ensure that approval procedures do not constraint development of housing for
persons with disabilities.
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Draft Housing Element Page 9
October 22, 2021
4. Promote AFFH opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or
communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry,
national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics protected by
the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (Part 2.8 (commencing with Section
12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair
housing and planning law. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).)
Program to AFFH: While the element includes Program 25 which describes how the
City’s fair housing initiatives, it must also include stronger actions that promote AFFH
opportunities. For example, the element could include a program committing to
implement Government Code section 8899.50, subdivision (b), which requires the City
to administer its programs and activities relating to housing and community
development in a manner to AFFH and take no action that is materially inconsistent
with its obligation to AFFH. Specifically, AFFH means taking meaningful actions that,
taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to
opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced
living patterns, transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into
areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair
housing laws. The duty to AFFH extends to all public agency’s activities and programs
relating to housing and community development.
C. Public Participation
Local governments shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all
economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the
element shall describe this effort. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd.(c)(8).)
While the element includes a general summary of the public participation process (pp.
1.4to 1.9), it must also demonstrate diligent efforts were made to involve all economic
segments of the community in the development of the housing element. In addition, the
element should also summarize the public comments and describe how they were
considered and incorporated into the element.
The cover letter states the draft was made available to the public August 16, 2021 but was
electronically submitted to HCD on August 23, 2021. By not providing an opportunity for
the public to review and comment on a draft of the element in advance of submission, the
City has not yet complied with statutory mandates to make a diligent effort to encourage
the public participation in the development of the element and it reduces HCD’s ability to
consider public comments in the course of its review. The availability of the document to
the public and opportunity for public comment prior to submittal to HCD is essential to the
public process and HCD’s review. The City must proactively make future revisions
available to the public, including any commenters, prior to submitting any revisions to HCD
and diligently consider and address comments, including making revisions to the
document where appropriate. HCD’s future review will consider the extent to which the
revised element documents how the City solicited, considered, and addressed public
comments in the element. The City’s consideration of public comments must not be limited
by HCD’s findings in this review letter.
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings and City Response
1
HCD Findings in 10/22/21 Letter City Edits/Response in Revised Draft Housing Element
A1. AFFH: Local Data and Knowledge: While the element includes state and regional data, the element must
also include local data and knowledge to supplement the analyses. Local knowledge includes any information
obtained through the community participation process. It can be a valuable means of supplementing county
and state data and is important for providing context in a fair housing analysis. For more information on using
local data, please refer to page 47 of the HUD AFFH rulebook
https://www.hud.gov/sites/dfiles/FHEO/documents/AFF
H-Rule-Guidebook.pdf.
Local data added to the Element:
1. Summary of relevant issues from the public outreach process and form historical patterns of
development
2. Local fair housing inquiry data from the Fair Housing Council of Riverside County
3. HUD Low- and Moderate-Income area data
4. The Access to Opportunity discussion has been expanded to address educational, environmental,
transportation (access to transit), and employmen t factors.
5. Disproportionate housing need: regional context is added as well as a discussion on homelessness.
A1. AFFH: Integration and Segregation: The element includes data on integration and segregation at the
regional and local level for race, disability, and familial status (p. 3.34). However, it must also describe local and
regional trends and patterns of segregation and integration by income, complemented by data, and concluding
with a summary of issues.
Chapter 3 under the “Segregation and Opportunity Patterns and Trends” heading has been edited to add
local and regional trends and patterns of segregation and integration by income, complemented by data
(HUD LMI data), and a summary of issues under this heading has been added.
A1. AFFH: Racial/Ethnic Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP): While the element includes information and
analysis relative to local R/ECAP, it should also include regional trends and patterns. The analysis must be
complemented by quantitative evidence fo r the regional comparison and describe how the City’s R/ECAP
compares to the rest of the City. In addition, the City should also analyze the regional trends and patterns of
racial concentrations as it relates to areas of affluence. The combination in the R /ECAP and areas of affluence
analyses will help guide goals and actions to address fair housing issues. The analysis should evaluate the
patterns and changes over time and consider other relevant factors, such as public participation, past policies,
practices, and investments and demographic trends.
The R/ECAP and Areas of Affluence discission is edited to add a regional comparison,
As a result of the analysis, Program 25 is edited to address concentration of minority, low - and moderate-
income population, households experiencing disproportionate need and displacement risk. The program
includes a list of contributing factors and related action items.
A1. AFFH: Access to Opportunity: The element provides some information (p. 3.41) on access to opportunity but
fails to provide local and regional analysis of trends and patterns for all components. A complete analysis should
include local and regional disparities of the educational, environmental, transportation, and economic scores
through local, federal, and /or state data; and provide a description of education, environment, and
employment. It should also include analyses for disability and access to transit. Please refer to page 35 of the
AFFH guidebook (link: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtml#guidance) for
specific factors that should be considered when analyzing access to opportunities as it pertains to educational,
employment, environmental, transportation, and any factors that are unique to Lake Elsinore.
The Access to Opportunity discussion has been expanded to address educational, environmental,
transportation (access to transit), and employment factors. The Disability discussion has been supplemented
with information about housing needs and resources.
As a result of the analysis, Program 25 is edited to address disparities in Access to Opportunity. The program
includes a list of contributing factors and related action items.
A1. AFFH: Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement Risk: The element includes data and analysis on
cost-burdened households but must also analyze regional trends and pattens on overcrowded households,
substandard housing conditions, and households at risk of displacement as well as local and regional patterns of
homelessness and conclude with a summary of issues.
The Disproportionate Housing Needs and Displacement Risk has been updated to add:
• Regional trends and pattens on overcrowded households and substandard housing conditions;
• Households at risk of displacement;
• Local and regional patterns of homelessness; and
• A summary of issues.
A1. AFFH: Site Inventory: The map of the approved projects inventory shows a concentration of very low - and
extremely low-income (ELI) sites in low resource areas. The element must describe how the City will address
this and include a program to mitigate the impact. Additionally, the analysis should evaluate the sites relative to
other categories such as access to opportunity. The analysis should also address how the sites are identified to
improve conditions (or if sites exacerbate conditions, how a program can mitigate the impact), whether the
sites are isolated by income group and should be supported by local data and knowledge.
The current analysis evaluates the sites relative access to opportunity:
“Most areas designated for future specific plan development are identified as high resources areas …All non-
Specific Plan sites (vacant HDR and RMU sites which make up 35 percent of the lower -income RHNA sites)
are in lower resources areas in and around Downtown Lake Elsinore and north of the Lake. Based on the
AFFH analysis, this area also has a higher proportion of renter households, non -White residents, residents
living in poverty, children living in female headed households, overcrowded households, and co st burdened
renter households.”
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings and City Response
2
HCD Findings in 10/22/21 Letter City Edits/Response in Revised Draft Housing Element
The section is edited to address the fact that the sites inventory represents both improved and exacerbated
fair housing and equal opportunity conditions.
The Section shows the actions the City has and will undertake to ad dress needs in parts of the areas where
fair housing and equal opportunity conditions are exacerbated. As a result of the analysis, Program 9 directs
the City to pursue land purchases for residential development, redevelop tax -delinquent properties,
consolidate parcels to create larger, development ready pads in/near Downtown , pursue modifications to
residential development standards to facilitate development in Downtown , and identify funding sources to
invest in infrastructure and housing.
A1. AFFH: Contributing Factors: The element relies heavily on Riverside County data to explain contributing
factors, but the element should include data specific to Lake Elsinore. The element must list and prioritize
contributing factors to fair housing issues. Contribu ting factors create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase
the severity of fair housing issues, are fundamental to adequate goals and actions, and must be related to the
overall analysis. Examples include community opposition to affordable housing, housin g discrimination, land
use and zoning laws, lack of regional cooperation, location and type or lack of affordable housing and lack of
public or private investment in areas of opportunity or affordable housing choices. The analysis shall result in
strategic approaches to inform and connect goals and actions to mitigate contributing factors to affordable
housing.
A new section has been added that Identification and Prioritization of Contributing Factors in Lake Elsinore.
Two issues and a variety of contributing factors are listed. These are used to inform and connect goals and
actions to mitigate contributing factors to affordable housing (see next comment).
A1. AFFH: Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: Goals and actions must significantly seek to ov ercome
contributing factors to fair housing issues. Currently, the element identifies program(s) to encourage and
promote affordable housing; however, most of these programs do not appear to address AFFH requirements.
Furthermore, the element must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions,
and fair housing results. Programs also need to be based on identified contributing factors, be significant and
meaningful. The element must add, and revise programs based on a complete a nalysis and listing and
prioritization of contributing factors to fair housing issues. Furthermore, the element must include metrics and
milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results. For more information, please
see HCD’s guidance at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtm.
The element (particularly Program 25 in Chapter 6) is revised and enhanced with additional program actions
based on the complete analysis and listing and prioritization of contributing factors to fair housing issues.
2. Progress in Meeting the RHNA: The element indicates 18,403 units are entitled, of which 4,488 units in the
Specific Plan will be affordable to low-income households (p. 4.17, Table 4.8). The element is unclear, however,
about whether these units are part of a submitted development project or part of a specific or master plan
community where project approvals are still required. For projects that have yet to receive entitlements, the
element must include information on remaining approvals necessary prior to entitlement, timing for those
approvals, and whether units are expected to be built within the planning period. Sites without pending
projects should be included in the sites inventory rather than credited as a project. In addition, to credit units
from pending and proposed projects toward the regional housing need, the element must demonstrate the
affordability of units based on actual or projected sales prices, rent levels, or othe r mechanisms establishing
affordability in the planning period.
Chapter 4 has been edited to move the Specific Plan capacity from the approved projects section to the site
inventory section. In addition, additional information about the level of entitlemen t has been added to Table
4.6 to show which Specific Plan areas will most likely develop during the planning period. As a result of the
revised analysis two Specific Plan were removed:
• Villages at Lakeshore Specific Plan: In 2020, permits were issued for full capacity.
• Alberhill Villages Specific Plan area: While the Plan has a remaining capacity of over 8,000 units,
active mining activities preclude its development within the planning period.
The Specific Plan developers and/or property owners have not specifically included affordable units—
although any of the projects could be implemented to include affordable units —and housing costs are not
yet known. However, a comparison of affordability limits and current home prices and rental rates shows
that a portion of the units will be affordable to lower - and moderate-income households based on 2018-2020
market rental and for-sale data. Development within Specific Plan areas will allow for a wider range of
housing types, sizes, and amenities and more than ha lf of units will be single family homes. These factors
require that affordability be distributed among the low, moderate, and above moderate -income categories.
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings and City Response
3
HCD Findings in 10/22/21 Letter City Edits/Response in Revised Draft Housing Element
Program 20 has also been edits to add more action items to encourage development of the City’s Specific
Plans. Specifically, the City will maintain a list of Specific Plans with remining development capacity and the
entitlement levels for each one. The City will reach out every other year to owners/developers of Specific
Plans with no entitlements actions to identify any issue that may be within the control of the City. During the
outreach process, the City will provide information to owners/developers about available housing funds to
assist in the development of affordable housing within Specific P lan areas.
Zoning for Lower-Income Households: The site inventory is relying on zoning that allows up to 24 units per acre
to accommodate the lower-income housing need. Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision
(c)(3)(A) and (B), the element must identify sites with zoning and densities appropriate to encourage and
facilitate the development of housing for lower-income households based on factors such as market demand,
financial feasibility, and development experience within zones. For commu nities with densities that meet
specific standards (at least 30 units per acre for Lake Elsinore), this analysis is not required (Gov. Code, §
65583.2, subd. (c)(3)(B)). While the element (p. 4.9) lists some affordable developments occurring at densities
between 18 and 26 units per acre, the element must include a complete analysis to demonstrate how the
zoning is appropriate to facilitate the development of units affordable for lower -income households.
Due to the availability of undeveloped land and relat ively lower costs (compared to other jurisdictions),
housing in Lake Elsinore is more affordable. Many new market-rate units can provide affordability at the
lower-income level even at market-rate costs. The sites inventory includes 28 vacant sites zoned to allow 19
to 24 units per acre. In Lake Elsinore, ALL affordable housing developments have been built at similar or
lower densities. The Department’s letter states that the element lists “some” affordable developments
occurring at densities between 18 and 26 units per acre. In fact, the element lists 7 affordable developments
that were built in zones that allowed for densities of up to 18 units per acre and the 4 projects that were
developed in a zone that allows up to 24 units per acre. This shows that de nsity is not a barrier to
development of affordable housing and that assuming very low -income affordability for HDR and RMU sites
is reasonable and supported by data.
Chapter 4 under the “Densities Appropriate for Accommodating Lower Income Housing” headi ng
is edited to present affordability assumptions for the two categories of sites in the Element: remaining
Specific Plan capacity and vacant HDR/RMU sites. Additional information has been added and shows that
based on the site locations and the assumptio n that the Specific Plan areas will be more single -family in
nature, different affordability assumptions are provided.
Realistic Capacity: The City uses maximum density allowed in the mixed -use zone multiplied by the size of the
parcel. The estimate of the number of units for each site must be adjusted as necessary, based on the land -use
controls and site improvements, typical densities of existing or approved residential developments at a similar
affordability level in that jurisdiction, and on the current or planned availability and accessibility of sufficient
water, sewer, and dry utilities. The element also needs to analyze the likelihood that the identified units will be
developed as noted in the inventory in zones that allow 100 percent nonresidential uses (e.g., mixed-use). If
sites are rezoned to mixed-use, consider competing uses, the extent nonresidential uses are allowed, and
environmental constraints limiting the usage. Also, there should be analysis on typical densities of existing or
approved residential developments at a similar affordability level in that jurisdiction. This analysis should
consider the likelihood of nonresidential development, performance standards, and development trends
supporting residential development.
The discussion on realistic capacity shows that using the median density is reasonable based on similar
projects. For the mixed-use sites, we explain that the RMU zone was chosen over the CMU zone because it is
in residential areas and is expected to develop wi th a residential character with non-residential uses in a very
limit capacity that will not impact densities. The Department’s letter states that “If sites are rezoned to
mixed-use” but we are clarifying that the Element does not propose any rezoning. The City has ample vacant
land with appropriate zoning to accommodate the RHNA.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The element assumes an ADU build out of 12 ADUs per year based on the most
recent (2020) production and changes in legislation. Given that the City has produced an average of four units
per year between 2019 and 2020, it is not clear if this production level will be achievable in the planning period.
As a result, the element should be updated to include a realistic estimate of the potential for ADUs and include
policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs. Depending on the analysis, the element must
commit to monitor ADU production throughout the course of the planning period and implement additional
actions if not meeting target numbers anticipated in the housing element. In addition to monitoring production,
Per the Department’s letter, the ADU has been adjusted downwards. In 2019, two ADUs were permitted; in
2020, six ADUs were permitted; In 2021 the City has approved nine ADU applications. Although the City
believes that demand for ADU development will continue to increase, the ADU estimate of 12 per year (total
of 100) has been adjusted to 6 per year (total of 50) based o n current trends and favorable ADU legislation
which has created new incentives and streamlined processes to build ADUs and the City’s efforts to publicize
ADU development.
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings and City Response
4
HCD Findings in 10/22/21 Letter City Edits/Response in Revised Draft Housing Element
this program should also monitor affordability. Additional actions, if necessary, should be taken in a timely
manner (e.g., within 6 months). Finally, if necessary, the degree of additional actions should be in stride with
the degree of the gap in production and affordability. For example, if actual production and affordability of
ADUs is far from anticipated trends, then rezoning or something similar would be an appropriate actio n. If
actual production and affordability is near anticipated trends, then measures like outreach and marketing might
be more appropriate.
Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:
• Emergency Shelters: The element must clarify if emergency shelters are a permitted use by right and
demonstrate the C-M and M-2 zones have sufficient capacity to accommodate the identified housing need for
emergency shelters. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(4).) The element must also d emonstrate consistency with
statutory requirements and include a program, as appropriate. For additional information and a sample
analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community -development/housing-
element/housing-element-memos/docs/sb2_memo050708.pdf.
Zoning for emergency shelters is addressed under Table 3.3 with a footnote that explains that “Emergency
shelters are permitted as a by-right use in the C-M Commercial Manufacturing District and M-2 General
Manufacturing District per Zone Code Amendment No. 2012-03 (http://www.lake-
elsinore.org/home/showdocument?id=9759). See LEMC Chapter 17.132.150-Emergency shelter use and
development standards for details.”
In Chapter 3 under the Emergency Shelters and Low Barrier Navigation Centers he ading, zoning for
Emergency Shelters is edited to add “by-right”. “In 2012, the City amended the Zoning Code (Ordinance No.
CC-2012-1309) to allow for the development of emergency shelters. Consistent with SB 2, emergency
shelters are permitted as a by-right use in the C-M (Commercial Manufacturing) and M -2 (General
Manufacturing) zones. LEMC Title 17.132.150 (Emergency shelter use and development standards) outlines
development standards and operational regulations consistent with State law.” The section is further edited
to add a more detailed description of the size, uses, and transportation access to the C -M and M-2 zones.
Sites with Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:
• Transitional and Supportive Housing: The element shows transitional and supportive housing are only
allowed in the R-3, RMU and CMU zones, but these housing types cannot be limited to specific zones.
Transitional and supportive housing must be permitted as a residential use in all zones allowing residential
uses, even nonresidential zones allowing residential, and only subject to those restrictions that apply to other
residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).) The element must
describe and analyze the City’s transitional and sup portive housing standards as a constraint and add or
revise programs that demonstrate consistency with Government Code section 65583, subdivision (a)(5).
In Lake Elsinore, transitional housing and supportive housing are permitted in, and subject to the sta ndards
outlined in, the R-3, RMU, and CMU zones. As a result, the City will have to amend its zoning ordinance to
comply with SB 2.
In Chapter 3 the discussion under the Transitional and Supportive Housing heading, is edited to add “SB 2
requires that the City treat transitional and supportive housing as a residential use and only subject to those
restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone (Government Code
Section 65583(a)(5)). In other words, transitional hou sing and supportive housing must be permitted in all
zones allowing residential uses and are not subject to any not imposed on similar dwellings (e.g., single -
family homes, apartments) in the same zone in which the transitional housing and supportive housi ng is
located. For example, transitional housing located in an apartment building in a multifamily zone is permitted
in the same manner as an apartment building in the same zone and supportive housing located in a single -
family home in a single-family zone is permitted in the same manner as a single-family home in the same
zone. The City will amend its zoning standards for transitional and supportive housing to comply with SB 2
(Program 22).”
Program 22 in the Housing Plan (Chapter 6) is edited to add SB 2 compliance for transitional and supportive
housing as an action item.
Water Sewer Priority: For your information, water and sewer service providers must establish specific
procedures to grant priority water and sewer service to developments with units af fordable to lower-income
households. (Gov. Code, § 65589.7.) Local governments are required to immediately deliver the housing
element to water and sewer service providers. HCD recommends including a cover memo describing the City’s
The Department’s comments are noted. Program 16 was included in the submitted draft and includes the
following action item:
“To facilitate effective coordination between local planning and water and sewer service functions to ensure
adequate water and sewer capacity is available to accommodate housing needs, following Housing Element

adoption, deliver the 2021-2029 Lake Elsinore Housing Element to all providers of sewer and water service
within the City of Lake Elsinore in accordance with Government Code §65589.7.”
3. Land-Use Controls: The element must identify and analyze all relevant land -use controls impacts as potential
constraints on a variety of housing types (e.g., multifamily rental housing, mobilehomes, transitional housing).
The analysis must also evaluate the cumulative impacts of land -use controls on the cost and supply of housing,
including the ability to achieve maximum densities and cost and supply of housing. The element indicates that
height limits in multifamily zones are restricted to thirty feet, w hich is the equivalent of two stories. The
element should include an analysis of height limits for multifamily in these zones and for those sites identified in
the inventory (p. 3.9) as potential constraints and include programs to address or remove any po tential
constraints as needed.
In Chapter 3 the discussion under the Multi-family Housing heading is updated to include the following:
“Building height requirements in Lake Elsinore are not a constraint to development. Table 3.4 shows that the
City has a 30-foot building height limit in all residential zones and no height limit in the two mixed use zones
(RMU and CMU). Building code standards require at least 7’6” per floor plus ceiling space for mechanical,
electrical and plumbing engineering which allows for development of three stories. The site inventory
includes capacity for 2,392 lower income units on sites zoned R -3 and RMU. The sites identified in the RMU
zone (1,090 total units or 58% of the very low income RHNA) are not subject to a building height
requirement. The height requirement for the sites identified in the R -3 zone (1,302 total units) are not
constrained by the building height requirement. Recent affordable housing developments have been
constructed in Lake Elsinore with 2 to 3 stories. The 81-unit, affordable Mission Trails Apartment built in
2019 was developed with three floors.”
Table 3.4 is edited to note that in the CMU and RMU zones there is no maximum height limit.
Zoning and Fees Transparency: The element must clarify its complia nce with new transparency requirements
for posting all zoning and development standards and associated fees for each parcel on the jurisdiction’s
website pursuant to Government Code section 65940.1, subdivision (a)(1).
Chapter 3 under the “LEMC Title 17 (Zoning)” heading has been edited to note that the City of Lake Elsinore
Zoning standards can be accessed online through the City’s website (www.lake-elsinore.org/city-
government/municipal-code).
Chapter 3 under the “Fees and Exaction” heading section in Chapter 3 has been edited to note that The City’s
Engineering Division contracts with outside firms for plan check of project -related plans. City of Lake Elsinore
Zoning fees can be accessed online through the City’s website at http://www.lake -elsinore.org/city-hall/city-
departments/public-works/engineering/fees/plan-check-fees.
Design Review: The element must describe and analyze the design review guidelines and process, including
approval procedures and decision -making criteria, for their impact as potential constraints on housing supply
and affordability. For example, the analysis could describe required findings and discuss whether objective
standards and guidelines improve development certainty and mitigate cost impacts. The element must
demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting
requirement, as appropriate.
A new heading in Chapter 3 (“Design Review”) has been added to e xplain the design review process and list
the design concepts and findings required for design review.
The design review process is not a constraint to residential development in Lake Elsinore. By and large the
City has not recommended denial of residential projects in general and less so on design review. The design
review process also does not negatively impact as the City’s already short processing time and the criteria for
design review is generally objective. In compliance with SB 330, the City will adopt objective design standards
to ensure that the City can provide local guidance on design and clearly articulate objective design standards
for by-right projects as allowed by state law (Program 12). Part of the objective design standards creation
process will include assessing how the standards can be used to encourage a variety of housing types and
limit the size of residential units on multi -family zoned properties to encourage units that are affordable by
design.
On/Off-Site Improvements: The element must quantify subdivision level improvement requirements, such as
minimum street widths (e.g., 40-foot minimum street width), and analyze their impact as potential constraints
on housing supply and affordability.
Chapter 3 under the “On- and Off-Site Improvements” heading section in Chapter 3 has been edited to add
the following information:
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings and City Response
6
HCD Findings in 10/22/21 Letter City Edits/Response in Revised Draft Housing Element
“Required on-site improvements for residential development are determined largely by the zoning of the
property. Lake Elsinore’s requirements for on -site improvements are typical of California communities and
are not considered to be unusually restrictive or as a constraint on the development of housing. In a typical
subdivision, minimum street right of way must be provided. The City of Lake Elsinore General Plan’s roadway
system forms the core of the City’s circulation infrastructure and includes a hierarchy consisting of seven (7)
classifications: augmented urban arterial, urban arterial, major, secondary, collector, divided collector, and
special new roadway. Streets not shown on the General Plan’s Roadway Classification figure are considered
Local Streets. The required street width construction for a typical subdivision would most likely range from a
60-foot right of way for local streets up to 120-foot right-of-way for an urban arterial highway (Figure 2.2 in
the General Plan’s Community Form Chapter). Narrower streets may be allowed within some adopted
Specific Plans.”
4. Local Ordinances: The element must clarify if the City has an inclusionary ordinance. If a n inclusionary
ordinance exists, the City must analyze that ordinance’s direct impact on the cost and supply of residential
development. The analysis should demonstrate local efforts to remove governmental constraints that hinder
the locality from meeting its share of the regional housing need and from meeting the need for housing for
persons with disabilities, supportive housing, transitional housing, and emergency shelters.
The City has no local ordinances that directly impact the cost and supply of resid ential development such as
inclusionary ordinances, short-term rental ordinances, or moratoriums on specific development types. The
discussion in Chapter 3 under the Local Ordinances heading is updated to add the following information: “In
the City’s Redevelopment Project Areas all new residential development must pay a $2.00 per square foot
Affordable Housing in Lieu
Fee. The fee is very low and has not been a constraint or deterrent to residential development.”
5. Special Needs Populations: While the element quantifies the City’s special needs populations, it must also
analyze their special housing needs. For a complete analysis of each population group, the element should
discuss challenges faced by the population, the existing resources to meet those needs (e.g., availability of
senior housing units, number of large units, number of deed restricted units, etc.), an assessment of any gap s in
resources, and proposed policies, programs, and funding to help address those gaps.
Chapter 2 (under the “Special Housing Needs” heading) has been edits to add information on challenges and
resources for the special needs housing groups and includes references to program in the Housing Plan
(Chapter 6).
B1: Programs:
All programs should be reviewed and revised to include items (1) through (4) as stated above. all programs
should include: (1) a description of the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation
timelines; (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and
officials. While many programs contain objectives and timelines, many do not.
All programs have been reviewed to ensu re that the required components are present. Objectives have been
added to all programs. In cases where there are specific numerical objectives, “Quantified Objectives” are
indicated. For programs with more general, non -numerical objectives, “Objectives” are indicated.
Program 1 (Code Enforcement): This program commits to rehabilitation and preservation of existing units as
opportunities arise but should also indicate a specific timeframe and implementation date. The program should
be revised to describe its outreach process and how frequently the City will apply for funds.
Program 1 is updates to add a more detailed description of the City’s role, a more specific timeframe for fund
application and quantification of progress.
Program 7 (Affordable Housing Development): This program commits to making a list of City-Owned properties
suitable for affordable housing available to developers and non -profit agencies, pre-application technical
assistance, and incentives. In paragraph three the City commits to provi ding, when available and appropriate,
developer incentives. The program should be revised to clarify what is meant by providing incentives “when
available and appropriate” and state how these incentives are decided upon and approved. The program should
also be revised to quantify the City’s commitment and offer specific, meaningful actions within the planning
period.
Program 7 is updated to clarify what types of incentives are available and how the City decides when to offer
financial assistance (based on location within redevelopment areas or based on the appropriate level of
affordability). The Program is also updated to add a quantified objective.
Program 14 (Special Needs Housing): This program commits to giving priority to special needs projects,
encouraging non-profits to pursue funding for special needs housing, and assisting developers seeking state and
federal funding. However, it is not clear what specific actions the City is taking in any of those areas. The
program should be revised to clarify how the City intends on prioritizing these projects and offer specific
Program 14 is updated to provide clarification on the City’s role in implementation, prioritization and source
of funds, and an objective has been added to the program. The City will be proactive in advertising available
funds to assist in the development of special needs housing by a nnually contacting a list of developers and
stakeholders that may be interested in this type of development projects.
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings and City Response
7
HCD Findings in 10/22/21 Letter City Edits/Response in Revised Draft Housing Element
objectives to do so. The element should also clarify what actions and how the City intends on encouraging non -
profit organizations and assisting developers.
Program 15 (Resources to Address Homeless Need): This program commits to addressing needs of at -risk and
homeless through assistance to non-profits, continuing to work with non-profit organizations to aid residents in
need and offering technical assistance, and using the Lake Elsinore Homeless Task Force to further the City’s
efforts. However, it is unclear of what specific actions the City intends on taking. The program should be revised
to specify actions and objectives for each category and answer when the City intends on applying for the stated
funds and what kind of assistance will or can be granted to the non -profits.
Program 15 is updated to include specific on funding sources (CDBG), the City’s role in the Lake Elsinore
Homeless Task Force and participation in the Regional Homeless Alliance for Southwest Riverside County.
The timeframe is clarified to address funding and an objective has been added.
Program 19 (ADUs): This program commits to promoting the development of ADUs by implementing a permit
streamlining process, providing technical resources, and providing written information. The program should be
revised to clarify how the streamlining process will be implemented and clarify the types of technical resources
the City plans on providing to interested property owners, and the types of “written information” the City will
produce or has available.
Program 19 is updated to clarify that the City will abide by the streamlining requirements established by law,
the type of technical support and information to be provided as well as a more detailed timeframe and
adjusted ADU estimates based on revisions to the ADU projections in Chapter 4.
Program 20 (Specific Plans): This program commits to promoting development within existing and future
specific plan areas but does not state how the City will go about promoting development. The program should
be revised to offer specific actions and how they intend on promoting different varieties of housing.
Program 20 is updated to clarify the action the City will take to encourage development of housing in Specific
Plan Areas and includes a more detailed timeframe. While development of Specific Plan areas is largely out
of the City’s control, the City will maintain a list of Specific Plans with remining development capacity and the
entitlement levels for each one. The City will reach out every other year to owners/d evelopers of Specific
Plans with no entitlements actions to identify any issue that may be within the control of the City.
Program 23 (Residential Development Standards): This program commits to reviewing development standards,
assessing potential for density increases, and exploring the potential of establishing prototype development
plans. The City should consider going beyond exploring and commit to beneficial actions within a specified
timeframe. Program 23 is edited to provide more definitive actions.
2. As noted in Finding A2, the element does not include a complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of
sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City
may need to add or revise progra ms to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of
housing types.
Program 16: Adequate Sites is updated to reflect edits to the Sites Inventory:
• Revision of ADU estimates
• Revision to Specific Plan sites and capacity
3. As noted in Finding B3, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental constraints.
Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and
remove or mitigate any identified constraints.
Program to Mitigate Governmental Constraints: The element must be revised to include a program that
mitigates governmental constraints that create a gap in the jurisdictions ability to meet RHNA by income
category (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (c)(3).).
Program 22 is updated to include an action item to amend the City’s zoning regulations consistent with State
law that requires that the City treat transitional and supportive housing as a residential use and only subject
to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone
(Government Code Section 65583(a)(5)).
Program 25 (Affirmatively Further Fair Housing): Among other components, Program 25 commits to review and
revise the definition of family and residential care facilities for 7 or more persons. The City’s current definition
of family limits persons in single housing keeping units unrelated to 6 or fewer. The program should be revised
to include commitments beyond “reviewing” the ordinance but must commit to specific actions and timeframes
to amend definition of family to be consistent with fair housing laws and to address the constraint for the
definition of family. In addition, amendments to the zoning code for residential group homes for seven or more
persons should not just address state law but also ensure that approval procedures do not constraint
development of housing for persons with disabilities.
Program 25 is updated to remove the “review” action and instead commit to a revision of the definitions for
Residential Care Facilities and Family. The edits also clarify that revision of siting regulations f or residential
care facilities for 7 or more persons will ensure that approval procedures do not constraint development of
housing for persons with disabilities. A more specific timeframe is also added.

4. Program to AFFH: While the element includes Program 25 which describes how the City’s fair housing
initiatives, it must also include stronger actions that promote AFFH opportunities. For example, the element
could include a program committing to implement Government Code section 8899.50, subdivision (b), which
requires the City to administer its programs and activities relating to housing and community development in a
manner to AFFH and take no action that is materially inconsistent with its obligation to AFFH. Specifically, AFFH
means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in
access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns,
transforming racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity, and fostering and
maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws. The duty to AFFH extends to all public agency’s
activities and programs relating to housing and community development.
Program 25 has been revised and enhanced with additional program actions based on the complete analysis
and listing and prioritization of contributing factors to fair housing issues. An action item related to
implementation of Government Code section 8899.50, subdivision (b ) is also included.
C. While the element includes a general summary of the public participation process (pp. 1.4 to 1.9), it must
also demonstrate diligent efforts were made to involve all economic segments of the community in the
development of the housing element. In addition, the element should also summarize the public comments and
describe how they were considered and incorporated into the element. The cover letter states the draft was
made available to the public August 16, 2021 but was electronicall y submitted to HCD on August 23, 2021. By
not providing an opportunity for the public to review and comment on a draft of the element in advance of
submission, the City has not yet complied with statutory mandates to make a diligent effort to encourage the
public participation in the development of the element and it reduces HCD’s ability to consider public
comments in the course of its review. The availability of the document to the public and opportunity for public
comment prior to submittal to HCD is essential to the public process and HCD’s review. The City must
proactively make future revisions available to the public, including any commenters, prior to submitting any
revisions to HCD and diligently consider and address comments, including making revisi ons to the document
where appropriate. HCD’s future review will consider the extent to which the revised element documents how
the City solicited, considered, and addressed public comments in the element. The City’s consideration of public
comments must not be limited by HCD’s findings in this review letter.
Chapter 1 has been edited to explain the connection between public outreach and HE contents. Chapter 1
also provides a very detailed list and description of the City’s outreach efforts. Because some Cov id-19
pandemic public gathering limitations were still in place, the meeting was made available through
teleconferencing. To ensure that the housing concerns of low - and moderate-income and special needs
residents were addressed, the City notified agencies and organizations that serve these communities in Lake
Elsinore and surrounding areas. Stakeholder organizations servings families, youth, seniors, persons
experiencing homelessness, veterans, and persons with disabilities are included in the stakeholder list. The
list of agencies and organizations invited to the study session (and notified of the availability of the draft
Housing Element for comment) are listed in Appendix A. In addition to this list, 934 commercial business
license holders were also sent workshop invitations. Following the workshop, a summary of workshop
comments was posted on the City’s website along with the workshop video recording and presentations.

Lake Elsinore, CA 92530
Dear Jason Simpson:
RE: City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Revised Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Lake Elsinore’s (City) revised draft housing element
received for review on November 24, 2021. Pursuant to Government Code section
65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review.
The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be
necessary to comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code).
The enclosed Appendix describes the revisions needed to comply with State Housing
Element Law.
As a reminder, the City’s 6th cycle housing element was due October 15, 2021. As of
today, the City has not completed the housing element process for the 6th cycle. The
City’s 5th cycle housing element no longer satisfies statutory requirements. HCD
encourages the City to revise the element as described above, adopt, and submit to
HCD to regain housing element compliance.
For your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), if
a local government fails to adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the
statutory deadline (October 15, 2021), then any rezoning to accommodate the regional
housing needs allocation (RHNA), including for lower-income households, shall be
completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. Otherwise, the local
government’s housing element will no longer comply with State Housing Element Law,
and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance pursuant to Government
Code section 65585, subdivision (i).
Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing
element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element

process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that
represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly
available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate.
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 Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; 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 meets housing element requirements for these and other funding
sources.
We are committed to assist the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State
Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical
assistance, please contact Jamillah Williams, of our staff, at
Jamillah.Williams@hcd.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
Paul McDougall

APPENDIX
CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
The following changes are necessary to bring the City’s housing element into compliance with
Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the
supporting section of the Government Code.
Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-element/housing-element-memos.shtml.
Among other resources, the housing element section contains HCD’s latest technical assistance
tool, Building Blocks for Effective Housing Elements (Building Blocks), available at
http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/index.shtml and includes the
Government Code addressing State Housing Element Law and other resources.
A. Housing Needs, Resources, and Constraints
1.Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with
Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in
the jurisdiction (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A))
The element includes the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH); however, additional
information is necessary to address the requisite affirmatively furthering fair housing
(AFFH) analysis requirement, including local contributing factors to the fair housing
issues and develop strong programs and strategies to address the identified fair
housing issues as follows:
Disparities in Access to Opportunity: While the element included some additional
analysis (p. 3.47) for access to opportunity, it must still provide local analysis of trends
and patterns transportation and environment and a regional analysis for education. The
analysis should also address persons with disabilities and disparities in access to
transit. Please refer to page 35 of the AFFH guidebook (link:
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtml#guidance) for
specific factors that should be considered when analyzing access to opportunities.
Site Inventory: The map of the approved projects inventory shows a concentration of
very low- and extremely low-income (ELI) sites in low resource areas. While Program 9
was added to mitigate the impact of lower income concentration and the narrative
describes how the allocation of sites improves conditions, it does not address how sites
exacerbate conditions. Additionally, the analysis evaluates the sites relative to access
to opportunity but should also evaluate the income categories of identified sites with
respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that
affects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing
(e.g., racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (RE/CAPs), integration and
segregation, and disproportionate housing needs and displacement risk).
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Revised Draft Housing Element Page 2
January 21, 2022
Contributing Factors: While the element includes additional issue areas as well as
associated contributing factors, it does not explain how these factors are prioritized in
the analysis. The element must prioritize contributing factors to fair housing issues.
Contributing factors create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of fair
housing issues, are fundamental to adequate goals and actions, and must be related to
the overall analysis. Examples include community opposition to affordable housing,
housing discrimination, land use and zoning laws, lack of regional cooperation, location
and type or lack of affordable housing and lack of public or private investment in areas
of opportunity or affordable housing choices. The analysis must result in strategic
approaches to inform and connect goals and actions to mitigate contributing factors to
affordable housing.
Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: Goals and actions must significantly seek to
overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. While the revised draft includes
an overview of two issues in Lake Elsinore along with contributing factors, it does not
identify associated goals, metrics, and milestones. The element must include metrics
and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results.
Programs also need to be based on identified contributing factors, be significant and
meaningful. The element must add, and revise programs based on a complete analysis
and listing and prioritization of contributing factors to fair housing issues. For sites that
are in lower-resourced areas, the element must include specific actions that seek to
transform and address disparities in low resourced areas. Furthermore, the element
must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and
fair housing results. For more information, please see HCD’s guidance at
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtm.
2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including
vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment
during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income
level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to
these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
The City has a regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) of 6,681 housing units, of
which 2,977 are for lower-income households. To address this need, the element relies
on vacant sites, including sites in Specific Plan Areas. To demonstrate the adequacy of
these sites and strategies to accommodate the City’s RHNA, the element must include
complete a vacant sites analysis:
Specific Plan Areas: The revised sites inventory identifies potential capacity in a number of
specific plans for 18,403 units (Appendix B) and relies on capacity to accommodate at least
1,725 of its lower-income RHNA on multifamily sites within those specific plans (Table 4.8).
While the housing element indicates the Specific Plans’ residential capacity and estimates
the number of units by income group, it does not provide any analysis demonstrating their
suitability and availability for development in the planning period or potential affordability.
For specific plans that are anticipating a variety of housing types including multifamily, it
remains unclear how multifamily is to be accommodated in these specific plans, land
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Revised Draft Housing Element Page 3
January 21, 2022
capacity that will be available for multifamily, and allowable densities. To utilize residential
capacity in Specific Plans, the element must:
• Identify the date of approval of the plans and expiration date.
• Identify approved or pending projects within these plans that are anticipated in the
planning period, including anticipated affordability based on the actual or projected
sale prices, rent levels, or other mechanisms establishing affordability in the
planning period of the units within the project.
• Provide descriptions of allowable densities, development standards and other
requirements for multifamily development anticipated to accommodate the lower-
income RHNA;
• Describe necessary approvals or steps for entitlements for new development
(e.g., design review, site plan review, etc.).
• Describe any development agreements, and conditions or requirements such as
phasing or timing requirements, that impact development in the planning period.
Zoning for Lower-Income Households: The site inventory is relying on zoning that
allows up to 24 units per acre to accommodate the lower-income housing need. The
element includes additional analysis to substantiate the City’s use of lower income
based on “lower real estate costs” and programs to remove constraints. However, the
element does not include a complete analysis to demonstrate the feasibility of 24 units
per acre density. Specifically, the element must describe market demand and financial
feasibility. To address this analysis, the City could consult with local developers. In
addition, the element states that over 4,448 units affordable to lower-income
households are expected to be accommodated in potential multifamily and mixed-use
development in a variety of specific plans. However, the element does not include
information allowable densities for multifamily development and therefore HCD cannot
make a determination related to the appropriateness of sites within the specific plans to
accommodate the RHNA for lower-income.
Realistic Capacity: As stated in the previous element, the City uses maximum density
allowed in the Residential Mixed-Use zone (RMU) multiplied by the size of the parcel.
While the element was revised to indicate there is residential capacity in the
Commercial Mixed-Use zone that was not included in the inventory, this information is
not sufficient to address this requirement as it does provide support for the capacity
assumptions in the RMU. The element should include typical densities of existing or
approved residential developments at similar affordability levels within the zone and
development trends supporting residential development. Please see HCD’s prior
review.
Water Sewer Priority: Water and sewer service providers must establish specific
procedures to grant priority water and sewer service to developments with units
affordable to lower-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65589.7.) Program 16
(Adequate Sites) commits to delivering the housing element to water and sewer service
providers but does not indicate a procedure to grant priority water and sewer service to
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Revised Draft Housing Element Page 4
January 21, 2022
developments with units affordable to lower-income households. Please See HCD’s
prior review.
B. Housing Programs
1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period,
each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs
are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the
planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to
implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element
through the administration of land use and development controls, the provision of
regulatory concessions and incentives, and the utilization of appropriate federal and
state financing and subsidy programs when available. The program shall include an
identification of the agencies and officials responsible for the implementation of the
various actions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)
To address the program requirements of Gov. Code section 65583, subd. (c)(1-6), and
to facilitate implementation, programs should include: (1) a description of the City’s
specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation timelines; (3) objectives,
quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and
officials. Programs to be revised include the following:
All programs should be reviewed and revised to include items (1) through (4) as stated
above. While many programs contain objectives and timelines, many do not. The
element should be revised to address any of these deficiencies, including those noted
below:
Program 14 (Special Needs Housing): This Program commits to giving priority to
special needs projects, encouraging nonprofits to pursue funding for special needs
housing, and assisting developers seeking state and federal funding. While the City
clarified actions and included additional objectives, it did not describe how the City will
encourage nonprofit organizations or how it will grant priority for special needs projects.
Program 15 (Resources to Address Homeless Need): This Program commits to
addressing needs of at-risk and homeless through assistance to nonprofits, continuing
to work with nonprofit organizations to aid residents in need and offering technical
assistance, and using the Lake Elsinore Homeless Task Force to further the City’s
efforts. As stated in the previous letter, it is unclear of what specific actions the City will
take to assist nonprofit efforts or what the City’s technical assistance will look like. The
Program should be revised to specify actions and objectives for each category and
answer when the City intends on applying for the stated funds and what kind of
assistance will or can be granted to the nonprofits.
2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period
with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to
accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need
City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle Revised Draft Housing Element Page 5
January 21, 2022
for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the
inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and
to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be
identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types
of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built
housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-
room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing.
(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
As noted in Finding A2, the element does not include a complete site analysis,
therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results
of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise
programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of
housing types.
3. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing
throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion,
sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and
other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act
(Part 2.8 (commencing with Section 12900) of Division 3 of Title 2), Section 65008, and
any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd.
(c)(5).)
Program to AFFH: While the element includes Program 25 which describes how the
City’s fair housing initiatives, it must also include stronger actions that promote AFFH
opportunities. The element must be revised to include programs that go beyond status
quo actions and include quantifiable objectives and concrete actions that are
transformative and overcome patterns and trends identified in the element. For
example, Disparities in Access to Opportunity section identifies lack of public
investment in specific neighborhoods, the location of proficient schools and school
assignment policies as contributing factors, but none of the associated goals address
any of these. Additionally, Bullet 2 in the same section should go beyond identifying
issues and commit to addressing them once they are discovered. Bullet 4 does not
proactively address identified issues such as a concentration of lower- and moderate-
income minorities. Bullet 7 should be revised to include a specific implementation date.
AFFH means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant
disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living
patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming RE/CAPs into
areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair
housing laws. The duty to AFFH extends to all public agency’s activities and programs
relating to housing and community development.

January 21, 2022
C. Public Participation
Local governments shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic
segments of the community in the development of the Housing Element, and the element
shall describe this effort. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd.(c)(9).)
While the element includes a general summary of the public participation process (pp. 1.4 to
1.7) and describes public comments and how they were incorporated into the element, it
must also demonstrate diligent efforts were made to involve all economic segments of the
community in the development of the housing element.
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 1 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter A.1 Disparities in Access to Opportunities While the element included some additional analysis (p. 3.47) for access to opportunity, it must still provide local analysis of trends and patterns transportation and environment and a regional analysis for education. The analysis should also address persons with disabilities and disparities in access to transit. Please refer to page 35 of the AFFH guidebook (link:https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community‐development/affh/index.shtml#guidance) for specific factors that should be considered when analyzing access to opportunities. A regional analysis for education is added. Additional information on transportation (transit access and job proximity) is added. Edits address areas of high pollution burdens and how they intersect with lower resources and higher need areas (includes persons with disabilities and race/ethnicity) The City’s draft Environmental Justice Element and associated goal and policies is also addressed in the edits. A summary of the EJ Element policies that impact access to environmentally healthy neighborhoods. Edits address persons with disabilities and disparities in access to transit – Transit in Lake Elsinore is concentrated in lower resources and higher need areas of the City west of I‐15 – This includes persons with disabilities. A.1 Site Inventory The map of the approved projects inventory shows a concentration of very low‐ and extremely low‐income (ELI) sites in low resource areas. While Program 9 was added to mitigate the impact of lower income concentration and the narrative describes how the allocation of sites improves conditions, it does not address how sites exacerbate conditions. Additionally, the analysis evaluates the sites relative to access to opportunity but should also evaluate the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that affects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (RE/CAPs), integration and The section in Chapter 3 titled: Sites Inventory Consistency with Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) has been updated to: Address how the site inventory exacerbates existing fair housing conditions. The site evaluation has been expanded to address existing patterns for access to opportunity, racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty (RE/CAPs), integration and segregation, and disproportionate housing needs and displacement risk.
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 2 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter segregation, and disproportionate housing needs and displacement risk). A.1 Contributing Factors While the element includes additional issue areas as well as associated contributing factors, it does not explain how these factors are prioritized in the analysis. The element must prioritize contributing factors to fair housing issues. Contributing factors create, contribute to, perpetuate, or increase the severity of fair housing issues, are fundamental to adequate goals and actions, and must be related to the overall analysis. Examples include community opposition to affordable housing, housing discrimination, land use and zoning laws, lack of regional cooperation, location and type or lack of affordable housing and lack of public or private investment in areas of opportunity or affordable housing choices. The analysis must result in strategic approaches to inform and connect goals and actions to mitigate contributing factors to affordable housing. Program 25 was included in the submitted Element and included prioritization fair housing issues and contributing factors similar to the example on Page 71 of the HCD AFFH handbook. The fair housing and contributing factors discussion in Chapter 3 is updated to more clearly explain and identify the priority assigned to these. The table under Program 25 is updated to address other related comments in the Department’s finding letter. A.1 Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones Goals and actions must significantly seek to overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. While the revised draft includes an overview of two issues in Lake Elsinore along with contributing factors, it does not identify associated goals, metrics, and milestones. The element must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results. Programs also need to be based on identified contributing factors, be significant and meaningful. The element must add, and revise programs based on a complete analysis and listing and prioritization of contributing factors to fair housing issues. For sites that are in lower‐resourced areas, the element must include specific actions that seek to transform and address disparities in low resourced areas. Furthermore, the element The fair housing and contributing factors discussion in Chapter 3 is updated to more clearly explain and identify the priority assigned to these. The table under Program 25 is updated to address other related comments in the Department’s finding letter. Program 25 is updated. The two main fair housing issues (prioritized as High) are closely related as such the action items are grouped together. The concentration of minority, low‐ and moderate‐income population, and households experiencing disproportionate need and displacement risk also affects access to opportunity. Many of the same strategies (housing mobility strategies, new housing choices in
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 3 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter must include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress on programs, actions, and fair housing results. For more information, please see HCD’s guidance at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community‐development/affh/index.shtm. areas of opportunity and place‐based strategies to encourage community revitalization) address both issues (disproportionate housing need and disparities in access to opportunity). The program is updated to group actions under three strategy themes. Program actions have been updated to include specific metrics and milestones for evaluating progress. A.2 Specific Plan Areas The revised sites inventory identifies potential capacity in a number of specific plans for 18,403 units (Appendix B) and relies on capacity to accommodate at least 1,725 of its lower‐income RHNA on multifamily sites within those specific plans (Table 4.8). While the housing element indicates the Specific Plans’ residential capacity and estimates the number of units by income group, it does not provide any analysis demonstrating their suitability and availability for development in the planning period or potential affordability. For specific plans that are anticipating a variety of housing types including multifamily, it remains unclear how multifamily is to be accommodated in these specific plans, land capacity that will be available for multifamily, and allowable densities. To utilize residential capacity in Specific Plans, the element must: 1. Identify the date of approval of the plans and expiration date. 2. Identify approved or pending projects within these plans that are anticipated in the planning period, including anticipated affordability based on the actual or projected sale prices, rent levels, or other mechanisms establishing affordability in the planning period of the units within the project. 3. Provide descriptions of allowable densities, development The site inventory section addressing specific plan capacity has been edited to: Expand Table 4.6 by adding 1. Date of approval of the plans and expiration date 2. Approved or pending projects within these plans has not been added as there are currently none ‐ nevertheless various specific plans have submitted applications for new or revised tract maps. Specific plan development in the City is ongoing. In 2020, permits were issued for 146 units in the Villages at Lakeshore Specific Plan. 3. Descriptions of allowable densities for multifamily uses. 4. Necessary approvals or steps for entitlements for new development 5. Phasing information from the Plans. Most indicate a phasing plan but acknowledge that the timing of residential and commercial development is a function of market conditions/demand. Based on the additional information, the unit distribution of

Describe necessary approvals or steps for entitlements for new development (e.g., design review, site plan review, etc.) 5. Describe any development agreements, and conditions or requirements such as phasing or timing requirements, that impact development in the planning period. specific plan capacity has been changed: For multi‐family units in Specific Plan areas, density is used to make the affordability assumptions (consistent with state law). As previously discussed, 24 units per acre is used in place of the 30 units per acre default densities for a variety of reasons discussed under the “Densities Appropriate for Accommodating Lower Income Housing” heading. Multifamily and mixed‐use units with an allowable density of 24 units per acre are credited toward the very low/low income RHNA. Multifamily and mixed‐use units with a lower allowable density (most commonly 18 and 20 units per acre) are credited toward the moderate income RHNA. Single‐family units in Specific Plan areas can be credited against the moderate‐income RHNA based on the cost of single‐family homes in Lake Elsinore. But to account for a range of potential home prices, single‐family unit capacity in Specific Plan areas is split evenly between the moderate‐ and above moderate‐income categories. A.2 Zoning for Lower‐Income Households The site inventory is relying on zoning that allows up to 24 units per acre to accommodate the lower‐income housing need. The element includes additional analysis to substantiate the City’s use of lower income based on “lower real estate costs” and programs to remove constraints. However, the element does not include a complete analysis to demonstrate the feasibility of 24 units per acre density. Specifically, the element must describe market demand and financial feasibility. To address this analysis, the City could consult with local The use of 24 du/ac as density suitable for development of affordable housing is realistic given the lower development costs and that a significant number of affordable housing developments in the City have been constructed at densities lower than the 30 units per acre default density. Specifically, affordable housing units (affordable to very low‐ and low‐income households) have most commonly been built in zones with a maximum allowed density of 18 units per acre. The Broadstone Rivers Edge Apartments (2007), Pottery Court
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 5 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter developers. In addition, the element states that over 4,448 units affordable to lower‐income households are expected to be accommodated in potential multifamily and mixed‐use development in a variety of specific plans. However, the element does not include information allowable densities for multifamily development and therefore HCD cannot make a determination related to the appropriateness of sites within the specific plans to accommodate the RHNA for lower income. (2011), Mission Trails Apartments (2020), and the Cottages at Mission Trails (2020) developments (all affordable housing projects) were developed on properties allowing a maximum of 18 units per acre. The element has been updated to include information from two developers that expands of the market demand and financial feasibility aspect of development and confirms the approach used in the Element. For specific plan, an expanded table is included that includes densities for multifamily units – as a result the capacity distribution has been changed for multi‐family units. Multifamily and mixed‐use units with an allowable density of 24 units per acre are credited toward the very low/low income RHNA. The Element indicates that this is an appropriate density for affordable housing development. Multifamily and mixed‐use units with a lower allowable density (most commonly 18 and 20 units per acre) are credited toward the moderate income RHNA. A.2 Realistic Capacity As stated in the previous element, the City uses maximum density allowed in the Residential Mixed‐Use zone (RMU) multiplied by the size of the parcel. While the element was revised to indicate there is residential capacity in the Commercial Mixed‐Use zone that was not included in the inventory, this information is not sufficient to address this requirement as it does provide support for the capacity assumptions in the RMU. The element should include typical densities of existing or approved residential developments at similar affordability levels within the zone and development trends supporting residential Because RMU allows for combined residential/non‐commercial uses in a manner that protects the maximum density and facilitates development of affordable units at higher densities, a 24‐unit per acre realistic capacity is feasible. Nonetheless, the element is edited to use the median allowable density (22 units per acre), to account for land use controls and site improvements and to mirror expected development in the HDR zone. A survey of all developed RMU properties show only two non‐residential uses (a commercial strip center built in 1978 and a church built in the 1960s) and
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 6 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter development. Please see HCD’s prior review. both pre‐date the creation of the RMU zone (in 2011). No properties have been developed since 2011 (when the RMU zone was adopted) although a five‐unit multifamily rehabilitation project was completed in 2017. Nonresidential uses will not affect capacity. To assess the potential for nonresidential demand in the RMU zone and to assess the appropriateness of densities in the RMU and HDR zones, two developers with experience working in Lake Elsinore were interviewed. Both interviewees confirmed that in the areas of Lake Elsinore where the RMU zone is located, the market demand is overwhelmingly for residential standalone development and that the potential for non‐residential development would not affect the densities achievable on identified sites. A.2 Water Sewer Priority Water and sewer service providers must establish specific procedures to grant priority water and sewer service to developments with units affordable to lower‐income households. (Gov. Code, § 65589.7.) Program 16 (Adequate Sites) commits to delivering the housing element to water and sewer service providers but does not indicate a procedure to grant priority water and sewer service to developments with units affordable to lower‐income households. Please See HCD’s prior review. The City does not provide water and sewer services. as of March 2022, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD), which provides water and sewer services to the City, indicated that it was unclear if procedures are in place to grant priority for the provision of water and sewer services to proposed developments that include units affordable to lower‐income households as required by Government Code 65589.7. The City of Lake Elsinore does not have jurisdiction over the District as such, EVMWD was alerted of the requirements under Government Code §65589.7 and staff at EVMWD indicated that they would confirm by May or June 2022 if procedures are place. B.1 Program 14 (Special Needs Housing) This Program commits to giving priority to special needs projects, encouraging nonprofits to pursue funding for special needs housing, Program 14 is edited to: 1. expand on funding priority 2. adding additional actions
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 7 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter and assisting developers seeking state and federal funding. While the City clarified actions and included additional objectives, it did not describe how the City will encourage nonprofit organizations or how it will grant priority for special needs projects. B.1 Program 15 (Resources to Address Homeless Need) This Program commits to addressing needs of at‐risk and homeless through assistance to nonprofits, continuing to work with nonprofit organizations to aid residents in need and offering technical assistance, and using the Lake Elsinore Homeless Task Force to further the City’s efforts. As stated in the previous letter, it is unclear of what specific actions the City will take to assist nonprofit efforts or what the City’s technical assistance will look like. The Program should be revised to specify actions and objectives for each category and answer when the City intends on applying for the stated funds and what kind of assistance will or can be granted to the nonprofits. Program 15 is updated to add specific actions including: The City will annually contact service providers and share identified levels of CDBG or other available funds (including City funds) for homeless resources programs. The technical assistance action is expanded to provide more detail on available assistance including preapplication consultation, identification of available City funding or incentives such as expedited permit processing, flexibility in development standards and reduced, waived, or subsidized development and impact fees. Actions have been added to the timeframe for the program: “List of City‐owned properties appropriate for affordable or special needs housing by December 2022; Annual contact with special needs stakeholders to advertise available City funds if funding is available (including sharing a list of City‐owned properties that can be used for affordable or special needs housing and available funding sources).” B.2 As noted in Finding A2, the element does not include a complete site analysis, therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to address a Chapter 4: Housing Resources And Sites Inventory has been updated to clarify and edit specific plan capacity affordability assumptions, expand the discussion on zoning to accommodate the lower‐income housing need, and realistic capacity for the RMU sites have been changed. The site
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 01/21/21 Page 8 of 9 HCD Findings in 01/22/21 Letter shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing types. inventory capacity has been updated to reflect these changes. B.3 Program to AFFH While the element includes Program 25 which describes how the City’s fair housing initiatives, it must also include stronger actions that promote AFFH opportunities. The element must be revised to include programs that go beyond status quo actions and include quantifiable objectives and concrete actions that are transformative and overcome patterns and trends identified in the element. For example, Disparities in Access to Opportunity section identifies lack of public investment in specific neighborhoods, the location of proficient schools and school assignment policies as contributing factors, but none of the associated goals address any of these. Additionally, Bullet 2 in the same section should go beyond identifying issues and commit to addressing them once they are discovered. Bullet 4 does not proactively address identified issues such as a concentration of lower‐ and moderate‐income minorities. Bullet 7 should be revised to include a specific implementation date. AFFH means taking meaningful actions that, taken together, address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity, replacing segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns, transforming RE/CAPs into areas of opportunity, and fostering and maintaining compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws. The duty to AFFH extends to all public agency’s activities and programs relating to housing and community development. Program 25 is updated. The two main fair housing issues (prioritized as High) are closely related as such the action items are grouped together. The concentration of minority, low‐ and moderate‐income population, and households experiencing disproportionate need and displacement risk also affects access to opportunity. Many of the same strategies (housing mobility strategies, new housing choices in areas of opportunity and place‐based strategies to encourage community revitalization) address both issues (disproportionate housing need and disparities in access to opportunity). The program is updated to group actions under three strategy themes. Program actions have been updated to include specific metrics and milestones for evaluating progress. In addition to expanding on details and timeframes for existing actions, several new actions address School assignment policies Affirmatively marketing available development sites Adopt an Environmental Justice Element Concentration of lower‐ and moderate‐income minorities I s addressed through program actions under the New Housing Choice in higher opportunity areas heading in Program 25. The program action for outreach to lower income and minority residents is updated to include a specific implementation details and date.

Chapter 1: Introduction is edited to add an AFFH section at the end of the chapter and describes the City’s diligent efforts to involve all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element.

Dear Jason Simpson:
RE: Review of the City of Lake Elsinore’s 6th Cycle (2021-2029) Revised Draft
Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Lake Elsinore’s (City) revised draft housing element
received for review on April 15, 2022. Pursuant to Government Code section 65585,
subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development
(HCD) is reporting the results of its review.
The draft element addresses many statutory requirements described in HCD’s
January 21, 2022 review; however, revisions will be necessary to comply with State
Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code) as follows.
1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing
with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair
housing in the jurisdiction (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A))
Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: Goals and actions must significantly seek
to overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. While the revised draft
identifies associated goals actions for most of the key areas, the element must also
include goals and actions to mitigate displacement risk. Furthermore, for all
programs to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH), the element must include
specific metrics and milestones for evaluating progress. For more information,
please see HCD’s guidance at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-
development/affh/index.shtm.
2. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including
vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment
during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated

income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and
services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).)
Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period
with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities
to accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing
need for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the
inventory...(Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).)
Specific Plan Areas: The revised sites inventory identifies potential capacity in a
number of specific plans for 18,403 units (Appendix B) and relies on capacity to
accommodate at least 1,725 of its lower-income regional housing needs allocation
(RHNA) on multifamily sites within those specific plans (Table 4.8). However, to
demonstrate the adequacy of these sites to accommodate the RHNA for lower-
income households, additional information is necessary to show development
potential within the planning period. First, the element now indicates that several
Specific Plans have phasing requirements; however, it remains unclear the expected
buildout timing for each phase, what conditions must be achieved prior to further
phasing, which phase multifamily can be accommodated, and if future phases can
be achieved during the planning period. Additionally, it is not clear how multifamily is
to be accommodated (e.g. land capacity) within each specific plan. The element
should provide indication of where the multifamily is to be located (e.g. map or other
description of the specific plan), how much land is available for multifamily
development (e.g. acreage), descriptions of any existing parcels, and describe
additional entitlements or steps needed to build multifamily housing (e.g. subdivision
map, lot splits, site plan review, design review, etc.).
Water Sewer Priority: As stated in the previous element, water and sewer service
providers must establish specific procedures to grant priority water and sewer
service to developments with units affordable to lower-income households. (Gov.
Code, § 65589.7.) The element Indicated that the City is not responsible for water
and sewer services and is unclear if there is a procedure in place to facilitate priority
water and sewer services to affordable developments servicing lower income
households, but will have an answer from the provider by June 2022. However, HCD
understands that no response has been received as of the beginning of June. The
revised element should be revised to include this information once received.
Programs: As noted above, the element does not include a complete site analysis;
therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the
results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or
revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a
variety of housing types.

The element will meet the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law once it
has been revised and re-adopted to comply with the above requirements.
Public participation in the development, adoption and implementation of the housing
element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element
process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that
represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly
available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be
aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website
and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested
notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before
submitting to HCD.
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. For information, please see the Technical
Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.
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 Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s
Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; 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 meets housing element requirements for these and other funding
sources.
We are committed to assist the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State
Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical
assistance, please contact Jamillah Williams, of our staff, at
Jamillah.Williams@hcd.ca.gov.
Sincerely,
Melinda Coy
Senior Housing Accountability Manager

HCD Findings in 06/14/22 Letter Response
1. AFFH: Goals, Priorities, Metrics, and Milestones: Goals and actions must
significantly seek to overcome contributing factors to fair housing issues. While the
revised draft identifies associated goals actions for most of the key areas,
1.the element must also include goals and actions to mitigate displacement risk.
2. Furthermore, for all programs to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH), the
element must include specific metrics and milestones for evaluating progress.
For more information, please see HCD’s guidance at
https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/affh/index.shtm.
CHAPTER 6
Policy 5.3 has been updated to address displacement and
Program 25 has been updated with actions to mitigate
displacement risk.
All program actions for Program 25 include specific metrics
and milestones for evaluating progress.
2. Site Inventory: Specific Plan Areas: The revised sites inventory identifies potential
capacity in a number of specific plans for 18,403 units (Appendix B) and relies on
capacity to accommodate at least 1,725 of its lower-income regional housing needs
allocation (RHNA) on multifamily sites within those specific plans (Table 4.8).
However, to demonstrate the adequacy of these sites to accommodate the RHNA for
lower-income households, additional information is necessary to show development
potential within the planning period.
First, the element now indicates that several Specific Plans have phasing
requirements; however, it remains unclear the expected buildout timing for each
phase, what conditions must be achieved prior to further phasing, which phase
multifamily can be accommodated, and if future phases can be achieved during the
planning period. Additionally, it is not clear how multifamily is to be accommodated
(e.g. land capacity) within each specific plan. The element should provide:
1. indication of where the multifamily is to be located (e.g. map or other
description of the specific plan) –
2. how much land is available for multifamily development (e.g. acreage),
3. descriptions of any existing parcels
4. and describe additional entitlements or steps needed to build multifamily
housing (e.g. subdivision map, lot splits, site plan review, design review, etc.).
CHAPTER 4
The Specific Plans included in the sites inventory indicate a
phasing plan, but all acknowledge that the timing of
residential and commercial development is a function of
market conditions. Table 4.6 shows the level of entitlement
activity for each plan area. While there are no pending
projects, various specific plans have submitted applications
for new or revised tract maps. Specific plan development in
the City is ongoing. In 2020, permits were issued for 146
units in the Villages at Lakeshore Specific Plan.
During the review one SP was removed that, while still
having available capacity, needed land set aside for habitat
preservation (per the Riverside County MSHCP) which
might reduce the capacity allowed. Another one was
removed during an earlier review due to uncertainty about
timing. AS a result, none of the remaining Specific Plans
listed in Table 4.6 have any site restrictions or governmental
City of Lake Elsinore – HCD Findings from 06/14/22 Findings Letter
Page 2 of 2
HCD Findings in 06/14/22 Letter Response
constraints that would delay development of the identified
remaining capacity.
Table 4.6 is updated to add information on:
• Location of residential uses -including MF residential if
the Plan includes that type of development.
• Acreage for residential uses including MF residential if
the Plan includes that type of development.
• A description of the Plan area parcelization.
Table 4.6 previously included the entitlement actions
needed to move forward.
2. Site Inventory: Water Sewer Priority: As stated in the previous element, water and
sewer service providers must establish specific procedures to grant priority water and
sewer service to developments with units affordable to lower-income households.
(Gov. Code, § 65589.7.) The element Indicated that the City is not responsible for
water and sewer services and is unclear if there is a procedure in place to facilitate
priority water and sewer services to affordable developments servicing lower income
households but will have an answer from the provider by June 2022. However, HCD
understands that no response has been received as of the beginning of June. The
revised element should be revised to include this information once received.
CHAPTER 6
Program 16 is updated to reflect the status of EVMWD’s
priority service procedures.
EVMWD staff indicated that they would take action to put a
compliant procedure in place to grant priority for the
provision of water and sewer services to proposed
developments that include units affordable to lower-income
households.
2. Site Inventory: Programs: As noted above, the element does not include a
complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not
established. Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City
may need to add or revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available
to encourage a variety of housing types.
No edits are required based on the above edits.
