1. Consideration of Housing Alternatives Used by Cities to Meet
Affordable Housing Requirements, (Laura Stokes,
Housing/Redevelopment Coordinator).
Ms. Stokes Summarized the staff report and reiterated how the

and projects respectively. At the May 23, 2012, meeting, the
Committee determined that Chair Campman and Committee Member
Jones would research programs, and Vice Chair Bonney and
Committee Member Solt would research projects.
The two research teams provided staff with their findings, which were
included as Attachments One and Two of the report. Attachment one
detailed programs repeated amongst cities and identified potential
programs for the City of San Juan Capistrano to implement.
Attachment two summarized email and phone correspondence
provided from the staff of Dana Point, Yorba Linda, San Clemente,
Brea, and Tustin on their successful and unsuccessful affordable
housing projects.
The Committee thoroughly discussed all programs identified in
Attachment one, and edited the list and made motions on each
program listed.

overlay districts" included after 30 du/ac. Committee supported 5-0.

development provides more than 10% of the unit as affordable, allow
the below specified" included at the beginning of the description, and
remove the phrases Consider associating and to percentage of
affordable units. Committee supported 5-0.
The Committee thoroughly discussed the communication from the staff
of Dana Point, Yorba Linda, San Clemente, Brea, and Tustin identified.
The Committee focused on the unsuccessful projects and the trouble
the cities experienced with lack of oversight and responsibility, which
resulted in the buildings aging faster and households abusing the
privileges of the affordable housing (overcrowding, multiple vehicles,
unqualified incomes, etc.). Additionally, the Committee discussed how
some cities have found that there is a lack of demand for housing
affordable to moderate income households, and how this dilemma
results in vacant housing and housing staff putting in substantial effort
with minimal results when attempting to fill the units.
After discussing potential downfalls the Committee motioned to
recommended that onsite management be required of new
developments, when economically feasible, to help alleviate potential
overcrowding, inadequate parking, and neighborhood repercussions. It
is additionally recommended that moderate housing be sparsely
subsidized until the market shows a greater demand for the housing
bracket.
