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. H. SUB -COMMITTEE REPORTS 1.
