I. INTRODUCTION
This document is the Affordable Housing Compliance Plan ("Compliance Plan") for the Santa
Monica Redevelopment Agency ("Agency"). This Compliance Plan amends the Agency?s
preexisting housing affordability compliance plan adopted on November 22, 1994 by incorporating
an update of the Agency?s affordable housing production activities since 1994, and presenting a
revised scope of housing projects for the remainder of the 10-year planning period.
This Compliance Plan addresses the Agency?s affordable housing production goals and
achievements relating to two of the Agency?s four redevelopment project areas, specifically the
Downtown and the Earthquake Recovery Redevelopment Project Areas (?Project Areas?). The
Ocean Park 1A and 1B Redevelopment Project Areas were adopted prior to January 1, 1976, and,
therefore, the Agency is not required to prepare an affordable housing compliance plan for these
project areas.
In sum, this Compliance Plan delineates a ten-year (fiscal year 1994-1995 through fiscal year 2003-
2004) affordable housing production requirement of 588 units. Also, this Compliance Plan
documents how affordable housing programs completed, contracted, and proposed will result in the
construction or substantial rehabilitation of 716 units, exceeding the ten-year production
requirement by 128 units.
Legal Requirements for Compliance Plans
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 33413(b)(4) and 33490(a)(2) and (3) of the California
Community Redevelopment Law, Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et. seq. ("Law"), this
Compliance Plan sets forth the Agency's program for ensuring that the appropriate number of very
low, low, and moderate income housing units will be produced as a result of new construction or
1
substantial rehabilitation.
Contents of the Compliance Plan
This Compliance Plan has been developed to accomplish the following goals:
?
To account for the number of affordable dwelling units, either constructed or substantially
rehabilitated, in both Project Areas since their respective adoptions;
1
Section 33413 of the Law defines ?substantial rehabilitation? as ?rehabilitation, the value of which constitutes 25
percent of the after rehabilitated value of the dwelling, inclusive of the land value.?
Also, Section 50052.5 of Health and Safety Code defines affordable housing cost as:
- Very Low - Not more than 30% of 50% of the County median household income.
- Low - Not more than 30% of 70% (or 60% for rental projects) of the County median household income.
- Moderate - Not more than 35% of 110% (or 30% of 120% for rental projects) of the County median household
income.
HC-1

Santa Monica ("City") Housing Element ("Housing Element") to confirm this Compliance Plan
is consistent with the Housing Element.
HC-2
II. BACKGROUND
The Agency was activated on August 13, 1957. The Agency currently manages four redevelopment
projects: the Ocean Park Projects 1A and 1B, the Downtown Project, and ERRPA.
Ocean Park Redevelopment Projects 1A and 1B
The Ocean Park Redevelopment Projects 1A and 1B were adopted in 1960 and 1961, respectively.
These Projects involved the redevelopment of approximately 33 acres of property with residential
and recreational uses. As part of the Agency?s redevelopment efforts, affordable replacement
housing was provided, and tax increment revenue from both Projects has been pledged to the City?s
Affordable Housing Trust Fund.
Because both of these Projects were adopted prior to January 1, 1976, the Law does not require that
the Agency prepare housing affordability compliance plans for these Projects.
Downtown Redevelopment Project
The Downtown Redevelopment Project encompasses approximately 10 acres of property located at
the southern end of the City?s Third Street Promenade in Downtown Santa Monica. The Project
was adopted on January 13, 1976, and redevelopment activities within the project area were
completed in 1980. These activities consisted of the development of the Santa Monica Place
regional mall, which includes 570,000 square feet of retail space, and adjoining parking structures.
The entire 10-acre Downtown Redevelopment Project Area is developed with the regional mall and
parking structures; as such, no new or substantially rehabilitated residential construction will occur
within this Project Area. Thus, the housing production requirements, as outlined in Section 33413
of the Law, are not applicable to the Downtown Project.
Earthquake Recovery Redevelopment Project
The City Council approved the Redevelopment Plan for the ERRPA on June 21, 1994. The ERRPA
includes the structures predominantly damaged in the January 1994 Northridge earthquake.
Approximately 90% of all red-tagged and 80% of all yellow-tagged buildings in the City were in
the ERRPA. The ERRPA is bounded on the east by Cloverfield and 26th Street, on the west by the
Pacific Coast Highway/Beach Promenade, on the south by approximately Pico Boulevard, and on
the north by Montana Avenue.
The ERRPA is anticipated to experience new construction and substantial rehabilitation of housing,
thereby triggering a very low, low, and moderate income housing production obligation. This is
commonly referred to as the Agency?s ?Inclusionary Housing Requirement? per the Law. (This is a
separate requirement of the Agency, distinct from the City?s Affordable Housing Production
Ordinance.)
HC-3
Purpose
The provisions of Section 33413(b)(4) require that all redevelopment agencies adopt and
periodically update a plan to ensure compliance for each project area, with the criteria of Section
33413(b), regarding the affordability mix of new or substantially rehabilitated housing units created
within the Agency?s jurisdiction. Since 1976, redevelopment agencies have been required to assure
that at least 30% of all new or substantially rehabilitated units developed by an agency are available
at affordable costs to households of very low, low, or moderate income. Of this 30%, not less than
50% are required to be available at affordable costs to very low income households.
For all units developed by entities other than an agency, Section 33413(b) requires that at least 15%
of all new or substantially rehabilitated dwelling units within the Project Areas be made available at
affordable costs to low or moderate income households. Of these, not less than 40% of the dwelling
units are required to be available at affordable costs to very low income households. These
requirements are applicable to housing units as aggregated, and not on a project-by-project basis to
each dwelling unit created or substantially rehabilitated unless so required by an agency.
Methodology and Data Compilation
This Compliance Plan takes into account all residential construction or substantial rehabilitation that
has occurred within the Project Areas since their adoption in order to determine affordable housing
production needs; it accounts for existing residential construction and substantial rehabilitation, and
projections for the number of additional dwelling units to be constructed or substantially
rehabilitated during the ten year planning period.
Historical construction and substantial rehabilitation statistics were provided by the City staff and
building permit data. For data gathering purposes, substantial rehabilitation was defined as any
rehabilitation of a multifamily unit that was: 1) greater than $25,000 (where the before-
rehabilitation value was unknown), or 2) greater than 25% of the purchase price. In both instances,
an estimate of $100,000 was used to approximate the prerehabilitation value (which was the average
purchase price for multifamily units at the time the data was compiled). Therefore, $25,000 was
deemed an appropriate proxy for 25% of the after-rehabilitation value of a multifamily unit.
Projections of new units are affected by numerous complex factors such as: the local, regional, and
national economy; employment levels; competition; and the inventory of existing housing and
zoning restrictions. As a result, projecting the number of new units to be constructed over a ten-
year period can be difficult. For this Compliance Plan, projections for future dwelling units to be
constructed or substantially rehabilitated within the Project Areas are based upon a synthesis of City
Housing Element projections, building permits, trends, and a compilation of proposed residential
projects.
It should be noted that neither the existing housing stock nor projections for future dwelling units in
the Project Areas include any units to be developed by the Agency. The Agency does not anticipate
directly developing or substantially rehabilitating any dwelling units, which would trigger the 30%
affordable housing requirement within the ten-year planning period of this Compliance Plan.
However, the Agency will continue to cooperate with and provide assistance and incentives to
private developers in order to meet affordable housing production goals.
HC-4
Section 33413(b) provides that redevelopment agencies shall ensure that 15% of the non-agency
developed or substantially rehabilitated units created within its jurisdiction are affordable to very
low, low, and moderate income households. The Law does not elaborate what constitutes the
?Agency?s jurisdiction,? and there are varying legal interpretations of this definition. Agency legal
counsel has opined that "the units created within the Agency?s jurisdiction" is defined as those units
with which the Agency has been involved through direct financial or other assistance. A broader
interpretation of the requirement suggests that the "Agency?s jurisdiction" contains all units created
in the Project Areas, whether or not the Agency is involved.
This Compliance Plan applies the broader definition of the Agency?s jurisdiction (basing production
requirements on the new construction and substantial rehabilitation activity in the Project Areas, not
just those with which the Agency has been involved) in order to determine the maximum number of
inclusionary units that could be required by Law.
HC-5
III. PROVISION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO DATE
This section identifies the number of dwelling units that have been destroyed/removed, constructed,
or substantially rehabilitated within the Project Areas to date.
Pre-1994 Activities
The ERRPA was adopted in June 1994, and the Downtown Project does not include any dwelling
units. As a result, prior to 1994, the Agency was not required to report on any residential units
destroyed, constructed, or substantially rehabilitated in the ERRPA; thus, there is no inclusionary
production need for the period prior to the 1994/95-2003/04 time frame of this Compliance Plan.
Planning Period Activities to Date (1994-1999)
Since the Downtown Project Area continues to be used exclusively for nonresidential uses, only the
ERRPA generates inclusionary housing production needs. City staff and building permit data have
accounted for 1,692 units constructed and substantially rehabilitated in the ERRPA Project Area
between June 1994 and June 1999. As indicated on Table 1 (and detailed in the Appendices), this
total consists of 1,267 constructed units and 425 substantially rehabilitated units either completed or
contracted to date. None of these units were developed by the Agency.
Table 1 shows four categories of housing projects, based upon their respective stage in the
completion process. These four categories are defined below:
1) Completed - means affordable housing project already constructed or substantially rehabilitated,
and available for occupancy.
2) Contracted - means a project not yet completed is subject to an executed affordability
agreement.
3) Reserved - means a proposed project for which the Agency or other entity has earmarked
funding.
4) Potential - means a proposed project for which there has been no funding commitment but is
anticipated to result in affordable housing production.

Many of these 1,692 units constructed and substantially rehabilitated feature covenants ensuring
their affordability to very low, low and moderate income households. An inventory of these
affordable housing units is included on Table 2. Table 2 identifies the completed or contracted
affordable housing projects with Agency financial assistance, City housing programs, and other
primarily tax credit programs. In total, these affordable housing production programs have resulted
in the construction or substantial rehabilitation of 655 affordable dwelling units, including 279 units
affordable to very low income households.
In addition to these units completed or contracted, the Agency is currently working on additional
projects (also enumerated in Table 2 as reserved and potential projects) that would increase the total
number of affordable housing production units to 716 units, including 323 very low income units.

Projected Inclusionary Housing Needs
Estimates for the total number of dwelling units to be constructed within the Project Areas both
during the ten-year period and over the life of the Redevelopment Plans were provided by City staff
based on past housing development trends in the ERRPA.
As shown on Table 3, 3,918 units are estimated to be developed or substantially rehabilitated by
fiscal year 2003-04. This includes 1,692 units developed or substantially rehabilitated over the past
five years. (This forecast was based upon a review of completed, contracted, reserved, and potential
projects between fiscal year 1994-95 and fiscal year 2003-04.) Staff anticipates that all of these
units will be developed by public or private entities other than the Agency. Applying the 15%
inclusionary production requirement would create an affordable housing production need of 588
units, 40% of which, or 235 units, must be affordable to very low income households.
Table 3 also shows the number of units projected to be constructed and substantially rehabilitated
over the duration of the Downtown and Earthquake Recovery Redevelopment Plans for the Project
Areas. Agency staff projected the number of dwelling units estimated to be either constructed or
substantially rehabilitated over the 30-year duration of the ERRPA Redevelopment Plan. City staff
estimates that 8,708 units will be either developed or substantially rehabilitated in the Project Areas,
including the 10-year planning period forecast of 3,918 units through fiscal year 2003-04.
Construction or substantial rehabilitation of this number of units would create an obligation to
produce 1,306 affordable units, including 522 very low income units, over the duration of the
respective Redevelopment Plans.
Planning Period Affordable Housing Production Surplus
Table 2 identified the 716 affordable units other parties have been completed, contracted, reserved,
or proposed over the past five years. These units include 323 very low income units. Based on the
housing production estimates for the 10-year planning period, the Agency would be required to
produce 588 affordable dwelling units, including 235 very low income units. Because 716
affordable units have will have been created though current housing programs, the Agency
anticipates that its current affordable housing production efforts will exceed the number needed for
the 10-year planning period. The projected surplus of 128 (716 less 588) affordable units, including
88 (323 less 235) very low income units, would be applied towards future housing production needs
beyond the current 10-year period and would fulfill the obligation created over the remaining
duration of the respective Redevelopment Plans for the Project Areas.

Estimated Housing Program Resources
One of the Agency?s primary sources of revenues for housing program implementation is the annual
20% housing set-aside deposits. Sections 33334.2 and 33334.6 require that not less than twenty
percent (20%) of all taxes which are allocated to the Agency be used to increase, improve, and
preserve the community?s supply of housing available, at affordable housing cost, to persons and
families of very low, low, and moderate incomes. In addition, as set forth in Section 33334.4 of the
Law, it is the stated policy of the Legislature that ?...it shall be the policy of each agency to expend,
over the duration of the redevelopment plan, the moneys in the low and moderate income housing
fund to assist housing for persons of low and very low income in at least the same proportion as the
total number of housing units needed for those income groups which are not being provided by
other governmental programs bears to the total number of units needed for persons of moderate,
low, and very low income within the community.?
In total, the Agency anticipates revenues totaling $54.9 million of 20% set-aside funds and
unrestricted funds designated for housing for the 10-year period, assuming tax allocation bond
issues occurring in 1999-00, 2000-01, 2001-02. In addition to housing set-aside deposits, the City
has historically procured additional funds to augment its housing fund resources. Many of the units
produced are expected to be financed through City and federal tax credit programs. Those City
programs include funds from CDBG, HOME, Inclusionary Housing Fees (the City has its own
Affordable Housing Production program), Office Mitigation Fees, and Tenant Ownership Rights
Charter Amendment (TORCA) fees.
Projections of Housing Fund expenditures are shown on Table 4. Table 4 includes existing housing
fund balances, revenues, expenditures, and net housing fund revenues for the ten-year planning
period. Projected revenues include housing set-aside deposits and interest earnings from all four
redevelopment project areas (Ocean Park 1A, Ocean Park 1B, Downtown, and ERRPA).
Expenditures include housing project costs and lease payments for the Sea Colony apartments. In
total, Housing Fund expenditures are projected to be $53.8 million over the 10-year period.
Of the $53.8 million of housing expenditures, $43.9 million relates to housing costs for future
affordable housing programs for the remainder of the 10-year planning period (1999-00 to 2003-
04). The following section describes the Agency?s plan for use of these affordable housing
resources.

Proposed Implementation Initiatives
The Agency and City will continue implementation of affordable housing projects throughout the
City over the balance of the 10-year planning period. Future implementation activities will fall
into the following three categories:
?Obtaining Third Party Beneficiary Covenants on Existing Units - In order to provide further
assurance that affordable units produced by entities other than the Agency remain affordable
for at least the term of the Redevelopment Plans (at least 2024), the Agency will work with
these entities to record the Agency?s own affordability covenants. Presently, the Agency is
pursuing third party beneficiary covenants on 15 projects, accounting for 367 affordable
units.
?Facilitating Acquisition and Rehabilitation Projects - The Agency and City are also working
on projects to cause the acquisition and substantial rehabilitation of deteriorated housing
units. One such project is a 16-unit low and moderate income project at 1017 4th Street
currently under way.
In total, these acquisition and rehabilitation programs in progress could result in the
production of 41 affordable units, including 9 very low income units.
?Encouraging New Housing Construction - Finally, City and federal tax credit programs will
facilitate development of new housing units in the community. A portion of the potential
bond proceeds may be pledged to facilitate acquisition of property or other incentives to
accommodate affordable housing development in the Project Areas or elsewhere in the City.
Specific projects under way (assisted by the City or by private development alone) include
the following:
?
502 Colorado Boulevard (44 very low income units)
?
1148 Stanford Street (2 low/moderate income units - counting as 1 unit because they are
located outside the Project Area)
HC-13
Potential Sites for Affordable Housing Units
Potential sites for affordable housing include property zoned for residential uses (R1, OP1,
OPDU, OP2, R2, R2R, R3, OP3, OP4, R3R, R4, R2-NW, R3-NW, RVC,, and RMH). In
addition, pursuant to the City zoning ordinance, the City allows a variety of residential
development in nonresidential zones; in several nonresidential districts, the City density bonuses
for areas devoted to residential use.
While the Agency?s experience suggests that the majority of future affordable housing
production efforts will be occurring within the ERRPA Redevelopment Project Area, the Agency
is permitted to implement affordable housing production programs to meet the Agency?s
affordable housing production programs elsewhere in the City. (By Law, dwelling units created
outside the Project Areas to meet the Agency?s affordable housing production obligations are
counted on a 2-for-1 basis.) During the planning period, the Agency will conduct further
research to find sites that are suitable for cost efficient development of affordable housing, and
work with private and non-profit developers for building affordable housing units.

Implementation Timeline
Table 5 shows an estimated annual production timeline for the production and estimated costs of
affordable dwelling units over the balance of the ten-year planning period. Because many
programs are still in their formative stage, specific details of the type and number of units created
are not yet known.

City Housing Element Consistency
A major focal point of the goals, policies and objectives of the City?s Housing Element is to
provide housing for all economic segments of the City, especially lower income families.
Because the major goal of this Compliance Plan is also to provide housing for these lower
income households, and the proposed plans and programs for improving the supply of affordable
housing in the City presented in this Compliance Plan are similar to plans and policies of the
Housing Element, there is clearly a high degree of consistency between the Compliance Plan and
the Housing Element.
The new construction forecast used in this Compliance Plan is consistent with the Housing
Element?s quantified objectives of 308 affordable and market rate units per year. In total, this
Compliance Plan identifies 3,080 new units (308 units annually) to be constructed inside and
outside the Project Areas over the 10-year planning period. This total consists of 3,017 units
inside the Project Areas and 63 units elsewhere in the City.
