An October 1981 vacant land survey found 34.2 acres of vacant
' industrialiy-zoned iand. Th~s equals abo~t 5.8~ of industr~ally zaned
land. Tabie I7 shows this data for the f~Sl and r12 xones. It is timportan~
' to note that of this 34.2 acres, 29 acres were at the i~unic~pal A~rport
and 3.2 acres were at the "Green~rrood" project site~ _
4J~en these two sites are excluded, there remains only 2 a~res of

RESID~NTIAL MOBILITY
~he ~ob~7~ty flf households can indicate the satisfact~on of the
res~dEnts with l~ving in tne City, and as such is ar ind~cator of the
quality of 7ife ~n the City. The 19i0 Census ~ndicated tfiat 18~ of
the City`s ~ousing un~ts were occupled by th~ same re51~2~t5 for mc~re
than 20 years. The ~970 Census also shows that large numbers of persons
had occup~ed th~ir then current home for anly a short t~me. TabTe 19
dispZays t~e 1~70 Census informat~on. ~he lar~e propar~~on af peop~e who
~ave m~ved into t~e~r househa7ds recent~y may be attributed ~n part to
the canstructio~ af m~~ny ~ear mult~p~e fam~]y un~t5 in tne 1960's.
HDUSING TENJRE
Ref7ectiv~ of the large ~roport~an ot mu~t~p~e family units in
Sar•ta Mon~ca, the ~980 Census found th~t 22.1~ of the City's ~ousehalds
own the unit they iive in, and 77.9N rent. Tabie 2Gcompares ~~e City wlth
10 ather jur}sd~ctians. As the Tab7e shaws, Sa~ta Mon7ca had the lowest
proport~on af owner-households, and the h~g~est proportion of renter-househo~~~.
Fig~res 23 an~ Z4 shou owner- and renter-occ~pied housing u~~ts
by Ce~s~s Tract. In most tracts, renter-oc~upied Units s~gn~f~cant7y
outnu~ber owrer-occu~ied ~n~ts.
QV~RCROW~I~G
' The problem of overcrowding OCCUrS when there is insufficient
space for the number o~ persons l~v~ng in the ~we7ling, usua~iy measured
on t~e ~a5~s of 1.01 or more persons per room. Accard~ng to the CensuS,
` Santa Manica, as a whoie, had ir~ ~98D proportional]y a iess ser~ous
overcrowd~ng prob~em than ~os Ange7es County (see Ta~le2~~. In Santa
' Monica, 4.8 percert of a17 ha~sing un~ts were overcrowded, versus 13.0 percent
for the County. Figure 2~ sfows persons in overcrowded un~ts by Census Trac*.
~ Even trfough o~er~rowd~ng ~s not a major prob~em Cjty w~de, in the heav~ly
minar~ty census tracts (7013.01 and 7Gi8.02) the ~robie~ is much greater.

A s~gnificant pro~ortion of Santa ,M on~ca'~ p~Yu ~atzon is over
65 y~ars oTd, in 1970, there were 14,481 persons age 55 or o~der ~~ ~
Santa Mortica, accourt~ng for 1b.4 percent of the tota7 populatTOn. This
was a substanita7ly hTgher percentage than Los An geZes County a5 a w~ole, '
where 9.2 percent o~ the populatior~ was ov er age 55 in i970.
In 1980, the Census faund 14,478 persans 65 or older 1n tne C~~~, ~
or a 3-person decrease from '970. in ~98~, persons aged 65 or older
equaled lo.~ percert os the population. F~gure 32 snows t~e d~str~but7on ~

The ~ar'ge prvoar~~on of E3derly persons in Tract 7~J~5.Qi is ex;7aired
by the presence of several n~rs~ng hom~s. ETderly persan~ in grcup quarters '

Ti~e it.5. Census shows d S19111T1C3nt loss of cr~iTaren under i8 ~Fror~
197G to =y80. In 197G pErsons 17 or younger numbered i7,217 or 19.5M ~
ti~ the papulation. In I980, such persons eqc~aled t3,747, or 15.6~ of
the ~opulat~on. The overall loss frorn 197Q to 198C was 3,53~ cn~ldren, ~
or a 2Q.4~ deci~ne. The possible e;.planatians for the 2~oarent declire
~n thf number of children in Santa ~loniza are numero~s. ~
Campared to many ather areas, Santa Mo~ica has proportianal~y
fewer singTe famiiy homes. The average number of chi7dren in s~ngTe ~
fa~rily homes is usuaZiy muGh higher than in r~ult~-fam~iy dwelling5.
Thus, the historical ~attern of ]and use has had a s~gniftcant effect ~
on the num~er and proportion of children ~n 5anta Mon3ca,

~ h~gher prices for a~l uncontro~led ~.y~es or' haus~ng units, makes poss1~12
rent increases for control]ed units, and makes f~nding a home tc purchase

The 198D Census shows ~nits vacant-for-sa3e ar~d vacant-far-rent.
1.4 percent of the Clty's units were vacant-for-saTe, and 1.7~ were vacar,t-
~ for-rent. F~gures 57 and 58 show the Census data ~y Tra~t.
The number of units vacant-for-sa3e was hi~hest in the 5~ngie-#'amily
' areas os the C1ty and in areas wnere many new condominzums were recent~y
developed. Very few vacant-for-sale un~ts ~uere ~re5en* in the centraZ

L~n~~s va~a~t-for-rent were relative~y Scarce, rons~der3ng the large

C~ndominiur~s were f~rs~ 6ui7t in the City in the eariy 1970's. SincA
then, the number of Condo~n~nzu~ pro~ects has stea~i~y ;ncreased. Chang~s

apart~ent5 to condom~niurr.s. Recent~y, most ne+~r mult~-famil,y CO*lStY'L'Ct10."l

rent increases for control]ed units, and makes f~nding a home tc purchase

The 198D Census shows ~nits vacant-for-sa3e ar~d vacant-far-rent.
1.4 percent of the Clty's units were vacant-for-saTe, and 1.7~ were vacar,t-
~ for-rent. F~gures 57 and 58 show the Census data ~y Tra~t.
The number of units vacant-for-sa3e was hi~hest in the 5~ngie-#'amily

Table 87 shows that ir bofih absolute a~d re~ative terms, t~ere are few ,
units which are "affordabie" to ver;~ ~ow-income F~ousehalds. The situation
a~pears somewhat better for low-incor~e househo3ds, and s~g~ificant7y better '
for mo~erate-~r~come ho~5ehalds. For al7 three inccme groups, tnere is a
s~a]1 rzumber of un-its appropriate for Zarge famili2s. ~
An essential po~nt to note is ti~at the Tower-income graups mt~st cc~mpete
w~th a~] higher ~ncome groups for the i~m~ted number of theoretically ~
af~ardabZe units. It ~s Tikely that a s~gr~if~car~t number of theoret1c331y
affordable ~anits are occupied by ~au~~holds ~~vith h~gher incomes thaT~ wo~,ld ~

f
ihe actual r,umber of theor~tTCally af~ordable un:ts is prooabiy
gr~ater in 1981 than in 1978, due to a greater increase zn HllD's est~r~ated L
median ~ncame (from ~17,375 in 1978 to ~2i,400 i~ 1981, an increase of
over 57~) as ~omRared to increases allowed by tne Rent Contraf ~oard ~
(amo~nting tc 19~). Tnus, ~ncreases in the theflreticaT max~mum affordabie
rent payments set by FiUD have r}seR at faster pace than actua~ rents have ~
been permitre~ to rise, which has probabTy resulted in a significant
"ir,creasL" lr ti~e r~umber of "affardab~e" unsts. Increas~s zn the r~umber
of eheoretical~y affordable hous~ng un~ts could occ~r each year, attrTbutaole '
tn the d~fference in ~ncreases of ~ili~7 standar~s and Rent Contro7 Baard

For exar^ple, the ir~comes oF ]awer-~ncome ho~seho~ds may not have risen as
much as 7ncames of otner nousehoids. In ad~it7on, un~ts wh~ch are treoretieaily

Defining F~ousing needs is a sign~f~cant and complex task. How
hausing needs are def~ned ~nf~uer,ces d~rec~ly what ontiors are seZected
ta allev~ate those needs. 7he defir~ition task is comp~ex in ~hat there
are many quantitative as we~l as subject~ve approaches to nousing need.
What are so~e sz~b,7ective vi~wp~ints o~ hous~ng r~eed ~r~ Santa
~'.onica? Numerous organizations thraLghout the city respon~ed to a,
request from the P~anni~g Dzpart~re~~ far haus~ng prograr~ suggestions.
The se~ected excerpts that follow give an overv~ew of some perce~v~d
ho~sing needs in 5anta Monica. 7here exis4s t~e need for:

~ ~xzst~ng uousing Stock--Trends ard Ir~~acts
Santa E~~anica's current ~ous~ng stock C013525t5 of 45,I37 un~ts. Y6.E°=
of these un~ts are sing7e-fami7y, about 4.4a are condominiums, 0.6~ ma~iie
' homes, and the remaining 78.2~ are mu~t~-fami7y units. Over the last ten
years, the comPosition of the City's housing stock has changed significantly.
~ There has been a steady ~oss o~ single-ramiiy ho~res, dupiexes, tripiexes and
fourplexes. These ha~~e been re~7aced by higher der,s~ty apar~ment ca~r:piexes
~ and expensive cflndcrniniums. Over t~e 7ast 5 years, the major~ty o~ ne~.~
units built have be°n candom~niuns. Trends wh~ch have reduc2d the nu;~!ber
of 1o~,r and mcderate inco~ne housing uni~s are exami~ed below. These tre~~s
~ lend suppflrt to the felt need expresse~ ear~~er for "mare ~ousir~g" as wel~
as °more af~ordable" ho~sing. It is noted that tt~e C~ty's Rent Ccr.trol
~ la,;, passed in I979, has had sign~ficant effects regard~ng limiting rentai
payr=ent increases, and reduc~ng the nu~:~ers of remova75 through demo~it~on
~ or conversion. The Rent Contro7 iaw has thus 57owea overall trends
reducing "affordable" hou~ing in the City.
~ DeTOlit~on5 a~,d Conversions
In the mortf~s preceding tF~e t~ro rent contro~ e~ections in 7978 and ~979,
a large n~mber of renta~ units were dera~~sFed or converted to con~orriniurrs.
' 7E~e net effect of t~ese conversions and demol~t~ons ~as been a redGCt~or, in
the City's rentaT _hor~sing stoclc and the displacer:~ent of thousands,of
` tenar~ts: in 1978 and ~~79, i,Q80 un~ts, or almost 3~ of the mu~ti-famiZy

~ 5-Year Hou~ing Goals
Th~s section disc~ssed needs for new CorlStfUCt70n and rehabilitatzon.
~ According t~ the Southern Ca~tfornia AssQC~at~an of Governments ~SCAG~
Reg3ona7 Housing A3lacation Mode7 {RHAM), the City is providing ~ts fa~r
~ share of regianal ho~s~ng. ~he SCAG numhers 3ndicate, however that the existjng
resident po~u~atzon of the City i~a~ substant~al ~ousing needs, both for rehab-
~l~tataon and ho~s~ng a5sistance to eliminate over~aying. It would be very
' difficult for tr,e City of Santa Monica to meet a~i of 'the ident~fi~d needs in
a 5-year per~od, s~ it is assumed here that the total needs wi17 be addressed
~ over a 1Qnger per~od of t~me. The following prov~des an analysis using this
as5u~m~tion.
' Rehab~l~tatior Ne~ds
ihe 1918 Regional Hausing A7location M~~ei shaws a total of 5,229 ur~~ts
' ~n the City suitah~e for rehabilztation, ~f which ~87 were awner-occup~e~,
and 5,042 were renter -occup~ed. In addition, there were an est~rrated 1,474
' substandard ur.its whzch were 5u7tah7e far demol~tion according to the HAP,
w~th 51 of these bei~q owner-occupied, and 1,423 of these units being renter-
occup~ed.
' Tne Housing Assistance Flan, wrricn was prepared to satisfy Federa7 requ~rements,
i5 general~y used to deve~o~ housing program goals. The stanaard goal wt~icr is
' used zn this system ~s to meet 3~ of the ident~fiea needs per year, or 15;~ of
~cY~e nepd5 over a~-year peria~. This standard is used here to de~elap tri~ 5-
~ year housing goa~s.
Usir~g the 3~ per year gaa~, a tata'E o-F 790 units should be rehati~itated
, over a 5-year period, or 158 un~ts per year. 5 to 0 owner-occupied units
s~ould be r~hab~Iitated each year, an~ 152 renter-accuA~e~ un~ts should b~
~ rehab~7~tated eaci~ year. Ir a~dition, 44 units per year, or 221 un~ts over
a 5-year Qeriod should be replaced due to their substandard condition.

~oderate and high-income ~ouse~olds may also have housing a5sz5tance
~ needs. However, data is lacking concerning these needs. In addition, ~ecause
of higher income, these ~ouse~olds can exerc~se cansiderably more choice rEgard3ng
~ their housing than can lpwer-~n~ome househo~ds.
If the City ~s to mainta~n its eCOnom~c divers~ty, in add~t~on to meeting
~ t~e n€ed~ identif~ed t~rough the HAP ana3ys~s, there would be a need ~or hous~~g
develaped ~n the City to be affordabTe to inco~e groups ~n pro~ortion ta their
, percentage ~n the current populat~on. ~sing 1470 Gensus ~ncame data, this wouid

~ households, 13~ to low-income househo~ds, 23~ to moderate-~nccme househo~ds,
' and 35~ to high in~ome households.
The needs disc~s5ed above could be addressed in a n~mber of ways, through
~ efforts of both the private and pubiic sectors, The Programs Sect~on ~1SCU5525
existing housing programs, and ~roposed rew programs ta ~eet the identif~ed
~ needs. It is also noted that due to a variety of factors, inelud~ng popu7atzon
changes, ~ncome changes, demolitions and new cvnstruct~ons, Rent Control, rea~
~ estate market changes, and var~ous government programs, ha~~sing needs may have
changed since the RNAM base data was prepared.
~ Growth Needs
In 1982, as part of d new Regionai Housing A1]otatio~ Model (~HAN!), tl~e
' Sauthern Galifarnia Association of Governments (SCAGJ develaped an estimaLe of
Santa Monica growth to 1986. The RE~;;M growth companent is discussed here.

Included wsthin t~e RHAM growth est~r~ate are thE goais or acn~eving a~:
uverali 3 percer~t vacancy rate by ~486, and of replacirg a31 housing un~ts
demoi~shed through the recyc3ing process. The RHA~~1 also a37ocates new n0~51~1g
unit~ by income category, dzsplay~ng both a regiona~ and a City d~str~but~on.
The RHAM estimates that 900 ho~sehoZds wi~1 be a~ded between 1981 ard
1986 attr~butab~e ta both pr~vate- ar~d ~ubZ~c-sectar res~de~tia] develcpsnen~..
The ~NAh1 a35a st~ows a rteed for 824 hot~sing units ta be developed to achieve
an overa]1 3o vacancy rate, and 480 ~nits to rep7ace units demo~ished because
of recycling. Togetf~er these three components est~mate devel~pment of 2,20~
rew hQ~sing un~ts between 1981 and 198b, and a net increase of I,724 un~ts.
TheSe ~u~bers are dzsplayed in the Table 5e~aw.

The RHAM est~m«tes annual development ot an average of 4~1 new i~nzzs
p~~ yrar, ana 345 net added units per year. It s}~ouTd ~e noted th~t far a
variety of re~sons, tt~e RHhM growth estimates may ~e high or low. hatianal,
regiona~, and ioca] econamic, social, and legal factors cou~d signifzcantly
affect actual growth levels.
The RHAM aiso inc~udes a pol~~y goal of aci~~eving a 3 percent o~erall
vacancy rate by ~986. 82~ new units, over and above expect~d grotiJth, would
have to be added to the hou5ing stack to achteve th~s goa7. Ti~e City accepts
the 3 percent ffgure as a highly des~rable goal towards w~ich to strive.
It is noted, howe~er, that the canstraints under which the City wil~ operate
7n its effort5 to meet tt~e basic growth needs wit~ adequate distr~b~tion by
yncome grc~ps wil~ make prOVision of ~n~ts to ach~eve the 3 percent vacancy
rate difflcult. 7he C~ty'S housing pragram mu:t fir5t address ti~e need5
of existing and ex~ected househo~d5, If the City is able to overcame the

This is a IBG~ increase. The average prTCe af a condom~n~um in Santa
Monica ~n 1980 wa5 $221,100. This appreciatzon has made Santa Manica
hous~r~g, and So~thern Ca~ifarnia ho~sir~g in genera], a desirab3e ~nvestment,
a hedge against inflation, and has attracted newcomers an~ ~nvestors from
out-of-state.
In Santa Mon}ca t~e rap3d ri se ir~ the cost Of I~flUSl~lg I3d5 be~r~
espec~a~ly acute. The de57rability of 5anta Monica and its l~m~ted
land size f~ave drtiven ~anc' values up to proh~b~tive levEls fc~r ~nast
segments of the papuTat~on. The turrent price for R-1 homes general~y
ranges from $150,000 to occasional~y over ~1,GOD,~OG, and candominiums
show a general price range af from ~15Q,000 to sometimes over $700,~00.
Nany of the same price and des~rabi~~ty factors operate in th~ area
~~nediately surroc~nd~ng Santa Mo~~ca.
The o~era~l inflation rates and the increased cost of f~nanc~ng
re~F7ected ir~ ris~ng interest rate5 have ~ombined w~th housing price
appreciat~or~ ta p~rsh haneownership beyond t#~e reach of most househo~ds.
F~rst-Llme bu,yers are faced w~tl~ a~arger perce~tagQ af their ~ncor,~?
be~r~g devoted to housing costs. f~igher downpayments and gEr~erally
reduced cred~t avai~abil~ty are el~mznating many new first-t~me buyers.
Gurrent rental co5ts ~n Santa Mar~~ca are estimated to be averaging
about ~220 for a s7ngle ~n~t, 5300 for a 1-bedroom, ~4D0 for a 2-bedroor~,
and ~~8G for a 3-bedroom uni~. Whi7e rent control ~as he~d down rents
some rents are st~li high enough at the controlled leveis as to be beyond
the reach of many low and moderate 3ncome perso~~s, especialZy young famz~ies
need~ng large units.
Ava-ilability of Existing kLous~ng
, Economic barriers to home ownersh~p f~ave kept many households from
entering tf~e ~wners~ap market and dr3ven them 3nstead into the rentai
~ m~~rketi. Cansequer~t3y, the demand for existing renta] housing has increased.
Rcute shortage of ren'~al units in Sar~ta Monica is evidenced by high prices
and Iow vacancy rates. The 1980 Census found that on7y 1.7 ;~ af thf• C~ty'S
' rer~tal units were vacant-for rent. These trends h~ve reduced the availabil~ty
of loal and moderate income units.

Produ~t~on af New HousiRg
~ The ge~era~ m~rket cond~ttians affe~ttirrg existing F-ousir~g a~sa af~ect
the production of ~ew housir~g. Rising costs af Iabor, materia~s, financi~g
~nd 7an~ have decrease~ housing sta~ts natianw~de.
A 1980 report, CaZ~fornia Housing Rf~ardab~~ity, A Specia7 R~~ort
From Secur~ty Pacif~c ~4ationa~ B~nic, nates:
"Conservative estimates ir~dicate that Galifarnza
needed between 25Q,00~ and 290,000 new units per year
d~ring the ~ast decade in order to keep pace ~~th new
ha~seho~d formations and in-r~~grat~on levels and ~a
replace de~eriorating housing stock, lVew ~ousit~g prQdt~Et~on
surpass2d the lower end of th~s range ~uring on~y t~ree
of the last te~ years, resu7t~ng in a shortfa3l of ap~rox-
~mately 500,OQ0 ur~its during tE~e decade."
Ta~lels7 frcm the ab~ve nam~d report gra~hica'lly s~o~~s the inad~quate
tlumbar pT new housing ~nits over tt~e past ten yea~s.
The hausing~shortage of Los Angeles Co~nty has rece~tly ga~Fered
freGuent r~edia at4e*~tion. The partZCUiar ne2ds of ~ow and mo~erate
ir~com~ ~aUSeho~ds have b~en the foc~s or num~rous re~orts ar~d state-
mer~ts by ~he Lo~ ArgeTes County Board of Superv-isors and the Los
Angeles C~ty Co~nc~l. Santa Monica is na4 unusual in t~is re57on for
its housing s~or±ag~.
Ti~e number of ~ous~ng units of a13 k~nds, except ccndo~iniums,
declined in Santa Monica over the past five year5. In 1979 aTone, over
700 dwelling un~ts were demo]~st~ed. The net change is rep]ace~nent of
]ower cos.t units w~th h~gher cflst units. Genera~ly, replacer~ent unit~
are cond~miniums. Fram January 1976 to A~g~st ~987, i1~8 r~ccu~ancy
perm~ts were granted for new c~ndominiu~rs (Sources: Santa Mon~ca
Planning Oepartrr~ent, Santa Monica 8~i7d~~g ~epartment). As noted eari~er,
most new condomir~3~ms are ~rice ~ey~nd tfi~e reach of many ~ousehotids.
It is estimated by the City's Planning ~epartment (Data Section} that the
]979 demol~t~ons and rer~ovais dis~~aced 1000 to T500 residents.

econom~c disparity and other needs and valups ~-ave been super-imposed
on the housing r~arket thraugh ~~i]ding co~es, zaning laws, land ~se
controZs, fees, permit reg~irements and other methods. Popular votes
have intervened at times ta exert the pu~lic wi7i.
Chang~ng po~itica7 currents respo~ding to ar~d inter~ening »
mar~Cet Conditions cause cont~nu~ng fZtactuations and uncertalr~ty in the
ava~7ability of affordable hauszng. Ir~ times af relative~y easy access
ta adequate ho~sir~g for most of the po~ulation, other issues I~ave take~
precedent. For examp3e, env~r~onme~tal concerrts lead to an increa5e in
governren~ constraints to preserve and protect apen space and Uni~ue
reso~rces such as the coasta~ zone. Such environmental protect~ons
tended to constrair~ rather than encaurage deve'~opment of hou5ing. T~e
eurrent need for adeqJate affordabie hausing has now reached crisis
proportions, This cris~s has led to intreased and in~ensif~ied po7-~t~cal
pre~sure for a rev~ew an~ re-evaluatiar~ of current government constra~~t5
to housing s~pp7y and af~ardability.
fJrrit Size ~nd ~ensity
T~e cost per Gnit of ~o~sing tends ta increase when the a~nount o~
Zand req~,ired per unit increases. In 1974 the "Qua7i~y of Lite Arrrendnents"

- Increased the req~ired area per unit in R3 zanes

ArchitectUral Re~f~ew B~drd
r
' This relati~e~y new rev~ew procedt~re in Santa ~9on~ca has added
another step in the pernit pracess fcr new constru~tivn. It is seen by
deve~opers to constrain the production and incr-ease ~he cost flf new hous~ng
beca:~se it contributes ta ur~eertainty in the feas~bil~ty and cost of
projects. The Review Soard 7aclcs object~ve standards wh7cn developers tan
with certainty canfor~r~ ta.
Availability of Pubiic 5ervices
City serv~ces such as street, water, sewer, gas, e7ectrica~ and
teZepl~one systems serue as a~ractical canstraint on tE~e expanslan o~ the
ho~sing stock. L~mits on these ca~acities are rela~ed to use patterns,
new tec~nology and changes in finar~cia~ resources. An aging seWer system
~n Santa Monica has recent~y necess~~ated an ~ncrease ir~ sewer ~onnect~an
co5~~ in order to ra3se the ~apital neede~ ta ma3ntain, moderniae and
expand tf~e se~.~°ar 5yst~s~.
Pe-~nit ~r~cess
A~ajar ta~p~ain~ co~rcerning government regu~at~on is tfi~e amount
` of tir:p necessary to process deve'[opmant app~icat~ons. When constructian
is de~ayed for lengthy per~ods, ~nFiationary pressures can increase costs
siflnificantly. Such~delays may res~lt from iega3 constraints, inef~iciency,
]ack of staff, latk of k~owledge or uncertainty of the pracess on the part
of tt~n developer, or becau~e 5evera~ go~rerr,mental ag~ncies must review the
proje~t.
Santa l~or~ica daes ~~t n9w fiave a"one-stap" ~3Q3"ti11~ pt'OC~55 to exped~te
certain types of ~vusing projects.
Tahle 1l~ and Tab~e 112 are documents prepared by the City P~anning Departr,~ent
ta g~ve a genera] averview of the permit process in Santa Monica and the range of
time de~ays for d~fferent permit requirements. It tis ~oted that these t~me periods
rnay not reflect changes betng made through the 3ask Force pr~pn5a1~.
Table 713 shows the compar~son between 5anta hlonica and surroundir~ cities
for tir~e delay ~n the perm~t process. It zs apparent that Santa Mon~ca does not
pose the time de7ays for deveiapers that surro~nding cities genera7ly ~o ~ose.
It ~s r~oted that these t~me periods may not refiect chanaes being made trrough
the Task Force proposals.

Sp~c3f~c COr15'~rdlTltS to Se~tiori 8 k~ousinq
As of January 15, 198I Sant~ M~nzca had the foZlo~ing ur~its und~r
contract: 6I 0-bedroam e~d~r~y uni~s, 2I1 ~-bedroom e7der~y ur~its, I
one-bedroo~n non-e7derly un~t, 13 2-~etiroam elderly un7ts, 4~ 2-b°droon
~on-eTderl~r units, 21 3-bedraom no~-e~deriy ~nzts, and 2 4-~edrao~n
non-plderly un~ts, for a total of 2$5 eZderiy ~nits aRd 69 non-elderly
units. The total HUD a7locatzon for Santa Monica is 445 units, meanirC
a"shortral7": of 91 un~ts, most of wh~ch are in the Z-bedroom non-elder]y
(sr::ai ~ f~~ iy) ~ategory.
In t~e ~ast, HUD has a73owed ti~e C3ty to shift some non-e~derly sma~l
fa~n~'~y al~ocations to e~der3y categori~s, but HU~? has not perm~tted th~s
in recent times. 1.isted below are som~ constra~nts under which the Section

unzts to e~der~y category fr~r~ another category {e.g. nan-elder'iy
two-bedroor~) .
HUD's maximum allowabie rents whic~ ~and~ords may c~arge for
a given unit may be lower than wouZd be attractive to so~;~e
landlords. However, tF~e Hi~D rental rate takes precedent over
the rate set by the Rent Cantro7 Baard. In some zases this
may resu7t in a higher- allowable rent and operate as an
# ricenti ve for pa*~ti c~ pati ng i n~i~e Sect~ on 8~rogram.

so as to ade~uate]y ~~f~rr~ both ~otentia~ ~and;ords a,~a
