As you know, we are required to review adopted housing elements and report our findings to the locality pursuant to Government Code Section 65585 (h) . The element has been submitted with findings adopted by the City Council which state the reasons why the City believes the housing element complies with the law, despite some of the revisions described in our January 13 , 1994 review letter. Our review of the adopted element considers the findings adopted by the Council . The adopted element adequately addresses some of the concerns outlined in our January 13 , 1994 review letter of the draft element. For example, the element now provides an adequate analysis of overcrowded and overpaying households (comment A) , includes a program strategy to preserve subsidized housing at- risk of conversion (comment C) , clarifies the availability of site opportunities for emergency shelters and transitional housing (comment B. l.b. ) , and describes the City' s program for resolving housing discrimination complaints (comment B-3 ) . However, the adopted element has not been modified to address requirements relating to the identification of sufficient sites and the mitigation of residential growth management policies necessary to accommodate the balance of the City' s housing needs within the planning period (January 1991 - July 1999) . Refer to our January 13 , 1994 review letter (comments B. l.a. and B.2 . ) for more information regarding these requirements and recommendations for addressing them. Mr. John Dunn Page 2 The adopted findings indicate that the City' s assigned regional housing needs assessment was based on inaccurate data and is therefore inappropriate and unachievable within the planning period. This issue was addressed in our September 23 , 1993 letter to the City (copy enclosed) . No significant additional information, not already described in the housing element, is provided by the findings- to support the City' s claim that it cannot adopt a housing plan which accommodates all of its egional housing needs. Therefore, the el - 1 with S tate— ousing element aw (Article 10 . 6 of the Government Code) -The ove concerns were reviewe -'telephone conversation with Mr. Jeff Hook, the City' s Project Planner. We continue to offer our assistance in revising the element to comply with State law. If you have any questions concerning our comments, or would like to discuss any technical assistance needs, please contact Gary Collard, of our staff, at (916) 327-2644 . In accordance with requests pursuant to the Public Records Act, we are forwarding copies of this letter to the persons and organizations listed below.
