APPENDIX A HOUSING ELEMENTS PROGRAIVI CHECKLISTS
Checklist 1- Housing Element Programs
Checklist
Checklist
CITY OF REDLANDS 2014-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE 39
7.1 Goal: Adequate Sites for Housing
PROGRAMS
7.1-1 Make Zoning Ordinance changes for Group Homes, Boardinghouses,and Single Room Occupancy(SRO)Units.The current Zoning Ordinance does not
clearly define these housing types. Furthermore,where to allow and what kind of reviews are appropriate for these uses should be reconsidered.While
not explicitly listed,SROs are currently permitted in the C-3 zone.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department; Redlands
City Council.
Actions Needed: The City is actively evaluating and modifying the
provisions for group homes,boardinghouse,and SROs by
clarifying definitions, considering appropriate zoning
districts, developing criteria for review of projects and
determining appropriate reviews.This process is a priority
for the City and will be complete within 6 months of the
adoption of this Housing Element.
Financing: Staff time.
7.1-2 Implement Zoning Ordinance to include standards for Single Room Occupancy(SRO)housing within the Downtown Specific Plan area.SROs provide a
valuable source of affordable,low-cost housing.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department; Redlands
City Council.
Actions Needed: Current and ongoing.
Financing: Staff time.
7.1-6 Launch Second Dwelling Unit Public Awareness Campaign. During the last few years, approximately three to five second units are permitted per year
and have been built in the city.To encourage greater use of this approach to producing more affordable units,the City will initiate a public awareness
campaign to inform the public about the opportunity to build second units in any residential zone on a parcel with an existing single-family unit.
CITY OF REDLANDS 2014-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE 40
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department; Redlands
City Council.
Actions[Needed: Initiate public awareness campaign within six months of
the adoption of this Housing Element. Efforts will include
developing information packets to market second-unit
construction and advertising second-unit development
opportunities to homeowners on the community's
website and in other locations.
Financing: Staff time

Goal: Housing for Extremely Low-, Very Low-, Low- and Moderate-Income Households
PROGRAMS
7.2-3 Determine the feasibility of using Mortgage Credit Certificates.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands City Council or San Bernardino County;Redlands
Development Services Department.
Actions Needed: Staff to contact agencies with on-going programs and
determine feasibility for a program in Redlands within six
months of the adoption of this Housing Element. If
feasible, may be used as a companion program to
Mortgage Revenue Bonds in place of Mortgage Bonds.
Financing: Staff time.
Mortgage Credit Certificates(MCCs)were first authorized by the Tax Reform Act of 1984. The act permits state and local governments to exchange some
or all of their authority to issue Mortgage Revenue Bonds(MRBs)for the authority to issue Mortgage Credit Certificates. A certificate entities first-time
home buyers with incomes less than 1.15 percent of median income to reduce the amount of their federal income tax liability by an amount equal to a
portion of the interest paid during the year on their home mortgage. Unlike the standard mortgage interest rate deduction, which is subtracted from the
adjusted income before calculating income tax owed, this credit is deducted from the actual money owed. The credits are in addition to the standard
deduction. By allowing qualified homebuyers to use more of their income on mortgage payments, the credit increases their effective home-buying power.
7.2-4 Participate in the (HUD) HOME Investment Partnership Program for Multi-Family Housing. The City of Redlands will continue to pursue HOME
Investment Partnership funds in cooperation with San Bernardino County, and recommend eligible programs through the five-year Consolidated Plan.
Since 2009, the City has received Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME funds directly, rather than through San Bernardino
County; this status will revert to cooperation with the County in July 2015.
Responsible Agencies: Development Services Department, non-profit
organizations.
CITY Of REDLANDS 2014-2017 STRATEGIC ALAN PAGE 42
Actions Needed: Ongoing. Staff to coordinate with County of San
Bernardino, Housing and Community Development, non-
profit organizations.
Financing: Staff tirne.
The(HUD) HOME Investment Partnership Program for Multi family Housing replaces the State Rental Rehabilitation Program (SRRP), HUD Section 312
Program, Urban Homesteading, and HUD's Rental Rehabilitation for Entitlement Communities.
Money from the HOME program can be used for new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation. The program emphasizes local governments working
with non-profit housing development corporations. Local governments must assign 15 percent of their allocation to non-profits for rehabilitation or new
construction. Local governments may also give,money to private individuals.
The process for receiving grant money is based on a formula that considers the number of rental units constructed in a community before 1950 and its
percentage of poor families.
7.2-8 Implement Housing Referral and Placement Program.Support establishment of a program for those needing housing to link with those wanting to share
their homes or wishing to take advantage of the City's"second dwelling unit"ordinance.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department and a non-
profit organization.
Actions Needed: Work with a non-profit to coordinate those wishing to
supplement their income by sharing their home or
creating a second unit with those in need of housing
within two years of the adoption of this Housing Element.
Financing: Staff time,.
7.2-9 Remove Constraints to Affordable Housing Development in the Downtown. With the adoption of the revised Downtown Specific Plan(by Winter 2014),
sites previously zoned C-3 and C-4 in the housing inventory (sites 58-63,Appendix B)will become mixed-use.This means that housing development will
no longer require a Conditional Use Permit(CUP).
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department.
CITY OF REDLANDS 2014-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE 43
Actions Needed: Adoption of the revised Downtown Specific Plan by
Winter 2014.
Financing: Staff time.
7.2-10 Transit-Oriented Development(TOD). Promote TOD in Redlands by providing a 25 percent housing density/FAR bonus to development projects located
within%mile of the proposed Downtown Metrolink transit station.Prepare development standards for transit overlayzone around this Metrolink station;
until such time that the standards are codified,allow 25 percent bonus subjectto design review to ensure that development projects are pedestrian-and
transit-friendly.This bonus shalt be in addition to any bonus for affordable and senior housing; both the TOD and affordable/senior housing bonuses shall
be applied to the maximum density/FAR permitted by the General Plan Land Use Element and the applicable zoning district where a development project
is located.
The Downtown Metrolink station (between Eureka and Orange streets) is one of five planned Metrolink stations in Redlands.The%-mile radius around
this station encompasses 942 of the identified 1,247 sites suitable for very low-and low-income units(76%of all very low-and low-income sites),and 24
percent of total identified housing sites.
Responsible Agencies: Development Services Department,City Council.
Actions Needed: Allow density bonus upon adoption of the Revised
Downtown Specific Plan (Winter 2014) and incorporate
detailed provisions in Zoning Ordinance within one year
of adoption.
Financing: None.
7.2-12 Lot Consolidation. Work with San Bernardino County Housing Authority and others on identifying and developing sites for affordable housing projects.
Where needed,encourage lot consolidation through various methods available to promote affordable housing development in downtown,transit areas,
or other sites with suitable amenities and services.
Responsible Agencies: Development Services Department
Action Needed: Using the sites inventory in this Housing Element, Development Services Staff will maintain an inventory of available sites
for affordable housing development and identify areas where lot consolidation would increase opportunity and likelihood
of affordable housing development. Work with San Bernardino County to identify appropriate tools for lot consolidation
as needed.
CITY Of REDLANDS 2014-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE 44
Financing: Staff tirne.

Goal: Housing for Special Needs Groups
PROGRAMS
7.3-8 Assess and Address the Housing Needs of Large Families and Overcrowded Households. While Census data suggests that overcrowding is not a
significant issue for the City of Redlands,these conditions may be underreported. Community members and non-profit organizations active in Redlands
state that economic conditions have resulted in many cases of multiple families occupying single units, resulting in overcrowded conditions. Given the
conflicting information, in order to better assess the current conditions and the need for larger family housing, the City will conduct a study of
overcrowding and make policy recommendations for City Council consideration. Recommendations could include amending the City's Residential
Development Allocation point system to include a bonus for affordable units that can support large families(units with four or more bedrooms).
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department
Actions Needed: Staff to develop study methodology and initiate program
within 18 months of Housing Element adoption. Methods
could include conducting surveys and collaborating with
organizations such as the Family Service Association of
Redlands,who serves this population.
Financing: Staff time.
Other programs in this Housing Element aimed at helping families move out of shared units and into appropriately sized and priced housing can also
mitigate overcrowded conditions. These include 7.2-2, 7.2-3, 7.2-5, 7.2-6, and 7.2-8.

7.9 Additional Programs
7.9-1 Augment Density Bonus. While cities must at least have density bonus provisions that comply with State law,they are at liberty to provide incentives
above and beyond those mandated by the State.The City will consider incentives beyond State law and will also consider offering bonuses to specifically
encourage denser development in proximity to planned Metrolink stations in addition to the Downtown station, where the City is already looking to
implement a density bonus.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department; Redlands
City Council.
Actions Needed: Actively pursue augmentation of the density bonus within
one and a half years of the adoption of this Housing
Element. Additional incentives will be analyzed to make
sure that they do not undermine the affordability
provisions of State density bonus law.
Financing: Staff to administer program.
7.9-2 Evaluate Allowing Residential Uses in C-1 Neighborhood Stores and C-2 Neighborhood Convenience Center Districts. Currently,these districts do not
allow residential uses,although mixed-use development may be appropriate in some of the C-1 and C-2 zones.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department; Redlands
City Council
Actions Needed: Actively pursue amending the zoning code to add
residential uses as a use permitted subject to a
Conditional Use Permit in the C-1 and C-2 zones within
two years of the adoption of this Housing Element.

CITY OF REDLANDS 2014-2017 STRATEGIC PLAN PAGE 49
Responsible Agencies: Redlands Development Services Department; Redlands
City Council.
Actions Needed: Actively pursue amendments to the General Plan and
Zoning Ordinance, to permit high density residential
uses(including mixed uses)in proximity to the proposed
rail stations identified in the Redlands Passenger Rail
Study.This should be done as part of the comprehensive
update of the General Plan currently underway and
within three years of the adoption of this Housing
Element.
Financing: Staff time.
7.9-4 Evaluate Initiating a Ballot Measure to Allow Carryover of unused Building Permit Allocations From Year to Year. Proposition R and Measure N
established a limit of four hundred (400) dwelling units that could be built in any one calendar year.The original number was established based on a
historical average of dwelling units per year. Proposition R and Measure N prohibit the carryover of unused dwelling units from year to year.While this
will not necessarily prohibit the City from meeting its current housing goals,it may be required to exceed the 400 unit cap at some point in order to meet
the goals if the development activity were to remain low for an extended period of time during this Element's tirne period.
Responsible Agencies: Redlands City Council
Actions Needed: Hold a public hearing to consider initiating an
amendment to Measure N. This public hearing will be
held in time to get the amendment on the ballot for the
November 2016 election.
Financing: Staff time and funding City Election
