NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of San
Jacinto as follows:
Section 1. Incorporation of Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and
.r.
correct and are incorporated herein and made an operative part of this Resolution.
Section 2. Findings. The City Council hereby finds, determines and declares
that there exist in the City both unsanitary and unsafe inhabited dwelling
accommodations and a shortage of decent, safe, sanitary and affordable dwelling
accommodations in the City which are available to persons of low income.
The City's findings are based on the following findings of fact:
■ The City's Housing Needs Assessment confirms that there is a shortage of safe
and sanitary dwelling units within the City for very low and low income tenants.
The Southern California Association of Governments ("SCAG") has adopted a
Regional Housing Needs Assessment for its member cities. For San Jacinto,
SCAG has established the City's fair share of regional housing need as 12,026
additional units for the period of January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2014. For the
current planning period, SCAG has determined that there is a need for an
additional 2,707 very low income dwelling units, 1,931 low income units, 2,206
moderate income dwelling units and 5,183 above moderate income dwelling
units. The City's remaining unmet need for the planning period is 3,807 dwelling
units. There is a remaining unmet need for 1 ,354 extremely low, 1,321 very low
dwelling units and 1,132 low income dwelling units. In order to meet the City's
remaining unmet need for very low income and low income dwelling units, it is
necessary that the City form the San Jacinto Housing Authority to assist in the
development of a safe and sanitary housing supply, which is affordable to very
low and low income tenants.
�• • The Housing Element of the San Jacinto General Plan confirms that there is
overcrowding, which is an indicator of housing availability and indicative of
unsafe and unsanitary conditions. The Census defines overcrowding as
households with greater than 1.01 per room, excluding kitchens, bathrooms, and
porches. According to the 2000 Census, approximately 14 percent of the
households in the City were living in overcrowded conditions, which is slightly
higher than the proportion of Riverside County residents living in these
conditions.
• Formation of the San Jacinto Housing Authority supports the following goal and
policies of the Housing Element of the San Jacinto General Plan:
o Housing Goal 3: Assist in the development of a housing supply
which is affordable to all segments of the community.
• Policy 3.1: Allow for the development of housing affordable
to all income groups by utilizing a variety of public and
private efforts.
• Policy 3.2: Assist with the development of housing that
targets the needs of special populations, including the
,� elderly, disabled, farmworkers, and homeless.
• Policy 3.3: Promote the development of attractive and safe
housing to meet community needs.
Section 3. Declaration of Need for San Jacinto Housing Authority. The City
Council hereby finds, determines and declares that there is a need for the San Jacinto
Housing Authority to function in the City, and the San Jacinto Housing Authority is
hereby permitted to transact any business and exercise any power conferred upon it by
the provisions of the Housing Authorities Law.
Section 4. Legal Name of the Housing Authority. The legal name of the San
Jacinto Housing Authority shall be the "San Jacinto Housing Authority, a public body
corporate and politic."
Section 5. Boundaries. The jurisdictional boundaries of the San Jacinto
Housing Authority are concurrent with those of the City of San Jacinto.
Section 6. City Council Members to Serve as Housing _Authority_
Commissioners. The City Council of the City of San .Jacinto finds that the appointment
of the members of the City Council, as the Commissioners of the San Jacinto Housing
Authority will serve the public interest and promote the public safety and welfare in an
effective manner and, therefore, the members of the City Council are hereby declared
to be the Commissioners of the San Jacinto Housing Authority with all rights, powers,
duties, privileges and immunities vested by the Housing Authorities Law, except as
otherwise provided by the Housing Authorities Law,
Section 7. Designation of First Chairman. The Mayor of the City of San
Jacinto shall serve as the first Chairman of the San Jacinto Housing Authority, until the
Authority selects his successor.
Section 8. S_everability. If any provision of this Resolution is held invalid, the
remainder of this Resolution shall not be affected by such invalidity, and the provisions
