STAFF REPORT
Previously, the Mayor and Common Council commissioned a
housing market study to be conducted by Empire Economics,
Inc., a firm very familiar with the housing market and
various trends in the Inland Empire and San Bernardino in
particular. Staff met with the consultant on August 18, 1987
to finalize the overall reporting format and presentation of
data. It is anticipated the printed report will be available
the first week of September, 1987.
In addition to the above report staff has been working
closely with the HUD Santa Ana office in connection with the
city's acquisition/rehabilitation/resale component of the
infill program. Both of the above activities are a part of
the "fleshing out" process of the comprehensive housing
policy adopted by the Mayor and Common Council on May 5,
1986. Said policy directs staff to take certain actions
relative to developing a housing strategy that, if
successfully implemented, would provide the city a balanced
and optimal mix of housing representative of the development
and socio-economic trends relating to this particular
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).
Because of the importance of this issue and the "window of
opportunity" available to the Mayor and Common Council as a
result of the General Plan revision and OPR-imposed restric-
tions on residential development, I am recommending the
setting of a date and time certain on either September 14,
1987 or September 28, 1987. These days fall between regular
Council meetings and would allow for a focused discussion of
the issues without the distraction of a regular Council
agenda. It would also allow the participation of the General
Plan citizen Advisory Committee, developers and other
interested parties.
I recommend adoption of the form motion.
