FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Funds for this project have been approved under the Fiscal Year
2001-2002 Community Development Department Budget
BACKGROUND:
Last April, staff distributed Request for Proposals to nine Consulting firms for purposes of completing the
2001-2006 Housing Element Update for the City of Dublin. The City received four proposals from the
following consulting firms: Spangle Associates; Economic & Planning Systems; Parsons; and
Cotton/Bridges/Associates. Consultant interviews were held and the firm Parsons was selected for the
contract based on their knowledge of State Housing Element law and the quality of their proposal, as
shown in Exhibit A of Attachment 2.
The existing Housing Element was last updated in 1991. 'State Housing Element law generally requires
that cities assess their current and projected housing needs; inventory land and public facilities for
potential housing development and analyze existing zoning and land use patterns; analyze potential
government and non-government constraints for all income levels and current or proposed efforts to

remove them; inventory affordable housing units that are at risk of becoming market-rate units and
identify what the city has done or can do to retain affordable units; and facilitate public participation that
represents all income levels and types of housing needs. The Housing Element Update will also
incorporate the strategies and programs of the City's Affordable Housing Implementation Program.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
The Scope of Services in the contract agreement (Exhibit A of Attachment 2) contains the consultant's
proposal for preparation of Dublin's 2001-2006 Housing Element Update. The Scope of Services
involves completing 4 major tasks: housing needs assessment report; preparation of the Housing
Element; CEQA compliance; and public participation/staff coordination.
As reflected in the Scope of Services for the Housing Element Update, the consultant has a clear
understanding of the project scope and the related tasks and has demonstrated their ability to prepare
Dublin's Housing Element Update that will comply with State housing element law, in a timely and cost
effective manner. Staff recommends Parsons because they have extensive recent experience preparing
housing elements for other California jurisdictions and they can offer highly qualified and experienced
staff to work on the project.
Public workshops for the project are expected to occur September and October of 2001; and public
hearings before the Planning Commission and City Council are expected to take place November of 2001;
and February and March of 2002.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Adopt the Resolution (Attachment 1) selecting the consultant
Parsons for preparing the Dublin Housing Element Update; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute
contract agreement for $37,400 (Attachment 2).

Exhibit A
Scope of Services
TASK 1: HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
1.1 HOUSING NEEDS ANALYSIS
IDENTIFY/ANALYZE DATA
Parsons will rely on existing sources of public and private data provided by the City to complete
the Housing Needs Assessment. The City has represented to Parsons that it has collected a
substantial amount of information needed for the update. Based on the assumption that Parsons
will spend less time on data identification and collection for the Housing Needs Assessment
Report, we have budgeted approximately 160' hours of time for data collection, analysis, and the
preparation of the report. As pan of project initiation, Parsons will review with City staff the
data collected by the City and its use for the Housing Element update in relation to each of the
data requirements of state law (based on the checklist used by the California Department of
Housing and Community Development). If Parsons believes that additional hours will be
necessary beyond the hours budgeted in this proposal, we will provide a supplemental scope and
budget for the additional work.
The focus of the data collection will be on filling in "gaps" of knowledge to update the current
Housing Element, beginning with the data already collected by the City. Because the current
Housing Element was prepared in 199I, some of the population and housing data necessary to
address state law requirements will still be relevant to the updated Element. In addition, Parsons
will be able to use information collected for the General Plan background report and EIR.
To update the Housing Needs Assessment, Parsons will:
· contact community organizations serving special needs groups, including seniors;
· consult with federal, state, regional, and private agencies with demographic and housing
information;
review data from school districts and other agencies that serve particular segments of the
population;
· contact real estate and rental property sources to verify information on housing costs and
rents; and
· consult with developers, real estate firms, and other sources to update information on
development costs.
HOUSING CONDITIONS & OPTIONAL HOUSING CONDITIONS SURVEY
Parsons will review City records (Community Development and Building Department Code
Enforcement) to prepare an estimate of the number of housing units in need of rehabilitation and
replacement as required by state law. If City records on housing conditions are insufficient to
prepare such an. estimate, Parsons wilt recommend an exterior housing conditions survey in
targeted areas of the City with concentrations of older dwelling units. Such areas of the City are
Scope of Work
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
the most likely to contain residences in need maintenance or rehabilitation to their homes.
Parsons will conduct a "windshield survey" of housing by using the methodology recommended
by HCD in its Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Management Manual, and record
the conditions of major exterior components (rOof, siding, window/doors, foundation, and
electrical system if visible). The results of the survey will be reported by street address, type of
dwelling unit, and level of rehabilitation needed. Appendix A contains a sample housing
conditions survey form.
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT REPORT
The Housing Needs Assessment Report will address the requirements of state law and key local
issues relating to:
· population/household characteristics
· housing characteristics
· housing cost
· housing cost in relation to income
· special housing needs
· employment trends/housing impact
· vacant land
· residential energy conservation
1.2 SITE AVAILABILITY ASSESSMENT
Parsons will use data provided by the City, the current Housin~ Element, and development
records since 1991 as the baseline data from which to estimate the City's residential development
capacity and the number of sites that can accommodate housing. Parsons will compare City
development permit records with the previous vacant/redevelopment land survey to identify sites
that are no longer vacant or are under-utilized due to, development activity. In consultation with'
the City, Parsons will identify under-used sites, particularly in and adjacent to the City's
commercial areas that have potential for higher density residential uses or residential/commercial
mixed use. Parsons will conduct a field check of these sites and provide a map showing the
locations and suitability.
Parsons will identify the approximate acreage, by zoning category and permitted density,
availability of facilities and services, and environmental constraints (if any) to determine whether
the City can accommodate its RHND allocation for each income group. Parsons assumes that the
City will provide information on acreages of vacant land by zoning category, or that this
information can be provided by the County Assessor. This proposaI does not include a planning-
level survey to measure and calculate the acreage of vacant land by zoning category. Parsons can
provide such a survey as an optional task, if requested by the City.
1.3 CONSTRAINTS TO HOUSING
GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Parsons will review information in the current Housing Element on zoning and other local
regulatory requirements that could substantially affect the City's ability to facilitate, and the
Scope of Work
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
building industry's ability to supply, housing for all income groups. Based on an analysis of
current zoning, subdivision, and other development ordinances, and discussions with City staff,
Parsons will update the evaluation of governmental constraints arising from the application of
these ordinances.
The governmental constraints analysis will include:
an evaluation of local building requirements and how they may affect housing cost and
availability;
the permit process, including development and permit fees and timelines (Parsons will
provide summary tables showing typical permit process times and costs); and
other local regulations, standards, or governmental practices that affect the construction,
conservation, or rehabilitation of housing.
This evaluation will include the City's unique requirements under the Residential Development
Control Systems process and design review procedures for residential development. Parsons
does not expect that its evaluation of City policies and regulations will result in findings
substantially different from those in the current Housing Element. Parsons will also evaluate
regulations that will apply to areas yet to be developed if specific plans, development
agreements, or other additional requirements will apply to these areas.
NON-GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Parsons will update the analysis off
financing costs and availability, how these affect affordability, and whether there are local
financing constraints;
land costs;
construction costs, and any specific local conditions affecting those costs; and
environmental factors that constrain the home-building industry in meeting the City's
housing needs.
1.4 SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS
Parsons will describe the characteristics and estimate the nUmber of individuals and families with
special needs that might not ordinarily be met by the private market without specific
governmental action. The analysis will focus on those issues that make these groups' needs
unique, the type of unmet need (financial, physical, space-related, etc.), and community
resources available to meet those needs. Special needs categories that Parsons will examine
include:
seniors
· individuals with disabilities
· female-headed households
· homeless and persons/families in need of transitional housing
· low-income families, especially large families
Scope of Work
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
first-time homebuyers
farmworkers (not likely to be an issue in Dublin)
other low- or very low-income population groups with special needs
HOMELESS/TRANSITIONAL FACILITIES
Dublin may not have a sizeable homeless population or an immediate need for homeless or
transitional housing facilities. Nevertheless, the Housing Element must contain a discussion of
appropriate areas of the community in which such facilities might be located, if needed. Parsons
will identify the zoning categories in which such uses are allowed and potential areas within
those zones that are appropriate for homeless and transitional housing facilities.
1.5 PRESERVATION OF ASSISTED UNITS (AT-RISK RENTAL HOUSING )
A preliminary search of federal records shows one Section 8 funded rental housing development
in Dublin (The Springs) containing 36 assisted units of 176 total units. Parsons will conducLa.
records search of local, state, and federal housing developments to determine if there are
additional assisted rental housing developments that should be identified and ensure that the
inventory of "at-risk" housing is accurate. Parsons will update the inventory showing the number
of dwelling units by income level, senior versus non-senior units, the bedroom mix, subsidy type,
project location, owner, earliest possible date of conversion, and year constructed.
If any at-risk rental housing developments are identified (developments that could convert to
market-rate housing within the next ten years), Parsons will prepare an analysis of the cost of
acquiring (and rehabilitating, if necessary) or replacing the at-risk units, or providing rental
subsidies for low-income households that may be displaced by conversion of assisted rental units
to market-rate units. Finally, Parsons wilI update the list of non-profit organizations operating in
the region that could potentially acquire and/or manage at-risk rental projects to maintain their
long-term affordability.
TASK 2: PREPARATION OF THE HOUSING ELEMENT
2.1 EVALUATION OF THE CURRENT HOUSING ELEMENT
Parsons will provide:' I) a program-by-program analysis of achievements, and 2) a performance
evaluation based on the quantifiable objectives in the current Housing Element. The report will
indicate the housing type and population group affected by each existing program, the targeted
income level, and the number of housing units constructed, rehabilitated, subsidized, or
otherwise affected. This report wilt also identify factors affecting the City's achievements
(positively or negatively), and whether changes in policies and programs can overcome
constraints, to the City's achievement of its new Housing Element objectives. Based on the
evaluation, Parsons will recommend modifications to programs, if appropriate, and will address
prior performance issues and future needs.
2.2 ESTABLISH GOALS~ POLIClES~ AND QUANTIFIED OBJECTIVES
Parsons anticipates the City will utilize 'the programs outlined in the Affordable Housing
Implementation Plan that was adopted by the City Council on February 6, 2001 as a starting
Scope of Work
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
point. In addition, based on the conclusions from the Housing Needs Assessment (Task I) and
Program Evaluation (Task 2.1), Parsons may recommend modifications to current goals, policies,
and programs in the Affordable Housing Implementation Plan to better reflect City resources, a
realistic level of effort, past performance issues, and state law requirements to show how the City
can accommodate its regional share of low- and moderate-income housing.
Parsons will also recommend an updated quantified objectives table that shows, by income level,
the City's objectives for accommodating its housing allocation, new construction, rehabilitation,
and the preservation of at-risk rental housing units. The quantified objectives will consider
funding and staffing resources available to the City over the next five years, as well as past and
projected trends in housing construction.
2.3 ESTABLISH HOUSING PROGRAMS
Parsons will use the City's existing Affordable Housing Implementation Plan as the basis for the
program section of the updated Housing Element. However, Parsons may recommend changes to
specific programs based on new information in the technical background report, and findings
from the evaluation of achievement under the current Housing Element.
Parsons will focus on programs that address the City's housing allocation and current unmet
needs within the context of limited land, resources, and other constraints. Each program in the
updated Housing Element will contain a clear statement of the proposed action, the expected results
(time-oriented and quantified when possible), the responsible agency for implementation, and the
anticipated funding source.
Parsons' recommendations for programs and program modifications will focus on voluntary,
regulatory, and incentive actions the City can undertake to promote affordable housing while
maintaining community character. Considerations will consist of inclusionary housing requirements,
in-lieu housing fees, mixed-use strategies, second units, transit-oriented developments (to reduce
vehicle miles traveled), and higher density housing design in keeping with the character of the City. In
particular, Parsons will review the AHIP recommendations to ensure that:
1.. Sufficient land and other strategies are incorporated to address the City's RHND.
2. Programs are included to address governmental constraints identified in the Housing
Element.
3. The programs proposed in the AHIP match the needs identified in the Housing Element,
particularly .those considered to be of highest priority.
4. Preservation of existing low-income rental housing is adequately addresses.
5. Special housing needs are adequately addressed, including homeless and transitional
housing needs.
6. Programs for equal housing opportunities are included.
Parsons will prepare an updated quantified objectives table with recommended numbers for
housing preservation, conservation, and new construction for each of the four income categories
(Very Low, Low, Moderate, and' Above Moderate).
Scope of Work
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
Parsons will also identify local, state, federal, and private financial resources that the City might
use to meet the identified housing needs and to implement recommended housing programs.
2.4 REVIEW FOR INTERNAL GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
Parsons will determine whether any changes to the Housing Element will require corresponding
changes to other General Plan elements. If so, Parsons will identify the policies or programs of
each element to be revised and will provide recommended text for the revisions. A summary of
findings regarding General Plan consistency will be included in the Housing Element.
2.5 STATE HCD REVIEW
Parsons' approach to state review will be proactive rather than reactive. At the City's option,
Parsons will arrange a meeting with the. HCD staff reviewer at the City, including a City tour so
the reviewer can see local conditions and constraints first hand. The purpose of this meeting is to
provide the HCD reviewer with direct knowledge of housing issues, constraints, and resources.
POST-REVIEW CONTACT WITH HCD
If necessary, Parsons will meet following the receipt of the Department's comments to clarify
any issues and possible responses that could address the Department's concerns. Parsons'
objective is to ensure that all potential issues have been identified and resolved'. By following
this approach, Parsons can reduce the likelihood that substantial changes will have to be made to
the Draft Housing Element as a result of state review.
SUMMARIZE HCD COMMENTS
Parsons will prepare a summary of HCD's comments, noting the applicable sections of the
Housing Element and potential modifications to address those comments. If requested by the
City, Parsons will contact HCD to discuss the potential modifications and how they will address
HCD' s concerns.
If favorable HCD review of the Housing Element is not achieved, Parsons will provide written
findings for City staff review and submission to the City Council for adoption with the Housing
Element.
2.6 COPIES OF DRAFT AND FINAL DOCUMENTS
Parsons will provide an electronic version of each deliverable in MS Word format and PDF
format suitable for electronic distribution and publishing on the City's web site. Parsons will
also provide a reprodUcible original.
TASK 3: CEQA COMPLIANCE (INITIAL STUDY/NEG. DEC.)
3.1 SCOPE ISSUES
Parsons will meet with City staff to discuss an approach to the Initial Study/Negative Declaration
(IS/ND) format, content, and responses to comments. This will coincide with the completion of the
Scope of Work ?, (, o~e to
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
Screen Check Draft Housing Element so that Parsons can present any issues that may need resolution
prior to the environmental evaluation.
3.2 PREPARE DRAFT IS/ND
Parsons will prepare a Draft IS/ND using the most current Environmental Checklist Form in Appendix
G of the CEQA Guidelines. The IS/ND will consist of a project description, CEQA Environmental
Checklist, discussion of environmental issues, and references. The project description will summarize
the proposed Housing Element amendments, areas of the City affected by specific programs that may
have significant impacts, and will include general location maps showing the areas of the City affected
by those proposed programs.
The IS/ND will include a brief discussion of each issue item in the Environmental Checklist, with
more thorough analysis given to those items that could result in potentially significant impacts.
Parsons will also identify general and specific mitigation measures that are required to reduce adverse
impacts to less-than-significant levels.
The Housing Element's confOrmity with the other elements of the General Plan will be included in the
analysis. If mitigation measures are required to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level, they
will be identified as such and incorporated into the description of the proposed project.
The intent of the Housing Element update is to meet the most current requirements of state law, update
quantified objectives for housing, and revise policies and programs to achieve those new objectives.
Parsons assumes that the Housing Element update will not require changes in land use or other
General Plan policies that would resuk in significant impacts that could not be mitigated to a less-than-
significant level.
The budget for the IS/ND assumes that Parsons can use data from readily available sources (General
Plan, General Plan EIR, other EIRs, previous technical studies, etc.) and will not perform independent
field investigations or field data collection.
3.3 PREPARE REVISED DRAFT IS/ND
Parsons will revise the IS/ND based on City staff comments and submit the revised document to
City staff for public circulation. The City will be responsible for circulating the IS/ND.
3.4 PREPARE FINAL IS/ND
After the 30-day public review period has expired, Parsons will prepare a Final IS/ND
incorporating public and agency comments. The final environmental document will be submitted
concurrently with the Final Housing Element.
TASK 4: PUBLIC PARTICIPATION & STAFF COORDINATION
Parsons will support City staff in coordinating and implementing a public participation process
that includes two public workshops and four public hearings (two before the Planning
Commission and two before the City Council) as described in Section 1 of this proposal. Parsons
will prepare presentation materials for the workshops and provide facilitation/moderation if
requested by the City.
Scope of Work
City of Dublin Housing Element Update
4.1 PUBLIC WORKSHOPS
Parsons proposes a public workshop early in the process to serve as an educational/issues
scoping session. Parsons will explain state law requirements, discuss the purpose and contents of
the Housing Element, and provide preliminary findings from the Housing Needs Assessment.
Participants will be solicited for suggestions on key issues and concerns on which to focus the
update. Parsons will prepare presentation materials in a suitable format for visual display and
handouts. At .the City's request, Parsons will also serve as the facilitator/moderator of the
workshop.
A second public workshop is proposed after the completion of the Housing Needs Assessment
Report. The purpose of this workshop will be to present findings and conclusions from the
report, implications for change in housing policies and programs, and to solicit input from the
public on policy and program options or changes that they would like to have included in the
updated Housing Element.
4.2 PUBLIC HEARINGS
Parsons will attend two public hearings on the Draft Housing Element and two public hearings
on the Final Housing Element (subsequent to HCD review). Parsons will prepare presentation
materials for these hearings suitable for visual display and handouts.
4.3 STAFF MEETINGS
Parsons will meet with City staff to coordinate project management, discuss substantive data and
policy issues, review comments on .documents, and manage the citizen participation process.
Parsons assumes that five meetings with City staff will be sufficient for project coordination.
