After SCAG reshuffled the allocations in a dramatic adjustment Nov. 7, Newport’s share climbed about 75% over minimums announced in October. Costa Mesa’s share more than doubled. Fountain Valley’s more than tripled. Same in Huntington Beach.
But Laguna Beach City Manager John Pietig said in November that he was “very concerned about this shift of housing units to coastal cities.” SCAG said in a statement that “we have a set process to follow, and these numbers are far from final. The California Department of Housing and Community Development is still reviewing, and things will move forward once they give their approval. After the adoption of the final RHNA allocation methodology, the draft RHNA allocation will be released. This will most likely occur in February. SCAG will let stakeholders know when the draft RHNA allocation is distributed.
“The modified RHNA allocation methodology, as well as the manner in which it was approved by the SCAG Regional Council, undermine the integrity of what is mandated to be a collaborative RHNA process,” the resolution states.
