The units are counted toward the remaining 2006 -2014 RHEA. 4, These projects are in the development pipeline and are pending entitlements, Affordable units are counted toward the remaining 2006 -2014 RHNA. 8, While these projects were IdentiFled in the 2006 -2014 Housing Element, they are expected to be constructed in 2014 -2021 plan hill period. Carrying over the remaining 201 units required under the 2006 -2014 RHNA, Table 3 reflects the total number of housing units needed to achieve both the 2006 -2014 and 20142021 RHNA requirements. The table also categorizes the remaining housing unit need based on affordability level. The proposed project would need to accommodate a combined RHNA of 405 units to meet the 2014 -2021 RHNA goals. Table 3 Regional Housing Needs Allocation 2014 -2021 Source , SCAG 2012, Note: Household goals based on 2010 Census County Median Family Income ($83,735). Available Land for Housing The 2014 -2021 Housing Element Update must identify available sites in the City that can accommodate the remaining RFINA (405 units). The first step in identifying adequate sites is preparing an inventory of land suitable for residential development that includes vacant and underutilized land. The assessment, as described in the proposed Housing Element, has identified the Metro East area, the Harbor Corridor Specific Plan, transit corridors along First Street and Fifth Street, and Transit Zoning Code (TZC) areas as areas that could accommodate RHNA required housing. These areas can be seen in Figure 4, Development Focus Arear in Santa Ana. Table 4 identifies the menu of development areas that the City has determined would be more than sufficient to accommodate the remaining RHNA allocation. The ultimate residential capacity of these areas is much larger than the remaining RHNA. However, to be conservative, the City only projects a portion of the development potential for the 2014 -2021 planning period. Additionally, the units in Table 4 are in addition to the number of units shown in Table 2 that accommodate the 2006 -2014 carryover.
