DESIGNED BY

HELP SAVE MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT WITH DUAL-ENERGY DESIGN California is a global leader in the effort to reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that affect our climate.

Renewable natural gas (RNG) can play a key role in helping to achieve the state’s GHG emissions reductions goals.

RNG is made by capturing methane from organic sources like dairy farms, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants and processing it for everyday use just like traditional natural gas.

Since methane is twenty-five times more potent than carbon dioxide as a GHG1, capturing the methane and using it as a source of energy is significantly better than letting it escape into the atmosphere.

In fact, a 2018 study by Navigant Consulting showed that replacing 20 percent of the natural gas supply with RNG would accomplish the same level of GHG emissions reductions as converting all new and existing buildings to electric-only energy.2 SoCalGas has a goal of providing RNG to 20 percent of our core natural gas supply by 2030.

For today’s builder, that means constructing next-generation new homes with dual-energy design can both appeal to customer preferences for natural gas appliances and be a part of California’s GHG reduction strategy.

Plus, rebates and incentives are available now to builders of new single-family and multi-family homes who equip their projects with qualifying energy-efficient natural gas appliances and controller devices through the Energy Efficient New Homes Program.

Dave’s Top Ten Solutions

FOR ATTAINABLE HOUSING Dave Bartlett

2022 BIASC Chairman VP, Land Entitlement, Land & Housing Development, Brookfield Residential

10. Increase Supply 9. Stop Conflicting Policies 8. Reduce Time from Entitlements to Building Permit 7. Engage Community 6. Think Outside the (product) Box 5. Density…as Appropriate 4. Think Mixed-Use 3. Do A Better Job Promoting Housing 2. CEQA Exemption for Refill Projects 1. Increase Supply At PCBC on June 22, I spoke on a panel with Jay Bullock, VicePresident for Rancho Mission Viejo Company moderated by the Director of Planning for JZMK Architects, John Leehey. The topic was Solutions for Attainable Housing.

So in the spirit of the Late Show and Dave’s Top Ten, I’ve produced my own list and will be discussing this in more detail at the conference. As noted, Supply is on the list twice because it’s so dang important, and I’ll discuss that here.

Supply has to be increased across the housing spectrum. First-time buyer…move-up, second and third-time move-up buyer, rental, affordable, assisted units…you name it…housing spanning the entire spectrum needs to be prioritized and produced…full stop.

Every decision that state and local agencies make should be viewed from this lens: Does this decision, policy, or legislation help produce attainable housing, or does it hurt the potential delivery of attainable housing? This should be the lens. It’s pretty simple.

And, with RHNA at 2.6 million housing units as the target in California over the next eight-year cycle, how about we join forces with the State, our local governments, our regional planning agencies and make this a priority…because housing is the number one crisis in the state of California outside of the pandemic and drought.

Southern California

BUILDER |

April 2022

If we can produce what is required under RHNA, this would equate to 325,000 units per year. Now, the State of California has never made that target. For the last ten years, we’ve been limping along at 90,000 - 150,000 permits per year.

We have a chance at making significant strides toward the RHNA target, but we need to look at policies, legislation, and decisions through the attainable housing lens. But is this happening?

Since 2019, when Governor Newsom signed twenty-five pieces of new legislation to increase housing production, what he said at that time, which he later characterized as aspirational, was “that the state of California needs to produce 3.5 million new housing units by 2025.” But the point was being made by the CEO of the State of California that housing was clearly recognized as a crisis.

There were several bills passed into law designed to produce, encourage and create new housing opportunities. Yet since that time, the legislature has continuously introduced new bills that have been labeled as “housing killer bills” by the California Building Industry Association. What is going on here? Do we really think eliminating single-family zoning and adding ADUs is the solution?

Also, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), our regional planning organization, is trying to layer on hundreds of environmental data sets through Greenprint that will create more confusion for local agencies and opportunities for litigation against housing. The State says, “produce more homes,” SCAG says, “let’s create more hurdles to production.”

AB 2840 is another example. Passed by the Assembly with the minimum vote required, it’s labeled as both a “job killer” and “housing killer” bill. Let’s hope the Senate votes on the side of jobs and housing. These are just two examples of many of the conflicting policies we are seeing today.

All we need to do is look through the attainable housing lens and ask some simple questions. I ask that we start doing this together. 

BI A S C Letter from the Editor:

Surviving the Storm & Enjoying the Cruise In retrospect, it is more than a little ironic that BIASC’s new activism program educating members on the threats the building industry faces is named “The Perfect Storm,” considering that a lack of enough storms brings back an old, longstanding threat to our industry: Drought.

Our region is now in the third year of extreme drought, capping off a 22-year period that has been the driest in the American Southwest in 1,200 years, according to the head of Metropolitan Water District’s Resource Management Group, Brad Coffey (see page 31). Conditions on the State Water Project, which brings water to us from Northern California, have deteriorated so greatly that in May, Metropolitan Water District imposed a mandatory 30 percent cutback on water use for dozens of local water agencies in Los Angeles and Ventura counties that are dependent on that water. The State Water Resources Board followed up this month with a statewide mandatory 20 percent cutback.

As is so typical in California, just as our worries of possible drought-fueled building moratoria are on the rise, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) want us to find a way to build the 1.3 million new housing units by 2028, even as this returning and alarming contributor to the Perfect Storm of regulations adds to the difficulty of building even one home.

One of those regulations, governing stormwater runoff from construction sites, currently predicts an excess of rain falling – while the entire state worries about not enough rain falling!

That’s why this issue of Southern California Builder focuses on the drought, water supply, and homebuilding. If you’ve attended a public hearing on a housing project during a dry year, you have no doubt heard irate people ask why new homes should be approved if they’re being told to cut back on their water use.

Builders and developers are certainly hearing that this year, and the Inside Edition on water that starts on page 17 gives the answer to this issue– and it’s an answer people familiar with our industry won’t find surprising: The homebuilding industry

is not making the effects of droughts worse; in fact, it’s driving solutions to drought and has been for decades.

I hope you take the time to read the Inside Edition on water carefully, as it is overflowing – pardon the pun – with interesting and useful information.

Meanwhile, there’s certainly no drought on fun at BIASC. When it comes to having a good time, our members are certainly getting a healthy return on their BIASC investment.

Get ready to rock the night away at our exclusive private event at the House of Blues Anaheim with Red Rocker, Sammy Hagar coming up September 14-15 at the Building Industry Show.

One month later, BIASC will host a political rock star, former President George W. Bush. Stay tuned for more details coming soon.

For football fans, we are excited to introduce Game On, LA, our BIASC outing to the USC/UCLA football game in November and our association’s float in the Rose Bowl Parade in January 2023. If you’ve ever wanted to glue flower petals to something, watch for announcements later this year! We haven’t forgotten baseball fans, with upcoming BIASC events at Dodgers and Angels games alike. Golfers, skeet-shooters, and softball players also will find their spot on BIASC’s busy events calendar, alongside our annual installation dinners and additional chapter events.

And lest we forget what the focus of this issue of Southern California Builder is about, we invite you to attend our Southern California Water Conference on August 12th hosted by the Baldy View Chapter.

Adel Hagekhalil

General Manager, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California

For more than a generation, Southern California has employed a tried and true playbook to prepare for droughts: Store water when it is wet – largely in snowpack – and use those reserves when it is dry.

For decades, this worked well because of billions of dollars in investments to increase our ability to move and store water.

Yet that playbook is quickly changing. All our water resources are challenged due to record heat and drought.

Water reserves that are now sustaining our region’s economy may be the most precious supply in our history. Replacing it is becoming much harder.

We need to add some new chapters to the playbook: Prepare for less imported water and local groundwater due to climate change. Conserve more. Develop more local supplies. Replace diminishing snowpack storage with surface and groundwater storage. Fit all these pieces together to help ensure we have the water we need.

Southern California

BUILDER |

April 2022

One way to think of this approach is “One Water.” It recognizes there is one precious resource that comes through our taps from many sources. We are in this together, both to sustain our communities and our rivers that face unprecedented stress.

The solutions reside with different constituencies and agencies in Southern California and across the West, in states that share water resources and their challenges. There’s no doubt that Southern California will always need imported water.

Inside Edition: WATER

Introduction:

But we must do more. We must expand local and drought resistant supplies by integrating smart water management into our infrastructure and building new projects. We need to embrace innovation and accelerate recycled water projects at a pace and scale to meet our needs. And we need investments from the state and federal government to make this all happen.

The homebuilding industry recognizes the importance of water supply reliability, as evidenced by this special Inside Edition of Southern California Builder on the drought. There is much to be done and together, we can plan for a resilient future that continues to support our region’s economy and communities. 

Seventy years ago, when Southern California’s post-World War II homebuilding boom was just gaining steam, Tejon Ranch was thinking about water for houses. That might seem incongruous because the sprawling 270,000-acre ranch – the largest private landholding in California – spans the Los Angeles and Kern county lines, hours away from where new subdivisions were springing up. But it pays to plan ahead.

In the 1950s, Tejon joined other large Central Valley landowners to push for the State Water Project, which would move water from northern California to Central Valley fields and Southern California urban centers. Then, when construction started in the 1960s, Tejon agreed to provide a 30-mile-long easement over its land for the project’s pipelines in return for turnouts from which it can access the project’s water. On top of that, years later the ranch began purchasing water and storing it in the Kern Water Bank, and for extra security, they started their own Tejon Water Bank.

By 2020, Tejon owned rights to nearly 150,000 acre-feet of banked water (a single household uses about a half an acre foot of water annually), in addition to its access to water from the State Water Project and other sources. And that doesn’t count water stored in reservoirs they built to capture snowmelt and runoff from the Tehachapi Mountains.

Having foresight and thinking big about water paid off because today Tejon has enough water to supply The Outlets at Tejon, the 20 million square-foot Tejon Ranch Commerce Center and the 35,000 homes it is planning in the residential communities of Centennial, Mountain Village and Grapevine. Additionally, Tejon will implement every water conservation measure it can to reduce its water budget.

“We were very, very successful with our water supply assessments because we went beyond the requirements of the Kuehl-Costa legislation (SB 221 and SB 610 from 2001), which required proof of a 20-year water supply up front,” said Barry Zoeller, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications

for Tejon. “We went further because the politics of water in California really requires that you have enough water for the full build-out of the project, especially if the full build-out is beyond a 20-year timeframe.”

Extreme Water Droughts, Storms and Homebuilding

Ah yes, the strange, extreme politics of water in California.

Consider this: The staff at the State Water Resources Control Board is so worried about too much rain causing runoff from construction sites that this month they are set to approve regulations demanding such high levels of treatment of stormwater leaving construction sites that the only guarantee of avoiding fines for violations would be to not build during the six months when we might get rain – or might not. Yet that very same state agency just decreed a mandatory 20 percent statewide reduction in water use because California isn’t getting enough rain.

“To comply with this proposed permit, you have to have zero discharge – it’s essentially a ban on water leaving a construction site,” said Dr. Mark Grey, BIASC’s Director of Environmental Affairs. “The state tries to say there are treatment options, but those options don’t work in the real world. So, this is an allegory for California, water and homebuilding – you can’t build if there’s too much rain, and people don’t want you to build because there’s not enough rain.”

That second point – the threat of building moratoria because of drought conditions –has Grey worried. “In each drought cycle we get the same question from residents and city councils: How can new homes be approved when we’re in a drought?” he said. “Working with the National Association of Home Builders, the California Homebuilding Foundation, CBIA and BIASC, I am working to prove the narrative that we in housing have been answering this question since the 1970s, working with the water agencies to have a diverse supply so they can use that in their planning cycles. Because we’ve had this amazing foresight, the building industry is a problem solver, not a problem maker.”

John Schatz agrees. He is a water attorney who was General Manager of Santa Margarita Water District when its South Orange County service area, which is 100 percent dependent on imported water, faced drought as rapid growth was underway in Rancho Santa Margarita, Las Flores, Talega and other master-planned communities.

“If you look at Metropolitan’s supply, they are in good shape largely because demand has gone down, fostered and enabled through conservation,” he said. “That means the folks who are saving the water are living next to the new homes that are being built, and they’re complaining. But the truth is, regardless of when the homes were built, the water conservation standards are uniform so you’re not taking water away from them, you’re just utilizing this whole, available

water source efficiently. To say we have to go out and get a new supply for every home ignores the fact that there’s water available because we’ve become so much better at reducing demand.”

As drought is once again triggering talk of water moratoria, Southern California’s planning agency, SCAG, is laying the groundwork for 1.3 million new homes to be built in the region by 2029. All those faucets, showers, toilets, washing machines and landscaping will require a lot of water, even with the latest water efficiency tech.

Everyone I talked to about meeting the RHNA challenge – Metropolitan Water District’s water resource manager, Eastern Municipal Water District’s planning and engineering chief, Dr. Grey, Schatz and others – says the water will be there, thanks in part to the building industry. As the industry’s members pursue positive water supply assessments and research new ways to attain net zero water use, they will continue their long tradition of being valued partners in bringing water supply solutions to Southern California. 

Inside Edition: WATER

Grey’s research shows that between 1975 and 2013, the last year for which there are statistics, homebuilders reduced the amount of water used inside a home by 50 percent – and conservation has been steadily accelerating. In the 15 years between 1975 and 1990, builders cut indoor water use by 19 percent, and in the four years between 2009 and 2013, homes became 21 percent more water efficient. “When we finish bringing these numbers up to date, it will show emphatically that homebuilding is a positive force and we have earned the approvals we receive,” Grey said.

Executive Director of the Southern California Water Coalition

Mother Nature has not been easy on Californians lately. As if wildfires, drought and floods weren’t enough, climate change science tells us it may only get worse. With the possible exception of legislation proposed in response to wildfires, drought-caused declines in water supply reliability have the greatest potential to impact homebuilding across a broad swath of Southern California – just look to northern Los Angeles and Ventura counties, which are under 30 percent mandatory water cutbacks.

including the BIA. They come from eight Southern California counties from Kern County to the North all the way to the Mexican border and out to the state line and include leaders from business, city and county government, agricultural groups, labor unions, environmental organizations, water agencies, as well as the general public.

Still, with water flowing freely from most of our taps, it is sometimes hard to feel like this drought is severe. But it definitely is. To find out more about this drought’s severity, how homebuilding might be affected, and the long-term forecasts for the region’s water supply, Southern California Builder talked with Charley Wilson, Executive Director of the Southern California Water Coalition, the region’s most powerful voice on regional water issues.

CW: It is that homebuilders in California are no strangers to drought – in fact, they are one of the driving factors in finding ways to secure greater water supply resiliency. In recent years, they have had to contend with water restrictions and mandatory conservation measures. As a result, many builders have implemented innovative drought-resistant technologies and strategies, and have worked with their water providers on ways to better plan for future growth to help ensure adequate supplies. However, the state’s ongoing and severe drought has brought new challenges, so it’s not time to let up on these efforts.

Southern California Builder: Tell us first about the Coalition’s members and its focus.

Charley Wilson: The Southern California Water Coalition was established through the leadership of an Orange County supervisor in 1984 following a failed state-wide ballot initiative on the peripheral canal. The Coalition is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public education partnership dedicated to informing Southern Californians about our water needs and our state’s water resources. We recognize the rich diversity of Southern California’s people and cultures and see clearly how we are all connected by the need for a safe, affordable and reliable water supply. We believe that working with and learning from a broad range of people helps us address California water issues more creatively.

For decades, our coalition has brought together people from all over the region and from many different interest groups for productive dialogue and consensus-based solutions. Today, SCWC counts more than 200 organizations as members,

Q&A with

SCB: Before getting into details, what one thing would you like most to say to the homebuilding community?

SCB: As you work on securing the reliability we need, what are your priorities?

CW: With the election of Gavin Newsome, we pivoted with him from a focus only on reliability to one on ultimate resiliency. What resiliency involves is building the redundant systems that match with water use efficiency to provide the state with a long-term resilient water supply so that no matter what may happen over the course of time and with climate change, you have the available water resources for your population, the environment, business, and industry.

We began our organization’s history with the premise that you have to modernize the state’s water infrastructure.

That means we’re tracking very closely what’s happening in the Sacramento Delta with the State Water Project, along

25

Inside Edition: WATER

with the challenges along the Colorado River. There is an absolute necessity that the imported water delivery system be modernized to address the new climate realities we all face. We’ve gone from the peripheral canal in 1984, then two tunnels and now, under Gov. Newsom, a single tunnel. If you read all the environmental and climate change documents, it is irrefutable that the Sacramento Delta is salting out. Sea level rise will salt out 30 percent of our drinking water for Southern California if we do nothing. That system has to be fixed. To go with that, we know that we need an “all of the above” approach to water resiliency that includes water use efficiency, conservation, recycling, stormwater capture, desalination and new water supply development all being critical.

SCB: Is there any evidence that opponents of water infrastructure are moderating as we look to more frequent, more severe droughts, or are they doubling down?

CW: Most of what I see is that no matter who comes to the table, they seem to come with a predisposition for a silver bullet, that their solution will solve our problem. No single issue, no single project is going to solve it; it’s really all of the above. Looking at the history of the energy and oil industries, we used to be really good at extracting, using and then dumping. Clearly, that’s not the case now – it’s how do you use the whole value stream of a resource; that’s just good stewardship.

Having said that, we are now in the third very dry year of the current drought and we’re finding that people are getting less and less cooperative. It’s the opposite of what you would expect or what’s needed. While we talk about the importance of balanced approaches, there are those who come to the table with old, war-like, my way or the highway attitudes, and that’s not very conducive to solving vexing public problems. When we get an earthquake that’s bad enough, then the state will absolutely move to address the crisis. Well, it’s bad enough now, and it’s very frustrating that things like investment in water infrastructure are very long term, taking 10, 15 or 20 years to plan, get approvals and eventual construct. Right now the political attention span is not long-game oriented; it’s all short-term and immediate gratification.

happening is that the heavy emphasis on reducing water flows inside the home is also reducing the water that runs to the sanitation districts, which is the source water for the recycled water that’s supposed to be such a big piece of the future.

The heavier focus is, and needs to continue to me, on outdoor landscape – that will not mean the traditional green lawn and water-intensive plants, but native California-friendly plants and shade trees.

So yes, there’s water if we use it efficiently. As we bring new water supply projects on, like the Carson recycling project in LA and stormwater recapture and reuse, that’s going to have a significant impact. I’m also finding some new allies in the energy sector, because as our lake levels drop, hydroelectric power, which is our cheapest and most renewable source of electricity, falls off so you are seeing stressors there as well. If you don’t have water, you don’t have energy, and then how will we provide that skeletal backbone of infrastructure that’s required so you can build all the housing units and environmentally balanced communities you’re being asked by the state to build and are desperately needed?

SCB: Are the state and the feds ready to provide significant funding?

CW: I would tell you that there are unprecedented revenues in the Sacramento and Washington workstreams today that present the opportunity to make significant investment in public infrastructure, We are working closely with a statewide coalition that includes the Bay Area Council and the San Joaquin Valley Water Blueprint, along with other major players like the state water contractors and other prominent business and industry groups, to urge the governor and the legislature to spend $6.5 billion out of their nearly $100 billion surplus on specific, long-term water related infrastructure. We see this

SCB: Do we have enough water to cover the growth that’s projected?

CW: The water is there and our history with water says will be there. We’ve doubled the population in Southern California and we’re using the same amount of water we did 20 or 30 years ago. It’s about how you use it, about water use efficiency. A lot of that has fallen on the back of new housing construction because that’s where you have the best opportunity to put in the low flow devices, the recycled water, and the other new technologies. In fact, the shift that I see

as an opportunity to make a significant investment toward true resiliency. Your readers should know that we’re not getting a lot of traction. It is hard to get past the current crisis and get to investing in the future.

SCB: One national builder just bought a private water company that owns many independent providers. That’s a very creative approach – do you see more of that sort of long-term thinking?

CW: I spent nearly 30 years in the electric utility business, and what I’m seeing is that water in California is 10, maybe 15, years behind in terms of its transformation. The homebuilding industry has the opportunity to shape this transformation if it has the long view because you’re going to see really significant shifts in how we deliver, what we develop, how people contract for water. A lot of it is going to be driven by new technology, like everything else we’re going through – with data management, new technical tools for cleaning and desalinating water. The challenge will be how we meet the state’s adoption of a human right to water, while getting the cost down to make it affordable. As an example, there are even people talking about onsite water recycling for housing units. Some homebuilders are already testing the efficiency and affordability of that.

The other transformation I’ve seen is that we used to – and some still do – gear up for an “us vs. them” fight, environmentalists vs. developers, and I’m seeing less of that.

You still have your hardcore extremes, the “No, never” folks, but in the middle there’s a recognition of the environment that we want the new community to be developed into, and that you can’t achieve that unless you come together and take care of both sides of the equation. Also, it’s becoming evident that you can’t achieve the inventive, big net zero goals that tip the needle very well in small infill projects. It almost has to be large scale, so it still falls in the hands of the landowners. But that’s a tremendous opportunity – it can be quite something.

What are the top 10 things to do when selling your community? #1 Call us We’ll handle the other 9.

SCB: What should people in the development and homebuilding industry be doing now to help address these challenges?

CW: The best advice I can give you is to engage early and often to be a part of the solution. Do not wait for government to drag you to the table through new regulations or a moratorium. You have the expertise and the wherewithal to help drive commonsense solutions with the beautiful, efficient communities you are building. A robust public infrastructure system is the skeletal backbone on which all community development depends. It just makes sense for you to help drive policy to assure that is in place for California’s future. 

Brad Coffey Probably no one thinks more about how Southern California will get the water it needs over the long term than Brad Coffey. As the manager of Metropolitan Water District’s Water Resource Management Group, he and his team are responsible for forecasting future water demand and planning how to meet it. As tough as that job is, he told Southern California Builder he thinks his job is easier than the job builders will have meeting housing demand!

Southern California Builder: Please explain to our readers what’s involved in your job as MWD’s water resource manager.

Brad Coffey: Our water resource group does four main things: We plan for the region’s long-term water supply needs, we manage our imported and local water supply programs, we advance conservation, and we prepare for droughts and a changing climate. About $800 million comes through our department a year for these activities.

We work with our engineering planning department on where the demand nodes might be and where the supply constraints might be, but when it comes to whether the pipe should go to the right or to the left, that’s for others.

SCB: The fastest growth areas are more arid, like the Inland Empire. Do you consider an area’s growth when projecting demand?

Examples of this would be long-term planning for a pipeline going into northern San Diego County or Riverside County, which will serve several of our member agencies. Our member agencies themselves are responsible for moving water withing their boundaries but we would bring it either through or to their boundaries.

SCB: How does the current drought situation rank relative to previous droughts?

BC: If you look at a broad landscape scale in the southwestern U.S., the recent research from UCLA has shown that this is the worst drought for that region in about 1,200 years. They were able to go back so far by looking at tree rings, including fossilized tree rings, across the region to measure soil moisture deficits based on how closely or spaced apart the rings are. They have been able to see that from 2000 to now, it’s been the driest 22-year period since the year 800.

SCB: Climate change, global weather patterns like El Niño and regulatory restrictions all cause water shortages. How would you allocate blame for the current drought among these three causes?

SCB: MWD’s traditional role as an importer of water from Northern California and the Colorado River has changed. Can you explain the different water sources MWD relies on today to meet demand?

BC: During the 1987 to 1992 drought, we recognized that meeting demand for the region by increasing our supply from Northern California and the Colorado River just was not possible, so we developed our first Integrated Water Resources Plan. That plan took a portfolio approach to water management, establishing that the water needs of the next person that moved to Southern California, the next dollar of economic activity in Southern California, will need to be met by either conservation or increased local supply, such as recycled water. That’s not to say that there wasn’t a lot of work to do on our imported water supply system, but that work is focused on protecting against a decrease in imported supplies, not increasing its contribution to our portfolio. That was when Metropolitan started funding various local water supply programs.

32

BC: For thousands of years, the Southwest has had periodic droughts, but the UCLA team was able to look back through thousands of years and say that about 42 percent of the current soil moisture deficit is the result of human-caused climate change. Without the effects of anthropogenic climate change, it would be a bad drought, but it wouldn’t be the worst drought in 1,200 years.

That’s only continuing. We expect there to be between half and two-thirds less average snowpack by 2100 and we expect peak runoff to shift from April to as early as mid-January. We have a water transport system that we started planning in the early 20th Century, built in the mid-20th Century, and are expecting to still perform at the beginning of the 22nd Century. That short window of hydrology that we had and the infrastructure we put in likely won’t be adequate.

SCB: When your group works to calculate future water supplies, how do you account for regulatory and litigation impacts that can slow the completion of new projects?

SCB: Why do the new restrictions apply only to Metropolitan member agencies whose water comes from Northern California through the State Water Project, and not on areas receiving water from the Colorado River?

BC: The drought on the State Water Project is a much faster-moving disaster than the drought on the Colorado.

Because of the amount of storage and the way the rules work, and because of the nature of the uncertainty about runoff and precipitation, we had to take that action for the SWP. The areas that are receiving Colorado River water will be under Gov. Newsom’s mandatory

BC: We don’t necessarily say that regulations are a bad thing; they simply reflect shifting social values regarding how we balance the multiple uses for water. We use scenario planning to plan for factors like this, looking at different scenarios where we discount the yield and the timing of projects that might be coming on, saying, for example: what would happen in the region if there was 30 percent less local supply development because of economic slowdown or additional regulatory delays?

Then we would plan for that.

SCB: If the Delta Conveyance project, which would carry water from Northern California through a tunnel to bypass the Sacramento Delta, were in place today, would these restrictions be necessary?

I don’t want to over-state the case, because in a very dry year there would not be much additional water yield from the Delta Conveyance project. But it would help us better capture the water when we have these shorter, larger storms, and some of the climate models show that these opportunities are going to increase. We need to take those opportunities – it’s critical to our future.

SCB: Do you have any final thoughts?

BC: Yes. We know water and the building industry knows housing. We want to compare our models with the building industry’s and understand how they’re conceptualizing and thinking about water use. One big opportunity we have is to work together is increase acceptance of landscaping that is more adaptable to our climate, because we really must reduce the loss of our precious water resources to non-functional turf. 

BC: We would still have a drought but improving the Delta infrastructure would allow so many more water reliability opportunities. If the Delta Conveyance project were operational at the end of the last year when we had large storms in October followed by big storms in December, the state could have captured about 230,000 or 240,000 acre-feet of additional water, which is enough water for about 850,000 households for a full year, while

Lanaya Voelz Alexander Assistant General Manager, Eastern Municipal Water District

LV-A: We did. One of the things that makes EMWD unique is that we are in a rapidly growing area and we recognize that we are only about 38 percent built-out. We know that because we collaborate closely with the county and the cities in our service area, which helps us to plan for this growth by understanding their ultimate plans and land use designations. This allows us to implement our infrastructure projects in a just-in-time manner. We want to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to support development, but we also don’t want to get too far out ahead, so we have five-year plans, 10-year plans, and 30-year-plus ultimate build-out plans.

Some of the hottest new home markets in Southern California, like Menifee, Murrieta and French Valley, are within the borders of the 558 square-mile Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD). Southern California Builder talked with EMWD’s Assistant General Manager Lanaya Voelz Alexander, who heads a 160-person department tasked with making sure the district keeps up with an ever-growing demand for water, about the challenges involved when rapid growth and severe drought converge.

Southern California Builder: Tell us briefly about your responsibilities as Assistant General Manager of Planning, Engineering and Construction at EMWD. Lanaya Voelz-Alexander: Our branch provides planning for facilities and water supply, and also is responsible for our conservation efforts and our groundwater development and management, which are both important parts of our portfolio.

We are responsible for compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements regarding water quality, wastewater treatment and environmental considerations for projects, and on top of that, we also have the engineering and construction branch, which implements more than $150 million a year of our capital improvements program, advancing water, recycled water and wastewater infrastructure projects.

Inside Edition: WATER

Q&A with Lanaya Voelz Alexander

Because we have so much growth, we often have to revisit the plans, looking at the more immediate changes and adapting.

For example, the Regional Housing Needs Assessment drastically changed the densification that we looked at five years ago in our facilities plan – and even drastically changed what we were looking at just 18 months ago when we were working on the technical details of our Urban Water Management Plan. We plan for things like this with buffers and on-ramps and off-ramps for certain projects.

SCB: Scientists at UCLA say the Southwestern United States is in its most severe drought in 1,200 years. How do you and your colleagues throughout Californian’s water industry work to secure sufficient water supplies for such unusually dry period?

SCB: As you plan for future demand, how important is the superior water conservation achieved inside and outside new homes to your planning?

LV-A: We absolutely are seeing greater efficiency in the new tracts and we incentivize and encourage that continued efficient behavior. One of the tools we have in our toolbox is water budgets, and new homes have a different conservation factor that is applied to their water budget to strongly encourage homeowners to keep the water-efficient landscaping that’s installed in their new homes. We do outreach to make sure they understand that if they rip out the landscaping that came with their home and replace it with sod, their water budgets will likely be exceeded, and they will be paying more for the water that we calculate is outside of what their need is.

SCB: What advice can you give to homebuilders and developers for working successfully with EMWD and their local water providers in your service area?

LV-A: We have a development service department within our branch as well, and developers should visit us early and often. We appreciate any effort by a developer to embrace our conservation ethic. We know there’s a cost involved, but if they can make those front yards look really good with water-efficient landscaping, it will help reduce the chance of a customer deciding to replace it with turf.

We also work closely with the development community on the infrastructure to get water and wastewater in and out of new tracts. For example, we may have a developer who comes in and says they need a six-inch water line to serve their community. Well, we’ll look at our master plan and if we determine that in 10 or 20 years we will need that line to be 12 inches, we’ll participate with that developer through a financial participation agreement where we’ll pay to up-size that. We try to capitalize on efficiencies with the development community.

Inside Edition: WATER

we do have control. EMWD is in a great position with groundwater resources, which currently make up about 15 percent of our total supply and very actively manages those resources so we don’t see the sort of groundwater challenges that we see in Central Valley. Being proactive has allowed us to maintain these resources and continue to grow them as part of our portfolio. Also, recycled water now makes up 35 percent of our supply and several years ago, our board made a commitment to utilize 100 percent of the wastewater that we generate through recycling. We have the advantage of being a developing agency so we can expand our recycled infrastructure as we grow; these “purple pipe” projects are always much more challenging in an area that is already builtout. As water use changes from agricultural to more residential and commercial development, we will be advancing a purified water replenishment project where we will be treating that wastewater using advanced technologies and re-introducing it back into our groundwater basin.

SCB: Is there anything I didn’t ask you that you’d like to discuss?

LV-A: Just to reinforce that EMWD’s commitment to water use efficiency allows us to support the growth in our area. There’s still more we can do, and we are focusing most efforts on outdoor irrigation at this point and are looking to continue to improve that. 

SCB: Will builders in our area be able to proceed without fear of water moratoria or the inability to attain “will serve” letters?

LV-A: We are not a land use agency but based on all our planning and our documented submittals to the state, we do not envision having any issues with water supply reliability within our service area. We respond to lead agencies that come to us and ask for Water Supply Assessments under CEQA; in fact, we have three assessments going to our planning committee next week and we average one to three a month. These assessments are reinforcing the much higher densities than we saw 18 months ago, but because we have given ourselves room, we are able to adjust and adapt.

BUILDING WATER RESILIENCY NOW

RESILIENCE IN THE DELTA The release of the draft EIR marks an important step in the Delta Conveyance Project planning process. Hear what this means in the effort to restore and protect the reliability of the State Water Project.

HOW LOW CAN YOU GO? Conserving water is a way of life, but how low is too low?

We will discuss water use standards and the impacts of using less or what happens if we don’t.

BUILDING FOR DROUGHT The building industry has long been a champion of water efficiency. Our panel will provide an overview of funding opportunities and how it can be used.

EVERY DROP COUNTS

All water starts as stormwater, so how is So Cal capturing that supply from the sky? Our panel shares the process from Planning to Funding to Building.

Keynote: Planning for Resiliency

Adel Hagekhalil -

General Manager Metropolitan Water District of Southern California The Southern California Water Conference provides a forum for agencies, local government, private industry and the public to collaborate on issues facing the region regarding the ability to deliver safe, clean water to residents and businesses.

Our goal is to increase awareness of the issues water agencies face and showcase how they are responding. The collaborative dialogue between the public and private sectors enables the region to speak with one voice about solutions to State and regulatory agencies.

2022 Southern California Water Conference

Inside Edition: WATER

Building Water Resiliency Now Water remains a critical issue for all of California, but especially here in Southern California where we will continue to need a reliable supply to keep pace with dire housing construction needed in Southern California. As the state presses Southern California cities to increase their collective zoning for future residential development in the next 8 years from approximately 400,000 homes to 1.3 million, BIASC will remain at the forefront of advancing water policy needed to address the needs of our region.

The first part of the 2021-22 rain year drenched California with drought-busting storms - but then the first few months of 2022 dried it all up. Unfortunately, California has now slipped back into a severe drought with limited or no deliveries from the State and Federal water projects and local agencies are declaring Stage 2, or 3 even, of their water shortage plans.

Californians can expect more extreme weather events including long dry periods, heat waves, low precipitation followed by more severe storms, flooding and storm surge. It is time to Build Water Resiliency Now. Since 2007, the BIASC Southern California Water Conference has provided a forum for water agencies, government officials, and the building industry to come together and share best practices and discuss ideas to meet the challenges of serving the growing demand for water while protecting our natural resources.

On August 12, 2022, experts will participate in our Southern California Water Conference to discuss a variety of timely topics including “Building for Continued Drought; How Low Can You Go? Water Use Standards; and Every Drop Counts – All Water Starts as Stormwater”. We will also feature Graham Bradner from the Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority to provide insights on “Building Resilience in the Delta” and a keynote address on “Planning for Resiliency” by Adel Hagekhalil, General Manager of the Metropolitan Water District.

BIA LA/V Chapter Economic Forecast & Housing Strategy Summit Recap

Southern California

BUILDER |

April 2022

Over 200 private and public sector leaders from throughout Southern California gathered together to further the discussion on how to get California building homes again at the 2022 Economic Forecast & Housing Strategy Summit held on April 27, 2022 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

Hosted by the Building Industry Association of Southern California (BIASC) and its Los Angeles/Ventura Chapter (BIA LA/V), with the Southern California Leadership Council serving as co-host, the Summit included an audience of prominent elected officials, community leaders, homebuilders, landowners, and business owners.

Attendees heard from a distinguished lineup of speakers, including former California Governor Pete Wilson. In a recorded message, former Governor Wilson addressed the need to reduce the regulatory burdens homebuilders face to reverse the state’s declining homeownership rates. “Ten years ago, 50% of Californians could afford a median-priced home, but now it’s less than half that, and each time the home affordability statistic drops another point, another swath of our population loses its hold on the American dream of homeownership,” said Wilson. “That is a tragedy because it also means that all the economic and social benefits that come with homeownership have been lost for them.”

Wilson also discussed how declining home affordability can be reversed by removing regulatory and litigation roadblocks and by identifying new financing vehicles to replace redevelopment agencies. “The solution to the housing crisis can be summarized in two words: more production. It won’t be easy, but I sense that the tide is starting to turn, that the pendulum is starting to swing back in our direction,” added Wilson.

Moderating the event was Bill McReynolds, BIA LA/V President, and Vice President of Land Acquisitions at Warmington Residential. “I was delighted to attend the Building Industry Association of Southern California’s Economic Forecast to discuss California’s building successes, deficits, and predictions for the future,” commented McReynolds.

“California’s housing strategies are ever-changing. We have so many talented individuals behind the curtain who contribute to BIASC was also honored to have Former Governor Gray Davis the growth of this state, and 2022 is when we need to pull back attend and speak in person. Davis told the audience that the the curtain on overbearing regulations to set our path straight.” housing crisis is causing California to lose its middle class,

Upcoming BIASC & CHAPTER EVENTS which he called “the glue that holds society together.” He called on Governor Newsom to declare a housing emergency and use at least $10 billion of the state budget surplus on programs to create more housing. He also criticized the overregulation of housing, citing a proposed stormwater control regulation as an example because it would make it impossible for homebuilders in the region to build during the six-month rainy season. “If builders can build year-round in states where they get as much rain in a day or two as we get in a year, regulators shouldn’t be trying to stop us from building yearround here!”

Guests also heard from Los Angeles County Fifth District Supervisor Kathryn Barger, and Christopher Thornberg, founder of Beacon Economics, who provided insight into the building economic forecast for 2022 and beyond. Thornberg told the audience, “Heated inflation will carry interest rates with it, so the decades of low interest rates are behind us, but high interest rates don’t kill housing. Housing sales are being driven by equity – there’s $26 trillion dollars of equity in the U.S. housing market, triple what it was a decade ago – so we are in a cash-driven market and that cash is going to continue to be spent on homes, no matter what interest rates do.”

46

The evening also included a special Land and Development panel, which featured a robust discussion among housing leaders, including:

• • • • •

Greg Bielli, President and CEO, Tejon Ranch Mike Balsamo, Senior Vice President, Governmental Relations, Rancho Mission Viejo Randall Lewis, Senior EVP of Marketing, Lewis Group of Companies Nicole Murray, Division President, Shea Homes Greg McWilliams, Chief Policy Officer, and VP, Fivepoint

Panel members discussed the need for greater predictability from local and state government for land purchasing and home building to be successful. In addition, regulatory agencies need to stop promulgating more rules and hurdles, and there must be a move away from the massive economic transformation forcing gentrification. The panel agreed that all hands on deck are needed in order to get neighborhoods and quality of life back on track.

“Our Economic Forecast & Housing Strategy Summit provides invaluable information for our members and elected officials to better engage on housing solutions,” said BIASC CEO Jeff Montejano. “The growing large number of attendees for these leadership summit’s are outstanding and a clear indication about the growing need for better regional housing policies.” 

A word from the President

Ike Balmaseda President of SAGE 2021-2022

It’s the end of spring and June is here. While we soak up the remaining days of spring, it is time to reflect what’s been happening recently with SAGE. What you may have missed was on May 19th, the Council on SAGE hosted another informational and educational program, the “New Approaches to Senior Living” , hosted and moderated by SAGE Board Director, Douglas Pancake, M. Arch, AIA. Featured key speaker included renowned architect, professor, and author Victor Regnier, FAIA. Victor touched on everything from design of senior housing to community settings for older people, the current state of the senior market, design challenges, and trends in senior living.

Key Takeaways: • Insights into the challenges and solutions to senior housing design; • What are the biggest Lifestyle PRIORITIES to Seniors; • Attendees get a glimpse to learn the world-wide movement to make cities more accessible, safer, and more supportive for older residents.

If you’d like recordings of this presentation, please contact Lisa Meadows at lmeadows@biasc.org or call 949-777-3849.

Groundbreaking & on the Rise News On June 1st, Jamboree Housing and the city of Huntington Beach is breaking ground for new supportive housing for Seniors. The project location is at 18431 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach, CA. Stay tuned for another great project from Jamboree Housing.

NextGen Insider

Event Highlights Since its formation, NextGen has opened the doors for opportunities of growth and connection in the industry for all its members. The founding principles of the committee were to gather like-minded individuals to help foster relationships and professional development.

NextGen recently hosted an educational seminar with a panel of some of the founding members who are now the leaders within their companies. This was a unique opportunity to hear how NextGen helped advance their careers and personal growth.

This lively panel provided insight on mentorship, work-life balance, and the power of hard work. All while sharing laughs along the way.
