El Segundo council adopts live-work preference for affordable rentals, raises share to 20%
Summary
The council adopted a resolution creating a live-work preference for new city-assisted affordable housing projects, raising the share of units to prioritize local workers from 15% to 20% and removing a proposed preference for city and school employees.
Community Development Director Michael Allen and consulting firm RSG presented a resolution to establish a live-work preference policy for city-assisted affordable housing projects on June 3, 2025. The policy requires a portion of affordable rental units to prioritize applicants who are local residents and households with at least one member who works in El Segundo or who have a bona fide job offer in the city.
The original policy language presented a 15% preference and additional preference for employees of the city and employees of a school district in El Segundo. The City Council adopted the resolution after modifying it: the council increased the portion from 15% to 20% and removed the additional preference for city and school district employees.
Council discussion during the staff presentation emphasized prioritizing local access to affordable units; the council adopted the modified resolution. The meeting record does not list vote tallies or the names of motion makers.
