PROJECT TITLE: City of Berkeley 2023-2031 Housing Element Update PROJECT LOCATION: The project, which is an update to the Housing Element of the General Plan, is applicable to the entire City of Berkeley (citywide). The City of Berkeley is located in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area in northern Alameda County.

Berkeley is bordered by the cities of Oakland and Emeryville to the south and the city of Albany and the unincorporated community of Kensington to the north, the Berkeley Hills (Contra Costa County) to the east, and the San Francisco Bay to the west. The city

2 Notice of Preparation
City of Berkeley Housing Element Update Project January 21, 2022

encompasses approximately 17.2 square miles (approximately 7.2 of which is underwater in the San Francisco Bay) with a population of approximately 122,580 residents and 51,500 housing units. The city contains a combination of residential, commercial, and industrial development.

Interstate 580/880, San Pablo Avenue (SR-123), Sacramento Street, Martin Luther King Jr. Way, and Shattuck Avenue provide the major north-south routes through the city, as does Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). Major east-west routes include Marin Avenue, University Avenue, and Ashby Avenue.

The regional setting and existing city limits are depicted on Figure 1.

PROJECT SPONSOR: City of Berkeley
PROPOSED PROJECT DESCRIPTION and BACKGROUND: The proposed project consists of a comprehensive update to the Housing Element and related edits to the City’s General Plan Land Use Element and Berkeley Municipal Code.

The Housing Element is one of the seven state-mandated elements of the local General Plan and is required to be updated every eight years. The City of Berkeley is preparing the 2023-2031 Housing Element Update to comply with the legal mandate that requires each local government to identify adequate sites for housing to meet the existing and projected housing needs for varying income-levels in the community. It is intended to provide the city with a comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent and affordable housing, and affirmatively furthering fair housing during the housing cycle. The Housing Element Update establishes goals, policies, and actions to address the existing and projected housing needs in Berkeley.

The goals, policies, and actions in the Housing Element are required to meet Berkeley’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA) allocation. Berkeley’s latest RHNA allocation calls for 8,934 new housing units, including 3,854 new units for residents in the low- and very low-income categories. The City must demonstrate to the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) that the City’s Housing Element has adequate land capacity and implementing policies to accommodate its RHNA allocation. In addition, HCD recommends that cities identify a “buffer” of 15% to 30% above RHNA for lower- and moderate-income categories. Thus, overall, the City’s zoning and other land use regulations must accommodate between approximately 9,750 and 10,500 new units.

To identify the housing sites to be included in the Housing Element, the City will identify suitable and available housing sites and their capacity, screen for vacant and underutilized parcels, evaluate and analyze sites, and calculate potential buildout.

In conjunction with the Housing Element Update, the City anticipates amendments to the General Plan including revising the Land Use Element to maintain consistency with the updated Housing Element. The Land Use Element revisions are to ensure consistency among all General Plan Elements upon implementation of the updated Housing Element.

More information about the proposed project can be found on the City’s website:

City of Berkeley Housing Element Update Project January 21, 2022

https://www.cityofberkeley.info/housingelement/
PROBABLE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: Approval of the proposed Housing Element Update would not approve any physical development (e.g., construction of housing or infrastructure). However, the EIR will assume that such actions are reasonably foreseeable future outcomes of the Housing Element Update. As such, the EIR will evaluate the potential physical environmental impacts that could result from future actions for implementing the policies proposed under the Housing Element Update at a programmatic level, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168.

The topical areas that will be addressed in the EIR are: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Energy, Geology and Soils, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology and Water Quality, Noise, Land Use and Planning, Population and Housing, Public Services and Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities and Service Systems, and Wildfire.

The Draft EIR will also examine a reasonable range of alternatives to the proposed project, including the CEQA-mandated No Project Alternative and other potential alternatives that may be capable of reducing or avoiding potential environmental effects while meeting most of the basic objectives of the project. In addition, the EIR will address cumulative impacts, growth inducing impacts, and other issues required by CEQA.

SUBJECT: Response to the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Draft Environmental Impact Report for the City of Berkeley Housing Element Update

Dear Grace Wu,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Notice of Preparation (NOP) of the Draft Environmental Impact Report ( DEIR) for the City of Berkeley Housing Element Update . The project would include all 17.2 square miles of the City of Berkeley, located in northern Alameda County. The proposed comprehensive Housing Element Update will be based on the City’s latest Regional Housing Needs Allocation which requires the City of Berkely’s zoning and other land use regulations to accommodate between approximately 9,750 and 10,500 new units. The Housing Element Update will identify suitable and available housing sites by screening for vacant and underutilized parcels, evaluating sites and calculating the capacity of potential buildouts. The Land Use Element of the General Plan will be updated as needed to maintain consistency with the updated Housing Element.

The Alameda County Transportation Commission (Alameda CTC) respectfully submits the following comments:

Basis for Congestion Management Program (CMP) Review
• It appears that the proposed project will generate at least 100 p.m. peak hour trips over existing conditions, and therefore the CMP Land Use Analysis Program requires the City to conduct a transportation impact analysis of the project. For information on the CMP, please visit:
https://www.alamedactc.org/planning/congestion-management-program/.

Use of Countywide Travel Demand Model

• The Alameda Countywide Travel Demand Model should be used for CMP Land Use Analysis purposes. The CMP requires local jurisdictions to conduct travel model runs themselves or through a consultant. The City of Berkeley and the Alameda CTC signed a Countywide Model Agreement on September 15, 2010. Before the model can be used for this project, a letter must be submitted to the Alameda CTC requesting use of the model and describing the project. A copy of a sample letter agreement is available upon request. The most current version of the Alameda CTC Countywide Travel Demand Model was updated in May 2019 to be consistent with the assumptions of Plan Bay Area 2040.

o SR 123/San Pablo Avenue in Berkeley, Emeryville, Albany, and Oakland o SR 13/Ashby Avenue in Berkeley and Oakland
o University Avenue in Berkeley, and Shattuck Avenue, Telegraph Avenue, and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Berkeley and Oakland
o For the purposes of CMP Land Use Analysis, the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 freeway and urban streets methodologies are the preferred methodologies to study vehicle delay impacts. o The Alameda CTC has not adopted any policy for determining a threshold of significance for Level of Service for the Land Use Analysis Program of the CMP.

• The DEIR should address potential impacts of the project on Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS) transit operators.
o MTS transit operators potentially affected by the plan include: AC Transit, BART, and Capital Corridor
o Transit impacts for consideration include the effects of project vehicle traffic on mixed flow transit operations, transit capacity, transit access/egress, need for future transit service, and consistency with adopted plans.

• The DEIR should address potential impacts of the plan to people biking and walking in and near the plan area, especially nearby roads included in the Countywide High-injury Network and major barriers identified in the Countywide Active Transportation Plan. o Impacts to consider on conditions for cyclists include effects of vehicle traffic on cyclist safety and performance, site development and roadway improvements, and consistency with adopted plans.

Mitigation Measures

• Alameda CTC’s policy regarding mitigation measures is that to be considered adequate they must:
o Adequately sustain CMP roadway and transit service standards; o Be fully funded; and
o Be consistent with project funding priorities established in the Capital Improvement Program of the CMP, the Countywide Transportation Plan (CTP), and the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) or the Federal Transportation Improvement Program, if the agency relies on state or federal funds programmed by Alameda CTC.

• The DEIR should discuss the adequacy of proposed mitigation measure according to the criteria above. In particular, the DEIR should detail when proposed roadway or transit route improvements are expected to be completed, how they will be funded, and the effect on service standards if only the funded portions of these mitigation measures are built prior to Project completion. The DEIR should also address the issue of transit funding as a mitigation measure in the context of the Alameda CTC mitigation measure criteria discussed above.

• Jurisdictions are encouraged to discuss multimodal tradeoffs associated with mitigation measures that involve changes in roadway geometry, intersection control, or other changes to the transportation network. This analysis should identify impacts to automobiles, transit, bicyclists, and pedestrians. The HCM 2010 MMLOS methodology is encouraged as a tool to evaluate these tradeoffs, but project sponsors may use other methodologies as appropriate for particular contexts or types of mitigations.

• The DEIR should consider the use of TDM measures, in conjunction with roadway and transit improvements, as a means of attaining acceptable levels of service. Whenever possible, mechanisms that encourage ridesharing, flextime, transit, bicycling, telecommuting and other means of reducing peak hour traffic trips should be considered.

Grace,
Here are my comments on the Housing Element scoping.

More capacity needed to meet the RHNA goals
In the last cycle, the current zoning led to about 2,943 units being built.

For this cycle, 4,370 units are expected to come from the "Additional Sites" not including BART, ADUs, and entitled projects. These additional sites have a capacity of 8,574 units. To have a better chance at meeting housing goals, especially since there is less remaining zoned capacity today than there was in the last cycle, more Potential Additional Sites should be identified.

Consider a larger-number-of-units alternative
The BART rezone draft EIR had an alternative with taller buildings that was found to be the environmentally superior alternative. Please also add a larger-number-of-units alternative to be studied.

Include Councilmember Taplin's proposed Affordable Housing Overlay The RHNA process classifies all large high-density sites as Low Income, however, in practice in Berkeley these types of sites are used both for low income and high income housing.

Adding an Affordable Housing Overlay to large low-density sites to allow high density affordable housing could provide more places for low income housing to go.

Consider rezoning R-1, R-1A, R-2 zones next to commercial zones and the North Berkeley BART to R-3 or R-4
The blocks next to the commercial zones areas have similarly excellent transit access, and have the added benefit of being quieter places to live than the commercial corridor itself.

Allow limited retail in residential zones
Retail in residential areas with limited operating hours (for example, 8 or 9pm close times) can reduce the need for driving to go shopping.

Gilman, Claremont, and North Shattuck should have additional capacity added These are some of the highest income and opportunity areas in the city, and to affirmatively further fair housing, more capacity should be added here.

Thanks
Alfred

I am a life long Bay Area resident and I am interested in moving to Berkeley.

I would appreciate if it was possible for Berkeley to add more housing so people can move in without people needing to move out or move into their cars. More housing will also mean more impact fees that can be used to add BMR housing, student housing, better quality roads, etc.

I support increasing density throughout Berkeley, especially in the wealthy areas, and making it legal to build fourplexes throughout the city with ministerial approval.

Hello,
Please study increasing the density in the C-SA - South Area Commercial District, which would bring it in line with the most recently updated C-AC Adeline Corridor Commercial District zoning.

In addition, please study:

1. Removing the height restrictions between sub-areas (see Table 23.204-28. C-SA

MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT)

2. Increasing the lot coverage percentages (see Table 23.204-30. C-SA LOT COVERAGE

STANDARDS FOR

MIXED USE AND RESIDENTIAL-ONLY USES)

3. Reducing setbacks when abutting or confronting residential lots (see 23.204.150(E)(5)) Please also study merging C-SA into the C-AC Adeline Corridor Commercial District Sincerely,
Markus Feyh

Berkeley, CA 94704
Director Klein,
East Bay for Everyone is a membership organization committed to building just cities through land use, transit and housing policy. We write to provide the following principles and policy suggestions as Berkeley prepares an update to its 6th Cycle Housing Element.

We also request that the Draft EIR (DEIR) explore the environmental consequences of the policies below where applicable, so that the scope of the EIR is broad enough to include any of these policies should Council choose to include them in the
final Housing Element.

High Level Goals

1. Encourage new housing in af fluent, high-resource neighborhoods and areas well-served by transit and bicycle infrastructure.

2. Development without displacement
a. Ensure that any redevelopment of existing rent controlled housing includes robust protections for tenants, including compliance with right to return and no net loss provisions of SB 330.

3. Provide opportunities for longtime and multi-generational Berkeleyans to realize the increased value of their property without selling their property and leaving the city.

4. Create more ADA-accessible, family-sized and deed-restricted affordable units.

5. Create substantial quantities of lower-cost “missing middle” housing throughout Berkeley’s lower-density neighborhoods.
a. Small unit development permitted by-right makes providing ADU-like units more flexible and accessible to people with disabilities. Simple construction and permitting for multi-family housing opens urban home-building to smaller, local contractors, property owners, and land trusts.
b. This “missing middle” housing type can satisfy moderate-income housing needs, allowing the city to concentrate affordable housing funds on the most needy.

6. Enable and encourage larger multifamily buildings on commercial and transit corridors.

7. Allow for a variety of housing types and sizes, including townhomes, small apartment buildings, and bungalow courts.

With these goals in mind, we suggest the following the policies for consideration within the draft housing element:

Increased density along transit corridors, up to 8-12 stories ● For commercial parcels near BART and along major bus corridors (lines 51, 6, 18, and 12), rezone for 6-8 stories of mixed-use housing.
● With the potential of cross-laminated timber construction, it may also be worth exploring 12-story buildings, particularly in Downtown and Southside. We expect local area plans to evaluate buildings taller than 12 stories.
● For single-family and duplex parcels within 0.5 miles of BART stations, consider midrise, mixed-use zoning for 4 to 5 stories rather than just missing middle.

Increased “missing middle” housing throughout Berkeley neighborhoods ● These revisions should apply in R-1, R-1A, R-2, R-2A, and MU-R zones citywide. ● Four (4) units on any lot that allows ADUs. A base zoning of 8 units if near transit, and up to 12 units near transit if the project includes 2 affordable units (50% density bonus). All approvals should be ministerial.
○ Due to
fire and building codes, the maximum of 12 units would likely only be feasible on certain larger lots.
○ Four units trigger the ADA’s requirement of at least one accessible unit. ○ Allow flexibility for the subdivision of existing non-conforming structures ○ No public hearings if the appearance from the street is unchanged. ○ One public hearing for input if appearance from the street changes significantly. ● Rules should be crafted with multiple housing types in mind: small apartment buildings, bungalow courts, and townhouses. Modular or pre-fabricated construction should be encouraged. Planning staff should consult with architects, engineers and contractors to conform policy design with current and expected building industry standards. ● As part of the code update, Planning could develop a pre-approved plan for a four-unit dwelling that would work on the vast majority of residential lots. Architectural ornamentation and exterior
finishes can accommodate neighborhood and owner
preference.
● Loosen development standards to be at least as permissive as ADU standards. Ensure that setback requirements and FAR do not interfere with the ability to build 4-12 units where allowed.
● Allow ministerial lot splits/condo mapping for newly-built units (not house conversions). ● Enforce Berkeley’s demolition protections and SB 330 where applicable. 2 of 3

Citywide Affordable Housing Overlay
Berkeley City Council referred adoption of an Affordable Housing Overlay to the Housing Element process. The proposed overlay would allow for additional height and density of affordable housing developments anywhere in Berkeley, including lower-density neighborhoods, outside of the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). This proposed AHO must be included for analysis in the DEIR.

Ministerial Approval Process
● Adopt an ordinance for fully ministerial approval of qualifying housing developments, modeled on the one recently adopted in Sacramento. This would facilitate faster and more cost effective construction of needed homes, while reducing the discretionary review burden on planning staff and planning commissions.
○ Qualifying developments should be zoning compliant. Berkeley may also consider as requirements a maximum development size (in Sacramento this is 200 units; square footage may make sense as an alternative) and electing for on-site Affordable Housing rather than an in-lieu fee.
● Include a menu of commonly chosen density bonus concessions that could be used in this ministerial process for qualifying developments.

T enant Protections
● Audit enforcement of demolition protections, no net loss and right to return required by SB330 within the planning process. Incorporate these standards directly into Berkeley law, as well as permit application forms.
● Coordinate with Berkeley’s Rent Board to provide clear processes for tenant right to return required by SB330.
● Create a local rental registry in order to capture rental data and enforce tenant protections, including demolition protections.

We look forward to continuing to engage with the City of Berkeley in the 6th Cycle Housing Element Update.

Technical Memorandum

INTRODUCTION
Kittelson and Associates (Kittelson) has prepared this vehicle miles traveled (VMT) impact assessment for the City of Berkeley Housing Element Update. This VMT assessment is based on Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) housing units developed by the City of Berkeley. Kittelson conducted the travel demand modeling with the Alameda County Transportation Commission (CTC) Countywide Model. The VMT assessment is based on the SB 743 requirements and City of Berkeley VMT Guidelines.

The 2023-2031 Draft RHNA estimates include a total of 19,098 units located in the sites inventory within 106 selected traffic analysis zones (TAZs) around the City. Travel forecasts were prepared for both existing 2020 model year and future 2040 cumulative model year conditions. Since the year 2031 represents the Housing Element buildout, VMT for year 2031 was interpolated between 2020 and 2040. VMT results were extracted at the citywide level based on the efficiency metric, VMT per Capita and total VMT. The results were compared to the Bay Area regionwide average to determine if the additional housing units as per the Housing Element Update contribute to a VMT impact under SB 743 and City guidelines.

The overall effect of adding 19,098 housing units in Berkeley in the locations identified by the TAZs in the city and region level VMT is to shorten trip lengths, promote mode choice to transit-related modes and reduce VMT per capita for the City under both 2020 plus project and 2040 plus cumulative project conditions.

Kittelson evaluated the Housing Element Update at the programmatic level using an overall systemwide VMT assessment, i.e., considering all the TAZs within the city for evaluating the VMT impacts.

VMT THRESHOLDS
VMT thresholds are defined using recommendations from the California Office of Planning and Research (OPR) based on their final report, dated December 2018. Cities and counties could opt to develop their own methods, but CEQA impact criteria are generally consistent with OPR recommendations. The City of Berkeley’s VMT Criteria and Thresholds were developed and published on June 29, 20201. This CEQA analysis is based on the City policy and supplemented with OPR recommendations (where applicable and necessary).

RE: City of Berkeley Housing Element – Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Impact Assessment Memorandum

June 23, 2022 Page 2
City of Berkeley Housing Element VMT Impact Assessment Kittelson & Associates, Inc.

The City of Berkeley has opted to compare VMT to the Bay Area regionwide average. Based on OPR and City guidelines, any development that does not immediately screen out for a VMT per capita assessment should produce a VMT per capita of 15% less than the baseline Bay Area regionwide average.

In the City of Berkeley, the screening criteria for CEQA Exemptions include the following for housing projects:

1. Within ½ mile of BART stations and Amtrak station,

2. Within ¼ mile of high-quality transit corridor, which has 15-minute frequency fixed-route bus service,

3. Contains 100% affordable housing,

4. All projects (housing related) expected to generate less than 836 daily VMT (usually around 20 residential units) are also exempt, and

5. All projects located in the low VMT areas, in a TAZ that has the household VMT per capita that is 15% lower than the baseline regional average.

VMT RESULTS
For Berkeley, VMT metrics are compared to the Bay Area regionwide average, and an impact is assessed if the project VMT per capita is higher than the established 15% below the regionwide average threshold. At the aggregate level, Table 1 through Table 3 indicates that the Housing Element Update project’s overall VMT per capita produces lower VMT than 15% below the regionwide average (10.64 vs 19.31 in 2020, 10.86 vs 19.08 in 2031, and 11.03 vs 18.93 in 2040), and in aggregate is less than significant and does screen out from further VMT analysis and evaluation under CEQA.

Tables and figures of the VMT analysis are summarized below. • Table 1 provides a summary of 2020 VMT per capita at the City, County, and Regionwide level. • Table 2 provides a summary of 2040 VMT per capita at the City, County, and Regionwide level. • Table 3 provides a summary of 2031 VMT per capita at the City, County, and Regionwide level. • Figure 1 displays the sites inventory (except for the projected ADUs) by TAZ in the City of Berkeley. • Figure 2 displays the 2020 households by TAZ and color coded based on households per acre by TAZ in the City of Berkeley.
• Figure 3 displays the 2040 households by TAZ and color coded based on households per acre by TAZ in the City of Berkeley.
• Figure 4 displays the 2020 population by TAZ and color coded based on population per acre by TAZ in the City of Berkeley.

City of Berkeley Housing Element VMT Impact Assessment Kittelson & Associates, Inc.

CONCLUSION
The VMT assessment for the Housing Element Update was conducted using the Alameda CTC Countywide model. RHNA housing units were added to the model in each TAZ that represent the sites inventory and projected ADUs. VMT per capita was extracted at the systemwide (City, County, and Regionwide) level for 2020 and 2040. Year 2031 was interpolated from the 2020 and 2040. The results indicate that at the programmatic level, the VMT associated with the additional residential units is more than 15% below the existing regionwide average.

Berkeley, CA 94704
Dear Jordan Klein:

RE: The City of Berkel
ey’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element
Thank you for submitting the City of Berkel
ey’s (City) draft housing element received for
review on August 10, 2022, along with revisions received on November 1, 2022.

Pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (b), the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) is reporting the results of its review. Our review was facilitated by a conversation on September 20, 2022 and a sites inventory tour on October 6, 2022, with the City’s housing element team. In addition, HCD considered comments from Councilmember Rashi Kesarwani, Councilmember Lori Droste, East Bay for Everyone, TransForm, YIMBY Law and Greenbelt Alliance, David Kellogg, Bee Coleman, Latrel Powell, Katia Kiston, Sheila Goldmacher, Ariana Thompson-Lastad, Elizabeth Ferguson, Gail Brown, Alan Kiviat, Ginny Madsen, Leah Simon-Weisberg, Ms. Omowale Fowles, Amelia Post, S M Ostroff, Rahel Smith, Elana Auerbach, Negeene Mosaed, Yes2TOPA Coalition, pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).

The draft element addresses many statutory requirements; however, revisions will be necessary to comply with State Housing Element Law (Article 10.6 of the Gov. Code), as follows:

1. An inventory of land suitable and available for residential development, including vacant sites and sites having realistic and demonstrated potential for redevelopment during the planning period to meet the locality’s housing need for a designated income level, and an analysis of the relationship of zoning and public facilities and services to these sites. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(3).) Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the inventory... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).) Attachment 4

Jordan Klein, Director

Suitability of Nonvacant Sites: The element lists various factors (e.g., age of structure, improvement to land value ratio, existing floor area) utilized to indicate the potential for redevelopment in the planning period (p. C-15); however, it should support the validity of these factors. To support these factors, the element should evaluate development trends or recent experience in redevelopment relative to the factors. For example, the element could utilize Table C-6 (Pipeline Sites) and list the values of the factors for prior uses.

In addition, specific analysis and actions are necessary if the housing element relies upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for lower-income households. For your information, the housing element must demonstrate existing uses are not an impediment to additional residential development and will likely discontinue in the planning period. Absent findings (e.g., adoption resolution) based on substantial evidence, the existing uses will be presumed to impede additional residential development and will not be utilized toward demonstrating adequate sites to accommodate the RHNA.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): HCD’s October 17, 2022 Review of the City’s ADU Ordinance yielded information about potential ADU limitations in the City, including the number of units allowed per lot in the Hillside Overlay District.

However, the City’s housing element ADU projections do not account for these potential limitations. Therefore, the housing element should lower the ADU projections, or add and/or modify programs to maintain current ADU projections.

Environmental Constraints: While the element provides information on general environmental constraints, it should also relate those constraints to identified sites, including a discussion of any other known conditions (e.g., shape, easements, contamination) and impacts on development in the planning period.

Electronic Sites Inventory: For your information, pursuant to Government Code section 65583.3, the City must submit an electronic sites inventory with its adopted housing element. The City must utilize standards, forms, and definitions adopted by HCD. Please see HCD’s housing element webpage at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/housing-
element/index.shtml#element for a copy of the form and instructions. The City can reach out to HCD at [email protected] for technical assistance.

Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types (Emergency Shelters): While the element provides general information on development standards for emergency shelters, it should also describe available acreage, capacity, and proximity to transportation and services. For example, the element could describe specific

Jordan Klein, Director

sites where emergency shelters are feasible and provide information on their location relative to services.

Programs: As noted above, the element does not include a complete site analysis; therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established.

Based on the results of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs to address a shortfall of sites or zoning available to encourage a variety of housing types.

In addition, the element identifies a total of 1,200 units on two BART sites, including 420 units to meet the lower-income RHNA. The element should amend Program 28 (BART Station Area Planning) with additional milestones and a full schedule of actions throughout the planning period to ensure the site is made available during the planning period. In addition, the program should add provisions that describe when additional actions are triggered (e.g., progress not made three years into the planning period).

2. An analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the types of housing identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), and for persons with disabilities as identified in the analysis pursuant to paragraph (7), including land use controls, building codes and their enforcement, site improvements, fees and other exactions required of developers, and local processing and permit procedures... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(5).)

An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including… …requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in the analysis required by subdivision (c) of Government Code section 65583.2... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(6).)

Address and, where appropriate and legally possible, remove governmental and nongovernmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing, including housing for all income levels and housing for persons with disabilities. The program shall remove constraints to, and provide reasonable accommodations for housing designed for, intended for occupancy by, or with supportive services for, persons with disabilities. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(3).)

Land Use Controls: While the element identifies relevant land-use controls (Appendix B), the element must also evaluate those development standards for impacts on housing supply (number of units), cost, feasibility, and the ability to achieve maximum densities. The element currently relies on recently entitled projects, likely projects, and pipeline projects to indicate land use controls are not

Jordan Klein, Director

a constraint but should also clarify whether projects benefitted from other laws, such as State Density Bonus Law, to achieve project densities or evaluate impacts on cost and feasibility. For example, the element could describe a sample project and determine the feasibility of a project being built at maximum density for each zone with sites currently in the inventory.

Local Processing and Permit Procedures: The element provides an overview of the permit processing procedures but should analyze this process as a constraint. For instance, the element discusses use permits and administrative use permits as potential constraints to projects, including multiple public hearings that can significantly hinder project approval, but does not take meaningful actions to mitigate these factors. The element should describe the factors behind projects facing multiple public hearings, analyze these factors as constraints, and incorporate policies and/or programs to mitigate the constraint, as appropriate.

In addition, the element should fully list and analyze findings of approval for use permits, administrative use permits, and design review as constraints. Moreover, the element should analyze the use permit requirement, instead of a by-right ministerial approval process, for multiple residential uses as a potential constraint. The analysis should describe the requirement for the use permit instead of the previously provided information on the concurrent processing of multiple-use permits. To mitigate these constraints, the element should add and/or modify programs, as appropriate.

Permit Streamlining Act: The element should clarify the process for complying with the Permit Streamlining Act (Government Code section 65950, subdivision (a) (5)) and Public Resource Code sections 21080.1 and 21080.2. In particular, the element should clarify whether decision-making occurs at the Zoning Administration Board or at the staff level. These provisions are critical to meeting the Permit Streamlining Act requirement and generally facilitate the processing of housing developments.

Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities: While the element concludes the definition of family or household is not restrictive and not a constraint on housing for persons with disabilities, it must provide analysis to demonstrate this conclusion or add or modify programs to address identified constraints. For example, the definition appears to require a single lease or rental agreement and shared living experiences which could act as a constraint on housing for persons with disabilities.

Requests for Lesser Densities: While the element (p. 93) states projects are built at a higher density within the City, the element must analyze requests to build at densities below those anticipated in the sites inventory, including hindrance on the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need.

Jordan Klein, Director

Programs: As noted above, the element requires a complete analysis of potential governmental and nongovernmental constraints. Depending upon the results of that analysis, the City may need to revise or add programs and address and remove or mitigate any identified constraints.

3. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c).)

Programs must demonstrate that they will have a beneficial impact within the planning period. Beneficial impact means a specific commitment to deliverables, measurable metrics or objectives, definitive deadlines, dates, or benchmarks for implementation. Deliverables should occur early in the planning period to ensure actual housing outcomes. Several programs and actions have timelines that could be moved earlier in the planning period to ensure a beneficial impact.

Examples include Programs 4 (Housing Trust Fund), 12 (Workforce Housing), 17 (Accessible Housing), 28 (BART Station Area Planning), 30 (Accessory Dwelling Units), 33 (Zoning Code Amendment: Residential) and 34 (Permit Processing).

4. Promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities and promote housing throughout the community or communities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, or disability, and other characteristics... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(5).)

The element (pp. 140-146) includes various affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) actions and provides “Citywide” targeting for most programs. While programs may benefit a multitude of neighborhoods, the element should evaluate key programs relative to specific neighborhoods for purposes of AFFH, including promoting housing mobility and new housing choices and affordability in higher resource or higher income areas. For example, several key programs to add housing opportunities in higher resource or income areas could benefit from geographic targeting. In addition, the element should include a mid-term evaluation of progress and effectiveness of AFFH action and commit to make adjustments as appropriate within a specified time (e.g., six months) to better achieve AFFH goals.

The element will meet the statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law once it has been revised and adopted to comply with the above requirements.

Jordan Klein, Director

Public participation in the development, adoption, and implementation of the housing element is essential to effective housing planning. Throughout the housing element process, the City should continue to engage the community, including organizations that represent lower-income and special needs households, by making information regularly available and considering and incorporating comments where appropriate. Please be aware, any revisions to the element must be posted on the local government’s website and to email a link to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting to HCD.

Several federal, state, and regional funding programs consider housing element compliance as an eligibility or ranking criteria. For example, the CalTrans Senate Bill (SB) 1 Sustainable Communities grant; the Strategic Growth Council and HCD’s Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities programs; and HCD’s Permanent Local Housing Allocation consider housing element compliance and/or annual reporting requirements pursuant to Government Code section 65400. With a compliant housing element, the City will meet housing element requirements for these and other funding sources.

For your information, some general plan element updates are triggered by housing element adoption. HCD reminds the City to consider timing provisions and welcomes the opportunity to provide assistance. For information, please see the Technical Advisories issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research at:
https://www.opr.ca.gov/planning/general-plan/guidelines.html.

HCD appreciates the responsiveness, dedication, and collaboration the City’s housing element team provided during the review. We are committed to assisting the City in addressing all statutory requirements of State Housing Element Law. If you have any questions or need additional technical assistance, please contact Jose Ayala, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager

ATTACHMENT 5
City of Berkeley
Planning Commission
December 15, 2022
Dear Mr. Mayor and Council,
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended the Housing Element for your approval.

Because of the HCD deadline, the Commission left the draft unaltered, however, we collectively want to register a few thoughts with you.

1. There was strong sentiment from Commissioner Teresa Clarke, and general support from the Commission as a whole, to prioritize Program 27 which would increase housing capacity and growth along transit and commercial corridors in the highest resource neighborhoods. We ask that you consider this priority when budgeting and/or advising the City Manager on staff resources.

2. Both the Commission and the community voiced concerns about the risk of displacement, and we recommend that Council prioritize policies to prevent it, such as TOPA. The Commission is supportive of TOPA conceptually.

3. We commend Planning Staff for the clarity and depth of the Housing Element.

All the best,
Elisa Mikiten
Planning Commission Chair
