Report in Brief
Pursuant to State law, every city and county in California must adopt a housing element as part of its general plan. The housing element contains policies and programs to address the housing needs of all economic segments of the community over an eight- year planning cycle, which for Bay Area jurisdictions covers the period 2023 to 2031 (also known as the “sixth cycle”). State law requires Bay Area jurisdictions to adopt updated housing elements for the sixth cycle and submit them to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for certification by January 31, 2023.

On May 26, 2022, the City of Concord (City) released the first public draft of its Housing Element Update (HEU) for a 30-day public review period. On June 21, 2022, the City Council (Council) considered this draft, received public comments, and provided input

for a revised draft that was submitted to HCD on August 16, 2022 (Attachment 1).1 On November 14, 2022, HCD provided a letter to City staff with comments on the draft HEU (Attachment 2).

The purpose of this meeting is for Council to consider HCD’s comments and provide input on further revisions to the HEU to address HCD’s comments. Staff will incorporate Council’s input into a revised HEU and present it to the Planning Commission for a recommendation on January 19, 2023, and to Council for adoption on January 31, 2023. Upon adoption, staff will submit the revised HEU to HCD for certification, the final step in the HEU process.

Recommended Action
Consider comments from the California Department of Housing and Community Development on the City's draft Housing Element Update (HEU) and provide input to be incorporated into a revised HEU for adoption by the City Council, and make the CEQA determinations as provided in this staff report.

Background
Current Housing Element
On January 6, 2015, the Council adopted the City’s current Housing Element, which HCD certified on January 20, 2015, and covers the period of 2015 to 2022.2 Initial Council Direction
On June 22, 2021, staff provided Council with an overview of the Housing Element Update (HEU), and Council accepted public comments and provided direction to staff on the HEU advisory process and community engagement strategy. Specifically, Council:
 Designated the Housing and Economic Development Council Committee (HED Chair McGallian, member Aliano) as the lead advisory body for the HEU, with the responsibility to review and comment on all public documents in the Housing Element process, provide a dedicated forum for public testimony, discuss key policy issues, and make recommendations to the Council prior to final adoption.  Directed staff to consult with a variety of community-based organizations (CBOs) and other stakeholder groups regarding community engagement strategies for the HEU, and to consider how to incorporate this input into the HEU’s Community Engagement Plan.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
Community Engagement Process
An extensive and inclusive community engagement process is essential to a successful HEU and is required by State law.3 A detailed Community Engagement Summary is provided in Appendix F of the draft HEU. The engagement process was developed to be a multipronged and layered approach to reach as many different segments of the community as possible. As a result, the HEU project team had nearly 1,500 contacts with individual community members and worked with over 25 community groups through 14 events (both virtual and in-person) and an online survey. The following section summarizes key steps in the HEU community engagement process, and major themes expressed by participants.
 Initial Council and Stakeholder Input
On July 21 and 22, 2021, to implement Council’s direction, staff held eight one- hour “listening sessions” with representatives from 25 CBOs, business groups, and other key stakeholders to gather input on the HEU engagement process. On August 24, 2021, staff presented a Community Engagement Plan (“Plan”) incorporating this input to Council, and Council approved the Plan along with the consultant task order for the HEU.
 “Town Hall” Meetings
On October 16 and 19, 2021, the project team held two “town hall” meetings to introduce the community to the HEU process and obtain initial, high-level input. Approximately 17 community members participated in the in-person event on October 16, and the top priorities identified were senior housing, ensuring that new housing fits within the community’s physical character, and preventing people from losing their homes (displacement). Approximately 25 community members participated in the virtual event on October 19, and the top priorities identified were creating more affordable rental units and housing for unsheltered persons, persons with disabilities, and seniors, and preventing displacement.

On March 15 and 27, 2022, the project team held the second series of “town hall” events, which presented a preliminary inventory of potential housing sites, discussion of fair housing issues, and current City policies and programs that address displacement, and invited the public’s input on these topics. The March 15 event, which was held via Zoom, was attended by 58 persons, and 62 persons attended the March 27 event, which was held in person at Todos Santos Plaza. At the March 15 event, several community members and advocates spoke on their desire for greater tenant protections including rent control, and to locate new affordable housing throughout the City, including upper-income areas. At the March 27 event, which was an informal open house format, staff spoke with community members from many backgrounds, including four unsheltered persons and several Spanish- 3 Govt. Code § 65589(c)(9).

speaking persons (a translator was provided). Attendees included several members of First 5’s Central County Regional Group, an organization which advocates for lower-income Concordians.

On June 4 and 8, 2022, the project team held the third and final series of “town hall” events to present the entire draft HEU, with a focus on the proposed programs. 47 persons attended the June 4 event, which was held as an “open house” format at Todos Santos Plaza, and 14 persons attended the June 8 event, which was held via Zoom. At the June 4 event, the project team had several in-depth conversations with community members, most of whom were new to the process and wanted to better understand housing issues in Concord. The June 8 event featured a one-hour, open-ended discussion period, during which several community members and advocates spoke on their desire for greater tenant protections. Several speakers also stated that while the HEU identifies displacement as an ongoing issue, it does not contain sufficient actions to address that issue.
 HED Meetings
In its role as the advisory body for the HEU, the HED Committee considered key components of the HEU and received public testimony on three occasions. On February 28, 2022, the HEU project team provided the HED Committee with an overview of the following topics:
(1) policies and programs from the current or fifth cycle Housing Element that are recommended to be continued into the sixth cycle Housing Element;
(2) the City’s housing needs for the sixth cycle; and
(3) fair housing issues facing the City in accordance with new State laws regarding Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH).

Following the project team’s presentation, the HED Committee received public comment from several speakers. Major themes of public comment included the need to consider all available data on displacement issues and loss of affordable housing, including public testimony over the past several years, and the need for the fair housing analysis to be presented early in the HEU process. After public comment, HED Committee members requested that the project team consider all available data on displacement issues, bring forward potential anti-displacement policies as soon as possible, and address potential opportunities for increased home ownership.

On March 21, 2022, the project team provided the HED Committee with an overview of constraints on housing production and the preliminary inventory of sites available for housing development to satisfy the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). Following the presentation, the

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
Committee received public comment from several speakers. Several speakers stated that the preliminary inventory resulted in too much concentration of lower income4 housing sites in the western portion of the City (in and near Downtown and the Monument Corridor), and that these sites should be distributed throughout the City, including in more affluent areas to the south and east. One speaker requested several changes to the format of future town hall meetings to better facilitate public participation. After public comment, HED Committee members expressed similar concerns regarding concentration of lower income sites and requested that staff provide the presentation slides further in advance of the next meeting to allow more time for review.

On May 4, 2022, the project team informed the HED Committee that the sites inventory had been revised to reduce the concentration of lower-income sites in the western portion of the City. The project team also provided the Committee with an overview of proposed programs for the HEU, including a rezoning program that would allow for additional opportunities for lower- income sites outside of “low resource” areas5 of Concord (Attachment 4).

Additional discussion of the sites inventory and rezoning program is provided below. Staff also provided an overview of various Council actions around tenant protections since 2016, while noting that Council had chosen not to implement rent control or prohibit evictions without a pre-defined “just cause”.

Almost all speakers stated that the proposed programs do not adequately address displacement issues for low-income renters and should include rent control and prohibition of evictions without “just cause”. Several speakers stated that they appreciate the proposed rezoning program, but that the timeline for this program should be earlier than December 2026.

After public comment, Committee member Aliano stated that:
o He appreciates staff’s presentation and looks forward to discussion by Council at the study session on June 14;
4 In State housing element law, “lower-income” includes the “very-low income” and “low income” categories as defined by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. This term applies to housing that is affordable to households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income (AMI). It does not include housing for “moderate income” households (earning 80-120 percent of AMI) or “above moderate income” households (market-rate housing with no income restrictions). 5 This term comes from the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee’s (TCAC) Opportunity Maps (
https://www.treasurer.ca.gov/ctcac/opportunity.asp), which score all Census tracts in California based on access to various opportunities that are linked to critical life outcomes, such as education, employment, economic development, safe and decent housing, low rates of violent crime, transportation, and recreation. “Low Resource” indicates the lowest-scoring tracts on the Opportunity Maps, while “Highest Resource” indicates the highest-scoring tracts. The northern, central and western portions of Concord are designated as “Low Resource”. Pursuant to AB 686, HCD requires that jurisdictions consider these resource designations in developing their Affirmatively Further Fair Housing analysis and programs.

o He has concerns about transportation and parking issues on Monument Boulevard given that he believes public transportation is not a viable option for many residents in this area;
o He appreciates the inclusion of a rezoning program in the proposed programs; and
o His position on furthering tenant protections has not changed, and Council will need to provide direction on this issue on June 14.

After Committee member Aliano’s comments, Chair McGallian stated that:
o He also appreciates staff’s presentation;
o He agrees with Committee member Aliano’s comments about transportation and parking issues on Monument Boulevard; o He appreciates the potential for upzoning in the proposed rezoning program and he believes this is a significant step by the City given that upzoning is typically opposed by residents in most cities; and o He would like to receive further information on any pending legislation regarding investment companies purchasing housing units and/or short-term rental units.6
 Community Survey
To engage with a broader range of community members than would be possible with the above events, the project team also prepared an online survey of housing issues. The survey was open from December 15, 2021, through March 31, 2022. Gift cards were offered to encourage greater participation, and a total of 846 participants completed the survey. A detailed discussion of the survey results is available in Appendix F of the draft HEU.

Below are some of the most noteworthy survey results:
o Concord residents selected affordability, proximity to family and friends, and proximity to work (in that order) as their top reasons for choosing to live in Concord.
o Concord residents who took the survey were 75 percent homeowners and 24 percent renters.
o About 30 percent of respondents said they have experienced, or are experiencing, homelessness.
6 After the HED meeting, staff provided the Committee with information on two pending State bills that would address this issue, AB 2170 and AB 1850. AB 2170 is aimed at “giving more Californians the chance to own a home by giving owner-occupants and public entities a “First Look” at purchasing bank- owned properties, and by prohibiting “bulk sales” of foreclosed homes.” AB 1850 (Ward) which prohibits a city, county, or joint powers authority from acquiring unrestricted, multifamily housing unless the development meets specified criteria, which includes affordability and rental restrictions.

o Respondents ranked priorities for new housing in the following order:

1. Locate new housing throughout the City, not just in lower- income areas (selected by 51.4 percent of respondents).

2. Locate new housing near transit, amenities, jobs and services (selected by 49.5 percent of respondents).

3. Prioritize redevelopment of vacant or underutilized commercial properties (selected by 43.5 percent of respondents).

4. Preserve the character of existing lower-density neighborhoods (selected by 34.2 percent of respondents).
o Respondents indicated the following as their greatest concerns regarding displacement:

1. Long-term residents cannot afford to stay in the community.

2. Sudden rent increases.

3. Sudden lease termination.
 Pop-Up Events
The project team has also conducted the following “pop-up” events to provide further opportunities for community engagement:
o Music and Market, Todos Santos Plaza, September 30, 2021 o Farmer’s Market, Todos Santos Plaza, October 12, 2021 o The Veranda, December 11, 2021
o Concord and North Concord BART Stations, June 13 and 15, 2022, respectively
o Las Montañas Supermarket, June 16, 2022
Summary of Draft HEU
As noted earlier, the City released the draft HEU for public review on May 26, 2022.

This section summarizes the major components of this draft. Subsequent revisions to the draft are summarized in the “Council Input on Draft HEU” section below.  Housing Goals
The Housing Element identifies the following five goals to address the City’s housing needs during the sixth cycle. These goals are essentially the same as the fifth cycle goals, but with revised language that expresses the desired “end state” for each goal. Each goal also has a series of more detailed implementing policies; see the draft HEU for these policies.
o Goal 1: A balanced supply of housing types, densities, and prices to meet the needs of all income groups residing or who wish to reside in Concord.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
o Goal 2: Preserved and enhanced neighborhoods that improve quality of life for all residents.
o Goal 3: A City with housing opportunities for all special housing needs, including households with older adults, persons with disabilities, female- headed households, large families, and people experiencing homelessness.
o Goal 4: A City with equal housing opportunity and access for all people regardless of race, religion, gender, marital status, age, ancestry, national origin, color, sexual orientation, familial status, source of income, or disability.
o Goal 5: A sustainable City that protects the environment while lowering the cost of energy.
 Draft Programs
The HEU’s programs section is the key component of the document, as it is built from the other components of the HEU and identifies the concrete actions that the City will take over the next eight years to address its housing needs. The proposed programs are provided in Section 1.5 of the HEU. Each program addresses a different housing issue (e.g., ADUs, homelessness, etc.) and provides objectives, timeframes, responsible agencies, funding sources, relevant HEU policies, and AFFH information. The draft sixth cycle HEU has a different format that results in fewer programs than the fifth cycle HEU (23 vs. 78), but each program contains multiple actions which are similar in format to the fifth cycle HEU programs.

The programs can generally be grouped into three main categories:
o Programs already being conducted by the City which are effective and should be continued.
o New programs required by the State, including Development Code amendments to bring the City’s code into conformance with State law; and o New programs not directly required by the State but proposed by the City to address its housing needs.

Because the complete list of HEU programs is very lengthy and includes many programs already being conducted by the City, the following list includes only the most substantial and noteworthy new programs in the HEU:
o Adopt financial and regulatory incentives for affordable ADUs (required by State law).
o Allow projects with 20 percent affordable units by right on specified sites (required by State law).

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
o Initiate County-level discussion of community land trusts and a regional housing trust fund.
o Rezone properties to provide additional opportunities outside of lower resource areas.
o Expand the City’s inclusionary (below market-rate) requirements to include rental and condominium projects.
o Adopt objective design standards to streamline the development process (given that the City’s current subjective standards are no longer applicable under State law).
o Remove covered parking requirement for multifamily housing projects. o Allow religious institutions to remove parking in order to provide housing (required by State law).
o Adopt a tenant anti-harassment protection ordinance.
o Appropriate $2.4 million dollars7 for development and implementation of a Strategic Plan on homelessness.
o Utilize $1.25 million dollars in grant funds to provide housing navigation, support services, and 6 to 12 months of rental subsidy to rapidly rehouse people experiencing homelessness for the next 5 years, or longer if funding is available.
o Hire a Community Services Manager whose role will include a focus on homelessness issues by July 2022.
 Review of Fifth Cycle Programs (Appendix A):

California Government Code Section 65588(a) requires each jurisdiction to regularly review its housing element and evaluate the following:
o the progress in implementation of the Housing Element; o the effectiveness of the Housing Element programs in progress toward achieving the housing goals and objectives; and
o the appropriateness of the housing goals, objectives, and policies, and in contributing to the attainment of the State housing goal.

As required by State law, Appendix A provides a detailed review of all 78 programs of the City’s current Housing Element. This review concludes that approximately 80 percent of the current programs were effective (at least in part) 7 On September 27, 2022, the City Council allocated an additional $3 million dollars of one-time American Rescue Act Plan (ARPA) funding towards implementing policies developed through the Homeless Strategic Plan, bringing the total amount up to $5.4 M. This new number will be updated in the next version of the HEU..

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a

and should be continued into the HEU, but with clear, quantifiable objectives as required by State law. The programs proposed for deletion were either ineffective or, more commonly, have already been incorporated into the City’s routine practices through code amendments and no longer require a dedicated program.

In some cases, programs proposed for deletion are being addressed by a new program that covers the same topic.
 Housing Needs Assessment (Appendix B):

California Government Code Section 65583(a)(1&2) requires each jurisdiction to prepare a Housing Needs Assessment with detailed information on demographic characteristics and trends that influence supply and demand for various housing types in Concord, including population, income, age, race/ethnicity, housing condition, employment, and groups with special needs (e.g., older adults, persons with disabilities, and persons experiencing homelessness). This information helps to inform the goals, objectives, policies, programs, and activities proposed in the HEU.

Below are key findings of the Needs Assessment8:
o By 2035, Concord is expected to grow by 34.1 percent, roughly twice the rate of Contra Costa County (17.8 percent). Development of the former Concord Naval Weapons Station will contribute a large portion of this growth.
o The age group with the highest growth rate was older adults (65 and older), at 42.1 percent (from 11.3 to 15 percent of the total population). o Concord became increasingly diverse in terms of race/ethnicity, with all groups except White increasing in size and percentage of the total population.
o Unemployment decreased by approximately 38 percent, while the number of residents not in the labor force increased by approximately 20 percent (most likely primarily driven by the growing number of retirees). o Black/African American persons and persons of two or more races experienced the highest levels of unemployment, at 12.2 and 9.9 percent, respectively. These rates were substantially higher than the overall unemployment rate of 3.4 percent.
o Average household size remained roughly the same, at 2.75 persons (versus 2.67 persons in 2010).
o The number of owner-occupied units decreased slightly (by 1.5 percent) while the number of rental units increased substantially (by 11.8 percent). 8 Data are from 2010 to 2019, unless noted.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
o The overall housing vacancy rate decreased from 6.6 to 3.4 percent. Five percent is commonly considered a “healthy” vacancy rate. o Over three quarters (76.3 percent) of Concord’s housing stock was built before 1980.
o Numbers in all categories of annual household income decreased as a percentage of total population, except for those earning less than $5,000 and those earning $75,000 or greater. The number of households earning $150,000 or more saw the largest increase, 88.6 percent. This data generally indicates that the working-class population of Concord has been declining, while the extremely low-income and middle- and upper-class populations have been increasing.
o Growth rates in median household income compared with housing prices provide an indicator of whether housing is becoming more or less affordable. For owner-occupied units, median household income grew by

29.4 percent while median home sales price grew by 17.2 percent. For renter-occupied households this trend was reversed, with household income growing by 36.6 percent while median rents grew by 44.4 percent. o In 2017, approximately 38.9 percent of Concord households spent more than 30 percent of their income on housing and are therefore considered “cost burdened.” Approximately 17.4 percent of households spent more than 50 percent and are considered “severely cost burdened.” Hispanic/Latinx and Black/African American households have substantially higher rates of cost burden than the overall population, with 33.8 percent of Black households being severely cost burdened.
o The number of households qualifying as “overcrowded” (one to 1.5 occupants per room) increased by 41.3 percent (from 1,779, or 4 percent of total households, to 2,514, or 5.4 percent of total households), while the number qualifying as “severely overcrowded” (over 1.5 occupants per room) increased by 138.7 percent (from 509, or 1.1 percent of total households, to 1,215, or 2.6 percent of total households). o 160 unsheltered Concord residents were identified in the 2020 Point In Time (PIT) count. This represents about 31 percent of the unsheltered persons in Central Contra Costa County, and about 10 percent of the total unsheltered persons Countywide.
o The total count of persons in 2020 experiencing homelessness (both sheltered and unsheltered) was 252. This represents a 15.7-percent decrease from the 2015 count of 299 persons.

 Constraints and Zoning Analysis (Appendix C):

California Government Code Sections 65583(a)(5) and (6) require each jurisdiction to prepare an analysis of actual and potential governmental constraints for each of the following:
o Land use controls.
o Building codes and their enforcement.
o Site improvement requirements.
o Fees and other exactions.
o Local processing and permit procedures.
o Housing for persons with disabilities.
o Transitional housing and supportive housing as a residential use of property and subject only to those restrictions that apply to other residential dwellings of the same type in the same zone.

The Constraints and Zoning Analysis identifies the following as constraints on housing production that should be addressed in Concord’s HEU programs:
o Requiring Design and Site Review for manufactured housing on existing lots, transitional and supportive housing, Low-Barrier Navigation Centers, emergency shelters, group housing (single-room occupancy units or SROs), large residential care facilities.
o Low-Barrier Navigation Centers are not identified as a use in the City’s Development Code (State law required this use to be permitted by right).

Concord follows this State law, but the zoning code does not reflect it at this time.
o Requiring a Minor Use Permit for large residential care facilities. o Requiring covered parking for multifamily residential uses. o Subjective design standards throughout the City’s Development Code9. o Lack of clarity regarding review procedures for Minor and Major Hillside Development Permit.
o Water and sewer connection fees (identified as a possible constraint). 9 Under recent State law (SB 330), housing developments with two or more units cannot be denied based on subjective design standards. However, HCD is still requiring jurisdictions to amend their codes so that only objective standards are applied to housing developments. An effort to adopt objective design standards for Concord is already underway and has been included in Program 15 of the draft HEU.

 Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Analysis (Appendix D):

The requirement for AFFH analysis was established by AB 686 in 2018. This bill requires “an assessment of fair housing practices, an analysis of the relationship between available sites and areas of high or low resources10, and concrete actions in the form of programs to affirmatively further fair housing.” Key findings of the HEU’s AFFH analysis are as follows:
o Disparities in access to housing opportunity can be seen for non-White households, which are more likely to be renters than Whites, due to renter households seeing higher rates of cost burden. This indicates that non- White households are disproportionately burdened by the cost of housing. o With the exception of areas to the southeast, overall “access to opportunity” as defined by the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) is “low” to “moderate” in much of Concord (see Attachment 4 for map).11 This further constrains affordable housing development in Concord, as access to opportunity is a key criterion in how TCAC awards tax credits, which are a primary funding source for affordable housing projects. o Displacement is an increasing concern for City residents. Local knowledge identified through public outreach is that affordable housing is being converted to market-rate housing at a relatively high rate. Although data is not available, this may include units that have never been subject to a deed restriction and are therefore not monitored. Based on analysis from UC Berkeley’s Urban Displacement Project, those at risk of displacement are more likely to be non-White households, particularly those residing in the southwest area where patterns of overcrowding and concentrated poverty exist.

As noted earlier, AB 686 requires “meaningful actions” to address the fair housing issues in the community, and the previous draft HEU includes several programs intended to meet this requirement. As discussed in the Analysis section below, staff has recommended additional AFFH actions and enhancements to previously identified actions in order to address HCD’s comments on this topic.
 Sites Analysis (Appendix E):

The following discussion is based on the previous draft HEU and does not reflect changes to the sites inventory discussed in the Analysis section below. California Government Code Section 65583(a)(3) requires jurisdictions to prepare an inventory of sites or parcels adequate to meet their Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). The City’s draft Sites Analysis provides this inventory in table 10 See footnote 5.
11 See footnote 5.

and map format. While many Bay Area jurisdictions are substantially built out and must rezone properties to create adequate capacity to meet their RHNA, Concord has adequate capacity not only to meet its RHNA without rezoning, but also to provide a “buffer” of 712 units (about 24.7 percent) for the lower- and moderate-income RHNA. Table 4 below summarizes the City’s capacity.

The sites inventory is required to designate sites that can meet the State’s criteria for lower-income and moderate-income projects. As discussed below, the current draft of the sites inventory incorporates community and HED Committee input by reducing the concentration of lower-income sites in the western portion of the City (in and near the Downtown and Monument Corridor).

As noted above, the draft sites inventory addressed community and HED Committee input regarding the concentration of lower-income sites in the western portion of the City (in and near the Downtown and Monument Corridor). Figures 1 and 2 show the previous and current maps for the entire City, and Figures 3 and 12 Pipeline projects includes projects that received Planning approval but are not anticipated to complete construction prior to June 30, 2022.
13 While a minimum of 25 percent affordable units is required for the Concord Reuse Project, no affordable units are assumed prior to 2031 to keep the HEU’s assumptions conservative. 14 Buffer units are not assigned to an income category. HCD’s recommendation for a 15-30% buffer does not apply for Above Moderate units since these are easier to produce.

4 show previous and current maps for the Downtown and Monument Corridor areas. Lower-income sites are identified as green.

The previous sites inventory maximized the number of lower-income sites by identifying any sites that met the State’s criteria for lower-income housing as lower-income sites, even if they exceeded the City’s RHNA and the recommended 15-30 percent buffer. The lower-income criteria include a minimum density of 30 units per acre, and sites meeting this threshold tend to be located in the central and western portions of Concord. Consequently, the approach of maximizing lower-income sites resulted in a larger concentration of lower-income sites in this area.

The current sites inventory reduces the concentration of lower-income sites in several ways:
o Several large sites outside of the Downtown and Monument Corridor have been added, allowing lower-income sites in these areas to be removed.

The additional sites include the North Concord BART parking lot (776 units), the Terminal Shopping Center at 2699 Clayton Road (256 units), and the vacant site formerly occupied by Lin’s Buffet at 1400 Willow Pass Road (111 units).
o Several large sites in the Downtown have been added, allowing a greater number of smaller sites in the Downtown to be removed. The additional sites include the east parcel of the city-owned Oak Street site (180 units), and the “Hawaiian BBQ” site at 1680 Willow Pass Road (140 units).

Because these sites were not identified in previous Housing Elements, they will not be subject to the State law that requires “by right” approval for projects with 20 percent affordable units on previously identified housing element sites.
o Buffer sites (those sites that exceed the City’s RHNA) have been given a generic “buffer” designation rather than an income category, since State law does not require income designations for buffer sites.

While these changes have allowed a greater mix of income levels throughout the City, there are still no lower-income sites in the more affluent southern and eastern parts of Concord. Sites were not identified in the area because these areas have fewer vacant and underutilized properties or a higher improvement to land value ratio, and because such properties often do not meet the minimum density required by State law for lower-income sites. To increase geographic equity and opportunities for lower-income residents, the draft HEU includes a program to rezone areas not identified as “low resource” on the TCAC opportunity maps for higher densities (see HEU Section 1.5, Program 8).

 Community Engagement Summary (Appendix F):

This document provides detailed information on the City’s efforts to gather public input for the draft HEU. See the “Community Engagement Process” section above for further discussion.
 Community Input and Council Actions on Displacement Since 2016 (Appendix G):

As discussed earlier, at the HED Committee meeting on February 28, 2022, community members provided input that previous testimony on displacement issues should be incorporated into the HEU process, and the HED Committee concurred with this request. To address the direction from the HED Committee, this appendix includes a detailed summary of public testimony received by the City Council since 2016, along with actions taken by the Council to increase tenant protections and reduce the risk of displacement.

Council Input on Draft HEU
On June 21, 2022, the City Council considered the above draft, received public comments, and directed staff to make the following revisions prior to submitting the HEU to HCD:
 To address concerns regarding neighborhood impacts from large residential care facilities, revise Program 2 (Addressing Constraints to Development) to maintain current discretionary permit requirements for such facilities.  To address concerns about lack of parking, remove multi-family parking reductions from Program 16, and limit reductions for religious institutions to the minimum required by State law.
 To address concerns regarding displacement, evaluate best practices and report back to Council regarding a potential Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act (TOPA) and Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (COPA). This was added to the current draft HEU as Objective 10.4.
 To address concerns regarding conversion of dwelling units to short-term rentals (e.g. Airbnb’s), evaluate best practices and report Council regarding a potential ordinance to regulate such conversions. This was added to the current draft HEU as Program 24.
 Revise Program 20 (Tenant Protections) to accelerate the timeline for outreach regarding the City’s new tenant anti-harassment ordinance.  Add a summary of all tenant protection and housing programs and services provided by the City in the past several years. This was added as Section 1.5 of the current draft HEU.
 Include additional actions (such as working with regional partners) to advocate for funding and legislation that will address the needs of the unsheltered and

construction of affordable housing. This was included in Program 25 of the revised draft HEU.

The Council also discussed whether a program regarding rent control and just cause eviction should be added to the HEU. A majority of the Council did not support this change.

Analysis
HCD Comments and Proposed Revisions
HCD’s November 14, 2022, letter provides 63 individual comments, which have been categorized based on various topics and sections of the HEU. Attachment 3 provides a matrix with a brief summary of HCD’s comments and staff’s proposed responses. Cells highlighted yellow will require additional programs and policies, which are discussed below to address HCD’s comments 51 of these comments are categorized as “minor,” while the remaining eleven comments are described as “major.” “Minor” comments are those that do not require any new policies or programs from the draft HEU previously reviewed by Council and can be addressed through minor revisions or clarifications. “Major” comments, discussed below and highlighted in yellow in Attachment 3, are those that will require new or substantially revised programs. The comment numbers and titles below correspond to the HCD letter and Attachment 3.

Many of HCD’s comments request further analysis and indicate that the City may need to add new or revised programs based on that analysis. Based on the project team’s experience working with HCD, such comments are rarely addressed through analysis alone, and typically require new, revised, or enhanced programs. Accordingly, the project team has developed the following proposed revisions to address HCD’s underlying policy concerns and will increase the likelihood that HCD will certify the adopted HEU. However, in order to provide the Council with options, the project team has also developed alternate revisions, where possible. These alternate revisions may either not be adequate for HCD certification or were not supported by the majority of the Council in June 2022, the last time the Council provided direction on the draft HEU.

However, the Council may want to revisit these policies in response to HCD’s and the public’s comments in order to obtain certification of the HEU.

HCD’s comments and the proposed program revisions have been categorized by topic (e.g. AFFH, governmental constraints), and the recommended new programs and/or program revisions are designed to address those specific topics and comments.

Therefore, program substitutions from one area into another area may not appropriately address HCD’s concerns. For example, a program that addresses affirmatively furthering fair housing cannot be substituted with a program addressing governmental constraints.

A discussion of the consequences of delaying HCD certification is provided in the next section.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
 A.1 – Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
 HCD Comment #6 – Local Data and Knowledge and Other Relevant Factors15
Summary: This comment states: “The element should complement federal, state, and regional data with local data and knowledge where appropriate to capture emerging trends and issues, including utilizing knowledge from local and regional advocates, public comments, and service providers.” The opening portion of HCD’s letter also states that “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.”16 HCD’s letter also notes that HCD considered comments from several affordable housing advocates that submitted letters on the draft HEU.

Discussion: Government Code Section 65583(c)(10)(A)(ii) requires that the HEU’s AFFH analysis include the “local data and knowledge” cited above, including “racially and or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty and affluence, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs, including displacement risk.” According to one of the advocate letters HCD considered, “54 out of 65 of the individuals or organizations who submitted comments on the Draft (83%) called for more robust tenant protections, including rent stabilization and just cause eviction policies”, and “63% of commenters and 64% of comments [at public hearings on tenant protections prior to the HEU process] were in favor of tenant protections”.17
Based on the above HCD comments, State law, and the preponderance of public comments in favor of additional tenant protections and other revisions described below, it is highly unlikely that HCD will certify the City’s HEU if it does not substantially address these comments.

Proposed Program Revisions: This is a general comment to provide the context and framework of how HCD is considering engagement and public participation throughout the HEU process. While no proposed program revisions are directly related to this comment, this comment informed and directed the recommendations contained below.

 HCD Comment #4 – RECAP (Racially/Ethnically Concentrated Area of Poverty)18
Summary: This comment pertains to a portion of the Monument Corridor (shown in Figure 5 below) which the draft HEU identified as a RECAP based on the most recent federal definition and maps.19 As discussed below, this area no longer qualifies but HCD still requires analysis of previously identified RECAPs. The comment requests further analysis of “quality of life conditions” (e.g., housing, infrastructure, parks, etc.) and “the effectiveness or absence of past strategies related to [creating an] equitable quality of life.”
Figure 5. Monument Corridor RECAP Boundary
Discussion: As noted above, the area in Figure 5 no longer qualifies as a RECAP using HUD’s current definition and the most recent Census data.

This area continues to exhibit substantial racial segregation and poverty, 18 HCD, November 14, 2022, Appendix, p. 1.
19 The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) defines “racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty” as “geographic area[s] with significant concentrations of poverty and minority concentrations.” Per current HUD guidelines, this designation applies to Census tracts with a non-White population of 50 percent or greater, and a poverty rate exceeding 40 percent or three times the overall poverty rate, whichever is lower. See HUD’s “AFFH Rule Guidebook”, December 31, 2015 for further details. HUD last published RECAP maps in 2018, prior to the 2020 Census.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a

even if income levels have risen above the RECAP poverty threshold.

Public testimony states that gentrification may be contributing to this change, which raises displacement concerns for HCD. Furthermore, the HEU identifies significant racial and economic disparities throughout Concord, as shown in the TCAC Opportunity Maps (Attachment 4). State AFFH laws require agencies to address such disparities in their HEU programs, including through “Place Based Investments” that target new investment toward low-resource areas.

For these reasons, staff believes that the underlying thrust of HCD’s comment on the RECAP would still apply to the low-resource segregated areas of Concord even if no RECAP analysis were required, and staff is recommending additional programs to respond to HCD’s comments on this issue (see below).

Data from the City’s Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) since 2016 indicate that public investments in recent years have generally been evenly distributed across the City and have not favored affluent areas over lower-income ones. Data also indicate that City parks (including Cambridge Park in the RECAP) are all in good condition, and that average pavement conditions Citywide have no correlation to neighborhood income level. Based on these data, the level of public investment in infrastructure and amenities is likely not a major factor in perpetuating Concord’s RECAP.

Based on HCD’s AFFH guidance and comments on the draft HEU, staff believes that additional targeted investment and the implementation of place-based strategies in the City’s low-resource areas, including this former RECAP area, will be necessary to obtain HCD certification.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU will be updated to note that Concord would not have a RECAP using the most recent Census data. As part of the AFFH analysis in Appendix D, the project team will include additional information on the existing conditions of the former RECAP area. Staff also recommends the following new programs to address these disparities (see under HCD Comment #7 for additional programs targeted toward higher resource areas):
 Continue the City’s practice of investing at least 50 percent of its capital improvement budget in the City’s low-resource areas (as shown on TCAC Opportunity Maps) during the first half of the sixth cycle (2023-2027). In addition to this baseline amount, complete a project of at least one million dollars in one of these areas (with priority given to areas of high racial and economic segregation),

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
with a focus on improving safety and mobility (e.g., bikeways, pedestrian improvements, pavement rehabilitation, and safe routes to schools).
 Conduct targeted outreach to inform residents of the City’s low- resource areas (with priority given to areas of high racial and economic segregation) regarding available social services, programs, and available funding.
 Commit at least 20 percent of the Cannabis Community Benefit Fund to the City’s low-resource areas (with priority given to areas of high racial and economic segregation), and identify qualifying projects (e.g. workforce development, small business assistance, improving quality of life and economic opportunity, and public improvements, etc.) which would be informed by a community outreach process.
 Consult with local businesses20 in the Monument Corridor to spend $150,000 in settlement funds to advance small business
development and economic vitality in the Monument Corridor.  Seek project partners, and if successful in doing so, apply for State Project Homekey funds for acquisition and rehabilitation of an at- risk apartment building and/or a “nuisance” motel in or near the RECAP, or other areas in the City, for permanently affordable housing.
 Add a program to conduct targeted outreach to residents of low- resource, racially and economic segregated areas regarding their right to use Housing Choice (i.e. Section 8) Vouchers (HCVs) in any area of Concord. Conduct outreach to owners of rental properties in moderate- to highest-resource areas of Concord regarding their obligation to accept HCVs from qualifying applicants. This program would include notification regarding protection for HCVs in Senate Bill (SB) 9 and ADU application materials.

 HCD Comment #7 – Identified Sites and AFFH21
Summary: This comment requests further analysis to demonstrate the City’s sites inventory will meet the State’s AFFH mandate, which includes “taking meaningful actions … that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities.”22 The comment requests analysis of “any isolation of the RHNA by income group and whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., anti-displacement strategies).”
Other Related HCD Comments: #3, #5, and #58
Discussion: This comment aligns with numerous public comments regarding the lack of lower-income housing opportunities in the more affluent areas of the City, as well as potential displacement impacts from the construction of moderate- and above-moderate income housing in the lower-resource areas of the City. As noted earlier, Program 8 of the draft HEU already commits the City to rezoning properties outside of Concord’s lower-resource areas by 2026. However, this program needs to be modified with more robust and concrete goals to satisfy this comment and obtain HCD certification. Staff also believes that HCD will ultimately require additional anti-displacement measures to address continued economic pressures on lower-income tenants, which are driven in part by increasing rents, a lack of affordable housing, and construction of moderate- and above-moderate income housing in the immediate vicinity.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU project team will add further analysis regarding this issue. Staff also recommends the following program revisions:
 Revise the rezoning program in Program 8 (Objective 8.6) that addresses housing opportunities in higher resource areas as follows:
o Add objective metrics of 20 acres, 60 units per acre, and at least 1,000 total units on sites meeting the State’s criteria for lower-income RHNA sites.
o Directly target the City’s most racially and economically segregated higher-resource areas for this rezoning, using not only Tax Credit Allocation Committee resource areas, 21 HCD, November 14, 2022, Appendix, p. 2.
22 HCD AFFH Guidance, April 2021, p. 9.

City Council Agenda Report

January 17, 2023
but also other segregation indices such as the Equity Atlas23 and the State’s Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (see maps in Attachment 9). Seek community input
regarding this effort.
o Accelerate timeline for completion of rezoning to 2024 rather than 2026. This change will require delaying code
amendments to implement SB 9 and SB 35; however, the
City is already following these State statutes without a local ordinance, and would continue to do so.
o Within six months following the completion of rezoning, work with property owners to proactively identify prime sites, notify affordable housing developers of these sites, and provide technical assistance and priority processing for affordable projects without adding an additional “priority processing” charge. Include site information in the Affordable Housing Toolkit (Program 3).
 Revise Program 9 (Middle Housing) to specify that an ADU and a JADU will be allowed in addition to the two conventional dwelling units provided for by SB 9 within a single-family residential district, potentially allowing up to eight units to be created on a single-family zoned property.24
 Revise Objective 10.4 (evaluation of TOPA/COPA programs) to include consideration of potential funding sources, through identification of partner organizations/agencies, to facilitate lower- income tenants’ usage of this program, if adopted.
23 PolicyLink/USC Equity Research Institute, National Equity Atlas, www.nationalequityatlas.org. 24 With the passage of SB 9, which provides for construction of two residential units per lot, State law requires cities to allow up to four total units, which could include primary residential units, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and/or junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) on a single-family residential zoned lot. SB 9 also allows for ministerial lot splits of a single-family residential zoned lot; however, a jurisdiction processing a qualifying SB 9 lot split is not required to allow more than two total units (primary, ADU, or JADU) per lot subdivided using SB 9. While some cities have adopted SB 9 implementing ordinances to enforce this limitation authorized by Government Code section 66411.7(j), SB 9 provides cities the flexibility to allow up to four total units (two primary residential, one ADU, and one JADU) on each SB 9 subdivided lot by allowing SB 9 lots splits to be used in combination with the other provisions of SB 9 as well as ADU and JADU laws. Adopting a more expansive utilization of SB 9 could increase the number of allowed units on a single-family residential zoned (potentially lot up to eight total units (four on each SB 9 subdivided lot) where only three total units were allowed pre-SB 9. The implementation of this project would provide increased opportunities to affirmatively further fair housing by increasing the density and additional housing opportunities in single-family residential districts.

 Pursue additional funding for preservation and production of affordable housing, including, but not limited to:
o Annual applications to available State and regional funding programs (see Objectives 8.4 and 8.5).
o Place an initiative on the ballot in November 2024 for a local tax measure to provide a consistent funding source to
augment the City’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund for.
 Develop regulations to allow deed-restricted affordable cottages/tiny homes on religious properties by 2024.

Alternate Program Revisions:
 Adopt a rent stabilization ordinance exceeding the tenant protections of State law (AB 1482) by 2024.
 Adopt a just cause eviction ordinance by 2024.
 Increase densities in proximity to transit stops along Clayton Road to 50-75 dwelling units per acre (DUA), rather than simply meeting the minimum of 30 DUA to satisfy State criteria for lower-income sites.
 A.3 – Sites Inventory
 HCD Comment #27 – Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:

Emergency Shelters25
Summary: This comment requests additional analysis to demonstrate that the City’s emergency shelter regulations and development standards are not a constraint on the development of such shelters. The focus of the comment is on distancing and proximity to transit requirements as well as to clarify that shelters are allowed by right. The comment states that the HEU “must analyze distancing requirements for emergency shelters such as distance from schools, libraries, residential zones and requirements that emergency shelters must be located on transit routes, and the various facility requirements.” The comment further states that the HEU “must clarify if emergency shelters are allowed by right (without discretion) in the 25 “Emergency shelters” means housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. This includes facilities that provide temporary housing, meals, showers, and other related services to persons who are homeless and where on-site supervision is provided whenever the shelter is occupied, operated by a public or nonprofit agency. Specialized programs and services related to the needs of the residents may also be provided.

This classification does not include emergency shelters set up for disaster relief which are allowed in any zoning district or group homes that provide accommodations for a longer term.

identified zones i.e., OBP [Office Business Park], IBP [Industrial Business Park], and IMX [Industrial Mixed-Use].”
Discussion: Under Program 22, the draft HEU already commits to amending the Development Code to clarify that emergency shelters are not subject to the Design and Site Review process, to ensure a by-right process in conformance with AB 139. However, as discussed above regarding HCD’s overall approach, their request for additional analysis indicates they will be seeking an additional program to simplify the City’s emergency shelter regulations.

It should also be noted that the State recently adopted new requirements for emergency shelters under AB 2339. As discussed further in Attachment 10, these requirements include that zoning districts allowing shelters without a discretionary permit must allow residential uses, and that agencies must provide additional analysis of potential shelter sites.

These new requirements would only apply to drafts of the City’s HEU that are submitted to HCD on or after April 1, 2023. However, the City would still have the option to comply with these requirements when implementing the emergency shelter amendments already proposed in the HEU.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU project team will add further analysis regarding this issue. Staff also recommends the following program addition:
 Amend and simplify the emergency shelter regulations, including distancing and transit access requirements, maximum bed count, and other facility requirements.
 A.4 – Government Constraints
 HCD Comment #33 – Local Processing and Permit Procedures26 Summary: The City’s Development Code requires a Use Permit for multi- family housing in the Commercial Office (CO), Commercial Mixed Use (CMX), Downtown Mixed Use (DMX), Downtown Pedestrian (PD), and Neighborhood Commercial (NC) districts (see zoning map in Attachment 9). This comment asks the City to identify the required findings in these districts and “address impacts on housing cost, supply, timing and approval certainty.” Notably, the comment further states that “subjecting multifamily housing to [a Use Permit] in zones where multifamily housing is already allowed is generally considered a constraint.” 26 HCD, November 14, 2022, Appendix, p. 7.

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
Other Related HCD Comments: #32
Discussion: Because the comment already indicates that HCD considers the Use Permit requirement to be a constraint, it is likely that the City will need to modify this requirement to obtain certification of the HEU. The existing Use Permit requirement allows the City the opportunity to ensure there are a blend of uses, including adequate commercial space to promote active street frontages and economic vitality. Staff recommends this issue be addressed through the code amendments listed below.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU project team will add further discussion regarding the Use Permit findings for multi-family housing in commercial districts. Staff also recommends the following program revision:
 Amend the Development Code to allow multi-family housing by right in the CO, CMX, DMX, DP, and NC districts when objective standards are met. Develop minimum standards for commercial space in these districts (including for mixed-use projects), with an exception process for non-compliant projects.
 HCD Comment #34 – Design Review27
Summary: “Analyze the [Design Review] approval timelines, procedures and decision-making criteria for potential constraints on housing supply, affordability, and timing. Demonstrate this process is not a constraint or include a program to address, as appropriate.”
Other Related HCD Comments: #32
Discussion: This is a frequent comment from HCD and usually culminates in a requirement to eliminate discretionary Design Review procedures for multi-family housing developments. The City is already developing objective design standards for such projects, which would facilitate a ministerial Design Review process.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU project team will add further discussion regarding the City’s Design Review process. Staff also recommends the following program revision:
27 HCD, November 14, 2022, Appendix, p. 7.

 Amend the Development Code’s Design and Site Review
procedures to require staff-level ministerial review for multi-family housing projects, utilizing only objective design standards.  HCD Comment #40 – Housing for Persons with Disabilities: Group Housing Parking28
Summary: Group housing is “a facility that provides shared living quarters with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities,” such as rooming and boardinghouses and dormitories. The Development Code requires one parking space per bed or bedroom for a group housing project, and two to four spaces for single-family dwellings, depending on the number of bedrooms. Group housing projects must also provide guest parking, which is not required for single-family dwellings.

HCD’s comment states that the above parking “requirements are a constraint on providing housing for persons with disabilities and requires [sic] more parking spaces than other similar uses in these zones (i.e., single family residences). The element must analyze this requirement and include a program to address the constraint.”
Other Related HCD Comments: #32
Discussion: This housing type is an important source of affordable housing, particularly for persons with disabilities. Because the comment already indicates that HCD considers the current parking requirement to be a constraint, it is likely that the City will need to modify this requirement to obtain certification of the HEU.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU project team will add further discussion regarding the group housing parking requirement. Staff also recommends the following program revision:
 Amend the Development Code to reduce the amount of parking required for group housing uses.
 HCD Comment #41 – Housing for Persons with Disabilities: Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities29
Summary: Large Residential Care Facilities (a.k.a. “group homes”) are single-family dwellings licensed by a federal or state agency to provide 24- hour nonmedical care, supervision etc. to seven or more unrelated adults 28 HCD, November 14, 2022, Appendix, p. 8.
29 HCD, November 14, 2022, Appendix, p. 8.

or others with special needs. The Development Code requires discretionary approval for all such facilities. HCD’s comment requests analysis of this requirement “as a potential constraint on housing for persons with disabilities, and [addition of] a program to ensure zoning permits group homes objectively with approval certainty.” Discussion: As noted earlier, the draft HEU previously reviewed by Council included a program to allow this use by right, but Council gave direction to remove this program. Based on the above comment, it is likely that the City will need to revise the approval process for this use to obtain HCD certification. HCD typically requires that any discretionary permits for this use are subject only to objective criteria and findings, in order to provide greater certainty to project applicants.

Proposed Program Revisions: The HEU project team will add further analysis regarding the approval process for Large Residential Care Facilities. Staff also recommends the following program revision:
 Amend the Development Code to require only objective criteria and approval findings for Large Residential Care Facilities. Consider adopting new objective standards to address potential impacts of such facilities on surrounding uses, consistent with State law.

Sites Inventory
After the City submitted its draft HEU to HCD, the status of two projects30 identified in the City’s development pipeline changed. Due to these changes, the sites inventory must be updated to remove these projects from the pipeline and identify their sites as capacity. This will reduce the total number of anticipated units, requiring identification of other sites to backfill the loss. The reduction occurs because the yield from those two sites will now be based on HCD guidelines for calculating “realistic capacity”, which is generally a more conservative approach than considering actual development projects.

To address this change, staff is recommending adding a BART-owned site approximately one-half mile south of the Downtown Concord BART station (where the skate park is currently located; see Figure 6 below). This site was identified in the current (5th cycle) HEU and will provide adequate capacity to address these changes. 30 Concord Village, 230 units, entitlements expired in September. The Ashbury, 313 units identified as lower-income units, is no longer feasible due to the State changing the scoring criteria to higher resource areas, the project no longer qualifies for State funded financing through the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC) process. Accordingly, the developer has resubmitted an application for a 183 market- rate units, which has been deemed incomplete.

Community Comments
As discussed earlier, the City has received extensive community input throughout the HEU process, and HCD requires the City to consider and incorporate such comments where appropriate. Appendix H of the August 16, 2022, draft HEU (Attachment 1) provides all community comments on the draft received during the 30-day public comment period (May 26 through June 25, 2022), along the City’s response to each comment. Attachment 5 provides all comments received after June 25, 2022 (as of the publication of this report).

On December 21, 2022, City staff and a facilitator met with representatives of several CBOs who have been highly engaged in the HEU process and have submitted substantial comments on the draft HEU (see Attachment 5). The purpose of this meeting was to share the remaining steps in the HEU process, seek information on the history of the area identified as a RECAP, and increase the City’s understanding of the CBOs’ comments on the HEU. A summary of this meeting is provided in Attachment 6; to ensure accuracy, staff shared a draft of this summary with all participants and made edits based on their corrections.

Next Steps
Key steps in the HEU process after this meeting are as follows:
 By January 17, 2023 – Staff releases revised draft HEU incorporating Council’s direction
 January 19, 2023 – Planning Commission considers revised draft HEU for recommendation to the City Council
 January 31, 2023 – Council considers adoption of revised draft HEU  February 1, 2023 – If adopted by Council, staff submits adopted HEU to HCD  April 2, 2023 – HCD certifies adopted HEU or provides further comments Whether HCD certifies the adopted HEU will depend on whether the HEU substantially addresses HCD’s comments and is compliant with housing element law. If the revisions in the adopted HEU are not adequate, HCD will not certify, a third round of revisions and HCD review will be required, and the City may be subject to the consequences discussed in the next section. The approximate schedule for a third round of revisions and HCD review would be as follows (all dates are tentative):
 May 2, 2023 – Council provides input on further revisions responding to HCD’s second comment letter
 May 15, 2023 – Staff releases revised draft HEU incorporating Council’s input  May 17, 2023 – Planning Commission considers revised draft HEU for recommendation to the City Council

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
 May 23, 2023 – Council considers adoption of revised draft HEU  May 24, 2023 – If adopted by Council, staff submits adopted HEU to HCD  May 31, 2023 – 120-day grace period for HCD enforcement ends (see below for details)
 July 21, 2023 – HCD certifies adopted HEU or provides further comments Consequences for not Having a Certified Housing Element  Impacted City Projects
o Delay of Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) Funds - The City has been awarded $1.25 million in State PLHA funds and has allocated these funds to provide housing navigation, support services, and 6 to 12 months of rental subsidy to rapidly rehouse people experiencing homelessness (see HEU Program 22). The award remains valid; however, if the City does not have a certified HEU by January 31, 2023, the City will not be able to draw funds until the HEU is certified.
o Loss of One Bay Area Grant 3 (OBAG 3) funding – The City is currently seeking funding from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for two projects. If the City does not receive a certified Housing Element by December 31, 2023, the funding for these projects would be in jeopardy. a. Galindo Street Multimodal Corridor Project ($3,361,290) - The Galindo Street Multimodal Corridor Project between Salvio Street and Clayton Road includes new Class I and Class II bike lanes on both sides, landscaping, vertical delineators, green conflict markings, high visibility crosswalks, and curb extensions.
b. Willow Pass Road Bikeway Connection Project ($3,665,000) - The project will construct a protected Class IV cycle track along Willow Pass Road from Parkside Drive to Landana Drive and Class II bicycle lanes on Parkside Drive from Willow Pass Road to Salvio Street.

Additionally, the project will install rapid flashing beacons and green conflict markings at key intersections.
 “Builder’s Remedy” Applications
Under the State’s Housing Accountability Act31 (HAA), a housing development project is subject only to the ordinances, policies and standards in effect at the time that a preliminary application is filed for the project under Govt. Code Section 65941.1. Except for very limited circumstances, the HAA also prohibits a jurisdiction that is not in substantial compliance with State housing element law 31 Government Code Section 65589.5

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
from denying a housing project with at least 20% lower-income units or 100% moderate-income units, even if the project exceeds the maximum density, height or other standards of the general plan or zoning ordinance.32 The above provisions are known colloquially as the “Builder’s Remedy,” in reference to a “remedy” for non-compliance with State housing element law.

Based on the above, if the City has not adopted a substantially compliant HEU by January 31, 2023, it is open to the filing of “Builder’s Remedy” applications and mandated approval of projects that exceed the City’s development standards. If the Council adopts the HEU with a finding that it complies with State law, this could minimize the City’s exposure to Builder’s Remedy applications even if HCD were to subsequently request additional revisions.
 Ineligibility for Various Funds
Several State and regional funding sources require a certified housing element.

These include, but are not limited to, the following (see Attachment 7 for further details):
o Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Grants (AHSC) o SB 1 Planning Grants
o CalHOME Program Grants
o Infill Infrastructure Grants
o Local Housing Trust Fund
o Pro-Housing Designation Funding
o Regional transportation funds (e.g., MTC’s OneBayArea Grants)  HCD Enforcement Actions
State housing element law provides a 120-day “grace period” after the January 31, 2023, adoption deadline, during which HCD will not take enforcement action against jurisdictions that are not in compliance with State housing element law.

After this date (May 31, 2023), such jurisdictions are potentially subject to HCD enforcement action. Such action could, in theory, culminate in a court ordering substantial fines and penalties, including loss of local land use and zoning authority until compliance is achieved.

Based on the experience of Southern California cities, many of which missed their adoption deadlines and grace periods, continued good faith efforts to address HCD comments to adopt a substantially compliant HEU and were not 32 Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(5).

City Council Agenda Report
Agenda Item No. 5.a
January 17, 2023
subject to enforcement. That may apply here if Concord continues their efforts to adopt a compliant HEU and forestall HCD enforcement action.

Financial Impact
The recommended action is to provide comments only. No formal action is being taken at this time, therefore there is no financial impact from the recommended action.

Adoption of the HEU in early 2023 will commit the City to certain housing programs and staff will provide a more detailed financial impact analysis at that time.

Environmental Determination
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, Public Resources Code §21000, et seq., as amended and the implementing CEQA Guidelines, Title 14, Chapter 3 of the California Code or Regulations (CEQA), the recommended action does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of Public Resources Code Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2) or 15378, because there is no potential that the action will result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect or direct physical change in the environment. The appropriate environmental review document will be presented to Council for adoption prior to adoption of the final HEU in 2023.

Moreover, even if the recommended action did comprise a project for CEQA analysis, it would fall within the “common sense” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which excludes projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” No unusual circumstances exist. Accordingly, no further environmental review is required. This determination reflects the City’s independent judgment and analysis.

Dear
Kevin Marstall:

RE
: City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Thank
you for submitting the City of Concord’s (City) draft housing element received for review on August 16, 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. In addition, HCD considered comments from California for Homeownership, East Bay Housing Organizations, East Bay for Everyone, Derek Sagehorn, TransForm, East Bay YIMBY, Greenbelt Alliance and YIMBY Law, pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (c).

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

The enclosed Appendix describes the revisions needed to comply with State Housing Element Law.

For
your information, pursuant to Assembly Bill 1398 (Chapter 358, Statutes of 2021), if a local government fails to adopt a compliant housing element within 120 days of the statutory deadline (January 31, 2023), then any rezoning to make prior identified sites available or accommodate the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA), including for lower-income households, shall be completed no later than one year from the statutory deadline. Otherwise, the local government’s housing element will no longer comply with State Housing Element Law, and HCD may revoke its finding of substantial compliance pursuant to Government Code section 65585, subdivision (i). Please be aware, if the City fails to adopt a compliant housing element within one year from the statutory deadline, the element cannot be found in substantial compliance until rezones to accommodate a shortfall of sites pursuant to Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c) (1) (A) and Government Code section 65583.2, subdivision (c) are completed.

ATTACHMENT 2

Kevin Marstall, 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 meets 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.

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 Jamillah Williams, of our staff, at [email protected].

Sincerely,

Paul McDougall
Senior Program Manager

APPENDIX

CITY OF CONCORD

The following changes are necessary to bring the City’s housing element into compliance with Article 10.6 of the Government Code. Accompanying each recommended change, we cite the supporting section of the Government Code.

Housing element technical assistance information is available on HCD’s website at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/hcd-memos. Among other resources, the housing element section contains HCD’s latest technical assistance tool, Building Blocks for Effective Housing Elements (Building Blocks), available at https://www.hcd.ca.gov
/building-blocks and includes the
Government Code addressing State Housing Element Law and other resources.

A. H
ousing Needs, Resources, and Constraints

1. Affirmatively further[ing] fair housing in accordance with Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8899.50) of Division 1 of Title 2…shall include an assessment of fair housing in the jurisdiction. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(10)(A).)

Enforcement and
Outreach: The element must include the City’s ability to provide enforcement and outreach capacity which can consist of actions such as the City’s ability to investigate complaints, obtain remedies, or the City’s ability to engage in fair housing testing. Additionally, the element must also describe compliance with existing fair housing laws and regulations and clarify what fair housing outreach was done to inform the housing element.

Integration and Segregation: T
he element analyzes segregation and integration by income and persons with disabilities but must also include a local (patterns within the City) and regional analysis (City compared to the broader County or region) of familial status and race.

Racially C
oncentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAA): The element includes some general analysis about whether parts of the City are considered an RCAA. However, HCD’s fair housing data viewer indicates that the City does have census tracts that are considered an RCAA. The analysis should include updated data regarding the City’s RCAA designations and as noted above this should be analyzed relative to the broader region, county, and neighboring communities. For more information, please visit: https://affh-dat a-resources-
cahcd.hub.arcgis.com.

RECAP: The element identifies the Monument Blvd Corridor as a RECAP and provides some general information on previous uses, age of housing, and noise levels. However a complete analysis should include conditions of the neighborhood relative to quality of life (e.g., housing conditions, infrastructure, parks, community amenities, safe routes to school, environmental health) and effectiveness or absence of past strategies related to equitable quality of life. The element must add or modify programs based on the outcomes of this analysis

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 2 November 14, 2022
Disparities in Access to Opportunity: While the element provides some information on disparities in access to opportunity for education and transit, it must also provide a complete analysis of local and regional trends and patterns for disparities in access to opportunity to environmental and economic opportunities.

Local Data and Knowledge and Other Relevant Factors: The element should complement federal, state, and regional data with local data and knowledge where appropriate to capture emerging trends and issues, including utilizing knowledge from local and regional advocates, public comments, and service providers. The element must include other relevant factors that contribute to fair housing issues in the jurisdiction. For instance, the element can analyze historical land use and investment practices or other information and demographic trends.

Identified Sites and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing ( AFFH): The element must
include an analysis demonstrating whether sites identified to meet the regional housing need allocation (RHNA) are distributed throughout the community in a manner that AFFH.

A full analysis should address the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that effects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). Additionally, the element should also discuss any isolation of the RHNA by income group and whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., anti-displacement strategies).

2. I
nclude an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding, and housing stock condition. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(2).)

Overpayment: W
hile the element identifies the total number of overpaying households, it must quantify and analyze the number of lower-income households paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing by tenure (i.e., renter and owner). For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-devel
opment/housing-element/housing-element-
memos.shtml.

Housing Costs: W
hile the element uses American Community Survey (ACS) data to describe residential property values and rental rates in Concord, those factors must be supplemented by additional data sources.

3. 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).)

RHNA Progress: T
he element identifies multiple projects that have received approval in the last few years. The element must describe the availability of these units during the

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 3 November 14, 2022
planning period including their status and other relevant information demonstrating likelihood of completion during the planning period.

For additional information, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community- development/building-blocks/housing-needs/projected-housing-needs.shtml.

Sites Inventory:

While the element includes sites by parcel number, parcel size, zoning, and general plan designation, it must also express the site inventory unit count in whole numbers as opposed to decimals.

Realistic Capacity: T
he element determined realistic capacity by relying on various assumptions. Specifically, the element indicates that a number of zoning districts include a range of densities (6-60 units/acre). The element should analyze the likelihood these sites will develop as identified (e.g., higher densities for lower-income). For example, the element could include past projects and their built densities to provide support for these assumptions.

A
dditionally, the element identifies sites in various zone that allow for nonresidential uses including commercial, mixed-use, downtown pedestrian, downtown core, and the downtown district. For sites with zoning that allows 100 percent nonresidential uses, the element must account for the likelihood of 100 percent nonresidential development to demonstrate the realistic residential capacity. To demonstrate the likelihood for residential development in nonresidential zones, the element should describe past trends for all development in the pertinent zones, any performance standards mandating a specified portion of residential and any other factors such as incentives or proposed performance standards for residential use.

Lastly, the element applies a 25 percent density increase on specific sites based on the City’s local density bonus programs such as the Transit Overlay Zone or the Affordable Housing Incentive Program. However, the element also indicates that this program cannot be utilized for sites where the State Density Bonus Program. The element should analyze this requirement and provide support for the assumptions identified in the inventory.

Specifically, the likelihood that these optional incentive programs will be used and the inventory will develop at the identified capacities.

Nonvacant Sites: T
he element must include an analysis demonstrating the potential for redevelopment of nonvacant sites. To address this requirement, the element includes a description of general assumptions on capacity of nonvacant sites. This alone is not adequate to demonstrate the potential for redevelopment in the planning period. The element must describe the methodology used to determine the additional development potential within the planning period. The methodology must consider factors including the extent to which existing uses may impede additional residential development, development trends, market conditions, any existing leases or other contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development, and regulatory or other incentives or standards to encourage additional residential development on these sites.

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 4 November 14, 2022
In addition, if the housing element appears to rely upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower-income households, the housing element must demonstrate existing uses are not an impediment to additional residential development and will likely discontinue in the planning period. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).) 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.

Finally, if element utilizes sites with existing residential uses. Absent a replacement housing policy, these sites are not adequate sites to accommodate lower-income households. The replacement housing policy has the same requirements as set forth in Government Code section 65915, subdivision (c) (3).

Downtown Specific Pl
an: The element indicates that the Downtown Specific Plan may include a unit cap. The element should indicate the number of units have been identified in the Downtown Specific Plan. If there are development caps, the element should describe how they interact with the identified sites and whether they would reach or exceed the development cap.

Concord Reuse Project Area Plan: The element relies on sites within the Concord Reuse Project Area Plan to accommodate a portion of its RHNA. For a complete analysis, the element must provide timing on adoption and implementation; describe any zoning or pre- zoning requirements, and describe the feasibility of development, including infrastructure accessibility during the planning period. In addition, the element notes that 25 percent of the units in this plan will be considered as affordable. The element must provide information and evidence to support this assumption.

Small Sites:

Sites larger than ten acres in size or smaller than a half-acre in size are deemed inadequate to accommodate housing for lower-income households unless it is demonstrated, with sufficient evidence, that sites are suitable to accommodate housing for lower-income households. The element identifies certain sites larger than ten acres and smaller than 0.5 acres to accommodate the lower-income RHNA. For sites smaller than

0.5 acres, the element is assuming these lots will be consolidated. However, the element should include the methodology for determining these sites suitable for consolidation. For example, the element could discuss common ownership, adjacency to other parcels, and additional factors. Additionally, the element should relate any trends or characteristics to the actual inventory to facilitate a complete analysis. For large sites, the element should demonstrate how these sites are suitable to accommodate housing for lower-income households based on past trends or other characteristics demonstrating suitability such as anticipated parceling or mixed income approaches. Based on the outcomes of a complete analysis, the element should add or modify programs.

Ac
cessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): The element is projecting 38 ADUs per year for a total of 304 ADUs that will accommodate a portion of the RHNA during the planning period.

This assumption is based upon averages from 2018-2021. However, the data provided in the element is inconsistent with the City’s production numbers provided in the Annual Progress Reports. HCD’s records indicate that the City permitted 19 ADUs in 2018, 18 in 2019, 24 in 2020, and 40 in 2021 for an average of 25 ADUs per year. The element should

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 5 November 14, 2022
reconcile these figures to include a realistic estimate of the potential for ADUs and include policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs and data updated to reflect most recent information. Depending on the analysis, the element must commit to monitor ADU production throughout the course of the planning period and implement additional actions if not meeting target numbers anticipated in the housing element. Additional actions, if necessary, should be taken in a timely manner (e.g., within six months). Finally, if necessary, the degree of additional actions should be in stride with the degree of the gap in production and affordability. For example, if actual production and affordability of ADUs is far from anticipated trends, then rezoning or something similar would be an appropriate action. If actual production and affordability is near anticipated trends, then measures like outreach and marketing might be more appropriate.

Publicly Owned Sites:

The element identifies city-owned sites to accommodate the RHNA.

The element must include additional discussion on the publicly owned site. Specifically, the analysis should address general plan designations, allowable densities, support for residential capacity assumptions, existing uses and any known conditions that preclude development in the planning period and the potential schedule for development. If zoning does not currently allow residential uses at appropriate densities, then the element must include programs to rezone sites pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). In addition, the housing element must include a description of whether there are any plans to sell the property during the planning period and how the jurisdiction will comply with the Surplus Land Act Article 8 (commencing with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5.

Environmental Constraints: The element must describe any known environmental constraints within the City that could impact housing development in the planning period.

While the element generally describes environmental constraints, the element must relate those constraints to the actual sties identified in the inventory. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (b).)

Infrastructure Capacity: While the element generally describes water and sewer infrastructure, it must clarify sufficient existing or planned capacity to accommodate the RHNA or include programs if necessary.

Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:

• Employee Housing: The element must demonstrate the zoning is consistent with the Employee Housing Act (Health and Safety Code, § 17000 et seq.), specifically, sections 17021.5 and 17021.6. Section 17021.5 requires employee housing for six or fewer employees to be treated as a single-family structure and permitted in the same manner as other dwellings of the same type in the same zone. Section 17021.6 requires employee housing consisting of no more than 12 units or 36 beds to be permitted in the same manner as other agricultural uses in the same zone.

The element must describe compliance with these requirements or include a program to be compliant.

• Emergency Shelters: While the element has identified various standards required for permitting emergency shelters, the element must analyze these standards for

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 6 November 14, 2022
potential constraints on developing emergency shelters. Specifically, the element must analyze distancing requirements for emergency shelters such as distance from schools, libraries, residentials zones and requirements that emergency shelters must be located within transit routes, and the various facility requirements.

The element should also describe compliance with AB 139 (Emergency and Transitional Housing Act of 2019) parking requirements. Lastly, the element must clarify if emergency shelters are allowed by right (without discretion) in the identified zones i.e., OBP, IBP, and IMX. Upon a complete analysis, the element may need to include a program to address any identified constraints.

• Manufactured Housing: Manufactured homes that are built on a permanent foundation must be allowed in the same manner and in the same zones as conventional or stick-built structures. Specifically, manufactured homes on a permanent structure should only be subject to the same development standards that a conventional single-family residential dwelling would be subject to. The element must demonstrate consistency with this requirement or add or modify programs as appropriate.

• Other Housing Types: The element should also clarify the definition of various uses noted in the element including a “Family Day Care Home”, Live/Work units, and Work/Live units. Additionally, while the element describes where Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are allowed, the element should ensure this information is consistent with the Zoning table provided in the element (Table 2).

4. 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).)

Land Us
e Controls : The element must identify and analyze all relevant land use controls impacts as potential constraints on a variety of housing types (e.g., multifamily rental housing, mobilehomes, transitional housing). The analysis must also evaluate the cumulative impacts of land use controls on the cost and supply of single family and multifamily development, including the ability to achieve maximum densities. The analysis should evaluate setback requirements in the RM and RH zone, height limits for the RL, CO, and CMX zones and that allow for multifamily housing and 32 units/acre, and parking requirements for single family and multifamily housing.

Fees and Exaction: W
hile the element identifies the total amount of fees and their proportion to the development costs for both single family and multifamily housing, it must also describe all required fees for single family and multifamily housing development, including impact fees, and analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For additional information and a sample analysis and tables, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/fees-and
-exactions.

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 7 November 14, 2022

Local Processing and Permit Procedures: T
he element must describe and analyze the
City’s permit processing and approval procedures for a typical single family and multifamily development. For example, the element notes several required permits including a Use Permit, Minor Use Permit, Administrative Permit, and Zoning Clearance. The analysis should address the required permits for each use, the approval body, the number of public hearing if any, approval findings and any other relevant information. Additionally, the element should clarify whether the timelines for permit process is the same for both single and multifamily housing. The element should also clarify whether permitted uses are required to obtain a zoning clearance or allowed by-right. The analysis should analyze these and other requirements for impacts on housing cost, supply, timing and approval certainty. Based on a complete analysis, the element should include programs to address or remove the identified constraints.

T
he element notes that multifamily housing is allowed in the Downtown District and Mixed- Use Zones subject to a use or conditional use permit. The element also discusses that the City is focused on building this type of housing in these areas and identifies sites in these zones for multifamily housing. As noted above, the element must identify any approval findings or decision-making criteria for this requirement. The analysis should address impacts on housing cost, supply, timing and approval certainty. For your information, subjecting multifamily housing to an exception process in zones where multifamily housing is already allowed is generally considered a constraint. Based on a complete analysis, the element should include programs to address or remove the identified constraints.

Design Review: T
he element briefly describes the City’s design review requirements; however, the analysis should analyze the approval timelines, approval procedures and decision-making criteria. The analysis should evaluate this process for potential constraints on housing supply, affordability, and timing. The element must demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate.

On/Off-S
ite Improvements: The element must identify subdivision level improvement requirements, such as minimum street widths (e.g., 40-foot minimum street width), and analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For additional information and a sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes-an
d-enforcement-of-onsite-offsite-improvement-standards.

Codes and Enforcement: T
he element must describe the City’s building and zoning code enforcement processes and procedures, including the degree and type of enforcement, and any local amendments to the building code and analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For additional information and a sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes-and-enf orcement-of-
onsite-offsite-improvement-standards.

Zoning and Fees Transparency: W
hile the element references the Government Code
requirements for transparency of all fees and zoning on the City’s website, the element must specifically clarify whether it complies with new transparency requirements for

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 8 November 14, 2022
posting all zoning and development standards for each parcel on the jurisdiction’s website pursuant to Government Code section 65940.1(a)(1).

Local Ordinances: T
he element must analyze any locally adopted ordinances that directly impacts the cost and supply or residential development (e.g., inclusionary requirements, short term rentals, growth controls).

Constraints on Hous
ing for Persons with Disabilities:

• Definition of Family: The element notes that the City’s definition of family is not a constraint because the City does not regulate family based on related individuals.

However, the definition noted in the element does pose a constraint because of the number of restrictions placed on households. The element should analyze this definition and include a program to address the constraint. For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community- development/building-blocks/constraints/constraints-for-people-with-disabilities.shtml.

• Group Housing Parking: The element indicates that group housing is required to provide one parking space per bed, unit, or bedroom, whichever is greater in addition to guest parking spaces. These requirements are a constraint on providing housing for persons with disabilities and requires more parking spaces than other similar uses in these zones (i.e., single family residences). The element must analyze this requirement and include a program to address the constraint.

• Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities: The element currently details that residential care facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted in all residential zones. However, residential care facilities serving seven or more persons require a conditional use permit in most zones. The element should analyze the process as a potential constraint on housing for persons with disabilities and add a program to ensure zoning permits group homes objectively with approval certainty.

5. An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land, the cost of construction, the requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in the analysis required by subdivision (c) of Government Code section 65583.2, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits for that housing development that hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(6).)

Price of Land: The element must also identify the actual land costs for single family and multifamily development.

Developed Densities and Permit Times: The element must be revised to include analysis of requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits that potentially hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need.

City of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 9 November 14, 2022

6. A nalyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).)

Persons with Development Disabilities:

The element must quantify the number of persons
with developmental disabilities and analyze the special housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities. An analysis should generally discuss types of developmental disabilities, housing needs, housing issues or challenges and resources, policies and programs including existing housing and services, for persons with developmental disabilities.

7. A
nalyze existing assisted housing developments that are eligible to change to non- low- income housing uses during the next 10 years due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or expiration of use restrictions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(9) through 65583(a)(9)(D).).

While the element included a list on assisted housing developments at-risk of converting, it must also identify public and private nonprofit corporations known to the City to have the legal and managerial capacity to acquire and manage at-risk units and federal, state and local financing and subsidy programs to assist in maintaining affordability.

For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-dev
elopment/building-blocks/housing-needs/assisted-
housing-developments.shtml and for more information on identifying units at-r isk, see the California Housing Partnership Corporation at http://www.chpc.net.

B. H ousing Programs

1. I nclude 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).)

T
o address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, programs should include: (1) a description of the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation timelines; (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and officials. Programs to be revised include the following:

• Timing: The following programs should discuss the frequency and milestones for certain actions including but not limited to Program 2, 8, 13, and 21

Ci
ty of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 10 November 14, 2022
• Additional Actions: To facilitate implementation and achieve the intended outcomes, programs should include a proactive outreach component. These programs include but not limited to Program 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17.
• Pro
gram 9 should clarify the types of incentives that will be provided during the planning period.
• Pr
ogram 11 should include an action continue to monitor state density bonus law and update as needed.
• Pr
ogram 12 should clarify the percent required for affordable housing for inclusionary requirements
• Pr
ogram 22 should provide quantified objectives e.g., number of homeless people the City anticipates to place into permanent housing.

2. 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 completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).) As noted in Finding A4, 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 should be revised as follows:

Shortfall of Sites: If the element does not identify adequate sites, including available zoning and development standards, to accommodate the RHNA for lower-income households, it must include a program(s) to specifically commit to rezoning sites, including acreage, anticipated units, zoning and development standards and meet all requirements pursuant to Government Code section, 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). For example, the program should permit owner-occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right (without discretionary action) for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households.

Publicly-Owned Sites: The element identified publicly-owned sites to accommodate a portion of the RHNA. The element should include a program with numerical objectives that ensures compliance with the Surplus Land Act, provides incentives and actions along with a schedule to facilitate development of publicly- owned sites. Actions should include outreach with developers, issuing requests for proposals, incentives, fee waivers, priority processing and financial assistance.
52

Ci
ty of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 11 November 14, 2022
Program 1 – A ccessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The City is relying on ADUs to accommodate a portion of its RHNA. Additionally, while the element states it will monitor ADU applications and implement additional incentives, this program should commit to frequent monitoring (i.e., every two years) and take appropriate action such as adjusting assumptions or rezoning within a specified time period (e.g., six months).

3. The h
ousing element shall contain programs which assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(2).)
Program 3 – Special Needs Households: The element must include a program(s) with specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing special needs populations including Extremely Low-Income (ELI) households and persons with disabilities. The element includes a program to coordinate with providers; however, the element should include stronger program(s) such as commitments to priority processing, granting fee waivers or deferrals, modifying development standards, and granting concessions and incentives for housing developments that include units affordable to ELI households.

4. 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).)
As noted in Findings A5 and A6, 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.

In addition, since the element indicates the City does not have a reasonable accommodation procedure, it must include a program to develop specific procedures for requesting and granting a reasonable accommodation. The procedure should not be limited to the installation of accessibility improvements and must provide reasonable accommodations to zoning and land-use requirements for housing for persons with disabilities. For additional information and a sample program and ordinance, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing_element2/PRO_mitigate.php.

5. 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).)
Program to AFFH: As noted in Finding B1, the element must include a complete assessment of fair housing. Based on the outcomes of that analysis, the element must add or modify programs. Goals and actions must specifically respond to the analysis and to the identified and prioritized contributing factors to fair housing issues and must be significant and meaningful enough to overcome identified patterns and trends. Actions must have

Ci
ty of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 12 November 14, 2022
specific commitments, milestones, geographic targeting, and metrics or numeric objectives.

6. The housing program shall preserve for low-income household the assisted housing developments identified pursuant to paragraph (9) of subdivision (a)... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(6).)
Pro
gram 18 (Preservation) should be modified to include noticing requirements within three years and six months of the affordability expiration dates, coordinating with owners and qualified entities such as non-profit organizations and establish specific time parameters around such actions.

C. Quantified Objectives
Establish the number of housing units, by income level, that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over a five-year time frame. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (b)(1 & 2).) The element must include quantified objectives to establish an estimate of housing units by income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period. While the element includes these objectives by income group for low-, moderate- and above-moderate income, the element must also include separate objectives for very low- and ELI households.

D. Public Participation
Local governments shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the Housing Element, and the element shall describe this effort. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd.(c)(9).) The e
lement states that the City made diligent efforts to involve all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element and describes these efforts. However, the element must also describe outreach efforts to lower income segments of the community.

For example, the element could discuss the availability of translation services, efforts to circulate the housing element among low- and moderate-income households, and any outreach with key stakeholders that represent these groups. In addition, Appendix H describes responses to public comments, but must also describe how public input was considered and incorporated into the element. For additional information, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/public-participation.

E. Consistency with General Plan
The Housing Element shall describe the means by which consistency will be achieved with other general plan elements and community goals. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(7).) 62

Ci
ty of Concord’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 13 November 14, 2022
While the element described how consistency was achieved, it must also describe how it will be maintained during the planning period. For example, the element could include a program to conduct an internal consistency review of the General Plan as part of the annual General Plan implementation report required by Government Code section 65400. The annual report can also assist future updates of the housing element. For additional information and a sample program, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/analysis-o f-consistency-

RECAP: The element identifies the Monument Blvd Corridor as a RECAP and provides some general information on previous uses, age of housing, and noise levels. However a complete analysis should include conditions of the neighborhood relative to quality of life (e.g., housing conditions, infrastructure, parks, community amenities, safe routes to school, environmental health) and effectiveness or absence of past strategies related to equitable quality of life. The element must add or modify programs based on the outcomes of this analysis[.] Appendix D
Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAA): The element includes some general analysis about whether parts of the City are considered an RCAA. However, HCD’s fair housing data viewer indicates that the City does have census tracts that are considered an RCAA. The analysis should include updated data regarding the City’s RCAA designations and as noted above this should be analyzed relative to the broader region, county, and neighboring communities.

Local Data and Knowledge and Other Relevant Factors: The element should complement federal, state, and regional data with local data and knowledge where appropriate to capture emerging trends and issues, including utilizing knowledge from local and regional advocates, public comments, and service providers. The element must include other relevant factors that contribute to fair housing issues in the jurisdiction. For instance, the element can analyze historical land use and investment practices or other information and demographic trends.

Appendix D
Identified Sites and Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH): The element must include an analysis demonstrating whether sites identified to meet the regional housing need allocation (RHNA) are distributed throughout the community in a manner that AFFH. A full analysis should address the income categories of identified sites with respect to location, the number of sites and units by all income groups and how that effects the existing patterns for all components of the assessment of fair housing (e.g., segregation and integration, access to opportunity). Additionally, the element should also discuss any isolation of the RHNA by income group and whether the distribution of sites improves or exacerbates conditions. If sites exacerbate conditions, the element should identify further program actions that will be taken to mitigate this (e.g., anti-displacement strategies).

Appendix D and E
Include an analysis and documentation of household characteristics, including level of payment compared to ability to pay, housing characteristics, including overcrowding, and housing stock condition. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(2).) Overpayment: While the element identifies the total number of overpaying households, it must quantify and analyze the number of lower-income households paying more than 30 percent of their income on housing by tenure (i.e., renter and owner).

Additional information and analysis will be provided.

Realistic Capacity: The element determined realistic capacity by relying on various assumptions. Specifically, the element indicates that a number of zoning districts include a range of densities (6-60 units/acre). The element should analyze the likelihood these sites will develop as identified (e.g., higher densities for lower-income). For example, the element could include past projects and their built densities to provide support for these assumptions.

Appendix E
Additionally, the element identifies sites in various zone that allow for nonresidential uses including commercial, mixed-use, downtown pedestrian, downtown core, and the downtown district. For sites with zoning that allows 100 percent nonresidential uses, the element must account for the likelihood of 100 percent nonresidential development to demonstrate the realistic residential capacity. To demonstrate the likelihood for residential development in nonresidential zones, the element should describe past trends for all development in the pertinent zones, any performance standards mandating a specified portion of residential and any other factors such as incentives or proposed performance standards for residential use.

Appendix E
Lastly, the element applies a 25 percent density increase on specific sites based on the City’s local density bonus programs such as the Transit Overlay Zone or the Affordable Housing Incentive Program. However, the element also indicates that this program cannot be utilized for sites where the State Density Bonus Program. The element should analyze this requirement and provide support for the assumptions identified in the inventory. Specifically, the likelihood that these optional incentive programs will be used and the inventory will develop at the identified capacities.

Appendix C/Program
11 Nonvacant Sites: The element must include an analysis demonstrating the potential for redevelopment of nonvacant sites. To address this requirement, the element includes a description of general assumptions on capacity of nonvacant sites. This alone is not adequate to demonstrate the potential for redevelopment in the planning period. The element must describe the methodology used to determine the additional development potential within the planning period. The methodology must consider factors including the extent to which existing uses may impede additional residential development, development trends, market conditions, any existing leases or other contracts that would perpetuate the existing use or prevent redevelopment of the site for additional residential development, and regulatory or other incentives or standards to encourage additional residential development on these sites.

Finally, if element utilizes sites with existing residential uses. Absent a replacement housing policy, these sites are not adequate sites to accommodate lower-income households. The replacement housing policy has the same requirements as set forth in Government Code section 65915, subdivision (c) (3).

Program 19/Appendix
E
Downtown Specific Plan: The element indicates that the Downtown Specific Plan may include a unit cap. The element should indicate the number of units have been identified in the Downtown Specific Plan. If there are development caps, the element should describe how they interact with the identified sites and whether they would reach or exceed the development cap.

Appendix C
Concord Reuse Project Area Plan: The element relies on sites within the Concord Reuse Project Area Plan to accommodate a portion of its RHNA. For a complete analysis, the element must provide timing on adoption and implementation; describe any zoning or prezoning requirements, and describe the feasibility of development, including infrastructure accessibility during the planning period.

In addition, the element notes that 25 percent of the units in this plan will be considered as affordable. The element must provide information and evidence to support this assumption.

Appendix C
In addition, if the housing element appears to rely upon nonvacant sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the RHNA for lower-income households, the housing element must demonstrate existing uses are not an impediment to additional residential development and will likely discontinue in the planning period. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (g)(2).) 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.

Additional analysis and clarification will be provided.

Small Sites: Sites larger than ten acres in size or smaller than a half-acre in size are deemed inadequate to accommodate housing for lower-income households unless it is demonstrated, with sufficient evidence, that sites are suitable to accommodate housing for lower-income households. The element identifies certain sites larger than ten acres and smaller than 0.5 acres to accommodate the lower-income RHNA. For sites smaller than 0.5 acres, the element is assuming these lots will be consolidated. However, the element should include the methodology for determining these sites suitable for consolidation. For example, the element could discuss common ownership, adjacency to other parcels, and additional factors. Additionally, the element should relate any trends or characteristics to the actual inventory to facilitate a complete analysis. For large sites, the element should demonstrate how these sites are suitable to accommodate housing for lower-income households based on past trends or other characteristics demonstrating suitability such as anticipated parceling or mixed income approaches. Based on the outcomes of a complete analysis, the element should add or modify programs.

Appendix E
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs): The element is projecting 38 ADUs per year for a total of 304 ADUs that will accommodate a portion of the RHNA during the planning period. This assumption is based upon averages from 2018-2021. However, the data provided in the element is inconsistent with the City’s production numbers provided in the Annual Progress Reports. HCD’s records indicate that the City permitted 19 ADUs in 2018, 18 in 2019, 24 in 2020, and 40 in 2021 for an average of 25 ADUs per year. The element should reconcile these figures to include a realistic estimate of the potential for ADUs and include policies and programs that incentivize the production of ADUs and data updated to reflect most recent information. Depending on the analysis, the element must commit to monitor ADU production throughout the course of the planning period and implement additional actions if not meeting target numbers anticipated in the housing element. Additional actions, if necessary, should be taken in a timely manner (e.g., within six months). Finally, if necessary, the degree of additional actions should be in stride with the degree of the gap in production and affordability. For example, if actual production and affordability of ADUs is far from anticipated trends, then rezoning or something similar would be an appropriate action. If actual production and affordability is near anticipated trends, then measures like outreach and marketing might be more appropriate.

Additional analysis will be provided.

Clarification will be provided.

Additional information will be provided.Publicly Owned Sites: The element identifies city-owned sites to accommodate the RHNA. The element must include additional discussion on the publicly owned site. Specifically, the analysis should address general plan designations, allowable densities, support for residential capacity assumptions, existing uses and any known conditions that preclude development in the planning period and the potential schedule for development. If zoning does not currently allow residential uses at appropriate densities, then the element must include programs to rezone sites pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). In addition, the housing element must include a description of whether there are any plans to sell the property during the planning period and how the jurisdiction will comply with the Surplus Land Act Article 8 (commencing with Section 54220) of Chapter 5 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5.

Appendix E/Sites
inventory form
Environmental Constraints: The element must describe any known environmental constraints within the City that could impact housing development in the planning period.

While the element generally describes environmental constraints, the element must relate those constraints to the actual sties identified in the inventory. (Gov. Code, § 65583.2, subd. (b).)
Appendix E
Infrastructure Capacity: While the element generally describes water and sewer infrastructure, it must clarify sufficient existing or planned capacity to accommodate the RHNA or include programs if necessary.

No changes necessary.

Additional information will be provided.
• Emergency Shelters: While the element has identified various standards required for permitting emergency shelters, the element must analyze these standards for potential constraints on developing emergency shelters. Specifically, the element must analyze distancing requirements for emergency shelters such as distance from schools, libraries, residentials zones and requirements that emergency shelters must be located within transit routes, and the various facility requirements.

The element should also describe compliance with AB 139 (Emergency and Transitional Housing Act of 2019) parking requirements. Lastly, the element must clarify if emergency shelters are allowed by right (without discretion) in the identified zones i.e., OBP, IBP, and IMX. Upon a complete analysis, the element may need to include a program to address any identified constraints.
• Manufactured Housing: Manufactured homes that are built on a permanent foundation must be allowed in the same manner and in the same zones as conventional or stick-built structures. Specifically, manufactured homes on a permanent structure should only be subject to the same development standards that a conventional single-family residential dwelling would be subject to. The element must demonstrate consistency with this requirement or add or modify programs as appropriate.
• Other Housing Types: The element should also clarify the definition of various uses noted in the element including a “Family Day Care Home”, Live/Work units, and Work/Live units. Additionally, while the element describes where Single Room Occupancy (SRO) units and Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are allowed, the element should ensure this information is consistent with the Zoning table provided in the element (Table 2).

Appendix C; Program
22 Program 2
Appendix C
Zoning for a Variety of Housing Types:
• Employee Housing: The element must demonstrate the zoning is consistent with the Employee Housing Act (Health and Safety Code, § 17000 et seq.), specifically, sections 17021.5 and 17021.6. Section 17021.5 requires employee housing for six or fewer employees to be treated as a single-family structure and permitted in the same manner as other dwellings of the same type in the same zone. Section 17021.6 requires employee housing consisting of no more than 12 units or 36 beds to be permitted in the same manner as other agricultural uses in the same zone.

The element must describe compliance with these requirements or include a program to be compliant.

Additional information will be provided.Fees and Exaction: While the element identifies the total amount of fees and their proportion to the development costs for both single family and multifamily housing, it must also describe all required fees for single family and multifamily housing development, including impact fees, and analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For additional information and a sample analysis and tables, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/fees-and-exactions.

Appendix C
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).)
Land Use Controls: The element must identify and analyze all relevant land use controls impacts as potential constraints on a variety of housing types (e.g., multifamily rental housing, mobilehomes, transitional housing). The analysis must also evaluate the cumulative impacts of land use controls on the cost and supply of single family and multifamily development, including the ability to achieve maximum densities. The analysis should evaluate setback requirements in the RM and RH zone, height limits for the RL, CO, and CMX zones and that allow for multifamily housing and 32 units/acre, and parking requirements for single family and multifamily housing.

Additional information will be provided and revisions to Program 15 to ensure the objective design standards will not be an impediment.

Additional Programs and policies in the staff report are being recommended to address AFFH.

Additional analysis will be provided.

Local Processing and Permit Procedures: The element must describe and analyze the City’s permit processing and approval procedures for a typical single family and multifamily development. For example, the element notes several required permits including a Use Permit, Minor Use Permit, Administrative Permit, and Zoning Clearance. The analysis should address the required permits for each use, the approval body, the number of public hearing if any, approval findings and any other relevant information. Additionally, the element should clarify whether the timelines for permit process is the same for both single and multifamily housing.

The element should also clarify whether permitted uses are required to obtain a zoning clearance or allowed by-right. The analysis should analyze these and other requirements for impacts on housing cost, supply, timing and approval certainty. Based on a complete analysis, the element should include programs to address or remove the identified constraints.

The element notes that multifamily housing is allowed in the Downtown District and MixedUse Zones subject to a use or conditional use permit. The element also discusses that the City is focused on building this type of housing in these areas and identifies sites in these zones for multifamily housing. As noted above, the element must identify any approval findings or decision-making criteria for this requirement. The analysis should address impacts on housing cost, supply, timing and approval certainty. For your information, subjecting multifamily housing to an exception process in zones where multifamily housing is already allowed is generally considered a constraint. Based on a complete analysis, the element should include programs to address or remove the identified constraints.

Appendix C/Program
15 Design Review: The element briefly describes the City’s design review requirements; however, the analysis should analyze the approval timelines, approval procedures and decision- making criteria. The analysis should evaluate this process for potential constraints on housing supply, affordability, and timing. The element must demonstrate this process is not a constraint or it must include a program to address this permitting requirement, as appropriate.

Appendix C/Program
15 On/Off-Site Improvements: The element must identify subdivision level improvement requirements, such as minimum street widths (e.g., 40-foot minimum street width), and analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For additional information and a sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes-and-enforcement-of-onsite-offsite-improvement-standards.

Codes and Enforcement: The element must describe the City’s building and zoning code enforcement processes and procedures, including the degree and type of enforcement, and any local amendments to the building code and analyze their impact as potential constraints on housing supply and affordability. For additional information and a sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/codes-and-enforcement-ofonsite-offsite- improvement-standards.

Appendix C
Zoning and Fees Transparency: While the element references the Government Code requirements for transparency of all fees and zoning on the City’s website, the element must specifically clarify whether it complies with new transparency requirements for posting all zoning and development standards for each parcel on the jurisdiction’s website pursuant to Government Code section 65940.1(a)(1).

Appendix C
Local Ordinances: The element must analyze any locally adopted ordinances that directly impacts the cost and supply or residential development (e.g., inclusionary requirements, short term rentals, growth controls).

Appendix C
Constraints on Housing for Persons with Disabilities:
• Definition of Family: The element notes that the City’s definition of family is not a constraint because the City does not regulate family based on related individuals.

However, the definition noted in the element does pose a constraint because of the number of restrictions placed on households. The element should analyze this definition and include a program to address the constraint. For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/communitydevelopment/building- blocks/constraints/constraints-for-people-with-disabilities.shtml. • Group Housing Parking
: The element indicates that group housing is required to provide one parking space per bed, unit, or bedroom, whichever is greater in addition to guest parking spaces. These requirements are a constraint on providing housing for persons with disabilities and requires more parking spaces than other similar uses in these zones (i.e., single family residences). The element must analyze this requirement and include a program to address the constraint.
• Group Homes/Residential Care Facilities
: The element currently details that
residential care facilities serving six or fewer persons are permitted in all residential zones.

However, residential care facilities serving seven or more persons require a conditional use permit in most zones. The element should analyze the process as a potential constraint on housing for persons with disabilities and add a program to ensure zoning permits group homes objectively with approval certainty.

An analysis of potential and actual nongovernmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, or development of housing for all income levels, including the availability of financing, the price of land, the cost of construction, the requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated in the analysis required by subdivision (c) of Government Code section 65583.2, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits for that housing development that hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need in accordance with Government Code section 65584... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(6).) Price of Land: The element must also identify the actual land costs for single family and multifamily development.

Appendix C
Persons with Development Disabilities: The element must quantify the number of persons with developmental disabilities and analyze the special housing needs of persons with developmental disabilities. An analysis should generally discuss types of developmental disabilities, housing needs, housing issues or challenges and resources, policies and programs including existing housing and services, for persons with developmental disabilities.

Appendix B
Analyze existing assisted housing developments that are eligible to change to non-lowincome housing uses during the next 10 years due to termination of subsidy contracts, mortgage prepayment, or expiration of use restrictions. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(9) through 65583(a)(9)(D).).

Developed Densities and Permit Times: The element must be revised to include analysis of requests to develop housing at densities below those anticipated, and the length of time between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application for building permits that potentially hinder the construction of a locality’s share of the regional housing need.

Appendix C
Analyze any special housing needs such as elderly; persons with disabilities, including a developmental disability; large families; farmworkers; families with female heads of households; and families and persons in need of emergency shelter. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (a)(7).)

While the element included a list on assisted housing developments at-risk of converting, it must also identify public and private nonprofit corporations known to the City to have the legal and managerial capacity to acquire and manage at-risk units and federal, state and local financing and subsidy programs to assist in maintaining affordability.

For additional information and sample analysis, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/building-blocks/housing- needs/assistedhousing-developments.shtml and for more information on identifying units at- risk, see the California Housing Partnership Corporation at http://www.chpc.net.

Appendix B/Program
18 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).)
To address the program requirements of Government Code section 65583, subdivision (c)(1-6), and to facilitate implementation, programs should include: (1) a description of the City’s specific role in implementation; (2) definitive implementation timelines; (3) objectives, quantified where appropriate; and (4) identification of responsible agencies and officials.

Programs to be revised include the following:
• Timing: The following programs should discuss the frequency and milestones for certain actions including but not limited to Program 2, 8, 13, and 21 • Additional Actions: To facilitate implementation and achieve the intended outcomes, programs should include a proactive outreach component. These programs include but not limited to Program 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17.
• Program 9 should clarify the types of incentives that will be provided during the planning period.
• Program 11 should include an action continue to monitor state density bonus law and update as needed.
• Program 12 should clarify the percent required for affordable housing for inclusionary requirements
• Program 22 should provide quantified objectives e.g., number of homeless people the City anticipates to place into permanent housing.

Shortfall of Sites: If the element does not identify adequate sites, including available zoning and development standards, to accommodate the RHNA for lower-income households, it must include a program(s) to specifically commit to rezoning sites, including acreage, anticipated units, zoning and development standards and meet all requirements pursuant to Government Code section, 65583.2, subdivisions (h) and (i). For example, the program should permit owner- occupied and rental multifamily uses by-right (without discretionary action) for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households.

Appendix E
Publicly-Owned Sites: The element identified publicly-owned sites to accommodate a portion of the RHNA. The element should include a program with numerical objectives that ensures compliance with the Surplus Land Act, provides incentives and actions along with a schedule to facilitate development of publicly- owned sites. Actions should include outreach with developers, issuing requests for proposals, incentives, fee waivers, priority processing and financial assistance.

Program 4
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 completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(1).) As noted in Finding A4, 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 should be revised as follows:

Appendix E
Program 1 – Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU): The City is relying on ADUs to accommodate a portion of its RHNA. Additionally, while the element states it will monitor ADU applications and implement additional incentives, this program should commit to frequent monitoring (i.e., every two years) and take appropriate action such as adjusting assumptions or rezoning within a specified time period (e.g., six months).

No changes necessary.As noted in Findings A5 and A6, 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.

In addition, since the element indicates the City does not have a reasonable accommodation procedure, it must include a program to develop specific procedures for requesting and granting a reasonable accommodation. The procedure should not be limited to the installation of accessibility improvements and must provide reasonable accommodations to zoning and land-use requirements for housing for persons with disabilities. For additional information and a sample program and ordinance, see the Building Blocks at http://www.hcd.ca.gov/hpd/housing_element2/PRO_mitigate.php.

Program 8
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).)
Program 3 – Special Needs Households: The element must include a program(s) with specific actions and timelines to assist in the development of housing special needs populations including Extremely Low-Income (ELI) households and persons with disabilities.

The element includes a program to coordinate with providers; however, the element should include stronger program(s) such as commitments to priority processing, granting fee waivers or deferrals, modifying development standards, and granting concessions and incentives for housing developments that include units affordable to ELI households.

Program 3
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).)
The housing element shall contain programs which assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of extremely low-, very low-, low- and moderate-income households. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(2).)

Program 18
Appendix C
The housing program shall preserve for low-income household the assisted housing developments identified pursuant to paragraph (9) of subdivision (a)... (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(6).)
Program 18 (Preservation) should be modified to include noticing requirements within three years and six months of the affordability expiration dates, coordinating with owners and qualified entities such as non-profit organizations and establish specific time parameters around such actions.

Establish the number of housing units, by income level, that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over a five-year time frame. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (b)(1 & 2).) The element must include quantified objectives to establish an estimate of housing units by income category that can be constructed, rehabilitated, and conserved over the planning period. While the element includes these objectives by income group for low-, moderate- and above-moderate income, the element must also include separate objectives for very low- and ELI households.

Local governments shall make a diligent effort to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the Housing Element, and the element shall describe this effort. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd.(c)(9).) The element states that the City made diligent efforts to involve all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element and describes these efforts. However, the element must also describe outreach efforts to lower income segments of the community.

For example, the element could discuss the availability of translation services, efforts to circulate the housing element among low- and moderate-income households, and any outreach with key stakeholders that represent these groups. Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/public-participation.

Appendix F and
Appendix H
Program to AFFH: As noted in Finding B1, the element must include a complete assessment of fair housing. Based on the outcomes of that analysis, the element must add or modify programs. Goals and actions must specifically respond to the analysis and to the identified and prioritized contributing factors to fair housing issues and must be significant and meaningful enough to overcome identified patterns and trends. Actions must have specific commitments, milestones, geographic targeting, and metrics or numeric objectives.

The Housing Element shall describe the means by which consistency will be achieved with other general plan elements and community goals. (Gov. Code, § 65583, subd. (c)(7).) While the element described how consistency was achieved, it must also describe how it will be maintained during the planning period. For example, the element could include a program to conduct an internal consistency review of the General Plan as part of the annual General Plan implementation report required by Government Code section 65400. The annual report can also assist future updates of the housing element. For additional information and a sample program, see the Building Blocks at https://www.hcd.ca.gov/analysis-of-consistencywith- general-plan.

In addition, Appendix H describes responses to public comments, but must also describe how public input was considered and incorporated into the element. For additional information, see the

VIA EMAIL: [email protected]
Dear Aaron,
Conversations with Joan Ryan regarding AB 2923 indicated interest by the City of Concord in including BART’s land in its 2023-2031 Housing Element . As you are aware, BART’s Transit-Oriented Development Program Work Plan currently does not categorize the Concord station areas as ‘Near-term (project initiation in 2020-2025)’.

Additionally, issues with the North Concord area and specific plans, a near-term project, are creating development bottlenecks.

It is our collective goal to deliver as much housing near transit as possible while supporting local jurisdictions in achieving the Bay Area’s regional housing goals.

However, BART has limited staff resources and few funding sources for the infrastructure - most notably parking replacement - that is often required to free-up space on BART’s land fo r development. Given current resources, it will be challenging for BART to support development of all the land proposed in BART partner jurisdictions’ Housing Elements during the 2023-2031 cycle.

Delivering transit -oriented development (TOD) projects on BART’s land is much more complex and time consuming than development projects on private land and requires strong partnerships and commitment between BART and local jurisdictions.

As noted in the previous letter issued on March 7, 2022, BART’s TOD Work Pla n prioritizes development in its station areas based on the following three criteria:

1. Market readiness for TOD

2. Local support for TOD

3. Infrastructure needs
If conditions have changed since the last assessment in 2019/2020, the timeframe for TOD development in station areas can be updated in BART’s TOD Work Plan .

Additional key considerations by BART for prioritizing development projects are 1) availability of local funding and resources to support development, including community outreach, affordable housing, and infrastructure , and 2) seamless coordination with local jurisdiction staff.

Jurisdictions with station areas that are currently listed in BART’s TOD Work Plan timeframes of Mid -term or Long -term need to meet the following conditions to be considered for prioritization:

1. Local Support for TOD:
a. Local Support and Funding: First and foremost, BART views TOD projects on its land as BART and local jurisdiction partnerships. BART TOD projects are civic destinations, transformative to the community, and often includes off-site improvements. The City of Concord must be committed to working closely with BART to find funds and resources to facilitate community outreach, discussions, and decisions on TOD development and area-wide parking.

ATTACHMENT 5

July 25, 2022

It takes several years of pre-development work prior to issuance of a Request for Proposal for developers, therefore, any development of BART land within the planning period of 2023-2031 requires sufficient dedicated BART and C ounty staff time to advance a TOD project within a reasonable timeframe.
b. Prohousing Designation: BART will prioritize projects in jurisdictions that are pursuing a Prohousing Designation by California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The Prohousing Designation is emblematic of local support for housing and provides jurisdictions with an advantage such as priority processing or funding points for certain funding programs. This is a designation that has emerged from HCD since BART originally completed its work plan.
c. Environmental Studies: Locally supportive zoning is a minimum standard for gauging local support. For BART’s purposes, BART will determine that local zoning is supportive of TOD if the density allowed is 75 units per acre or greater, and such a density is assumed in environmental documents.

2. Infrastructure Needs:
a. Station Access and Parking Strategies: BART has evaluated its development priorities based on the anticipated cost of new infrastructure, including parking replacement. As such, until BART is able to secure external sources of funding to support construction of necessary infrastructure, BART ca nnot pursue development. In areas requiring substantial amounts of parking (e.g. auto dependent and auto reliant stations, partner jurisdictions will need to support BART in securing funding for parking replacement or other station access improvements.

Further, to address potential community opposition to replacing surface parking with housing, the City of Concord should plan for and implement a locally led parking resource assessment and management plan for at least ¼-mile radius around the station area. I t should identify parking opportunities for BART riders that would minimize the number of spaces to be included the TOD project and address spillover parking concerns by neighbors. BART staff will work with the jurisdiction to provide support and guidance as needed but implementation of a parking management plan will be a local requirement.

3. BART Policies and Standards: Any development on BART’s land is subject to BART’s review procedures and approval s and shall follow relevant guidelines, policies, and regulations. The jurisdiction should commit to support and meet BART ’s policies and standards. Most of these policies and are summarized on our TOD Guidelines and Procedures webpage.

We look forward to building our partnerships with the City of Concord to realize our shared goal of increasing the amount of housing near transit. Please contact us to further our conversation on advancing TOD projects on BART’s land.

Sincerely,

________________________________________
