Item #08
Date: March 17, 2026
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kathy Pease, Planning Consultant
Jim Schaad, City Manager
Subject: 2024 Annual Housing Progress Report
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution accepting the 2025 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports.
Summary
State law (Senate Bill 1333) requires the City to submit a Housing Annual Progress Report (APR) and a General Plan Annual Progress Report to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) and Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) (formerly the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) by April 1st of each year. The attached General Plan Annual Progress report provides an overview of the City’s General Plan implementation in calendar year 2025.
Background
State law requires that all cities and counties create a Housing APR spreadsheet that describes the community’s progress toward implementing the Housing Element. The Housing Element APR fulfills statutory requirements to report certain housing information, including the local agency's progress toward meeting its share of regional housing needs (i.e., applications, entitlements, permits, and certificates of occupancy); certain rezoning activities; actions taken toward completion of housing element programs, and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the development of housing (Government Codes Sections 65584.3(c) and 65584.5(b)(5)).
Staff is required to submit copies of the Housing APR and General Plan Draft APR to both HCD and by April 1, 2026, in order to meet the deadline. State law requires that the City Council accept the progress reports. This past year the city received building permits for xxxxx units.

Submission of the documents is vital to the interests of the City because if the reports are not submitted, the state would deem the city out of compliance with the Housing Element and not eligible for state grants.
The Housing Annual Progress reports the city’s progress in meeting its Housing Element obligations for the years 2021-2029. The City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) during this timeframe is 167 units.
Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The preparation of the Annual Progress Reports is an unfunded state mandate and is paid through the City’s General Fund.
