STAFF REPORT
Meeting: City Council - Mar 17 2026
Agenda Heading: CONSENT CALENDAR
Staff Contact: Diana Perkins, City Manager
Department: City Manager
Title: 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
Recommendation(s):

Staff recommends the City Council accept the 2025 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and direct staff to file the report with the State of California.

Background Information:

Since 1969, California has required that all local governments adequately plan to meet the housing needs of everyone in the community. California’s local governments meet this requirement by adopting Housing Elements as part of the General Plan.

In accordance with Government Code section 65400, each jurisdiction must prepare an Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status and progress in implementing the Housing Element using forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Each jurisdiction’s APR must be submitted to HCD and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research by April 1 of each year covering the previous calendar year.

The 2025 APR (Attached) provides an update on the City’s progress in implementing the RHNA requirements of the 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element. The APR describes the City’s accomplishments that contribute toward meeting its Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and the required programs.

Analysis:

RHNA Progress – Number of New Units
The following table shows the number of new housing units that have been issued building permits for current Housing Element 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element planning period, as shown in Table B of the APR form.:

Building Permits Issued for New Housing Units (APR Table B) Year New ADUs New Houses Total
July 1, 2022 –
December 31, 2022 14 1 15
2023 13 7 20
2024 9 6 15

Building Permits Issued for New Housing Units (APR Table B) 2025 3 13 16
Total 39 27 66

RHNA Progress – Affordability of New Units
In addition to the total number of building permits issued for new housing units, the APR also reports on the progress made towards the required affordability levels for new housing unit. The affordability level for all new single-family houses falls in the Above Moderate category as none of these for-sale housing units have been dedicated for lower income categories.

ADUs/JADUs are considered rental units as they secondary units to the main house and are not available for sale separately. The affordability level for each ADU/JADU permitted is determined based on the survey responses from the property owner. At the time of the building permit application review for a new ADU/JADU, staff provides a survey to the property owner asking about the purpose of the ADU/JADU and the expected rent to be charged. The property owner completes the survey before the building permit is approved.

Table B of the attached APR details the affordability categories for each new housing unit permitted.

This information is summarized below by showing the required number of new housing units in each affordability category and the actual number of building permit issued since the beginning of the planning period:

RHNA and New Housing Units for 2023-2031 6th Cycle Housing Element (APR Table B) Income Level RHNA Allocation Number of Building Permits Issued through 2025*
Very Low 53 24
Low 30 7
Moderate 31 7
Above Moderate 79 28
Total 193 66
 Including permits issued from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 as these count towards the 6th Cycle Housing Element
Housing Programs
The attached Annual Progress Report also reports on the status on the programs in the Housing Element, Table D of the Attachment. The current Housing Element includes a total of 28 programs to be completed during this cycle, which is through 2031. Ten of the programs have been completed, 14 are annual/on-going programs, three are in-progress. And one has not started. The one program that has not started is a mid-cycle review of the status of the Housing Element, which cannot begin until 2027.

California Environmental Quality Act:

The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(4) in that it is a

fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potential significant impact on the environment.

Public Noticing:

The City Council's agenda was posted at City Hall and the agenda as well as this report appears on the City's website.

Risk and costs associated with the planning entitlement timelines act as a deterrent to housing developers. The City will monitor average processing times for ministerial and discretionary development permits, and use data on processing times and applications to track review times and trends in development. The City will identify revisions to the City’s procedures in order to expedite the development review process, such as removing multiple permit requirements, especially for special needs housing and affordable housing for very low, low and moderate-income households.

Dec-25 6th Cycle Continuous
The Council has approved various ordinances to improve the permitting process including transitioning to electronic permitting and removing entitlement reviews for accessory structures and certain roof modifications. Other streamlining efforts are continuous and ongoing.

B. Site Development Permits
Consistent application of City regulations and Design Standards facilitate new development and increase certainty for housing developers. The City will continue to require Site Development Permit approval for all new homes (manufactured homes will continue to be reviewed consistent with state law) and require project consistency with the City Objective Development Design Standards. The following are exempt from Site Development Permit approval in accordance with State Law: Accessory Dwelling Units; and Units subject to SB 9 California Housing Opportunity and More Efficiency (HOME) Act which enables homeowners to split
their single-family residential lot into two separate lots and build up to two new housing units on each.Manufactured homes are currently reviewed in accordance with state law, the City’s Objective Development Design Standards will be updated to expressly state this.

Dec-31 6th Cycle Continuous
City regulations are consistently applied in order to provide certainty for housing projects. Staff continues to work with project applicant's to ensure projects are compliant with the development standards and proceed through the review process as quickly as possible.

I. Accessory Dwelling
Units
Accessory dwelling units are complete
independent housing units that can be either detached or attached from an existing single-family residence. Based on their relatively small size, and because they do not require paying for land or major new infrastructure, accessory dwelling units ("ADUs") are considered affordable by design. ADUs can provide affordable housing options for family members, seniors, students, in-home health care providers, and other small household types. ADUs can also be useful to generate additional rental income for the homeowner. The City will continue to administer and improve the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) Program, with the following actions: Continue to survey affordability, use, and production of ADUs, including amnesty ADUs; annually. If ADU construction goals,
affordability goals, or availability/use of such units are not met on an annual basis as reviewed with the Annual Progress Report, within six months of such annual review the city will consider other incentives and re-zoning to ensure the RHNA requirements will be met; Provide an ADU amnesty program that allows and incentivizes property owners 12/31/2031 6th Cycle Continuous
Staff continues to survey affordability, use, and production of ADUs in the City.

An ADU Amnesty Program
