TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 Third Quarter Report on the Capital Improvement Program
Background and Analysis
This report summarizes the status of the various projects in the City of Oakley Capital Improvement Program (CIP) at the end of the Third Quarter for FY 2024/25.
The City's CIP is a multi-year forecast of capital needs that includes new construction projects and planned improvements to existing facilities. The CIP establishes structure by identifying, prioritizing, approving, and funding capital improvement projects. Since the demand for capital projects typically exceeds the amount of available funds, projects are prioritized based on the City Council’s Strategic Goals.
The following highlights some of the projects and their progress in the Third Quarter of FY 2024/25 (January-March 2025):
1. Oakley Regional Community Park Project
Project # 176
Schedule: Project Master Planning is underway
Budget: $0
Funding Source:
This project transforms a 55-acre site at the end of Sellers Avenue that was given to the City as part of the development agreements with the Emerson, Gilbert, and Burroughs development projects. This site had several deteriorated structures related to a dairy farm that had been closed for decades. The first phase of this project was to demolish and remove the abandoned structures, which were a safety concern, and to clean up the site. This task was accomplished in the summer of 2019. In March of 2021, the City applied for a State Proposition 68 grant to fund the first phase of this project and did not qualify for the grant. The construction of the Oakley Regional Park will span several years as funding is secured through a combination of Grants and local funds. A new Master Planning study of this site was prepared and approved by the City Council in spring 2024. The study outlined the community and City Council preferences on the features that this park would have and will be used to pursue grant funding for the implementation of this park master plan over the coming years.
Approved and
Forwarded to the
City Council

2. East Cypress Road Widening (Knightsen Avenue to Jersey Island Road) Project Project # 247
Schedule: Construction is underway
Budget: $19,287,720
Funding Source: Traffic Impact Fee Fund, Gas Tax, RMRA, Measure J The growth and development of new subdivision projects along the East Cypress Road corridor has necessitated various infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increased traffic volumes on this road. This project is part of a multi-phase project that was started in 2022 to construct the new East Cypress Road to modern City standards.
This project will widen and improve East Cypress Road from Knightsen Avenue to west of Jersey Island Road. The improvements will include a new 6-lane roadway, curb, gutter, sidewalk, bicycle lanes, traffic signal, streetlight, and landscaped median island. The construction of this project is underway, and it is anticipated to be completed by fall 2025. This project will complement CIP 302 and 310 that will construct the new East Cypress Road to Bethel Island Road.
3. Irrigation Well Installation at City’s Freedom Basin Project Project # 265
Schedule: Construction is underway
Budget: $400,000
Funding Source: Public Facilities and Park Impact Fee Fund This project will install a new irrigation well adjacent to O’Hara Avenue next to the City owned storm drain basin, more commonly known as Freedom basin. This new well will provide the City with an independent, stable, and continuous source of water to irrigate the large field that is used by an assortment of leagues for sporting activities.
The existing well used to irrigate the field is owned and operated by the High School District, and due to its continuous breakdowns, this well is not a reliable source to provide the massive amount of irrigation water needed for this field. It is anticipated that the construction work will be completed by the end of spring 2025 and the new well in service for the hot summer months and heavy use of irrigation water. 13 STAFF REPORT

4. Laurel Road Extension Project (Teton Road to Sellers Avenue) Project # 273
Schedule: Design is underway
Budget: $360,000
Funding Source: Traffic Impact Fee Fund
This Project will extend Laurel Road from Teton Road to Sellers Avenue, providing an alternate and much needed secondary route for the residents of far east Oakley along East Cypress Road. Currently, the only major access in and out of far east Oakley is via East Cypress Road. This current route along East Cypress Road passes by an elementary and middle school and crosses the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad tracks. Traffic volumes have increased over the years and continue to grow with the new housing developments in far east Oakley. Extending Laurel Road from Teton Road to Sellers Avenue will provide much-needed direct access to Highway 4 and job centers in the Bay Area and reduce traffic congestion from East Cypress Road.
This project will construct a new bridge across the BNSF railroad tracks and construct a new 4-lane roadway with curb, gutter, sidewalk, medians, and streetlights. In addition, a new traffic signal will be constructed at the intersection of Laurel Road and Sellers Avenue. The preliminary design of this project is completed. Staff will be working on the Right of Way acquisition process and securing funding for the construction of this project, which is estimated to be nearly $40M.
5. Laurel Road Widening Project (O'Hara Avenue to Cloverbrook Avenue) Project # 280
Schedule: Construction is underway
Budget: $8,931,317
Funding Source: Traffic Impact Fee Fund, ARPA, Streets Rehab Fund, RMRA Laurel Road from O'Hara Avenue to Cloverbrook Avenue is the last section of Laurel Road that needs to be widened and improved. Laurel Road is a major Arterial Road and the City's designated truck route with a direct connection to Highway 4. This section of Laurel Road has not been widened or improved due to the lack of Right of Way and is starting to deteriorate due to the large volume of vehicles that use Laurel Road every day. Staff worked for the past few years with the property owners at the intersection of Laurel Road and O’Hara Avenue and secured the necessary right of way for the roadway widening. The construction of this project is currently underway and anticipated to be completed by fall 2025. This project will complement the new Safeway Shopping Center that is also under construction. 14 STAFF REPORT

6. Enrico Cinquini Park Construction Project
Project # 281
Schedule: Construction contract awarded
Budget: $5,200,000
Funding Source: Park Impact Fee Fund
The developer of the Stonewood Subdivision, a collection of 262 lots, was conditioned to construct a new park (Enrico Cinquini Park) at the intersection of Rose Avenue and Carpenter Road. The obligation of the developer is the total amount of their Park Impact Fee ($2.1M), which would not be sufficient to construct this park and its associated facilities and features. As a result, the City will design and construct this park by utilizing the Park Impact Fee obligation of the developer, as well as supplementing it with additional City Park Impact fees. This beautiful and feature packed park for the community will include a new natural turf field, site grading, landscaping and irrigation, a half basketball court, a bocce ball court, a cornhole court, a splashpad water feature, a playground, restroom, and a covered picnic area. The construction of this project is anticipated to start in summer 2025 and completed in summer 2026.
7. East Cypress Road Widening (Jersey Island Road to Bethel Island Road) Project Project # 302
Schedule: Design is underway
Budget: $309,234
Funding Source: East Contra Costa Regional Fee & Finance Authority (ECCRFFA), Federal Grant
The growth and development of new subdivision projects along the East Cypress Road corridor has necessitated various infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increased traffic volumes on this road. This project will widen and improve East Cypress Road from Jersey Island Road to Bethel Island Road. The improvements will include roadway widening, bicycle lanes, curb and gutter, sidewalks, traffic signals, underground utilities, and median landscaping. The widening will complement the similar improvements that are being constructed on East Cypress Road from Knightsen Avenue to west of Jersey Island Road (CIP 247). The design of this project is underway, and construction is anticipated to start in summer 2025 and be completed by end of 2026.

8. Public Works Operations Building Remodeling Project
Project # 303
Schedule: Construction is complete
Budget: $260,000
Funding Source: Public Facilities Fund, General Capital Project The Public Works Operations Building used to be the suite of the former ACE Hardware Store. Since the City purchased this building, there have not been any major improvements related to the office spaces in the building. With the growth of the Public Works Department and increased demands for services from the community, this project will remodel the inside of the building to make a better functional workspace for the staff and their operations. The construction of this project has been completed.
9. East Cypress Road Widening at CCWD Canal Crossing Project Project # 310
Schedule: Construction is underway
Budget: $9,500,000
Funding Source: Traffic Impact Fee, General Capital Project Fund, Gas Tax, and Streets Maintenance and Rehab Fund
Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) has undertaken the process of replacing the open canal in Oakley from the canal crossing near Main Street and has extended eastwards behind the Cypress Grove, Emerson, Delaney, and Burroughs subdivisions, up to east Cypress Road. CCWD has also undergrounded the remainder of this canal from south of East Cypress Road to its connection point at Rock Slough. The existing canal crosses East Cypress Road and will have to be replaced as part of the City’s East Cypress Road widening project. The City is collaborating with CCWD in all phases of the canal underground project and at East Cypress Road. The City will take the lead in undergrounding the canal and construction of the new and widened roadway. This project will not only underground approximately 600’ of the open canal but also widen East Cypress Road to City standards to complement and connect to the improvements that are being constructed on this roadway as part of CIP 247. The construction of this project is underway and anticipated to be completed by fall 2026.
10. FY 2024/25 Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Reconstruction Project Project # 311

This project repaired and replaced damaged concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalk in the community as part of the 50-50 cost sharing program between the City and property owners. This project has been successfully implemented for the past few years and has continued into FY 2024/25. This project has helped to provide safe pedestrian facilities and reduce liability and claims for trip and fall accidents. The construction of this project is underway and anticipated to be completed by end of spring 2025.
11. Oakley Library & Community Center Project
Project # 318
Schedule: Concept Planning is underway
Budget: $10,500,000
Funding Source: Special Community Projects Fund, General Fund, Public Facilities Impact Fee Fund, Community Stakeholder Donations
The lack of a modern and functional Oakley Library and Community Center has been a topic of many discussions with the City Council and community residents in recent years, as the small section of the High School Library that is provided as a community library is not large enough to provide the wide range of services that the community desires. The City has committed $10.5M for this project, estimates of an additional $2M in residual value from the sale of a nearby property and the Friends of the Oakley Library have raised approximately $980,000 to supplement the City funds that are allocated for this project. This level of funding would allow for an 11,500 to 13,500 sq. ft. facility to be constructed in coming years.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Community Health and Safety goals.
Fiscal Impact

The Project is currently comprised of APN 035-190-017-0, which is currently comprised of two existing residences and is anticipated to be comprised of two single family residential lots after the proposed lot split.
The Conditions of Approval for the Project require the Developer to mitigate the financial impact their project has on the City’s police services budget. The City of Oakley previously formed the Oakley Special Police Tax Area that authorizes the levy of an annual special tax on parcels to mitigate their financial impact to the City’s police services budget. The property owner for the Project has requested the City assist with annexing the Project into the Oakley Special Police Tax Area to satisfy their Conditions of Approval.
On March 11, 2025, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 4-25 which would authorize a special tax for police services within Zone 196 subject to property owner voter approval. On April 15, 2025, the City Clerk conducted the property owner election. There was one (1) ballot issued to the property owner representing the Project. The City Clerk tabulated the property owner ballot, and the property owner was in favor of annexing into the Oakley Special Police Tax Area as Zone 196.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Park and Open Space and Finance and Fiscal Responsibility section goals.

There will be no financial impact to the City's General Fund. The applicant has funded all costs associated with the annexation of Zone 196 to the Oakley Special Police Tax Area. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 special tax rate for single family parcels is $1,330.64/parcel (Fiscal Year 2024/25 rates). The Project is anticipated to consist of two single family residential lots after the proposed lot split. Therefore, successful creation of the Zone is expected to provide up to $2,661.28 (in Fiscal Year 2024/25 dollars) in revenue annually at build-out. The taxes can be collected on the property tax rolls commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/26.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council ratify the election and adopt Ordinance No. 4-25 authorizing the levy of a special tax on parcels of land within Tax Area Zone 196 within the Oakley Special Police Tax Area for Police Protection Services for the 4601 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-978) project located at 4601 Rose Avenue (APN 035-190-017-0)

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY
ESTABLISHING OAKLEY SPECIAL POLICE TAX AREA ZONE 196 WITHIN THE
OAKLEY SPECIAL POLICE TAX AREA FOR A SPECIAL TAX FOR POLICE PROTECTION SERVICES FOR THE 4601 ROSE AVENUE URBAN LOT SPLIT (MS 24-978) PROJECT LOCATED AT 4601 ROSE AVENUE (APN 035-190-017-0) The Voters of the City of Oakley do ordain as follows:
Section 1. Purpose, Intent and Authority.
It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to authorize the levy of a special tax on real property that is within Oakley Special Police Tax Area Zone 196 of the Oakley Special Police Tax Area as shown on the Exhibit A map attached hereto in order to provide funding for police protection to serve the property and persons within said Zone.
This Tax is a special tax within the meaning of Section 4 of Article XIIlA of the California Constitution. Because the burden of this tax falls upon property, this tax also is a property tax, but this tax is not determined according to nor in any manner based upon the value of property; this tax is levied on a parcel and use of property basis. Insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance or with legislation authorizing special taxes and insofar as applicable to a property tax that is not based on value, such provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and of Article XIII of the California Constitution as relate to ad valorem property taxes are intended to apply to the collection and administration of this tax (Section 4 of this Ordinance), as authorized by law.
The revenues raised by this tax are to be used solely for the purposes of obtaining, furnishing, operating, and maintaining police protection equipment or apparatus, for paying the salaries and benefits of police protection personnel, and for such other police protection service expenses as are deemed necessary for the benefit of the residents of Zone 196.
This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to the authority of Government Code Section 53978.
Section 2. Definitions.
The following definitions shall apply throughout this Ordinance.
A. "Constant first year dollars" shall mean an actual dollar amount which, in years subsequent to the first fiscal year the tax is levied, shall have the same purchasing price as the base amount in first fiscal year dollars as measured by the actual cost of services for the City of Oakley's cost of obtaining police services. The base amount shall be the amount of tax per parcel as specified in Section 3.A herein. The adjustments from actual 21 Ordinance No. 4-25 Page 2 of 4
to constant dollars shall be made by use of the actual cost of services, as specified in Section 3.B herein.
B. "Fiscal year" means the period of July 1 through the following June 30.
C. "Oakley Special Police Tax Area" includes all properties within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Oakley.
D. Oakley Special Police Tax Area Zone 196 (hereinafter called "Zone") means that portion of the incorporated area of the City of Oakley located within the boundaries as shown on the map Exhibit A hereto.
E. "Parcel" means the land and any improvements thereon, designated by an assessor's parcel map and parcel number and carried on the secured property tax roll of Contra Costa County. For the purposes of this Ordinance, parcel does not include any land or improvements outside the boundaries of the Zone, nor any land or improvements owned by any governmental entity.
F. Pursuant to Government Code §53978, "voter" means a person owning real property within the Zone at the time this Ordinance was adopted, as shown on the last equalized assessment role prepared by the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office.
Section 3. Amount and Level of Taxes.
The tax per year on each parcel in the Zone shall not exceed the amount applicable to the parcel, as specified below.
A. For First Fiscal Year:
The tax per year for the first fiscal year (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025) shall be the amount of Tax Per Parcel for a Property Use Code Category as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. If any new development, including new residential units, is completed prior to the tax being effective for the first fiscal year, the owner of the Parcel, as shown on the latest assessment roll, shall pay the tax for the remainder of such fiscal year on a prorated basis to the City, no later than receipt of Certificate of Occupancy or final building permit inspection.
22 Ordinance No. 4-25 Page 3 of 4
B. For Subsequent Fiscal Year:
The tax rates shown in Exhibit B shall be automatically adjusted on July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2025 by the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area and applying that rate to the prior year amounts for each property use code category. However, the City Council reserves the right to itself the opportunity to adjust the rate in the following year if the CPI adjustment is insufficient to reimburse the City for the costs of providing levels of police services as approved by the City Council.
In no event shall the tax per parcel for any fiscal year be less than the amount established for the previous fiscal year.
C. The taxes levied on each parcel pursuant to this Article shall be a charge upon the parcel and shall be due and collectible as set forth in Section 4, below.
Section 4. Collection and Administration.
A. Taxes as Liens Against the Property.
The amount of taxes for each parcel each year shall constitute a lien on such property, in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2187, and shall have the same effect as an ad valorem real property tax lien until fully paid.
B. Collection.
The taxes on each parcel shall be billed on the secured roll tax bills for ad valorem property taxes and are to be collected in the same manner in which the County of Contra Costa collects secured roll ad valorem property taxes. Insofar as feasible and insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance, the times and procedure regarding exceptions, due dates, installment payments, corrections, cancellations, refunds, late payments, penalties, liens, and collections for secured roll ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to the collection of this tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, as to this tax:
i) The secured roll tax bills shall be the only notices required for this tax, and ii) The homeowners and veterans exemptions shall not be applicable because such exemptions are determined by dollar amount of value.
C. Costs of Administration by County.
The reasonable costs incurred by the County officers collecting and administering this tax shall be deducted from the collected taxes.
23 Ordinance No. 4-25 Page 4 of 4
Section 5. Severability Clause.
If any article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance. The voters of the Zone hereby declare that they would have adopted the remainder of this Ordinance, including each article, section, subsection, sentenced phrase or clause, irrespective of the invalidity of any other article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause.
Section 6. Effective Date and Posting.
This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its confirmation by two-thirds of the voters voting within the Zone in an election to be held on April 15, 2025 so that taxes shall first be collected hereunder for the tax year beginning July 1, 2025. If not confirmed by two-thirds of the voters participating in the election, this Ordinance and the tax approved herein shall not become effective.

FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Ratify Election: Adopt Ordinance No. 5-25 Authorizing the Levy of a Special Tax on Parcels of Land within Tax Area Zone 197 within the Oakley Special Police Tax Area for Police Protection Services for the 3901 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-979) project located at 3901 Rose Avenue (APN 034-290-099-0)
Background and Analysis
On September 16, 2024, the City Zoning Administrator approved a tentative map with certain Conditions of Approval for the proposed 3901 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-979) project (the “Project”). The Project is designated as Residential Low/Medium in the Oakley 2020 General Plan and zoned R-6 (Single Family Residential) district on the City of Oakley Zoning Map. The Project is currently comprised of APN 034-290-099-0 which currently contains two existing residences and is anticipated to be comprised of two single family residential lots after the proposed lot split.
The Conditions of Approval for the Project require the Developer to mitigate the financial impact their project has on the City’s police services budget. The City of Oakley previously formed the Oakley Special Police Tax Area that authorizes the levy of an annual special tax on parcels to mitigate their financial impact to the City’s police services budget. The property owner for the Project has requested the City assist with annexing the Project into the Oakley Special Police Tax Area to satisfy their Conditions of Approval.
On March 11, 2025, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 5-25 which would authorize a special tax for police services within Zone 197 subject to property owner voter approval. On April 15, 2025, the City Clerk conducted the property owner election. There was one (1) ballot issued to the property owner representing the Project. The City Clerk tabulated the property owner ballot, and the property owner was in favor of annexing into the Oakley Special Police Tax Area as Zone 197.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Park and Open Space and Finance and Fiscal Responsibility section goals.

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US Fiscal Impact
There will be no financial impact to the City's General Fund. The applicant has funded all costs associated with the annexation of Zone 197 to the Oakley Special Police Tax Area. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 special tax rate for single family parcels is $1,330.64/parcel (Fiscal Year 2024/25 rates). The Project is anticipated to consist of two single family residential lots after the proposed lot split. Therefore, successful creation of the Zone is expected to provide up to $2,661.28 (in Fiscal Year 2024/25 dollars) in revenue annually at build-out. The taxes can be collected on the property tax rolls commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/26.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council ratify the election and adopt Ordinance No. 5-25 authorizing the levy of a special tax on parcels of land within Tax Area Zone 197 within the Oakley Special Police Tax Area for Police Protection Services for the 3901 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-979) project located at 3901 Rose Avenue (APN 034-290-099-0)

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OAKLEY
ESTABLISHING OAKLEY SPECIAL POLICE TAX AREA ZONE 197 WITHIN THE
OAKLEY SPECIAL POLICE TAX AREA FOR A SPECIAL TAX FOR POLICE PROTECTION SERVICES FOR THE 3901 ROSE AVENUE URBAN LOT SPLIT (MS 24-979) PROJECT LOCATED AT 3901 ROSE AVENUE (APN 034-290-099-0) The Voters of the City of Oakley do ordain as follows:
Section 1. Purpose, Intent and Authority.
It is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to authorize the levy of a special tax on real property that is within Oakley Special Police Tax Area Zone 197 of the Oakley Special Police Tax Area as shown on the Exhibit A map attached hereto in order to provide funding for police protection to serve the property and persons within said Zone.
This Tax is a special tax within the meaning of Section 4 of Article XIIlA of the California Constitution. Because the burden of this tax falls upon property, this tax also is a property tax, but this tax is not determined according to nor in any manner based upon the value of property; this tax is levied on a parcel and use of property basis. Insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance or with legislation authorizing special taxes and insofar as applicable to a property tax that is not based on value, such provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and of Article XIII of the California Constitution as relate to ad valorem property taxes are intended to apply to the collection and administration of this tax (Section 4 of this Ordinance), as authorized by law.
The revenues raised by this tax are to be used solely for the purposes of obtaining, furnishing, operating, and maintaining police protection equipment or apparatus, for paying the salaries and benefits of police protection personnel, and for such other police protection service expenses as are deemed necessary for the benefit of the residents of Zone 197.
This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to the authority of Government Code Section 53978.
Section 2. Definitions.
The following definitions shall apply throughout this Ordinance.
A. "Constant first year dollars" shall mean an actual dollar amount which, in years subsequent to the first fiscal year the tax is levied, shall have the same purchasing price as the base amount in first fiscal year dollars as measured by the actual cost of services for the City of Oakley's cost of obtaining police services. The base amount shall be the amount of tax per parcel as specified in Section 3.A herein. The adjustments from actual 30 Ordinance No. 5-25 Page 2 of 4
to constant dollars shall be made by use of the actual cost of services, as specified in Section 3.B herein.
B. "Fiscal year" means the period of July 1 through the following June 30.
C. "Oakley Special Police Tax Area" includes all properties within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Oakley.
D. Oakley Special Police Tax Area Zone 197 (hereinafter called "Zone") means that portion of the incorporated area of the City of Oakley located within the boundaries as shown on the map Exhibit A hereto.
E. "Parcel" means the land and any improvements thereon, designated by an assessor's parcel map and parcel number and carried on the secured property tax roll of Contra Costa County. For the purposes of this Ordinance, parcel does not include any land or improvements outside the boundaries of the Zone, nor any land or improvements owned by any governmental entity.
F. Pursuant to Government Code §53978, "voter" means a person owning real property within the Zone at the time this Ordinance was adopted, as shown on the last equalized assessment role prepared by the Contra Costa County Assessor's Office.
Section 3. Amount and Level of Taxes.
The tax per year on each parcel in the Zone shall not exceed the amount applicable to the parcel, as specified below.
A. For First Fiscal Year:
The tax per year for the first fiscal year (July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025) shall be the amount of Tax Per Parcel for a Property Use Code Category as set forth on Exhibit B hereto. If any new development, including new residential units, is completed prior to the tax being effective for the first fiscal year, the owner of the Parcel, as shown on the latest assessment roll, shall pay the tax for the remainder of such fiscal year on a prorated basis to the City, no later than receipt of Certificate of Occupancy or final building permit inspection.
31 Ordinance No. 5-25 Page 3 of 4
B. For Subsequent Fiscal Year:
The tax rates shown in Exhibit B shall be automatically adjusted on July 1 of each year, beginning on July 1, 2025 by the increase in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area and applying that rate to the prior year amounts for each property use code category. However, the City Council reserves the right to itself the opportunity to adjust the rate in the following year if the CPI adjustment is insufficient to reimburse the City for the costs of providing levels of police services as approved by the City Council.
In no event shall the tax per parcel for any fiscal year be less than the amount established for the previous fiscal year.
C. The taxes levied on each parcel pursuant to this Article shall be a charge upon the parcel and shall be due and collectible as set forth in Section 4, below.
Section 4. Collection and Administration.
A. Taxes as Liens Against the Property.
The amount of taxes for each parcel each year shall constitute a lien on such property, in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2187, and shall have the same effect as an ad valorem real property tax lien until fully paid.
B. Collection.
The taxes on each parcel shall be billed on the secured roll tax bills for ad valorem property taxes and are to be collected in the same manner in which the County of Contra Costa collects secured roll ad valorem property taxes. Insofar as feasible and insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance, the times and procedure regarding exceptions, due dates, installment payments, corrections, cancellations, refunds, late payments, penalties, liens, and collections for secured roll ad valorem property taxes shall be applicable to the collection of this tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, as to this tax:
i) The secured roll tax bills shall be the only notices required for this tax, and ii) The homeowners and veterans exemptions shall not be applicable because such exemptions are determined by dollar amount of value.
C. Costs of Administration by County.
The reasonable costs incurred by the County officers collecting and administering this tax shall be deducted from the collected taxes.
32 Ordinance No. 5-25 Page 4 of 4
Section 5. Severability Clause.
If any article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance. The voters of the Zone hereby declare that they would have adopted the remainder of this Ordinance, including each article, section, subsection, sentenced phrase or clause, irrespective of the invalidity of any other article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause.
Section 6. Effective Date and Posting.
This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its confirmation by two-thirds of the voters voting within the Zone in an election to be held on April 15, 2025 so that taxes shall first be collected hereunder for the tax year beginning July 1, 2025. If not confirmed by two-thirds of the voters participating in the election, this Ordinance and the tax approved herein shall not become effective.

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Annexation No. 44 (4601 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-978)) to the City of Oakley Community Facilities District No. 2015-2 (Parks, Streetlight, Landscape and Stormwater Services)
Background and Analysis
On October 22, 2024, the City Zoning Administrator approved a tentative map with certain Conditions of Approval for the proposed 4601 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-978) project (the “Project”). The Project, located at 4601 Rose Avenue, is currently comprised of APN 035-190-017-0, which is currently comprised of two existing residences and is anticipated to be comprised of two single family residential lots after the proposed lot split.
The Conditions of Approval for the Project require the property owner to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets. On January 12, 2016, the Oakley City Council formed City of Oakley Community Facilities District No. 2015-2 (Parks, Streetlight, Landscape and Stormwater Services) (CFD No. 2015-2). CFD No. 2015-2 authorizes the annual levy of a special tax on parcels located within CFD No. 2015-2 to mitigate their financial impact to the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets. The property owner for the Project has requested that the City assist them with the annexation of their development into CFD No. 2015-2 to satisfy their conditions of approval.
Prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, the property owner for the Project executed the attached Unanimous Approval Form. This form constitutes unanimous approval and a unanimous vote by the property owner in favor of annexing their property to CFD No. 2015-2 including the subsequent annual levy of special taxes to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Park and Open Space and Finance and Fiscal Responsibility section goals.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no financial impact to the City's General Fund. The applicant has funded all costs associated with the annexation of their project to CFD No. 2015-2. The Fiscal Year 2024/25 special tax rates per single family parcel are as follows:

O (925) 625-7000 | F (925) 625-9859 | www.CI.Oakley.CA.US The Project is anticipated to consist of two (2) single family parcels. Therefore, successful annexation of the Project into CFD No. 2015-2 could provide up to $1,240 (in Fiscal Year 2024/25 dollars) in revenue annually after the proposed lot split. The taxes will be collected on the property tax rolls commencing in Fiscal Year 2025/26.
Staff Recommendation
The conditions of approval for the Project require the property owner to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets. Staff recommends that the City Council:

TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Annexation No. 45 (3901 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-979)) to the City of Oakley Community Facilities District No. 2015-2 (Parks, Streetlight, Landscape and Stormwater Services)
Background and Analysis
On September 16, 2024, the City Zoning Administrator approved a tentative map with certain Conditions of Approval for the proposed 3901 Rose Avenue Urban Lot Split (MS 24-979) project (the “Project”). The Project, located at 3901 Rose Avenue, is currently comprised of APN 034-290-099-0, is currently comprised of two existing residences and anticipated to be comprised of two single family residential lots after the proposed lot split.
The Conditions of Approval for the Project require the property owner to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets. On January 12, 2016, the Oakley City Council formed City of Oakley Community Facilities District No. 2015-2 (Parks, Streetlight, Landscape and Stormwater Services) ("CFD No. 2015-2”). CFD No. 2015-2 authorizes the annual levy of a special tax on parcels located within CFD No. 2015-2 to mitigate their financial impact to the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets. The property owner for the Project has requested that the City assist them with the annexation of their development into CFD No. 2015-2 to satisfy their conditions of approval.
Prior to tonight’s City Council meeting, the property owner for the Project executed the attached Unanimous Approval Form. This form constitutes unanimous approval and a unanimous vote by the property owner in favor of annexing their property to CFD No. 2015-2 including the subsequent annual levy of special taxes to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Park and Open Space and Finance and Fiscal Responsibility section goals.
Fiscal Impact
There will be no financial impact to the City's General Fund. The applicant has funded all costs associated with the annexation of their project to CFD No. 2015-2. The Fiscal Year 2024-25 special tax rates per single family parcel are as follows:

Therefore, successful annexation of the Project into CFD 2015-2 could provide up to $1,240 (in Fiscal Year 2024-25 dollars) in revenue annually after the proposed lot split. The taxes will be collected on the property tax rolls commencing in Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Staff Recommendation
The conditions of approval for the Project require the property owner to mitigate their project’s financial impact on the City’s parks, streetlighting, landscape and stormwater service budgets. Staff recommends that the City Council:

DATE: April 22, 2025
TO: Joshua McMurray, City Manager
FROM: Kevin Rohani, P.E., Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Approval of the City of Oakley’s Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) Growth Management Program Compliance Checklist for Allocation of Fiscal Year 2023/24 and 2024/25 Local Street Maintenance Improvement Funds
Background and Analysis
In order to be eligible for the Measure J funds, municipalities in Contra Costa County are required to submit a biennial self-certifying checklist to the Contra Costa Transportation Authority that details how the requirements of Measure J have been complied with. Measure J funds are provided on a fiscal year basis, while the checklist covers the calendar year. Each checklist addresses a specific fiscal year period and a different reporting period. For instance, the current check list is for Fiscal Years 2023/24 and 2024/25, but the reporting period is for calendar years 2022 and 2023.
When the City of Oakley incorporated, the self-certification process was done annually.
However, in 2000 the CCTA switched to a biennial reporting format. The City of Oakley has been found to be in compliance with CCTA requirements for each reporting cycle.
Each year, CCTA allocates approximately 18% of the Measure J sales tax collections to local municipalities in the form of Local Street Maintenance and Improvement funds. The remaining Measure J revenues are made available to local municipalities for various capital projects on a competitive basis. Local Street Maintenance and Improvement funds are distributed among municipalities based on their respective road miles and population.
Measure J guidelines require that the checklist be approved by the City Council prior to it being forwarded to CCTA for consideration. Staff have prepared the attached checklist package and attachments for consideration by the City Council and are recommending that the City Council certify the check list and adopt the resolution, authorizing the Mayor to sign the Growth Management Program Compliance checklist and forward it to CCTA prior to the June 30, 2025, submittal deadline. CCTA will then process the checklist pursuant to CCTA procedures and will notify the City that the City of Oakley checklist has been approved.
Consistency with the Oakley Strategic Plan 27+
This item is consistent with the Strategic Plan 27+ Finance and Fiscal Responsibility goals.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a major public infrastructure and planning tool for the City of Oakley. The CIP serves as a statement of the City's policies and financial abilities to manage the development of the community. The creation of a five- year CIP provides a systematic plan for providing infrastructure improvements within a prioritized framework and a general schedule for projects to proceed. Projects identified in the CIP meet the City’s General Plan. The first year reflects the adopted budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY). The remaining four years represent a schedule and estimate of future capital needs that may be funded, given projected revenues and priorities.
There are several benefits for developing and adopting a Capital Improvement Program. Not only does the CIP become a management tool for the City Council and City staff; a CIP also provides valuable information to the citizens, developers, and businesses who are interested in the development of the community. The CIP document will assist in leveraging available resources through the timing of projects, and the coordination of City projects with improvements constructed by other entities.
Despite the many benefits of a CIP, it is important to highlight the fact that this is a planning document. Changes can occur for many reasons. Revenues can fluctuate because of changing economic conditions or shifts in City policy.
Private economic decisions can also affect the timing, scale, and location of capital projects. The City of Oakley’s CIP reflects the Strategic Goals of the City Council and is a critical investment tool for the community to help promote the economic vitality and viability for the City of Oakley.
The focus of the proposed CIP for FY 2023/24 through FY 2027/28 is to maintain the core infrastructure of the City of Oakley by utilizing the most cost effective and creative approach. The CIP continues to prioritize and build new infrastructure for the community, which will enhance the quality of life for residents. In preparation of the CIP for FY 2023/24, a comprehensive review of prospective projects was performed.
133
CIP-6
The CIP for FY 2023/24 is divided into specific projects to address unique needs for each component of the City’s infrastructure system (e.g., Streets, Parks & Facilities). This approach provides funding for infrastructure maintenance, construction of new improvements, and the long-range goals for protecting the quality of the public infrastructure system in the City of Oakley. The funding for CIP projects is generally from the following sources: Measure J Sales Tax, Gas Tax, Development Traffic Impact Fees, Development Park Impact Fees, Federal & State Grants, Assessment District Funds, and the City’s General Fund. The revenues from Development Traffic Impact Fees and Development Park Impact Fees are dependent upon the private development activity and regional economic growth. The CIP for FY 2023/24 conservatively budgets a portion of these funding sources to account for unforeseen downturns in the regional economic and development activity.
There is a direct relationship between CIP project construction, economic development, and the vitality of the community. New residents want to come and live in a community that is vibrant and provides a wide range of amenities (e.g., Recreation Center, Library, etc.). Commercial developers also look to build in communities that thrive and provide amenities for today’s lifestyle. The construction of CIP projects helps to enhance amenities and the quality of life for the community residents, which in turn makes Oakley a desired community for private development. The increase in the level of private development activity will provide opportunities for the City to undertake projects with various infrastructure improvements to complement the private development projects.

PROPOSED CIP PROJECTS FOR FY 2023/24
Project #176, Oakley Regional Park Project – This project transforms a 55- acre site located at the north end of Sellers Avenue that was given to the City as part of the development agreements with the Emerson and Gilbert Ranch projects. This 55-acre site was an abandoned dairy farm that has been closed for decades. This project will construct a regional park at this site that will be a destination point for the Oakley community. A team of staff, consultants, and a Council sub-committee began the process of concept planning for this site in 2016. As a result of this work, a concept plan was developed and approved by the City Council. During 2019, there were further discussions with the community to solicit input as the concept plan was refined and adopted by the City Council to reflect the needs of the community and strategic goals of the City Council. This project will be a multi-phase project that will be designed and constructed over the coming years and would potentially cost over $60,000,000 to construct all its components. Funding for this project will be provided by a combination of grants and other local funds over several years. The first phase of this project was the demolition and removal of the abandoned and unsafe structures, which was completed in 2019. The city applied for two rounds of funding for this project from the State Proposition 68 State of California Grant in 2019 and 2021 and unfortunately was not awarded the grant. Staff will continue to explore other grant funding for this project to design and construct this project. During FY 2023/24 a new Master Planning study will be performed to solicit input from the community and various stakeholders on the features that are desired at this park and to ensure consistency with the new Oakley Strategic Plan 27+ that was adopted by City Council. The funding of the preliminary project design and site clean-up was allocated in FY 2016/17 and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #186, West Cypress Road Bridge at Contra Costa Canal Reconstruction Project - The existing West Cypress Road Bridge that crosses the Contra Costa Canal is structurally deficient according to the latest Caltrans inspections. It will need to be reconstructed to continue to be safe and remain in service. The City of Oakley does not have a designated funding source for replacing the City’s bridges and relies upon State grant programs for major bridge improvement projects. Staff will apply for Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) grant funding for this project and once funding has been secured for this project, the design 135
CIP-8
and construction of this project will be initiated in future years. The funding of the preliminary project design was allocated in FY 2016/17 and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #187, Main Street Bridge at Contra Costa Canal Rehabilitation Project - The existing Main Street Bridge that crosses the Contra Costa Canal needs rehabilitation to protect its structural integrity and to keep it off the Caltrans structurally deficient list. The City of Oakley does not have a designated funding source for repairing, maintaining, and improving the City’s bridges, and relies upon grant programs for major bridge improvement projects. Staff had applied for Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) grant funding for this project and secured funding which will be supplemented by local funds. The funding of the project design and construction was allocated in FY 2016/17 and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #189, Piper Lane Drainage Channel Trash Capture Device Project - The Piper Lane drainage channel is one of the major drainage outfalls from the City of Oakley to the Delta in which the City is responsible for its maintenance and operation. This is an open channel that flows freely to the Delta and based on the new permit issued by San Francisco Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB), it cannot convey trash to the open waters of the Delta. Historically, a large amount of trash and debris were transported to the Delta through this channel. This project will construct a new trash capture device at the upstream end of the channel near Vintage Parkway. The trash capture device will stop trash from flowing into the Delta and, as a result, puts the City in compliance with the SFRWQCB permit. The initial funding of this project was allocated in FY 2022/23 and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #205, Downtown Gateway Plaza Roadway, and Parking Lot Project - The Oakley Multi-Modal Roadway and Parking Lot Project features a new AMTRAK train platform station located north of Main Street in the area between 2nd Street and Norcross Lane. The facility will provide connections for the Tri Delta Transit bus service to the new train station, as well as from the new Park & Ride lot located at Cypress Road and Main Street. The platform station is strategically located downtown on Main Street, adjacent to the new Main Street Plaza that will be constructed as a part of the project. This area could be used for future civic events and 136
CIP-9
markets. The location is within a five-minute walking radius to City Hall, the Civic Center Park, and Main Street restaurants. The project will provide approximately 275 surface parking spaces for downtown merchants and customers in addition to supporting plaza activities held on the evenings and weekends. AMTRAK will entirely fund the design and construction of the new railroad platform station and the City will design and construct the associated public street and parking lot infrastructure. The construction of the project is currently underway, and the AMTRAK platform station construction is anticipated to start in early 2024. The construction of both projects is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2024. The funding for this project was allocated in FY 2017/18 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #211, Main Street/Rose Avenue Intersection Improvement Project – With the continued growth of the community and new subdivision development projects along the East Cypress Road corridor, the associated traffic volumes will increase. Improving the streets and traffic signals will be necessary to accommodate the added volume of traffic to these new neighborhoods. Main Street and Rose Avenue have operated as a stop sign controlled intersection, which is not sustainable for the long term, and therefore a traffic signal is needed at this location. City staff have been discussing this intersection improvement project with the management staff of Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) to explore opportunities that this project could address. The City needs better traffic flows at this intersection and ISD needs a second access point from their prospective development site to Main Street. Currently, the Vintage Parkway neighborhood has only one access to Main Street. Installing a signal at Main Street/Rose Avenue would benefit the neighborhood by providing a long desired secondary access for the residents. Having secondary access would not only alleviate congestion at the current intersection but would provide another option for emergency vehicles to access the neighborhood and allow quicker response times. The design of this project would start after a cost share agreement is reached between the City of Oakley and ISD. The funding for this project will be allocated in the CIP budget in futures years, after an agreement with ISD is finalized.
Project #215, Downtown Parking Lot Construction Project – As part of the continuing efforts to improve and enhance Downtown Oakley, this project will construct a new parking lot and associated roadway infrastructure. This 137
CIP-10
new parking lot construction will be in collaboration with the development project at the intersection of Main Street and Norcross Lane, which will construct a new modern retail building, “Oakley Mercantile”. This new parking lot is part of the City’s multi-phase downtown infrastructure improvement project. The project will be constructed on the north side of the Oakley Entrepreneur Center and at the east side of the Oakley Plaza shopping center. The construction of the project is currently underway and anticipated to be completed by the end of 2023.The funding for this project design and construction was allocated in the FY 2018/19 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #228, Civic Center Emergency Generator Project - The Civic Center campus, as the center of government for the Oakley community, does not currently have back-up power. In periods of PG&E power outages, the operations at the Civic Center that require electricity, come to a halt. This is not acceptable due to all the uncertainty that can happen in an emergency.
This project will install an Emergency Generator behind the Civic Center buildings to provide stand-by power during the periods of PG&E power outages, to ensure that the Civic Center, and most importantly, the Police Department operations will continue uninterrupted. The funding for this project design and construction was allocated in the FY 2019/20 budget, and as part of the FY 2023/24 budget, $100,000 from the ARPA Fund will be added to the project budget.
Project #231, Sellers Avenue (Riverrock Drive to CCWD Canal Crossing) Widening and Improvement Project – Sellers Avenue is a 2-lane road that was constructed by Contra Costa County decades ago. The section of Sellers Avenue from East Cypress Road, to the north end of the road at the gate to the future Oakley Regional Community Park is destined to be widened to 4 lanes with curb and gutter, sidewalks, landscaped medians, bike lanes, and street lighting. Presently, the section of Sellers Avenue from East Cypress Road to Riverrock Drive has been widened and improved by the developers of the Emerson and Gilbert Ranch projects. This project will widen and improve the remaining section of Sellers Avenue from the intersection at Riverrock Drive to the gate of the future Oakley Regional Community Park.
The above referenced developers paid the City the cost for curb and gutter, sidewalk, and one lane of roadway. The City will pay the remaining construction costs for the second lane and medians for this project. The timing of design and construction of this project will be in coordination with 138
CIP-11
the Oakley Regional Community Park Project CIP # 176, when that project funding is secured. The funding for this project will be allocated in the CIP budget in future years.
Project #247, East Cypress Road Widening (Knightsen Avenue to Jersey Island Road) Project - This project will widen and fully reconstruct East Cypress Road east of Knightsen Avenue to Jersey Island Road. The growth and development of new subdivision projects along the East Cypress Road corridor has necessitated various infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increased traffic volumes on this roadway. These improvements include the widening of East Cypress Road to City standards along the Emerson and Gilbert Ranch projects. The City of Oakley also owns a property along East Cypress Road between Knightsen Avenue and Jersey Island Road. This property is part of the Burroughs Subdivision development site, and in collaboration with the developer of this subdivision, this City capital project will reconstruct East Cypress Road from Knightsen Avenue to Jersey Island Road. In following City of Oakley policy for frontage improvements, both the City and the developer will pay their share of this roadway construction project, which will be managed and constructed by the City. The funding for this project was allocated in FY 2021/22 budget and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #249, Recreation Center Emergency Generator Project - This project will install an emergency generator at the Oakley Recreation Center. The Recreation Center campus is the center of recreational activities for the Oakley community, and currently does not have a back-up power source. In periods of PG&E power outages, the operations at the Recreation Center that require electricity come to a halt. This project will install an Emergency Generator behind the Recreation Center building to provide stand-by power during periods of PG&E power outages to ensure that the Recreation Center operations will continue uninterrupted. The funding for this project was allocated in FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #252, Downtown Storm Drain (AREA 29D) Improvement Project – Many years ago the Contra Costa County Flood Control District established drainage zones throughout the County for storm drain detention and treatment. These zones included large detention basins (e.g., Freedom Basin, Teakwood Basin, Del Antico Basin, etc.) and a network of underground pipe 139
CIP-12
systems to convey the storm water runoff from the City streets to these basins. There are 9 drainage zones in the City of Oakley. Storm Drain Zone 29D covers all the Gardenia Ave and Chianti Way neighborhood streets and conveys their storm drain runoff north toward Main Street and continues northerly under the railroad tracks. All parts of the storm drain system in this zone have been constructed, except for the section of pipe from the north side of Main Street just east of Miguel Drive, to the edge of the railroad tracks. This project will design and construct this section of storm drainpipe and its associated infrastructure, which will complete all the improvements in this zone. The initial funding of this project design was allocated in the FY 2021/22 budget; and the construction of this project will be funded in future years once sufficient funding is secured.
Project #255, Cypress Grove Subdivision Pump Station Building Project – The Cypress Grove Subdivision has a pump station, an emergency generator, and associated electrical components to support the storm drain system for this subdivision. The newer subdivisions, such as Emerson Ranch and Gilbert Ranch, house all such components in a building that is fully covered and protects their expensive electrical and mechanical components. However, at the Cypress Grove Subdivision, the pump station, emergency generator, and its associated electrical components are housed in a building with only a half roof and are exposed to environmental elements.
The components degrade much quicker when exposed to the elements and require more frequent service and costly replacement. This project will construct a full roof and new walls on the existing building to enclose and protect the valuable mechanical components, and to promote their longevity. The initial funding for this project was allocated in the FY 2021/22 budget. As part of the FY 2023/24 budget, $199,000 from the Cypress Grove CFD Fund will be added to the project budget.
Project #263, O'Hara Avenue / Carpenter Road Intersection Improvement Project – The construction of Carpenter Road from Rose Avenue to Cinnamon Ridge Drive as part of a private subdivision development project has opened this important east/west roadway corridor for the community.
This section of Carpenter Road will increase traffic flows at the intersection of O’Hara Avenue and Carpenter Road. This project will improve the traffic operations at this intersection by constructing protected left turn lanes on Carpenter Road on both the westbound and eastbound approaches to O’Hara Avenue. Additional improvements include the installation of a 140
CIP-13
video detection system and reconfiguration of the striping at this intersection. The initial funding for this project was allocated in the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #265, Irrigation Well Installation at the City’s Freedom Basin Project – This project will install a new irrigation well adjacent to O’Hara Avenue next to the City owned storm drain basin, more commonly known as Freedom basin. This new well will provide the City with an independent, stable, and continuous source of water to irrigate the large field that is used by an assortment of leagues for sporting activities. The existing well used to irrigate the field is owned and operated by the High School District, and due to its continuous breakdowns, this well is not a reliable source to provide the massive amount of irrigation water needed for this field. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #268, Main Street / Delta Road Intersection Signalization Project – This project will install a traffic signal and improve the Main Street / Delta Road intersection. This intersection is identified to have a traffic signal per the City’s Traffic Impact Fee program. With the increase in traffic volumes at this location, a signal will improve safety and traffic circulation. The preliminary design of this project was started in FY 2021/22 to develop the plan and identify the Right of Way that is needed for this project. In the subsequent years, the final design and Right of Way acquisition will be completed. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #269, Main Street / Brownstone Road Intersection Signalization Project – This project will install a traffic signal and improve the Main Street / Brownstone Road intersection. This intersection is identified to have a traffic signal per the City’s Traffic Impact Fee program. With the increase in traffic volumes at this location, a signal will improve safety and traffic circulation. The preliminary design of this project was started in FY 2021/22 to develop the plan and identify the Right of Way that is needed for this project. In the subsequent years, the final design and Right of Way acquisition will be completed. The initial funding of this project was 141
CIP-14
allocated in the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #270, Hall Street Extension Project – This project will extend Hall Street north of Main Street to provide a direct connection to the new parking lot that will be constructed as part of the Downtown Gateway Plaza Roadway and Parking Lot Project. This project is consistent with the Downtown Vision program that was approved by the City Council and will help to improve the traffic flows and parking lot accessibility in the Downtown area. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2021/22 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #273, Laurel Road Extension Project (Teton Road to Sellers Avenue) - This Project will extend Laurel Road from Teton Road to Sellers Avenue providing an alternate and much needed secondary route to East Cypress Road. Currently, the only way in and out of eastern Oakley is via Main Street to East Cypress Road. This current route along East Cypress Road passes by an elementary and middle school and crosses the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad tracks. Extending Laurel Road from Teton Road to Sellers Avenue will provide a secondary access route out of the Cypress Road corridor. The design of this project, right of way acquisition, and permit processing from BNSF will take several years to accomplish. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2021/22 and FY 2022/23 budget, and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #274, Neroly Road Repair and Resurfacing Project (Empire Avenue to O'Hara Avenue) - Neroly Road was constructed as a part of the Magnolia Park Subdivision. Since that time the roadway has settled in areas near the utility manholes causing an uneven asphalt surface. Staff has continually performed patching near the manholes to keep the roadway surface smooth.
This temporary fix has provided good results but didn't address any underlying problems. This project will perform engineering investigation and excavation at several locations to determine the cause of the settling at the utility manholes and to provide a solution to remedy the problem. The funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget. 142
CIP-15
Project #279, FY 2022/23 Street Repair and Resurfacing Project - This project will repair the base and surface failures, as well as resurface the City’s streets as a part of a comprehensive program to maintain the roadways for the community. Street repair and resurfacing is critical in keeping the quality of the City’s street infrastructure in good condition and prevent costly reconstruction due to the lack of proper rehabilitation and maintenance. This project will address a few neighborhoods which need Sierra-Crete base remediation in addition to repair and resurfacing. The funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget and as part of the FY 2023/24 budget, $500,000 from the Gas Tax RMRA Fund, $1,300,000 from Measure J, and $1,000,000 from Street Maintenance & Rehab Fund will be added to the project budget.
Project #280, Laurel Road Widening Project (O'Hara Avenue to Cloverbrook Avenue) - Laurel Road from O'Hara Avenue to Cloverbrook Avenue is the last section of Laurel Road that needs to be widened and improved. Laurel Road is a major Arterial Road and the City's designated truck route with a direct connection to Highway 4. This section of Laurel Road has not been widened or improved due to the lack of Right of Way and is starting to deteriorate due to the large volume of vehicles that use Laurel Road every day. Staff is working with the property owners to obtain the necessary right of way for this widening, which will also require major utility relocation of the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) utility poles. This entire project will span several years to complete due to the complex nature of its various components. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #281, Enrico Cinquini Park Construction Project – The developer of the Stonewood Subdivision, a collection of 262 lots, was conditioned to construct a new park (Enrico Cinquini Park) at the intersection of Rose Avenue and Carpenter Road. The developer’s obligation of $2.1M is not sufficient to construct this park and its associated facilities and features, which includes a parking lot. The City will design and construct this park utilizing the Park Impact Fee obligation of the developer, as well as supplementing it with additional City Park Impact fees. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget and as part of FY 2023/24 budget, $700,000 will be added to the project budget from the Park Impact Fee Fund.
143
CIP-16
Project #283, Laurel Road Bridge Widening over Marsh Creek Project – Laurel Road at the Marsh Creek Bridge is currently a narrow 2 lane roadway that is structurally inadequate and needs to be widened and improved to tie into the future Laurel Road Extension Project at Teton Road.
This project will complement Capital Improvement Project No. 273, provide improved access for Laurel Road, and accommodate future traffic volumes from the developments along the East Cypress Road Corridor. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #286, City Hall Rooftop Solar Power Project – This project will install solar panels on the roof of the Civic Center to provide the electricity needed for the operation of the Civic Center facilities in a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach. The implementation of this project will reduce the carbon footprint of the Civic Center operations which is a part of the new Strategic Goals for the City. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget. As part of the FY 2023/24 budget, $50,000 from the ARPA Fund will be added to the project budget.
Project #287, Koda Dog Park Shade Structure Project – The Koda Dog Park has become a very popular destination for residents and visitors to bring their dogs to exercise and play. One of the frequent requests from the community has been for a shade structure at this park, especially in the areas where people sit on the benches while their dogs play. This project will construct new shade structures that would complement this park and its facilities for the enjoyment of all visitors to the Koda Dog Park. The initial funding of this project was allocated in the FY 2022/23 budget and no additional funding is requested in the FY 2023/24 budget.
Project #293, Main Street Slurry Seal (at Highway 160) Project – The construction of the Oakley Logistic Center was one of the most high-profile projects in Oakley which created a new Amazon Fulfillment Center in Oakley. This project included several off-site roadway improvements that included the reconstruction of the Main Street/Bridgehead Road intersection and the resurfacing of Main Street towards the Highway 160 intersection.
The construction work was completed in late 2022 and the only remaining part was the application of the Slurry Seal on Main Street. This was postponed due to the arrival of the winter months and the rainy season. 144
CIP-17
Since the Oakley Logistic Center project was completed, the developer of that project paid the City the cost of this Slurry Seal application which will be performed as part of the City’s summer resurfacing project. Total Budget - $84,376 ($34,376 Developer Contribution, $50,000 Gas Tax RMRA).
Project #294, Pedestrian Crossing Lighting System Installation on O’Hara Avenue at the Trail Crossing Project – The City of Oakley applied for and secured grant funding from State Transportation Development Act (TDA) to install a new Pedestrian Crossing Lighting System on O’Hara Avenue at the trail crossings. This project will enhance the safety of the roadways and improve the crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists. Total Budget - $75,000 ($45,000 TDA Grant, $30,000 Street Maintenance & Rehab) Project #295, FY 2023/24 Curb, Gutter, and Sidewalk Repair & Reconstruction Project - This project will coordinate with the responsible property owners to repair and reconstruct damaged and broken concrete curb, gutter, and sidewalks throughout the City. The construction of this project will eliminate trip and fall accidents caused by sidewalk and curb uplifted by tree root overgrowth and provide safe paths of travel for the community. This project works in coordination with the 50-50 cost share program that helps the property owners address concrete sidewalks and curb and gutter uplifts. Total Budget - $100,000 ($100,000 Gas Tax RMRA) Project #296, FY 2023/24 Street Restriping Project - This project will restripe various City streets each year to help maintain delineations that are marked for usage by motorists and pedestrians. The work performed under this project focuses on the streets that are not in the plan for resurfacing in the next two years, and need the striping for lane delineation (centerline, edge line, crosswalk, pavement marking) to provide safer streets for the community. Total Budget - $60,000 ($60,000 Gas Tax RMRA) Project #297, FY 2023/24 Street Repair and Resurfacing Project - This project will repair the base and surface failures, as well as resurface the City’s streets as a part of a comprehensive program to maintain the roadways for the community. Street repair and resurfacing is critical in keeping the quality of the City’s street infrastructure in good condition and prevent costly reconstruction due to the lack of proper rehabilitation and maintenance. This project will address a few neighborhoods which need 145
CIP-18
Sierra-Crete base remediation in addition to repair and resurfacing. Total Budget - $280,000 ($200,000 Gas Tax RMRA, $80,000 Measure J) Project #298, FY 2023/24 Traffic Calming Project – The traffic operations in the community have become one of the major issues that the Police and Public Works Departments handle on a regular basis. This project provides funding for the placement of traffic calming features in accordance with the neighborhood traffic calming policy. Various traffic calming requests are being evaluated by staff from the Police and Public Works Departments and are addressed in collaboration with the residents based on priority, and the order they are received. Total Budget - $30,000 ($30,000 General Capital Projects Fund)
Project #299, FY 2023/24 Traffic Signal Modernization Project – Traffic operations and public safety have become one of the more important issues for the community. Public Works staff are continually working to improve the traffic operations on City streets. This project will replace some of the older internal components of the City's traffic signal systems which will improve the coordination of the City’s traffic signal operations. Total Budget - $200,000 ($200,000 Traffic Impact Fee Fund)
Project #300, Bridgehead Road Widening Project – Widening and improvements were done on Bridgehead Road from Wilbur Avenue, to the railroad overcrossing as part of the Oakley Logistic Center development project. The section of this roadway that still needs improvements and widening is from the entrance to the Amazon campus on Bridgehead Road towards Main Street including the replacement of the railroad bridge and stormwater pump station. This project will perform the preliminary design and concept planning for the improvements on Bridgehead Road to be ready for implementation of this plan once development starts on the parcels south of the Amazon campus. Total Budget - $80,000 ($80,000 Measure J)
Project #301, East Cypress Road Lane Alignment Analysis (RR tracks to Main Street) Project – This project will perform the analysis for lane alignment and configuration on East Cypress Road from the RR tracks to Main Street. This section of the roadway has a few constraints, such as the railroad signal and two (2) bridges that will have to be analyzed in detail to 146
CIP-19
determine the optimum roadway alignment and configuration to enhance traffic flows. Total Budget - $60,000 ($60,000 Traffic Impact Fee Fund) Project #302, East Cypress Road Widening (Jersey Island Road to Bethel Island Road) Project - This project will widen and fully reconstruct East Cypress Road from Jersey Island Road to Bethel Island Road. The growth and development of new subdivision projects along the East Cypress Road corridor has necessitated various infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increased traffic volumes on this roadway. These improvements include the widening of East Cypress Road to City standards along the Emerson Ranch, Delaney Park, Burroughs Ranch projects. The City of Oakley is currently constructing widening and improvements to East Cypress Road between Knightsen Avenue and Jersey Island Road (CIP 247) . This project will continue these improvements in an easterly direction to Bethel Island Road. The City will get reimbursed the cost of these improvements by developers when this region of East Cypress Road gets developed based on City policy. The design of this project will get started in FY 2023/24. Total Budget- $762,563 ($378,503 ARPA, $384,060 Traffic Impact Fee).
Project #303, Public Works Operations Building Remodeling Project - The Public Works Operation Building used to be the suite of the former ACE Hardware Store, and since the City purchased the property, it has not had any major improvements related to the office spaces within the building.
With the growth of the Public Works Department and increased demands for services from the community, this project will remodel the inside of the building to make a better functional workspace and add more room for the staff and operations. Total Budget - $200,000 ($200,000 Facilities Fund) Project #304, FY 2023/24 ADA Implementation Plan Project - The Transition Plan details a program that will bring the City’s programs, procedures, practices, facilities, sidewalks, and curb ramps into compliance under the American Disabilities Act (ADA). The City of Oakley is required to prepare and implement an ADA Transition Plan to adhere to the legal requirements related to the U.S. Department of Justice. The City’s ADA Transition Plan was prepared and adopted by City Council which identified over $100M of improvements needed to fully implement all components of this ADA Transition plan. The recommendations of this plan will be implemented 147
CIP-20
over the coming years in phases as funding is allocated. Total Budget - $50,000 ($50,000 Street Maintenance & Rehab)
Project #305, Briarwood Park Playground Resurfacing Project - The Briarwood Park Playground currently has a Poured In Place rubber surface which has reached the end of its useful life. Many patches and repairs have been made to the existing surfacing and more are needed. Future patches and repairs increase the risk of lessening the impact attenuation properties of the existing fall surfacing. This project would replace and upgrade the surface with rubber playground tiles that will have both durability and ease of maintenance. The product comes with a lifetime warranty, which is the best in the industry and will adhere to current ADA and safety standards.
Total Budget - $150,000 ($150,000 LLAD).
Project #306, Marsh Creek Glenn Park Renovation Project - The existing playground equipment and surfacing at Marsh Creek Glenn Park is the original infrastructure at this park, which was constructed 20 years ago. The equipment and surface are both in need of replacement, as maintaining this playground equipment and surfacing is not practical and financially viable.
This project will replace the playground equipment and expand it to create a larger all ability and ADA accessible playground; along with placement of new rubber playground surfacing tiles that will perform and have a better warranty. Total Budget - $500,000 ($300,000 Park Impact Fee, $200,000 LLAD).
Project #307, Daffodil Park Playground Resurfacing Project - The Daffodil Park Playground currently has a PIP (poured in place) rubber safety surface adjacent to loose fill engineered wood fiber. The PIP has reached the end of its useful life. Loose fill transitions to wood fiber are bad practice, as this creates premature wear on the PIP surface from the abrasiveness of the loose fill. Many patches and repairs have been made to the existing surfacing and more are needed. Future patches and repairs will increase the risk of lessening the impact attenuation properties of the existing fall surfacing.
This project would replace and upgrade both the loose fill surface and PIP with rubber playground tiles that will have durability and ease of maintenance. The product comes with a lifetime warranty, which is the best in the industry and will adhere to current ADA and safety standards. Total Budget - $150,000 ($150,000 LLAD).

Project #308, City Parks Drinking Fountain Replacement Project –The increased city-wide demand for park facilities, and its use by the public necessitated an evaluation of the existing park infrastructure. This process identified several drinking fountains with deficiencies at Creekside Park, Cypress Grove Park, and Briarwood Park. Drinking fountains at these parks have reached the end of their useful life and are no longer fiscally suitable for ongoing repairs. This project will install new ADA accessible drinking fountains for all park users along with fountain components for pets. Total Budget - $100,000 ($100,000 Park Impact Fee).
Project #309, Laurel Ballfields Parking Lot Resurfacing Project – The normal cycle to resurfacing parking lots is about every 10 years, and the parking lot for Laurel Ballfields is due to be resurfaced and striped. This parking lot is heavily used by various baseball and soccer leagues who use this park for their games and practices in addition to other park users.
Funding will come from the LLD Zone 1 reserves fund. Total Budget - $60,000 ($60,000 LLAD).
Project #310, East Cypress Road Widening at CCWD Canal Crossing Project – The CCWD has undertaken the process of replacing the open canal in Oakley for past few years. This project began at the canal crossing near Main Street and has extended eastwards behind Cypress Grove, Emerson, Delaney, and Burroughs subdivisions up to east Cypress Road. CCWD is currently working on undergrounding the remainder of this canal from East Cypress Road in a southerly direction to its connection point at Rock Slough. The existing canal crosses East Cypress Road and will have to be replaced as part of the City’s East Cypress Road widening project. The City is collaborating with CCWD in all phases of the canal undergrounding project and at the East Cypress Road, the city will take the lead on undergrounding the canal and construction of the new and widened roadway. The City will get reimbursed the cost of these improvements by developers when this region of East Cypress Road gets developed based on City policy. Total Budget - $9,500,000 ($2,700,000 Traffic Impact Fee, $2,200,000 Street Maintenance and Rehab, $4,000,000 General Capital Projects, $600,000 Gas Tax HUTA).

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION 1-1
Chapter 1: Introduction
The Housing Element is the principal guide for housing strategies in the City of Oakley (City). It is one of eight mandatory elements of the City’s General Plan and sets forth actions to address the housing needs of all households in Oakley. The Housing Element will offer a way to ensure there are enough sites for safe, accessible, and diverse housing throughout the City and address existing and future housing needs for present and future Oakley residents.
Consistency with
State Law
All cities and counties in California are
required to have a compliant housing
element as one of the eight mandated
elements of a general plan. Each city
and county in the State must submit
their housing element to the California
Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) for
review to ensure that it meets the
minimum requirements under State
housing element law and are also
required to prepare an annual progress
report (APR) on the status and progress
of implementing its housing element.
Most cities and counties, including
Oakley, are required to update their
housing element every eight years.
Oakley’s prior housing element
covered the 2015-2023 planning
period, while this update will cover the
2023-2031 planning period, from
January 31, 2023, to January 31, 2031.
State law (Government Code Section
65583) requires the City to adopt a
Housing Element that addresses the
needs of everyone in the community,
at all income levels.
Housing Element Requirements
⚫ An analysis of existing and projected
housing needs
⚫ An inventory of land suitable for housing
and emergency shelters with a projected
capacity for each site
⚫ A summary of housing-related programs
and funding
⚫ An analysis of potential constraints to the
production and maintenance of housing
⚫ An assessment of fair housing and an
analysis of how the City can affirmatively
further fair housing (AFFH)
⚫ An analysis of any special housing needs
groups, as identified under State law
⚫ An evaluation of the previous Housing
Element
⚫ A summary of opportunities for
residential energy conservation
⚫ An analysis of assisted housing
developments that are at-risk of
converting to market rate
⚫ Specific actions to achieve housing goals
and objectives

REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 1-2 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION
General Plan Consistency
The Housing Element is one component of the City’s overall long-range planning strategy outlined in the General Plan. The City recently completed an update to the General Plan in January 2022 focused on Environmental Justice, Mobility, and Climate Change and Adaptation. The Housing Element is closely linked and affected by policies contained in other elements of the General Plan. For example, the Land Use Element designates land for residential development and indicates the type, location and density of the residential development permitted in the City. Working within this framework, the Housing Element identifies goals and actions for the planning period that directly addresses the housing needs of Oakley’s existing and future residents. The policies contained within other elements of the General Plan affect many aspects of life that residents enjoy – the amount and variety of open space, the preservation of natural, historic and cultural resources, the permitted noise levels in residential areas and the safety of the residents in the event of a natural or man-made disaster.
The Housing Element has been reviewed for consistency with the City’s other General Plan elements and the actions reflect the policy direction contained in other parts of the General Plan. As portions of the General Plan are amended in the future, this Housing Element will be reviewed to ensure that internal consistency is maintained.
Relationship to Other Plans and Programs
There are a number of City plans and programs which work to implement the goals and actions of the Housing Element including the City’s Municipal Code and Specific Plans.
Oakley Municipal Code
The Oakley Municipal Code contains the regulatory and penal ordinances and certain administrative ordinances of the City, codified pursuant to Sections 50022.1 through 50022.8 and 50022.10 of the Government Code. The Oakley Municipal Code includes the City’s Zoning regulations.
The Zoning Chapter of the Municipal Code (Chapter 9.1) is the primary tool for implementing the General Plan while the Subdivision Title (Title 8) of the Municipal Code regulates the design, development and implementation of land division. It applies when a parcel is divided into two or more parcels; a parcel is consolidated with one or more other parcels; or the boundaries of two or more parcels are adjusted to change the size and/or configuration of the parcels. The Zoning Chapter designates various districts and outlines the permitted and conditionally permitted uses for each zone district. The Zoning Chapter also provides property development standards for each zone district and overall administrative and legislative procedures.
Specific Plans
Specific Plans are customized regulatory documents that provide focused guidance and regulations for a particular area to address the specific characteristics or needs for that area. They generally include a land use plan, circulation plan, infrastructure plan, zoning classifications, development standards, design guidelines, and implementation plan. The 246
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION 1-3
City has three Specific Plans: the Downtown Specific Plan, the River Oaks Crossing Specific Plan, and the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan.
Housing Element Organization
This Housing Element satisfies the requirements of State law (Government Code Section 65583(a)) and is organized as follows:
⚫ Chapter 1 - Introduction. This chapter includes an introduction to the Housing Element, description of State housing element law, general plan consistency, and a summary of public participation.
⚫ Chapter 2 - Existing Needs Assessment. This chapter analyzes demographic and socioeconomic conditions; existing housing stock characteristics; housing affordability, overpayment, and overcrowding; and special needs for persons experiencing homelessness, persons with disabilities, seniors, large families, and female-headed households.
⚫ Chapter 3 - Sites Inventory. This chapter identifies opportunities for housing production to meet the City’s fair share of regional housing needs, as determined by the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA). It includes a description of the City’s RHNA and the results of the inventory of sites within the City that are suitable for residential development during the eight-year planning period. ⚫ Chapter 4 - Fair Housing Assessment. This chapter provides an analysis of fair housing issues and practices in Oakley, including patterns of integration and segregation, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs. It also examines the relationship between the sites inventory and its potential impact on fair housing issues in the City. The chapter also includes a summary of strategies to affirmatively further fair housing.
⚫ Chapter 5 – Housing Programs and Financial Resources. This chapter summarizes staff resources and funding available to support City housing programs and residential energy conservation.
⚫ Chapter 6 - Potential Housing Constraints. This chapter analyzes potential constraints on the production, maintenance, or improvement of housing, including governmental constraints like land use controls, permits and processing procedures, fees, and zoning for a variety of housing types as well as non-governmental constraints such as land and development costs and the availability of financing. ⚫ Chapter 7 - Evaluation of the Previous (2015-2023) Housing Element. This chapter summarizes the City’s accomplishments during the previous (2015-2023) Housing Element planning period and evaluates each of the previous programs. ⚫ Chapter 8 – Housing Plan. This chapter establishes goals and actions that will provide direction to help the City meet its housing goals.

REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 1-4 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION
Public Participation
Housing Element law requires that local governments make diligent efforts to achieve representative public participation in the development of the Housing Element. As part of the Housing Element Update process, the project team (including City staff and Consultants) facilitated public participation early in the process to inform the development of the Housing Element. The outreach process continued through plan adoption. Public engagement materials can be found in Appendix A.
Summary of Engagement Activities
The City conducted the following engagement activities throughout the Housing Element update process to engage and inform the community.
Project Webpage
The City hosted a project webpage about the housing element update at www.ci.oakley.ca.us/2023-2031-housing-element-update/. The webpage included an overview of the project and schedule, contact information for the project team, and a sign-up link for the project mailing list. The webpage was maintained throughout the housing element update process and routinely updated to include announcements of future engagement events, frequently asked questions (FAQs), community engagement materials and draft documents.
Online Community Survey
From April 20, 2022, through May 27, 2022, the City distributed a web-based survey to gather information from the community. The survey included questions related to household demographics, housing challenges/needs, and potential sites to be added to the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) district for future affordable housing development.
The survey was provided in English and Spanish.
The City made an effort to reach all members of the community by distributing the survey through multiple channels. The survey was distributed through an online link and QR via email to the mailing list from the project website. It was also advertised through City Council meetings, a press release, in newsletters to the public that were sent out to nearly 3,500 residents, and broadcast on the City’s social media outlets. The City’s Public Outreach Staff also made efforts to draw attention to the Housing Element Update page, which also included links to the survey, by featuring the project on the City’s homepage.
Summary of Feedback
A total of 227 participants took the survey. There were 226 responses to the English survey and 1 response to the Spanish survey. Of all respondents, 98 percent were residents of Oakley. Most respondents are homeowners (91 percent) and live in a single family home (95 percent). About 3 percent of respondents reported living in a duplex/triplex/fourplex (4 respondents) or an apartment (4 respondents). Summaries of key survey responses are shown in Figures 1-1 through 1-3. 248

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION 1-7
Contra Costa County Developer Outreach
In November 2021 the Contra Costa County Collaborative (C4) held a panel with East Bay Area developers to receive input from the development community on the challenges and constraints to develop in Contra Costa County and identify what actions are needed from local governments to streamline development. An Affordable Housing Developer Panel was hosted by C4 on April 20, 2022. This panel reinforced many of the recommendations made by the previous panel and provided additional insights. The following is a summary of the feedback heard from both panels.
Summary of Feedback
Constraints to Housing Development
⚫ Community opposition to housing/affordable housing and resulting litigation and time delays
⚫ Discretionary processes that result in ad-hoc changes (e.g., community benefits added as a requirement in the middle of the process)
⚫ Lack of funding for affordable housing
⚫ Requiring retail in mixed-use developments
Recommended Policies and Actions
⚫ Objective design review processes
⚫ Absolute clarity of the process (e.g. here are the steps, here are the discretionary items, here is a list of the community benefits to choose from) ⚫ Guarantee an SB 35 process for Housing Element sites
⚫ Have one person who is familiar with the process and can be the champion of the affordable housing projects, especially relative to keeping the process aligned with funding timelines
⚫ Achieve more of a partnership relationship between development teams and cities across California
Additional Feedback from Affordable Housing Developers
⚫ For permit streamlining, it is important for all departments to coordinate and prioritize affordable housing include planning, building and public works staff. ⚫ Mixed-use requirements are a deterrent to affordable housing developers.
Suggestions for flexibility included allowing leasing offices and other active uses to be on the ground floor rather than retail.
⚫ Code constraints that developers often seek waivers for include: restrictive height limits, mixed-use requirements, open space and balcony requirements, and parking. ⚫ Affordable housing projects are constrained by the strict sequencing of events that must be followed to secure tax credit financing.
⚫ The labor shortage for construction and building management is a constraint. ⚫ Church, institutional and commercial sites, as well as adaptive reuse projects are challenging due to increased holding costs, structural building code issues, expensive retrofits, and community/congregation opposition regarding the change in use. 251
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 1-8 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION
⚫ Be careful with requirements for extra public facilities and project features that add cost and do not contribute points that make the project more competitive in the tax credit application process.
⚫ Cost of sites/high land value in high opportunity areas.
Community Workshop
The project team conducted an in-person
workshop at the Oakley Recreation Center
on April 20, 2022, to educate the
community on the purpose of the Housing
Element and to collect input on community
needs, key housing issues facing residents,
and potential sites for future affordable
housing. Live Spanish interpretation was
made available at the meeting. Figure 1-4
shows the flyers used to advertise
engagement activities for the project.
The City made a diligent effort to advertise
the workshop to all members of the community The community workshop was noticed throughusing multiple channels. The City advertised the workshop on the front page of the City’s electronic newsletter, which is sent out to nearly 3,500 residents. The City posted the workshop flyers in English and Spanish including on the main page of the City website, the City Reader Board, and distributed it through the City’s social media outlets in order to reach a broad segment of the community and encourage participation in the meeting. The City also advertised the meeting on electronic reader boards at City Hall, the Library, and the Middle School on East Cypress Road.

First, the project team provided a presentation of the housing element explaining the overall process, requirements, and the preliminary analysis of housing needs and opportunities. Following the presentation, the project team facilitated a small group activity to receive feedback on potential sites to add to the City’s AHO district. In collaboration with the City Council, City staff identified 14 potential sites for consideration. The project team presented these sites to workshop participants and took this feedback, along with results from the online survey, into consideration when identifying the priority sites to add to the AHO district. Live Spanish interpretation was provided for the workshop and small group activity.
Following the workshop, both the presentation and site profiles for the potential AHO sites were posted on the City website for people to view in their own time and to provide more context for those participating in the online survey. 253

Planning Commission and City Council Study Sessions
Prior to the community workshop, the City held a study session with the City Council on March 22, 2022, to outline the Housing Element update process, requirements of State law, and overall goals and objectives of the Housing Element. The priority focus of the session was to receive input from Council on the preliminary sites being considered by staff to add to the AHO district and suggestions for new sites to consider. Additionally, meetings provided an opportunity for appointed and elected officials to identify key issues they would like addressed in the Housing Element update and for members of the public to listen and provide comments.
On June 7, 2022, the City held a study session with the Planning Commission to outline the Housing Element process including State law requirements and the capacity of sites for housing in the City.
After release of the Public Review Draft Housing Element, the City held a study session with the City Council on July 12, 2022 to review the plan and solicit feedback before submitting the Draft Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for State-mandated review. Based on comments received during the study session that there was an over concentration of lower income housing in Electoral District 1, City Council directed staff to remove Site 10 (Oakley Rd. and SR-160) from the list 255
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 1-12 CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION
of candidate AHO sites and to include Site G (S/W Corner of Laurel Rd. and O’Hara Ave.), a site previously considered for inclusion in the AHO. The new candidate AHO sites are now more evenly distributed across the city and across income levels.
Summary of Community Feedback
The input received from the community was used to inform and understand needs and priorities in Oakley, and to help in the selection of AHO sites. This local knowledge has helped to identify local fair housing issues and constraints and has been used to inform the development of the goals and actions included in the Housing Element. Comments received on the Public Review Draft during the public comment period can be found in Appendix A.

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2-1
Chapter 2: Existing Needs
Assessment
Introduction
This chapter describes the characteristics of the population and housing stock in the City of Oakley (City) as a means of better understanding the nature and extent of unmet housing needs. This chapter includes an analysis of the demographic, economic, and housing characteristics that influence the demand for and availability of housing. The analysis forms a foundation for developing programs and policies to address identified housing needs according to income, tenure, and special needs groups.
The Housing Needs Assessment fulfills the requirements of Government Code Section 65583(a)(1), 655853(a)(2), and 65583.1(d) and is comprised of the following components: Demographic Profile; Employment Trends; Household Characteristics; Special Needs Populations; Housing Stock Characteristics; Housing Costs and Affordability; Assisted Housing at Risk of Conversion; Housing Needs; and Regional Housing Needs Determination.
The primary data source used in this analysis is the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Data Package, which has been approved for use by HCD. Other sources include the U.S. Census, the 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the California Department of Finance (DOF), and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) data, which are derived from ACS five-year datasets. Employment data was also obtained from the State of California Employment Development Department’s (EDD) Data Library.
Demographic Profile
Population Trends and Characteristics
Housing needs are generally influenced by population and employment trends. This section provides a summary of the changes to the population size, age, and racial composition of the City. Oakley is one of 19 cities in Contra Costa County. The DOF estimates that Contra Costa County’s population in 2020 was 1,153,561. Table 2-1 lists nearby counties and their respective populations.

The Bay Area is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the nation and has seen a steady increase in population since 1990, except for a dip during the Great Recession (see Figure 2-1). Many cities in the region, including Oakley, have experienced significant growth in population. Between 2000 and 2020, the population in Oakley increased by 65.74 percent; this rate is much higher than that of the whole region, at 14.8 percent. In the most recent decade (2010-2020), the population in Oakley increased by 19.8 percent.
Oakley had an estimated population of 42,461 people in 2020, which accounts for 3.7 percent of the population in Contra Costa County. Table 2-2 compares Oakley’s population growth trends with those of the County.

REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 2-4 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
According to ABAG, the population in Contra Costa County is projected to increase by 23 percent (or 258,635 people) between 2020 and 2040. Oakley is expected to add 19,075 new residents by 2040, representing the second to largest percent change in population of any City in the County (54 percent).
Age Composition
The distribution of age groups in a city can be telling of what types of housing the community needs or may need in the future. An increase in the older population may mean there is a developing need for more senior housing options, while higher numbers of children and young families can point to the need for more family housing options and related services. There has also been a move by many to age-in-place or downsize to stay within their communities, which can mean more multifamily and accessible units are needed. Figure 2-2 shows the age distribution for Oakley residents as estimated in 2019, and Table 2-4 shows the population distribution by age groups in the City in comparison to the County and the state in 2000, 2010, and 2019.

In Oakley, the median age in 2000 was 30. By 2019, this figure had increased to 32.
Between 2000 and 2019, the age groups with the highest increase were people between the ages of 15 to 24 and 55 to 64 (i.e., change of 2,987 and 2,942, respectively).
Overall, the population has skewed older from 2010 to 2019. Persons 65 years of age and over accounted for 6.8 percent of the total population in 2010, but in 2019 they made up
9.3 percent of the total population. Persons 65 to 74 years of age were the fastest growing segment of population in Oakley between 2010 and 2019 with a 92.3 percent change. The population of older adults is projected to continue to grow during the planning period, as many of the “baby boomers” (the large group of people born between 1946 and 1964) will have reached age 65 by 2023. 263

Racial and Ethnic Composition
Figure 2-3 shows the breakdown of the population in Oakley by race and ethnicity from 2000-2019. Since 2000, the percentage of residents in Oakley identifying as White, NonHispanic has decreased from 67 percent to 41 percent, while the percentage of residents of all other races and ethnicities combined has increased from 33 percent to 59 percent of the total population. In 2019, the non-White and Hispanic populations combined (31,823 people) made up 77 percent of the overall population. Table 2-5 summarizes the racial and ethnic composition of the population in 2019. In absolute terms, the Hispanic or Latino population increased the most while the American Indian or Alaska Native, NonHispanic population decreased the most.

Senior and Youth Population by Race
Looking at the senior and youth population by race can add an additional layer of understanding, as families and seniors of color are even more likely to experience challenges finding affordable housing. People of color, or all non-White racial groups, make up 22.1 percent of seniors and 54.2 percent of youth under 18 (see Figure 2-4). 265

Non-English Speakers
California has long been an immigration gateway to the United States, which means that many languages are spoken throughout the Bay Area. Since learning a new language is universally challenging, it is not uncommon for residents who have immigrated to the United States to have limited English proficiency. This limit can lead to additional disparities if there is a disruption in housing, such as an eviction or other tenant-landlord dispute. In Oakley, 4.1 percent of residents 5 years and older identify as speaking English not well or not at all, which is below the proportion for Contra Costa County as a whole.
Throughout the Bay Area region the proportion of residents 5 years and older with limited English proficiency is 8 percent.

Employment Trends
Housing needs are influenced by employment trends. Significant employment opportunities within a city can lead to growth in demand for housing in proximity to jobs.
The quality and/or pay of available employment can influence the demand for various housing types and prices.
As shown in Table 2-6, in 2019, 32.8 percent of Oakley residents were employed in health and educational services; 15.2 percent were employed in financial and professional services; 15 percent were employed in manufacturing, wholesale, and transportation;
13.4 percent were employed in the retail trade; and 12.1 percent were employed in construction. By comparison, 31.3 percent of the overall County residents were employed in health and education services; 24.7 percent were employed in financial and professional services; 14.3 percent were employed in manufacturing, wholesale, and transportation; and 10.1 percent were employed in retail trade. Compared to the County, a larger share of Oakley residents are employed in construction and retail, which tend to be relatively lower paying jobs, and a smaller share of residents are employed in financial and professional services, which tend to be higher paying.

Balance of Jobs and Housing
A city houses employed residents who either work in the community where they live or work elsewhere in the region. Smaller cities typically will have more employed residents than jobs and therefore “export” workers, while larger cities tend to have a surplus of jobs and “import” workers. The Bay Area region has some of the largest and fastest growing job centers in the state. To some extent the regional transportation system is set up for this flow of workers to the region’s core job centers, but balances between jobs and workers may directly influence the housing demand in a community. 267
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 2-12 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
New jobs may draw new residents, and when there is high demand for housing relative to supply, many workers may be unable to afford to live where they work, particularly where job growth has been in relatively lower wage jobs. This dynamic not only means many workers will need to prepare for long commutes and time spent on the road, but in the aggregate, it contributes to traffic congestion and time lost for all road users.
Oakley is considered a “bedroom community” because the majority of people living in Oakley commute to other areas for work. As of 2018, there were 19,170 employed residents and 4,732 jobs in Oakley. The ratio of jobs to resident workers in Oakley was
0.25; therefore, the City can be considered a “net exporter” of workers.
Figure 2-5 shows the balance when comparing jobs to workers, broken down by different wage groups, offering additional insight into local dynamics. A community may offer employment for relatively low-income workers but have relatively few housing options for those workers, or conversely, it may house residents who are low wage workers but offer few employment opportunities for them. Such relationships may cast extra light on potentially pent-up demand for housing in particular price categories. A relative surplus of jobs relative to residents in a given wage category suggests the need to import those workers, while conversely, surpluses of workers in a wage group relative to jobs means the community will export those workers to other jurisdictions. Such flows are not inherently bad, though over time, sub-regional imbalances may appear. Oakley has more low-wage residents than low-wage jobs (where low-wage refers to jobs paying less than $25,000). At the other end of the wage spectrum, the City has more high-wage residents than high-wage jobs (where high-wage refers to jobs paying more than $75,000). 268

The jobs-household ratio compares the number of jobs in a jurisdiction to the number of households. A ratio of 1.0 means there are equal number of jobs and households. The jobs-household ratio in Oakley has remained at around 0.33 from 2002 to 2018 (see Figure 2-6), whereas countywide the ratio is closer to 1.0 and in the Bay Area region the jobs-household ratio is nearly 1.5. 2.3k3.0k

Unemployment
As shown in Figure 2-7, between January 2010 and January 2020 unemployment in Oakley decreased from 14 to 6 percent. Jurisdictions throughout the region experienced a sharp rise in unemployment in 2020 due to impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, though with a general improvement and recovery in the later months of 2020. By January 2021, the unemployment rate in Oakley was 9.5 percent.

Household Characteristics
This section describes Oakley’s household characteristics. The U.S. Census Bureau defines a “household” as all persons living in a single housing unit, whether or not they are related. For the purpose of the data presented in this section, families are a type of household and include people related by blood, marriage, or adoption who live together.
A single person living alone is also a household. “Other” types of households are 272
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2-17
unrelated people residing in the same dwelling unit. People living in group quarters, such as dormitories or convalescent homes, are not counted as households.
Households by Type
As shown in Figure 2-8 below, the largest proportion of households in Oakley is marriedcouple family households at 67 percent of total households, which is higher than the percentage of married-couple households countywide (55 percent) and within the Bay Area (51 percent). Oakley has a lower proportion of single-person households (14 percent) in comparison to the County (22 percent) and the Bay Area (25 percent).
Female-headed family households make up about 11 percent of all households in Oakley, similar to the percentage of female-headed households countywide (12 percent) and in the Bay Area (10 percent).
Figure 2-8: Households by Type, Oakley, 2019
Notes: For data from the Census Bureau, a “family household” is a household where two or more people are related by birth, marriage, or adoption. “Non-family households” are households of one person living alone, as well as households where none of the people are related to each other.

Housing Tenure
In Oakley there are a total of 11,778 households and more residents own than rent their homes: 76.3 percent versus 23.7 percent (see Figure 2-9). Homeownership rates in the City have decreased since 2000 when the homeownership rate in Oakley was 85 percent.
By comparison, 66 percent of Contra Costa County and 56 percent of Bay Area households own their home.

Housing Tenure by Race and Ethnicity
Homeownership rates often vary considerably across race/ethnicity in the Bay Area and throughout the country. These disparities not only reflect differences in income and wealth but also stem from federal, state, and local policies that limited access to homeownership for communities of color while facilitating homebuying for white residents. While many of these policies, such as redlining, have been formally disbanded, the impacts of race-based policies are still evident across Bay Area communities. In Oakley, 62 percent of Black households and 65 percent of Latino households owned their homes in 2019, compared to 82 percent of Non-Hispanic white households (see Figure 2-10). 76%

Notes: For this table, the Census Bureau does not disaggregate racial groups by Hispanic/Latino ethnicity. However, data for the white racial group is also reported for white householders who are not Hispanic/Latino. Since residents who identify as white and Hispanic/Latino may have very different experiences within the housing market and the economy from those who identify as white and non-Hispanic/Latino, data for multiple white sub-groups are reported here.

Housing Tenure by Age
The age of residents who rent or own their home can also signal the housing challenges a community is experiencing. Younger households tend to rent and may struggle to buy a first home in the Bay Area due to high housing costs. At the same time, senior homeowners seeking to downsize may have limited options in an expensive housing market. In Oakley, 30.4 percent of householders between the ages of 25 and 44 are renters, compared to 19.4 percent of householders over 65 who rent (see Figure 2-11). 115736 653 2,112 1,263 6,215 5,113 753941,153 6851,642 1,136 0 1,000

Housing Tenure by Housing Type
In most cities, homeownership rates for single-family homes are substantially higher than the rates for multi-family housing. In Oakley, 82.6 percent of households in detached single-family houses and 100 percent in attached single-family houses are homeowners, while only 4.9 percent of households in multi-family housing are homeowners (see Figure 2-12).

Household Income Characteristics
Household income is the most important factor affecting housing opportunity, as it determines a household’s ability to afford its preferred type and location of housing, and to balance housing costs with other basic needs. Income levels can vary considerably among households based on age, number of workers per household, education level, type of employment, and race and ethnicity, among other factors.
Household income levels include the categories extremely low-, very low-, low-, moderate-, and above-moderate income. The parameters of the target income categories are determined in relation to the area median income (AMI) for Contra Costa County, adjusted by household size. The standard income definition of income categories used by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is provided in Table 2-8.

Household Income by Tenure
Throughout the region, there are disparities between the incomes of homeowners and renters. Typically, the number of low-income renters greatly outpaces the amount of available housing that is affordable for these households. As shown in Figure 2-13, in Oakley the largest proportion of renters falls in the 0 percent to 30 percent of AMI income group, while the largest proportion of homeowners is in the Greater than 100 percent of AMI group.

Overcrowding
Overcrowding occurs when the number of people living in a household is greater than the home was designed to hold. There are several different standards for defining overcrowding, but this report uses the Census Bureau definition, which is more than one occupant per room (not including bathrooms or kitchens). Additionally, the Census Bureau considers units with more than 1.5 occupants per room to be severely overcrowded.
Overcrowding is often related to the cost of housing and can occur when demand in a city or region is high. In many cities, overcrowding is seen more amongst those that are renting, with multiple households sharing a unit to make it possible to stay in their communities. In Oakley, 6.6 percent of renters experience moderate overcrowding and
8.3 percent are severely overcrowded. In comparison, 1.5 percent of homeowners experience moderate overcrowding and 0.9 percent are severely overcrowded (see Figure 2-14). The overall rates of overcrowding are similar between Oakley, Contra Costa County, and the Bay Area region. The percent of overcrowded households range from 3 to 4 percent, and the percent of severely overcrowded households ranges from 2 to 3 percent across the City, County, and region. 670870

Overcrowding often disproportionately impacts lower-income households. In Oakley 3.0 percent of low-income households (51 percent and 80 percent AMI) experience severe overcrowding and 8.0 percent of very low-income households (31 to 50 percent AMI) experience severe overcrowding (see Figure 2-15). These data may indicate a shortage of rental units that are large enough to accommodate larger households, and potentially indicates that some renters are living in overcrowded conditions in order to be able to afford housing.

Special Needs Populations
State law recognizes that certain households have more difficulty finding decent and affordable housing due to special circumstances. Special needs populations include specific demographic or occupational groups that call for specific program responses.
These groups often spend a disproportionate amount of their income on housing and can often experience discrimination based on their specific needs or circumstances.
The state requires that housing elements address several different special needs groups, including, extremely low-income households, senior households, persons with disabilities, large families of five or more, female-headed households, people experiencing homelessness, and farmworkers.
Extremely Low-Income Households
Extremely low-income (ELI) households are defined as households earning 30 percent or less of the AMI. ELI households typically consist of minimum wage workers, seniors on fixed incomes, and persons with disabilities. In Oakley, a four-person household with an income of $42,850 or less in 2022 is considered as an extremely low-income household. 5%

According to HUD’s 2014-2018 CHAS data, 1,410 households in Oakley (12 percent of total households) were ELI households. Most ELI households (61 percent) rent their homes. This income group is likely to live in overcrowded and substandard housing conditions. Regardless of tenure, 80 percent of ELI households in Oakley experience at least one housing problem, such as overpayment, overcrowding, and/or severe structural dilapidation (see Table 2-10). An estimated 79 percent of ELI households are costburdened, meaning they paid more than 30 percent of their income for housing, and 57 percent paid more than 50 percent of their income on housing, making them severely cost burdened.

To calculate the projected housing needs for ELI households, the City assumed that 50 percent of the very low-income housing need (see Regional Housing Needs Allocation Section for more details) is equal to the ELI housing need. As such, there is a projected need for 139 ELI housing units during the planning period.
Housing types to accommodate the needs of extremely low-income households include transitional and supportive housing, single room occupancy units (SROs), deeply subsidized affordable multi-family rental housing, and mobile homes. Housing choice vouchers are also an important source of funding for ELI households.
Senior Households
Senior households, defined as households headed by someone 65 or older, often experience a combination of factors that can make accessing or keeping affordable housing a challenge. Many seniors live on fixed incomes and are more likely to have disabilities, chronic health conditions, and/or reduced mobility.
Persons 65 years and older made up 9.3 percent of the total population in 2019.
Projections from the California DOF estimate that the population aged 65 and older in Contra Costa County will increase from approximately 196,558 in 2019 to approximately 348,017 in 2040, a 77 percent increase. Some of this growth in Contra Costa County’s older adult population is likely to impact housing demand and needs within the City. 282
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2-27
Higher homeownership rates among the senior population indicates a need for programs to help seniors in Oakley age in place. It could also indicate a need for smaller homes to allow seniors to downsize.
Seniors who rent may be at even greater risk for housing challenges than those who own, due to income differences between these groups. The largest proportion of senior households who rent are extremely low income (below 30 percent of the AMI) while the largest proportion of senior households who are homeowners make more than 100 percent of the AMI (see Figure 2-16).
Figure 2-16: Senior Households by Income and Tenure, Oakley, 2017 Note: For the purposes of this graph, senior households are those with a householder who is aged 62 or older.

Most seniors experience some changes in their housing needs as they age, though the degree to which housing needs change and the type of changes that seniors need as they age vary substantially from one individual to the next. Common needs include the following:
⚫ Accessibility Improvements. Many individuals develop a need for physical adaptations to the homes that they live in, such as entry ramps or shower grab bars, to improve accessibility and accommodate new physical limitations. ⚫ Access to Transit. For many seniors, having access to public transportation and other services becomes more important as they age due to decreased mobility or increased difficulty with driving.

⚫ Financial Assistance. Seniors with low incomes may need financial assistance to afford rent, property taxes, mortgage payments, or home repairs. ⚫ Long-Term Care. Seniors with more serious medical needs or physical limitations may require in-home care as they age.
There are a range of potential living arrangements that seniors may seek out as their housing needs change with age, depending on their specific needs, financial resources, and other factors. These can include remaining in their own homes, potentially with adaptability features or financial assistance; independent living for seniors, which may be market-rate or affordable; and various types of assisted living and skilled nursing facilities with services on-site.
Existing Resources for Elderly Residents
Oakley’s affordable senior housing and residential care homes for the elderly, which provide varying levels of living assistance to persons 60 years of age and older, include:
⚫ Twin Oaks Senior Apartments (2605 Main Street);
⚫ Spyglass Senior Villa 2 (75 Bottlebrush Court);
⚫ Spyglass Senior Villa 1 (39 Calla Court);
⚫ Button’s Elderly Care (1448 buttons Court);
⚫ Vita (4012 Blacksmith Circle);
⚫ Teresa’s Quality Comfort Care (1786 Concannon Drive); ⚫ Cicada-Laurel (2145 Connie Lane);
⚫ Delta Residential-Magnolia Park (32 Calla Court);
⚫ Lee Family Care Home #4 (18 Brooks Court);
⚫ Silver Crest Homecare (204 Chaps Court);
⚫ Isabella Caring Hands (1684 Fernwood Drive);
⚫ two H.E.R Residential Care Homes (152 & 156 Meadow Brook Court); ⚫ Trust Painter’s Love Joy Rest Home (171 Douglas Road); ⚫ Foster Residential Care (4745 La Vista Drive); and
⚫ Golden Shepherd’s Home III (65 Drywood Court).
Additionally, the Oakley Seniors Club operates the Oakley Senior Center located at 215 Second Street.
Large Households
Large households, defined as households with five or more members, often have different housing needs than smaller households. If a city’s rental housing stock does not include larger apartments, large households who rent could end up living in overcrowded conditions. About 24 percent of all households in Oakley have 5 or more members (approximately 2,762 households). Most of these households (68.7 percent) are owner 284
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2-29
occupied (see Figure 2-17), however, the rate of homeownership among large households is lower than the citywide rate of homeownership (76.3 percent). In 2017,
24.2 percent of large households were very low-income, earning less than 50 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Large families are generally served by housing units with 3 or more bedrooms, of which there are 10,328 units in Oakley (87.7 percent of the housing stock). Among these large units with 3 or more bedrooms, 82.2 percent are owner occupied and 17.8 percent are renter occupied (see Figure 2-18).

Female-Headed Households
Female-headed households with children in particular tend to have lower incomes than two-parent families, which limits their housing options and access to private services such as nursery schools, day care, and recreational activities for their children. The 2019 Census reported 1,321 female-headed households in Oakley, 11.3 percent of all households.
Female-headed households with children may face particular housing challenges, with pervasive gender inequality resulting in lower wages for women. In addition, femaleheaded households may encounter subtle forms of housing discrimination, including being denied opportunities to rent because of their familial status or being treated less courteously than renters without children. Moreover, the added need for childcare can make finding a home that is affordable more challenging. In Oakley, 23.1 percent of female-headed households with children fall below the 2019 Federal Poverty Line ($21,330 for a household of three), while 2.9 percent of female-headed households without children live below the Federal Poverty Line ($12,490) in poverty (see Figure 2-19).
The Contra Costa Housing Authority offers a Family Self-Sufficiency program for Housing Choice Voucher participants to help low-income, single parents achieve economic independence from governmental assistance. Through public and private agency participation, beneficiaries have access to resources such as housing subsidies, childcare, education, job training, transportation, and a variety of other benefits. The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County also offers free career development and job- 60102331 7,028 1,461 512 445 1,743 96 0 1,000

Additionally, the Latina Center, AAPI Coalition, Monument Impact, and LISC Partner Network Hotline provide services to assist low-income residents, including femaleheaded households in workforce development and housing assistance.

Persons with Disabilities
A disability is defined as a long-lasting condition that impairs an individual’s mobility, ability to work, or ability to perform self-care. Persons with disabilities include those with physical, mental, developmental, or emotional disabilities. Severely disabled people often have special housing needs because they often have limited incomes, there is a shortage of affordable and/or accessible housing, or they may have higher health care costs due to their disability. The U.S. Census Bureau provides information on the number of persons, including the elderly, with disabilities of varying types and degrees. The types of disabilities included in the Census are:
⚫ Sensory: Blindness, deafness, or a severe vision or hearing impairment. ⚫ Physical: A condition that substantially limits one or more basic physical activities, such as walking, climbing stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying. ⚫ Mental: A condition lasting six months or more that makes it difficult to perform certain activities including learning, remembering, or concentrating. 700

⚫ Self-care: A condition lasting six months or more that make it difficult to perform certain activities including dressing, bathing, or getting around inside the home. ⚫ Go-outside-home: Only asked for population 16 and older; a condition lasting six months or more that make it difficult to perform certain activities including going outside the home alone to shop or visit a doctor's office. ⚫ Employment: Only asked for the population aged 16 to 64; a condition lasting six months or more that make it difficult to perform certain activities including working at a job or business.
People with disabilities face additional housing challenges. Encompassing a broad group of individuals living with a variety of physical, cognitive, and sensory impairments, many people with disabilities live on fixed incomes and need specialized care, yet often rely on family members for assistance due to the high cost of care.
When it comes to housing, people with disabilities are not only in need of affordable housing but accessibly designed housing, which offers greater mobility and opportunity for independence. Unfortunately, the need typically outweighs what is available, particularly in a housing market with such high demand. People with disabilities are at a high risk for housing insecurity, homelessness, and institutionalization, particularly when they lose aging caregivers. Figure 2-20 shows the rates at which different disabilities are present among residents of Oakley. Overall, 10.7 percent of people in Oakley have a disability of any kind.

Persons with Developmental Disabilities
State law also requires Housing Elements to examine the housing needs of people with developmental disabilities. Developmental disabilities are defined as severe, chronic, and attributed to a mental or physical impairment that begins before a person turns 18 years old. This can include Down’s Syndrome, autism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and mild to severe mental retardation. Some people with developmental disabilities are unable to work, rely on Supplemental Security Income, and live with family members. In addition to their specific housing needs, they are at increased risk of housing insecurity after an aging parent or family member is no longer able to care for them.
According to data from the California Department of Developmental Services, 535 residents in Oakley had a developmental disability in 2020. Of the population with a developmental disability, children under the age of 18 make up 43.7 percent (or 301 individuals), while adults account for 56.3 percent (or 234 individuals). The most common living arrangement for individuals with developmental disabilities in Oakley is the home of parent/family/guardian (see Table 2-11).

The type of housing that is suitable for persons with development disabilities varies substantially based on the nature and extent of the disability. Because households that include people with developmental disabilities are disproportionately lower income, many persons with developmental disabilities need affordable housing options. Some individuals with developmental disabilities may be best served in housing with supportive services that can help them live independently or with licensed care. Design of accessibility modifications, proximity to services and transit, availability of group living opportunities, and affordability are some common considerations that are important for serving this need group. Incorporating “barrier-free” design in all new multi-family housing (as required by California and Federal Fair Housing laws) is especially important to provide the widest range of choices for residents with disabilities.
The California Department of Developmental Services provides community-based services to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families through a statewide system of 21 regional centers, four developmental centers, and two 289
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 2-34 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
community-based facilities. The City of Oakley, along with other jurisdictions in Contra Costa County, is serviced by the Regional Center of the East Bay, which provides a point of entry to services for people with developmental disabilities. Additionally, the Mainstream Voucher Program offers Housing Choice Voucher rental assistance to nonelderly persons with a disability through funding provided by HUD.
People Experiencing Homelessness
Homelessness remains an urgent challenge in many communities across the state, reflecting a range of social, economic, and psychological factors. Rising housing costs result in increased risks of community members experiencing homelessness. Far too many residents who have found themselves housing insecure have ended up unhoused in recent years, either temporarily or longer term.
In January 2020, Contra Costa County’s Homeless Continuum of Care, with the help of County agencies and community volunteers, conducted a Point in Time count to assess the size of the homeless population. The Point in Time Count found a total of 2,277 persons experiencing homelessness countywide in January 2020, a 4 percent decrease from 2,295 unhoused residents in 2019; however, a 12 percent increase from 2,030 unhoused residents in 2015.
Of the 2,277 individuals experiencing homelessness in Contra Costa County, 1,570 were unsheltered, staying in places that are not designed or fit for human habitation, and 707 were sheltered. The 2020 Point in Time count identified 50 unsheltered individuals in Oakley. Based on this count, the City has a need to provide shelter for up to 50 homeless persons. Housing Element Chapter 6: Constraints, describes how the City accommodates emergency shelters through appropriate zoning.
Nearly 32 percent of total Point in Time survey respondents were chronically homeless.
Financial hardship was the leading primary cause of homelessness (25 percent), followed by evictions (17 percent), and substance abuse (14 percent).
Addressing the specific housing needs for the unhoused population remains a priority throughout the region, particularly since homelessness is disproportionately experienced by people of color, people with disabilities, those struggling with addiction, and those dealing with traumatic life circumstances. In Contra Costa County, the most common type of household experiencing homelessness is those without children in their care.
Among households experiencing homelessness that do not have children, 75.9 percent are unsheltered. Of homeless households with children, most are sheltered in emergency shelter (see Figure 2-21).
Many of those experiencing homelessness are dealing with severe issues – including mental illness, substance abuse and domestic violence – that are potentially life threatening and require additional assistance. In Contra Costa County, homeless individuals are commonly challenged by severe mental illness, with 519 reporting this condition (see Figure 2-22). Of those, some 70.1 percent are unsheltered, further adding to the challenge of addressing the issue.

Racial Demographics of the Unhoused Population
People of color are more likely to experience poverty and financial instability as a result of federal and local housing policies that have historically excluded them from the same opportunities extended to white residents. Consequently, people of color are often disproportionately impacted by homelessness, particularly Black residents of the Bay

Services for Persons Experiencing Homelessness
There are three major types of facilities that provide shelter for homeless individuals and families: emergency shelters, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing.
These types of facilities are defined below:
⚫ Emergency Shelter: is a facility that offers temporary shelter (lodging) for people experiencing homelessness in general or for specific populations of the homeless.
There are variations of shelter types, including family shelters where households may stay for 30 to 90 days on average, youth shelters serving youth 18-24 years of age, night by night shelters also known as “warming centers,” for families and individuals which may be on a nightly basis only, spaces are limited and prioritization is given to the most vulnerable first, and adult only shelters which allows for a longer stay than that of a night by night shelter for adults without children. Victim service providers serving survivors fleeing domestic violence also fall into this category. 14.5% 3.1% 33.8% 45.0%

⚫ Transitional Housing: is a type of temporary housing designed to facilitate the movement of homeless individuals and families into permanent housing within a specified period of time, but typically no longer than two years. ⚫ Rapid Rehousing: emphasizes housing search and relocation services, case management and short- and medium-term rental assistance to move homeless persons and families as rapidly as possible into permanent housing. ⚫ Permanent Supportive Housing: is permanent housing with indefinite leasing or rental assistance paired with supportive services to assist homeless persons with a disability or families with an adult or child member with a disability achieve housing stability.
On the night of January 22, 2020, there were a total of 2,217 beds in Contra Costa County’s Countywide Continuum of Care. The majority of beds (1,162) were permanent supportive housing beds, followed by 630 emergency shelter beds, 231 rapid rehousing beds, and 194 transitional housing beds.
There are no emergency shelters located in Oakley. The closest shelter is the East County Shelter located in Antioch, which provides 20 year-round individual beds. Additionally, East County Transitional Housing in Antioch provides 70 year-round family beds. Contra Costa Health Services emergency shelter program for adults provides shelter and case management services to assist residents in ending their homelessness and attaining their highest level of self-sufficiency. They operate two emergency shelter sites; one in Concord the other in Richmond. Both facilities operate 24 hours a day and have the capacity to serve over 160 men and women. They also offer a specialized program for individuals 18-21 years of age. If involved in case management, residents may stay up to 120 days. Additional continuum of care shelter and service providers are identified on the Contra Costa Health Services website at https://cchealth.org/h3/coc/funders.php.

Farmworkers
Farmworkers are traditionally defined as persons whose primary incomes are earned through seasonal or permanent agricultural labor. Farmworkers are generally considered a special housing needs group due to their limited income and often-unstable nature of their employment. Across the state, housing for farmworkers has been recognized as an important and unique concern.
294
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2-39
Estimating the size of the agricultural labor force is problematic as farmworkers are historically undercounted by the census and other data sources. For instance, the government agencies that track farm labor do not consistently define farm labor (e.g., field laborers versus workers in processing plants), length of employment (e.g., permanent or seasonal), or place of work (e.g., the location of the business or field).
Farmworkers are typically categorized into three groups: permanent, seasonal, and migrant. Permanent farmworkers are typically employed year-round by the same employer. Seasonal farmworkers work on average less than 150 days per year and earn at least half of their earned income from farm work. Migrant farmworkers are seasonal farmworkers who have to travel to do the farm work so they are unable to return to their permanent residence within the same day.
Within Oakley, agricultural uses include various equestrian and livestock enterprises, as well as more typical practices such as row crops, vineyards and orchards. Contra Costa County’s agricultural lands and corresponding production have decreased due to urbanization since 1940. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Census of Farmworkers, the number of permanent and seasonal farmworkers in Contra Costa County has decreased from 730 and 1,874, respectively, in 2002, to 450 and 860 in 2017 (see Figure 2-24). It is important to understand the changing landscape of the farmworker population. Today’s farmworkers are more settled and typically live in one location. Per the USDA, today’s farmworkers can commute up to 75 miles to the workplace. Based on this, the need for housing for agricultural workers is not just the responsibility of Bay Area jurisdictions with a robust agricultural economy.
Figure 2-24: Farm Operations and Farm Labor, Contra Costa County, 2002-2017 Notes: Farm workers are considered seasonal if they work on a farm less than 150 days in a year, while farm workers who work on a farm more than 150 days are considered to be permanent workers for that farm.

Typically, the agriculture industry faces challenges in securing labor in a tight market that offers limited housing opportunities that are affordable for their employees. Due to the severe shortage of affordable homes in the County and very low wages, farmworkers experience extreme housing insecurity. While many traditional affordable housing programs and policies will assist farmworkers, there are unique needs and circumstances for agricultural workers that need to be considered and explored since finding decent and affordable housing can be challenging, particularly in the current housing market.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2018, there were 244 employees in the Agriculture and Natural Resources industry living in Oakley. Farmworkers living in urban and suburban areas of the County often have similar needs for affordable rental housing as other lower-wage earners.
Housing Stock Profile
This section describes the housing stock in the City of Oakley in terms of number of units, size, age, and condition.
Unit Type
Table 2-13 summarizes the number of housing units in Oakley and the County from 2010 to 2020. In 2020, Oakley had 13,146 housing units, which was 3.1 percent of the total units countywide.

In 2020, 91 percent of the housing units in Oakley were single-family detached homes.
From 2010 to 2020, the number of single family attached units and mobile homes remained the same, while other housing types increased. The increase in single family detached homes comprised the majority of the increase in total housing units. Table 2-14 shows Oakley’s housing inventory by unit type in 2010 and 2020.

Unit Size
In 2019, the most common type of renter-occupied units was four-bedroom units, making up 62.3 percent of renter-occupied units. The second largest group of renteroccupied units was two-bedroom units (18.3 percent). Of the owner-occupied units, 78.2 percent had four bedrooms and 16.3 percent had five or more bedrooms. The four and five or more bedroom units were the most common type of housing units overall, making up 74.5 percent and 13.2 percent of all housing units respectively. Table 2-15 summarizes the distribution of unit size by tenure in 2019.

Vacancy Rates
A vacancy rate measures the overall housing availability in a community and is often a good indicator of how efficiently for-sale and rental housing units are meeting the current demand for housing. A vacancy rate of five percent for rental housing and two percent for ownership housing is generally considered healthy and suggests that there is a balance between the supply and demand of housing. A lower vacancy rate often leads to rising rents and sales prices and can contribute to household overcrowding.
Vacant units made up approximately 3 percent of the overall housing stock in Oakley in 2019 (Figure 2-25). The rental vacancy rate was 1.0 percent, while the ownership vacancy rate was 1.4 percent. Of the vacant units, the most common type of vacancy is Other Vacant with the second most common type being Sold, Not Occupied (see Figure 2-26).
Figure 2-26 shows the breakdown of vacant units by type in Oakley, Contra Costa County, and the Bay Area. The vacant housing stock in Oakley looks very different from the rest of the region. In Oakley, only 9 percent of vacant units are listed for rent, compared to 23 and 24 percent in the County and region, respectively. This is a reflection of the small rental housing stock in the City. On the other hand, 28 percent of vacant units in Oakley were sold but not yet occupied, compared to only 6 percent in the County and 7 percent in the region. This reflects the relatively larger stock of new single-family homes being built in new subdivisions in Oakley.

Age of Housing Stock
The age of a housing unit is often an indicator of housing conditions. In general, housing that is 30 years or older may exhibit need for repairs based on the useful life of materials.
Housing over 50 years old is considered aged and is more likely to exhibit a need for major repairs.
The ACS provides data on age of the housing stock, shown in Table 2-16. Much of the housing in Oakley is newer construction. Only 4.9 percent of the City’s housing stock was built before 1960 and 13 percent was built from 1960 through 1979. The majority of the housing stock is less than 35 years old: 82.9 percent was built in 1980 or later.

Substandard Housing Conditions
Housing is considered substandard when conditions are found to be below the minimum standard of living conditions defined in the California Health and Safety Code.
Households living in substandard conditions are considered to be in need of housing assistance, even if they are not seeking alternative housing arrangements, due to the threat to health and safety.
In addition to structural deficiencies and standards, the lack of infrastructure and utilities often serves as an indicator for substandard conditions. According to the 2015-2019 ACSs, there are zero occupied units in Oakley lacking complete plumbing facilities or kitchen facilities. In April 2008, the City adopted Ordinance No. 06-08 (Neighborhood Preservation Ordinance) which set property maintenance standards for the City. The purpose of adopting this Ordinance was to establish standards for property maintenance and provide abatement of substandard conditions. In the case of a violation, it is the responsibility of City Enforcement Officer to enforce these standards. The Ordinance includes property maintenance standards for:
⚫ Small Residential Lots (zoned R-15, R-12, R-10, R-7, R-6 and P-1) ⚫ Landscaping Requirements
⚫ Storage of Household Items, Construction Items and Rubbish ⚫ Exterior Property Conditions
299

⚫ Prohibited Activities
⚫ Building Maintenance Requirements
⚫ Vector Nuisances
⚫ General Nuisances Prohibited
In 2022, the City Code Enforcement Division conducted 1,316 drive-by rental inspections through the Residential Rental Inspection Program. These type of inspections are typically to check on neighborhood preservation type violations, such as overgrown weeds, broken down vehicles, broken windows, and other issues of disrepair. Interior building inspections are not conducted as a routine part of the drive-by rental inspection program. The 1,316 inspections resulted in 181 cases being opened. Of those 181 opened cases, 165 were closed and 16 remain opened. Of those 16 opened cases, two resulted in substandard housing issues, one of which was closed and one that remains opened as of the end of 2022. Although the rental inspection program does not normally result in substandard housing violations, it can act as an indicator of larger issues that may exist at a given residence. Most substandard housing cases are started via a complaint received by either a tenant or neighbor of the residence.
In 2021 and 2022, the City of Oakley opened 24 and 25 cases on substandard housing, respectively. These cases generally involved housing units that require substantial rehabilitation. Based on the age of structures in Oakley and the number of substandard housing cases handled each year by Code Enforcement, it is estimated that about 15 percent of homes require some level of repair and about 1 percent of the housing stock is in need of major repair or replacement.
Housing Costs and Affordability
This section evaluates housing cost trends in Oakley. Analyses of trends for both renterand owner-occupied units, including rental and sales prices, are provided in comparison to ability to pay.
Home Values and Market Trends
In the Bay Area, housing costs have long been among the highest in the nation, yet home values in Oakley are affordable relative to the rest of the Bay Area. According to 2015- 2019 ACS data shown in Figure 2-27, the largest proportion of homes in Oakley were valued between $250,000-$500,000 (60 percent). By comparison, 29 percent of homes countywide were valued between $250,000-$500,000 and only 6 percent of Bay Area homes fell into this range.

Figure 2-28 shows the change in home values in Oakley, Contra Costa County, and the Bay Area from 2001 to 2021 according to data available from Zillow. The region’s home values have increased steadily since 2000, besides the decrease that occurred during the Great Recession. The rise in home prices has been especially steep since 2012, with the median home value in the Bay Area nearly doubling during this time. Since 2001, the typical home value has increased 155.5 percent in Oakley from $247,150 to $631,480 in December 2020. While housing costs in Oakley have increased dramatically in recent years, Oakley has remained a relatively affordable place to live relative to the rest of the Bay Area. In December 2020, the typical home value was $772,410 in Contra Costa County and $1,077,230 in the Bay Area. According to more recent data obtained from Redfin, the median sale price for single-family homes in Oakley was $755,000 in April 2022; a 16.2 percent increase from the prior year. 9%7% 6%

Rent Values and Trends
Similar to home values, rents have also increased dramatically across the Bay Area in recent years. Many renters have been priced out, evicted, or displaced, particularly communities of color. Residents finding themselves in one of these situations may have had to choose between commuting long distances to their jobs and schools or moving out of the region, and sometimes, out of the state.
According to data from the 2015-2019 ACS, in Oakley, the largest proportion of rental units was in the $1500-$2000 category, totaling 31.6 percent, followed by 28.4 percent of units renting in the $500-$1000 category (see Figure 2-29). While the largest share of rental units in the County and region is also in the $1500-$2000 category, there is generally a broader range of rents in other parts of the Bay Area compared to Oakley. $100,000

County and regional counts are weighted averages of jurisdiction median using B25003 rental unit counts from the relevant year.
Housing Affordability
The affordability of housing in Oakley can be assessed by comparing market rents and sales prices with the amount that households of different income levels can afford to pay for housing. This information can reveal who can afford what size and type of housing.
This section describes the ability of households at different income levels to pay for housing based on HCD 2022 income limits shown earlier in Table 2-9.
Housing is classified as “affordable” if households pay no more than 30 percent of income for rent (including a monthly allowance for water, gas, and electricity) or monthly homeownership costs (including mortgage payments, taxes, and insurance). Since above moderate‐income households do not generally have problems finding affordable units, affordable units are frequently defined as those reasonably priced for households that are low to moderate income.
Typically, a household can qualify to purchase a home that is two and one-half to three times their annual income, depending on the down payment, the level of other long-term obligations such as a car loan, and interest rates. In practice, the interaction of these factors allows some households to qualify for homes priced at more than three times their annual income, while other households may be limited to purchasing a home no more than two times their annual income.

down payment assistance and/or below market-rate interest rates often allow homebuyers to qualify for houses which are up to four times their income.
Table 2-17 shows maximum affordable monthly rents and maximum affordable purchase prices for homes using 2022 HCD-defined household income limits for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate-income households in Contra Costa County (including Oakley). For example, a three-person household with an annual income of $98,650 is classified as low income (80 percent of AMI) in 2022. A household with this income could afford to pay a monthly gross rent (including utilities) of up to $2,466 or could afford to purchase a house price at or below $403,266. The April 2022 median sale price of $755,000 in Oakley is considered affordable to a moderate-income family of 4 earning the upper end of the income limit.

Overpayment
Overpayment, also known as housing cost burden, is a critical issue for many households of various income levels. Overpayment occurs when households spend more than 30 percent of gross monthly income on housing. Severe overpayment or cost burden occurs when housing costs represent more than 50 percent of gross monthly income. Lowerincome residents are consistently the most impacted by high housing costs and experience the highest rates of cost burden. Paying too much for housing puts lowerincome households at higher risk of displacement, eviction, or homelessness.
In Oakley, 11.6 percent of households spend 50 percent or more of their income on housing, while 21.7 percent spend 30 percent to 50 percent. However, these rates vary greatly across income categories (see Figure 2-31). For example, 56.0 percent of extremely low-income households in Oakley making (i.e., those making less than 30 percent of AMI) are severely cost burdened, meaning they spend more than 50 percent of their income on housing. For Oakley residents making more than 100 percent of AMI, less than 1 percent are severely cost burdened, and 89 percent are paying an affordable price for housing.

Renters are often more cost-burdened than owners. While the housing market has resulted in home prices increasing dramatically, homeowners often have mortgages with fixed rates, whereas renters are more likely to be impacted by market increases. When looking at the cost burden by tenure in Oakley, 22.2 percent of renters spend 30 percent to 50 percent of their income on housing, which is similar to the 21.3 percent of those that own (see Figure 2-32). However, 22.5 percent of renters spend 50 percent or more of their income on housing, while only 9.0 percent of owners are severely cost-burdened.
Figure 2-32: Cost Burden by Tenure, Oakley
Notes: Cost burden is the ratio of housing costs to household income. For renters, housing cost is gross rent (contract rent plus utilities). For owners, housing cost is "“select monthly owner costs",” which includes mortgage payment, utilities, association fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. HUD defines cost-burdened households as those whose monthly housing costs exceed 30% of monthly income, while severely cost-burdened households are those whose monthly housing costs exceed 50% of monthly income.
Source: ABAG Housing Element Data Package, U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Data (2015-2019), Table B25070, B25091.
Figure 2-33 shows cost burden by income level for renter households and Figure 2-34 shows cost burden by income for owner households according to the 2015-2019 ACS data. Overall, the incidence of cost burden is higher among lower-income renters compared to owners, however, extremely low-income and very low-income owner households also experience high levels of cost burden and severe cost burden. 1,910 (21%)

Assisted Housing at Risk of Conversion
State Housing Element law requires an analysis of the potential for rent-restricted lowincome housing units to convert to market-rate housing within 10 years from the start of the planning period, and to propose programs to preserve or replace any units at risk of conversion, also known as “at-risk units.” For the purpose of Housing Element Law, assisted housing developments are defined as multifamily rental housing complexes that receive government assistance under federal, State, and/or local programs. Housing assistance could include a rental subsidy, mortgage subsidy, or density bonus for an assisted housing development. Government assisted housing may convert to market-rate for a number of reasons including expiring subsidies, mortgage repayments, or expiration of affordability restrictions. This section presents an inventory of all rent-restricted housing in Oakley and identifies whether or not there are units at risk of conversion by 2033.
Assisted Housing Inventory
Table 2-18 presents the inventory of affordable rental housing in Oakley which receives some form of public assistance. As evidenced by the over 739 units identified, Oakley has actively supported affordable rental housing utilizing a variety of local, State and Federal funds, and works extensively with non-profit housing developers in the ownership and management of its projects. None of these units are at risk of conversion by 2033. The earliest potential conversion, Golden Oak Manor, is in 2036. As there are no units at-risk of converting, a discussion of the cost to preserve affordability through new construction, rehabilitation, and/or subsidies is not required.

Preservation of At-Risk Rental Units
There are a variety of federal, state, and local housing programs to assist in the provision of affordable housing through new construction, acquisition/ rehabilitation, and subsidies. The following summarizes the financial resources potentially available to developers and other entities interested in providing affordable housing and related services in the City of Oakley. More information on funding available for housing development and related activities is described in Chapter 5: Housing Programs and Financial Resources
Federal and State Programs
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG): CDBG funds are awarded to entitlement communities on a formula basis for housing activities. Funding is awarded on a competitive basis to each participating City. Activities eligible for CDBG funding include acquisition, rehabilitation, economic development and public services. The City of Oakley participates in the Urban County program, through which Contra Costa County administers CDBG funds for the unincorporated County as well as cities that participate in the program. The City may receive funds, on a competitive basis, through the Urban County program.
HOME Investment Partnership: HOME funds are granted by a formula basis from HUD to increase the supply of decent, safe, sanitary, and affordable housing to lower income households. Eligible activities include new construction, acquisition, rental assistance and rehabilitation. Oakley participates in the Contra Costa County-administered HOME Consortium, which administers HOME funds to projects in participating jurisdictions.
HOME funds are typically allocated on a competitive basis.
Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program: The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program provides monthly rental assistance payments to private landlords on behalf of low-income families who have been determined eligible by the Housing Authority of Contra Costa County. The program's objective is to assist low-income families by providing rental assistance so that families may lease safe, decent, and sanitary housing units in the private rental market. The program is designed to allow families to move without the loss of housing assistance. Moves are permissible as long as the family notifies the Housing Authority ahead of time, terminates its existing lease within the lease provisions, and finds acceptable alternate housing.
Section 8 – Project Based Assistance: The Section 8 Project-Based program is a component of the Housing Choice Voucher program. The program's objective is to induce property owners to make standard housing available to low-income families at rents within the program limits. In return, the Housing Authority or HUD enters into a contract with the owner that guarantees a certain level of rents.
Section 811/202 Program (Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities/Elderly): Nonprofit and consumer cooperatives can receive no interest capital advances from HUD under the Section 202 program for the construction of very-low income rental housing for seniors and persons with disabilities. These funds can be used in conjunction with Section 811, which can be used to develop group homes, independent living facilities, 310
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2-55
and immediate care facilities. Eligible activities include acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and rental assistance.
California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) Multifamily Programs: CalHFA’s Multifamily Programs provide permanent financing for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation or new construction of rental housing that includes affordable rents for Low and Moderate Income families and individuals. One of the programs is the Preservation Acquisition Finance Program that is designed to facilitate the acquisition of at- risk affordable housing developments and provide low-cost funding to preserve affordability.
California Housing Finance Agency (CHFA): CHFA offers permanent financing for acquisition and rehabilitation to for-profit, non-profit, and public agency developers seeking to preserve "at-risk" housing units. In addition, CHFA offers low interest predevelopment loans to nonprofit sponsors through its acquisition/rehabilitation program.
Federal Home Loan Bank System: The Federal Home Loan Bank System facilitates Affordable Housing Programs (AHP), which subsidize the interest rates for affordable housing. The San Francisco Federal Home Loan Bank District provides local service within California. Interest rate subsidies under the AHP can be used to finance the purchase, construction, and/or rehabilitation of rental housing. Very low income households must occupy at least 20 percent of the units for the useful life of the housing or the mortgage term.
Low Income Housing Tax Credits: The California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC) administers the federal and state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Programs. Both programs were created to encourage private investment in affordable rental housing for households meeting certain income requirements. Under these programs, housing tax credits are awarded to developers of qualified projects. Twenty percent of federal credits are reserved for rural areas, and ten percent for non-profit sponsors. To compete for the credit, rental housing developments have to reserve units at affordable rents to households at or below 46 percent of area median income. The assisted units must be reserved for the target population for 55 years. The federal tax credit provides a subsidy over ten years towards the cost of producing a unit. Developers sell these tax benefits to investors for their present market value to provide up-front capital to build the units.
Credits can be used to fund the hard and soft costs (excluding land costs) of the acquisition, rehabilitation, or new construction of rental housing. Projects not receiving other federal subsidy receive a federal credit of nine percent per year for ten years and a state credit of 30 percent over four years (high cost areas and qualified census tracts get increased federal credits). Projects with a federal subsidy receive a four percent federal credit each year for ten years and a 13 percent state credit over four years. The CTCAC also administers a Farmworker Housing Assistance Program and a Commercial Revitalization Deduction Program.
Multifamily Housing Program (MHP): The MHP program provides low interest loans to developers of affordable rental and transitional housing projects. Funds may be used for new construction, rehabilitation, acquisition and rehabilitation, or conversion of nonresidential structures. 311
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 2-56 CHAPTER 2 | EXISTING NEEDS ASSESSMENT
California Community Reinvestment Corporation (CCRC): The California Community Reinvestment Corporation is a multifamily affordable housing lender whose mission is to increase the availability of affordable housing for Low Income families, seniors and residents with special needs by facilitating private capital flow from its investors for debt and equity to developers of affordable housing. Eligible activities include new construction, rehabilitation, and acquisition of properties.
Qualified Entities to Preserve At-Risk Units
There are 24 non-profit corporations currently registered as qualified entities for Contra Costa County, and 96 entities working statewide that have the experience and capacity to assist in preserving at-risk units. These organizations, presented in Table 2-19, are tracked by HCD and up-to-date contact information for each entity can be obtained via the HCD website at: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/policy-research/preserving-existingaffordable-housing.shtml.

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-1
Chapter 3: Sites Inventory
Introduction
Every city and county in California is mandated through State Housing Element Law to demonstrate it has adequate sites available through appropriate zoning and development standards and with the required infrastructure for a variety of housing types and income levels. The City must demonstrate it has adequate sites with capacity to accommodate the projected need for housing through the 2023-2031 planning period.
This chapter describes the City’s assigned housing target, called the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), and provides the City’s strategy for how it will accommodate the RHNA.
Regional Housing Needs Allocation
The State Department of Finance (DOF) is responsible for developing the total Statewide housing demand projection. With the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), this demand is apportioned to each of the State’s regions. The demand represents the number of additional units needed to accommodate the anticipated growth in the number of households, to replace expected demolitions and conversions of housing units to non-residential uses, and to allow for a future vacancy rate conducive to a healthy functioning housing market.
The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG), the Council of Governments (COG) representing the region, in cooperation with local jurisdictions, is responsible for allocating the region’s projected new housing demand in each jurisdiction. This process is known as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) and the goals are referred to as the RHNA goals or the “regional share” goals for new housing construction. The allocation takes into account factors such as employment opportunities, market demand for housing, availability of suitable sites and public facilities, community patterns, types and tenure of housing needs and others. The allocation is divided into four income categories:
⚫ Very-Low Income – 0 to 50 percent of the median income ⚫ Low Income – 51 to 80 percent of the median income
⚫ Moderate Income – 81 to 120 percent of the median income ⚫ Above-Moderate Income – more than 120 percent of the median income In determining a jurisdiction’s share of new housing needs by income category, the allocation is adjusted to avoid an over-concentration of lower-income households in one jurisdiction. In addition to the allocation in the four income categories, State law also 313
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-2 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
requires cities to consider the needs of Extremely-Low Income (ELI) households earning 30 percent or less of the median income. The City assumes that 50 percent of the very low-income housing need is equal to the extremely low-income housing need. As such, there is a projected need for 139 extremely low-income housing units.
Table 3-1 shows the RHNA assigned to Oakley for the 2023-2031 Housing Element. It should be noted that the RHNA projection period is June 30, 2022 – December 31, 2030, which differs slightly from the Housing Element planning period of January 31, 2023 – January 31, 2031. As shown in the table, ABAG allocated 1,058 new housing units to Oakley, which includes 279 very low-, 161 low-, 172 moderate-, and 446 above moderate-income units.

Residential Sites Inventory
This section describes the residentially-zoned land available to accommodate the City’s RHNA. This includes entitled single-family lots that have not yet been built, vacant and underutilized sites that have potential for housing development, and a projection of accessory dwelling units.
Entitled Single-family Lots
Table 3-2 lists final subdivision maps for fully entitled residential developments. Most of these subdivisions are under construction. Building permits that were pulled prior to the start of the sixth cycle RHNA period (June 30, 2022) are counted toward the fifth cycle RHNA. However, the sixth cycle RHNA can be reduced by the number of lots that are entitled but have not been built or for which building permits were issued after June 30, 2022. As shown in table 3-2, A total of there are eight entitled final maps with remaining capacity for 427 single-family units that can be credited toward the sixth cycle RHNA. All of these units are expected to be affordable only to above moderate-income households and are therefore credited toward the above moderate-income RHNA. After accounting for these entitled lots, the remaining above moderate-income RHNA is only 19 units.
Entitled final maps are shown on Figure 3-1. 5,247 single-family lots have been entitled but have not yet been issued a building permit as of the start of the RHNA projection period (June 30, 2022). Table 3-2 identifies entitled projects that have not yet begun development, as well as pending projects that have submitted applications but have not yet been constructed. Table 3-3 identifies entitled projects that are under construction, including the total number of units approved, number of units already issued building permits, and number of units remaining to be developed. Only those units that have not 314
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-3
yet been issued permits are counted toward the RHNA. Entitled projects are shown on Figure 3-1. The single family units in Tables 3-2 and 3-3 are anticipated to be affordable primarily to above moderate-income households. The unit count in these entitled projects far exceeds the City’s RHNA for above moderate-income households. 315

REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-8 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
Vacant and Underutilized Sites
The Housing Element is required “to identify sites that can be developed for housing within the planning period and that are sufficient to provide for the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need for all income levels” (Government Code Section 65583.2(a)).
This section identifies vacant and underutilized sites in the inventory and describes the methodology for calculating capacity on these sites by income level.
Vacant Land In Tentative Subdivision Maps
The City has a significant amount of vacant land with tentative maps, either approved or under review, with capacity for 4,736 single-family units. Table 3-3 lists these sites, which are shown on Figure 3-1. The capacity on these sites is inventoried in the Housing Element based on the number of lots identified in the tentative maps.
Several of these tentative subdivision maps are within the East Cypress Specific Plan Area, with nearly 4,000 housing units planned. Property owners are actively working to build and certify the levee system to provide flood protection to the area. Development is expected to occur in phases as levee improvements are completed. Summer Lake North, which has capacity for 824 homes, recently completed an interim levee and is working to get it certified. Grand Cypress Preserve, which makes up a majority of the entitled portions of the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan, has 3,167 entitled homes.
The development team has submitted levee plans and is working toward starting levee construction sometime in 2023.
Exact phasing and timing for development in the East Cypress Specific Plan is unknown at this time, but based on the anticipated timing of the levee improvements and stated interest by the developers, the Housing Element inventory assumes 25 percent of the capacity within this area to develop within the timeframe of the Housing Element, which is equal to 999 homes.

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-13
Affordable Housing Overlay District Sites
The low- and very low-income RHNA categories, collectively referred to as the “lowerincome RHNA”, are almost always the most challenging income levels for cities to accommodate. Under State law, Oakley is considered a “metropolitan” jurisdiction because it is located within a metropolitan region with a population exceeding 2 million and has a local population that exceeds 25,000. State law establishes a “default density standard” of 30 units per acre for lower-income units in metropolitan jurisdictions. This is the density that is “deemed appropriate” to accommodate Oakley’s lower-income RHNA.
As described in Chapter 6: Constraints, the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) is the City’s primary strategy for meeting the lower-income RHNA. The AHO applies on top of the base zoning and allows housing densities that exceed the maximum units per acre otherwise allowed in a zoning district, if a development meets the State density bonus criteria.
Existing AHO Sites
The City originally created the AHO following adoption of the 2007 Housing Element to accommodate the lower-income RHNA and achieve State certification of the Housing Element. The AHO district was adopted with a density of 24 units per acre and higher densities could be achieved using a State density bonus. In previous Housing Element cycles, HCD accepted a market-based analysis demonstrating that 24 units per acre was an adequate density for building lower-income housing in Oakley. However, with changes in market conditions and more stringent review by HCD, 24 units per acre is no longer considered adequate, meaning that the City’s existing AHO sites (shown in Figure 3-12 and outlined in Table 3-4 below) cannot be counted towards the lower-income RHNA until the allowable density is increased to 30 units per acre. Because the existing AHO sites cannot count toward the lower-income RHNA at this time, the City has a shortfall of 434 lower-income units and a rezone obligation. Policy Action 1.1 in the Housing Plan outlines that as part of the City’s rezone program, the City will be increasing the maximum density of the AHO to 30 units per acre to be consistent with the default density standard. Once this action is taken, the existing AHO sites will count toward meeting the lower-income RHNA. Additionally, all of these sites were previously counted in the fifth cycle Housing Element and are therefore subject to by-right approvals, as outlined in Policy Action 1.1.
Candidate AHO Sites
The City has a shortfall of 434 lower-income units. Per state law, the City has three years from the adoption deadline of January 31, 2023, to rezone enough land to accommodate 434 lower-income units, as described in Policy Action 1.1. The City will go through a separate public process and take action to rezone an adequate number of sites to meet the lower-income RHNA. Figure 3-12 shows the initial candidate AHO sites to consider for rezoning, with more details provided in Table 3-5 on each site. These candidate AHO sites have been presented and initially vetted by the public, the Planning Commission, and City Council, but could still change as the City begins working on the rezone program and solidifying sites to include in the AHO District. The City has also identified a list of 325
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-14 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
potential AHO sites, outlined in Table 3-6 below. These sites, along with other sites, could potentially be considered and included in the AHO District as part of the rezone program.
Methodology for Estimating Capacity on AHO Sites
Government Code Section 65583.2(c) requires the City to demonstrate that the projected residential development capacity of the sites identified in the Housing Element can realistically be achieved. When establishing realistic unit capacity calculations, the City must consider development trends of existing or approved residential developments at a similar affordability level, as well as the cumulative impact of standards such as maximum lot coverage, height, open space, and parking requirements. Furthermore, when the site has the potential to be developed with nonresidential uses, requires redevelopment, or has an overlay zone allowing the underlying zoning to be utilized for residential units, these capacity limits must be reflected in the Housing Element.
In accordance with State law, the estimated capacity on AHO sites is not calculated at the maximum capacity of 30 units per acre, but instead at a realistic capacity or “discounted” capacity.
Realistic Density Assumptions
Sites in the inventory are generally assumed to build out at 80 percent of the maximum density. This includes AHO sites that would be included in the lower-income inventory.
Therefore, capacity on AHO sites is calculated based on a density of 24 units per acre, which is 80 percent of the proposed maximum density of 30 units per acre. Recent affordable housing developments in the City have generally been built at or above the density of 24 units per acre. Affordable housing developments above 24 units per acre have utilized a State density bonus to exceed the 24 unit per acre limit. The following is a list of recently built or approved affordable developments on AHO-zoned sites and the density at which they were built:
⚫ Twin Oaks Senior Residence Mixed Use (under construction): 22.2 units per acre (92.5 percent of base density)
⚫ Carol Lane Apartments (built in phases)
Oak Ridge Family Apartments: 24.0 units per acre (100 percent of base density) Oak Meadows Family Apartments: 31.6 units per acre (132 percent of base density) Oak Forest Senior Villas: 27.3 units per acre (114 percent of base density) The average density of these recently built affordable housing developments in the AHO District is 26.3 units per acre. While two of these projects used a State density bonus to exceed the base density of 24 units per acre, under the proposed increase to 30 units per acre, future affordable housing developments are expected to be built at higher densities than past developments. The realistic density of 24 units per acre used in this analysis is conservative based on these development trends.
Non-Vacant Site Assumptions
While most of the sites in the sites inventory are vacant, some of the sites, particularly the existing AHO sites, have existing single family homes on the sites and are therefore 326
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-15
considered non-vacant. Once the City implements Policy Action 1.1 and increases the density on AHO sites to 30 units per acre, the City will be relying on non-vacant sites to meet about 40 percent of the lower-income RHNA. Most new development in Oakley involves demolition of an existing single-family structure on a large rural lot to build residential subdivisions. The sites in the AHO inventory have similar characteristics to sites that have been recently developed in the City. The nine non-vacant AHO sites included in the inventory all have older single-family homes. It is common in Oakley for existing older homes to be torn down to allow for new residential development, or the existing home sometimes remains and new residential infill is built around it. None of the non-vacant sites have existing commercial uses. However, recognizing that existing uses can might be an impediment to housing development, the capacity calculations for AHO sites that have existing uses have been discounted by 25 percent to provide a more conservative estimate for future capacity. The site profiles on the following pages describe the age and condition of existing uses single-family homes on non-vacant existing and candidate AHO sites.
Overlay vs. Base Zoning Assumptions
Because the AHO is an overlay zone, the base zoning of the AHO sites allows for uses other than multifamily housing to be built. Where the base zoning of an AHO site allows for commercial or single-family residential development, the capacity calculations have been further discounted by 25 percent to account for the possibility that the site could be developed with something other than multifamily housing. Discounts are shown in Tables 3-4 and 3-5 and noted in the site profiles for the existing and candidate AHO sites.
AHO Capacity and Site Descriptions
Figure 3-12 shows the location of the existing and candidate AHO sites as well as all other sites included in the Housing Element inventory. Table 3-4 identifies the existing AHO sites, Table 3-5 identifies the candidate AHO sites, and Table 3-6 identifies the potential AHO sites. Following the tables are individual site descriptions for both existing and candidate AHO sites. As described above, the inventoried capacity has been discounted for non-vacant sites and sites with base zoning other than multifamily. After accounting for realistic density and these additional discounts, on some sites this results in a more than 50 percent reduction of the actual capacity for housing. The resulting capacity is reflective of development trends on AHO sites during the Fifth Housing Element cycle, during which about 40 percent of the combined very low- and low-income RHNA were met on AHO sites.

Existing AHO Sites 1 through 4 are a cluster of existing single-family residences on East Cypress Rd. and Van Pelt Lane. The homes are all more than 40 years old built in 1970 (Site 1), 1979 (Site 2), 1972 (Site 3), and 1930 (Site 4). They are within ½ mile of existing AHO Sites 6 and 7. The sites are currently non-vacant with a base zoning of M-12 that would allow for multifamily development. The sites are located on a completely improved and dedicated arterial and there are no major infrastructure improvements needed. The sites are also adjacent to The Courtyards at Cypress Grove Apartments, an existing affordable project, making it a prime infill site that could continue a similar housing type. Site 4 is currently (December 2022) listed for sale and advertised as a development opportunity for multifamily housing. While the sites could be purchased and consolidated to make one large development site, each site could also be developed independently or developed in phases.

Downtown Specific Plan Sites
The Downtown Specific Plan (DSP), adopted in 2010 and last amended in 2017, establishes development standards for Downtown Oakley. The DSP has three subareas:
the Downtown Core (DC), the Downtown Support (DS), and the Residential Commercial Conversion Opportunity (R/CCO). The three subareas allow for residential uses at different densities, as follows:
⚫ Downtown Core: Up to 45 units per acre
⚫ Downtown Support: Up 17 to 24 units per acre
⚫ Residential/Commercial Conversion Opportunity: Up to 16.7 units per acre Housing Element Chapter 6: Constraints, provides more details on the development standards and requirements for the DSP.
There are five sites within the DSP that are included in the Housing Element sites inventory. Four of the sites are in the Downtown Support Area, where residential infill is recommended, and one site is in the Downtown Core Area. Based on the City’s history of approving multifamily housing at or above 24 units per acre (see Realistic Density discussion on page 3-13), the capacity on the sites in the DSP Downtown Support Area is based on a realistic density of 2417 units per acre, which is equal to 70 percent of the maximum density, with the exception of the larger site (DSP-1), which is assumed to be developed with a broader mix of housing types at an average density of 20 units per acre, consistent with the assumptions of the DSP. The one site within the Downtown Core, where there is no minimum density but a maximum density of up to 45 units per acre, a realistic density of 24 units per acre is assumed, based on the City’s history of approving multifamily housing at this density. (Note: there are also two proposed AHO sites within the DSP boundary. These sites are described in the AHO discussion above and are not included in the summary of DSP sites.)
The densities allowed in the DSP could provide for a broad range of housing types. Based on the allowed densities, the size of the sites, and the requirements of the DSP, these sites are considered appropriate to accommodate the moderate-income RHNA.
However, there is a new requirement of State law - Assembly Bill 725 (2021) – which requires that at least 25 percent of the remaining above moderate-income RHNA be accommodated on sites that allow at least four units of housing, and that at least 25 percent of the remaining moderate-income RHNA be accommodated on sites that allow at least four units of housing but a density of no more than 100 units per acre. As described on page 3-2, Oakley has a remaining need of only 19 above moderate-income units, meaning that 5 units in the above moderate-income category must be met on sites meeting the AB 725 criteria. The City has a remaining moderate-income RHNA of 172 units, meaning that at least 43 units in the moderate-income category must be met on sites meeting the AB 725 criteria. The DSP sites are used to satisfy the requirements of AB 725.
The DSP sites shown on Figure 3-23 and in Table 3-7 have a total estimated realistic capacity of 300 226 housing units. The Housing Element allocates 111 5 of the total units toward the above moderate-income RHNA to satisfy the 25 percent requirement and allocates the remaining 189 221 units toward the moderate-income RHNA. 340

All Other Sites
In addition to the AHO sites and DSP sites, the City has approximately 267 acres of vacant and underutilized residential land without a current project entitlement or development agreement in place. Altogether these other sites are anticipated to accommodate 16 of the moderate-income RHNA and 776 of the above moderate-income RHNA, assuming 80 percent of maximum capacity on sites. Sites included in Table 3-8 are shown on Figure 3-1. Appendix B describes each vacant and underutilized parcels, identifying the zoning designation, General Plan designation, APN, acreage, existing uses, realistic capacity, and maximum development potential.
All of the underutilized parcels are minimally developed with single family homes and/or accessory structures and do not have extensive development that would limit the future use of the parcel for the residential uses considered in the General Plan. 342

Projection of Accessory Dwelling Units
Per State law, a projection of the number of ADUs expected to be built within the eightyear planning period can also be considered as part of the inventory. The City has seen a slight increase in the rate of ADU production since 2018 when the State passed several bills to facilitate ADUs statewide. In 2020, the City adopted an ADU ordinance consistent with the requirements under State law. Table 3-9 shows the total number of ADU building permits issued by year since 2018. ADU production has remained steady, with the City issuing permits for 2.4 ADUs per year, on average.

REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-32 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
For the purpose of the Housing Element, the City assumes that ADU production will continue at the same pace experienced since 2018, resulting in 19 ADUs counted toward the 2023-2031 RHNA. ABAG prepared the Affordability of Accessory Dwelling Units in September 2021 to provide jurisdictions a foundation for housing element assumptions.
The report is based on a statewide survey conducted by the University of California at Berkley’s Center for Community Innovation, in collaboration with Baird + Driskell Community Planning in 2020. ABAG analyzed the raw survey data for Bay Area ADUs constructed in 2018 or 2019 to determine affordability. According to the ABAG report, 43 percent of ADUs, based on the East Bay counties surveyed, are assumed to be used as short-term rentals, home offices, or other non-residential uses. As such, of the 19 ADUs expected to be produced, only 10 ADUs are assumed to be available on the market as rental housing or housing for family and friends.
Using ABAG affordability recommendations for ADUs, the sites inventory includes a projection of 6 ADUs affordable to lower-income households, or 60 percent of the projected ADU units. Three ADUs, or 30 percent of projected units, are affordable to moderate-income households, and 1 ADU, or 10 percent of projected units are affordable to above-moderate income households.
RHNA Summary
Table 3-10 provides a summary of Oakley’s ability to meet the 2023-2031 RHNA. Based on the housing units in residential entitlements, Downtown Specific Plan sites, vacant sites with tentative maps, all other sites, and projection of ADUs, the City has a shortfall of 434 lower-income units, and a surplus of 2568 moderate-income units and 2,5055,689 above moderate-income units. The City must identify at least 21.7 additional acres to accommodate the shortfall of 434 lower-income units. The City’s plan to address the rezone obligation is described in Policy Action 1.1.

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY 3-33
Infrastructure Availability
This section addresses the adequacy and availability of water, sewer, and dry utilities relative to the sites in the inventory. Availability of infrastructure is not expected to pose a constraint on residential development within the time frame of the Housing Element.
The following paragraphs summarize the status of each of those services essential to residential development.
Water
The Diablo Water District (DWD) provides water service to Oakley and surrounding areas within its Diablo Water District Sphere of Influence (SOI), which includes the Cypress Corridor, Hotchkiss Tract, Veale Tract, and Knightsen, as well as the City of Oakley.
Additionally, DWD is the Groundwater Sustainability Agency within its SOI and is responsible for the management and protection of groundwater resources and interconnected ecosystems. The City and its SOI expansion areas are entirely within the DWD boundary.
The DWD 2020 Facilities Plan and 2020 Urban Water Management Plan identify the sources of DWD’s water supply, existing and projected water use, and the storage, treatment, and distribution system needed to serve its customers. DWD’s 2020 Facilities Plan indicates that DWD currently serves about 42,000 residents and anticipates serving a 2040 population estimated at about 64,000 persons. In 2019, DWD’s average day demand was 4.9 mgd and the maximum day demand was 10.0 mgd. At buildout, an average day demand of 12.55 mgd and a maximum day demand of 25.1 mgd are forecast. Water storage, treatment, and distribution facilities will need to be extended under buildout conditions, which is anticipated by the DWD 2020 Facilities Plan.
Groundwater use and quality is managed through a variety of mechanisms. DWD’s groundwater is from the East Contra Costa Subbasin, which is managed under the East Contra Costa Subbasin Groundwater Sustainability Plan (ECCS GSP). DWD is the Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) that is charged with the implementation of the ECCS GSP for the Oakley area. The ECCS GSP addresses historical and projected water supply, establishes a water budget for historical, current, and projected conditions, establishes sustainable management criteria to address water use and quality, and includes actions and implementation measures.
DWD’s water supply is adequate to meet the RHNA and all of the sites included in the sites inventory are served by adequate water infrastructure or have planned access.
Sewer
The Ironhouse Sanitary District (ISD) provides wastewater service to Oakley, Bethel Island, and unincorporated areas of eastern Contra Costa County. The City of Oakley and its SOI areas are entirely within ISD’s boundary. The wastewater services involve the transmission of wastewater from residential, commercial, and light industry to a treatment facility and the final disposal of the wastewater and residual waste solids.
ISD’s infrastructure includes gravity and pressure pipelines, pumping stations, and the Ironhouse Water Recycling Facility (IWRF). The IWRF is located on 285 acres adjacent to 345
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 3-34 CHAPTER 3 | SITES INVENTORY
the south side of Big Break and the San Joaquin River; ISD also owns approximately 3,500 acres on Jersey Island. The IWRF has a current treatment capacity of 4.3 mgd dry weather flow and 8.6 mgd maximum wet weather flow.
Significant development has and is expected to occur within ISD’s boundaries, consistent with the City’s General Plan. ISD will continue to be responsible for providing adequate infrastructure for collection, conveyance, treatment, and recycling. This will require that the District implement phased improvements to its infrastructure, including its treatment and recycling facilities, pump stations, force mains, and other pipelines.
The ISD has capacity to meet the projected housing needs through the Housing Element Planning Period. All of the sites in the sites inventory have adequate sewer access or planned access.
Dry Utilities
Electricity and gas is provided to Oakley by Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). Telephone, cable and broadband services are provided by a variety of services providers, including AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon. All of the sites identified in the inventory have access to dry utilities or planned access.
Environmental Constraints
Figure 3-3 shows environmental constraints in Oakley. As described in the Constraints Chapter, the biggest environmental constraint in Oakley is flood risk. The East Cypress Specific Plan is within the 100-year flood zone. A comprehensive engineered levee system will be constructed as part of the development of the Specific Plan for flood control purposes consistent with FEMA requirements. The levee system will protect new development while enhancing protection of existing residences within the Specific Plan Area. The engineered levee will extend completely around the boundaries of the proposed new development within the Specific Plan Area but will not surround the wetlands/dune area or the existing agricultural and residential areas located north and east of the development area. The new master levee system will remove existing single family residential areas adjacent to East Cypress Road from the 100-year storm event floodplain and will provide improved emergency access to existing residents along Sandmound Boulevard, Dutch Slough Road and adjoining areas in the event of a breach of the existing non-engineered levee surrounding these areas. The engineered levee system will also serve as a primary component of the comprehensive development of multi-use trails within the Specific Plan Area. Multi-use equestrian, biking and pedestrian trails will be developed on the top of each levee connecting to multi-use trails within arterial roadways and greenways within the Specific Plan Area. 346

Chapter 4: Fair Housing
Assessment
Introduction
Land use policies and planning directly impact the ability of individuals and families to live in neighborhoods with opportunity, including high-performing schools, greater availability of jobs, and convenient access to transit and services. Despite the longstanding federal mandate established by the Fair Housing Act1 (FHA), which prohibits
discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, and disability status, people within protected classes continue to encounter limits in housing choice and mobility.
In 2018, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 686 to expand upon the fair housing requirements and protections outlined in the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA)2 and protect the requirement to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) as published in the 2015 U.S. Department of Housing and Community Development (HUD) Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule. 3 The California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) defines AFFH as taking meaningful actions to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities resulting from past patterns of segregation to foster more inclusive communities. 4 As part of this, housing elements are required to include the following components:
⚫ Inclusive and Equitable Outreach: Housing elements must make a diligent effort to equitably include all community stakeholders in the housing element participation process.
⚫ Assessment of Fair Housing: All housing elements must include an assessment of fair housing. This assessment should include an analysis of the following four fair housing issues: integration and segregation patterns and trends, racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs, including displacement risk. 1 42 U.S.C. §§ 3601-3631
2 California Government Code Section 12900-12951 & 12927-12928 & 12955 - 12956.1 & 12960-12976 3 The 2015 HUD rule was reversed in 2020 and partially reinstated in 2021. 4 HCD AFFH Guidance Memo, 2021.

REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 4-2 CHAPTER 4 | FAIR HOUSING ASSESSMENT
⚫ Analysis of Sites Inventory: Local jurisdictions must evaluate and address how particular sites available for housing development will meet the needs of households at all income levels. The housing element must analyze and conclude whether the identified sites improve or exacerbate conditions for fair housing. ⚫ Identification of Contributing Factors: Based on findings from the previous steps, housing elements must identify, evaluate, and prioritize the contributing factors related to fair housing issues.
⚫ Priorities, Goals, and Actions to AFFH: Local jurisdictions must adopt fair housing goals and actions that are significant, meaningful, and sufficient to overcome identified patterns of segregation and affirmatively further fair housing. The housing element should include metrics and milestones for evaluating progress and fair housing results.
Fair Housing Assessment
This section serves as an assessment of fair housing practices in the City of Oakley, pursuant to Government Code Section 65583 (c)(10). It examines existing conditions and demographic patterns including patterns of integration and segregation within the City, concentrated areas of low- and moderate-income housing, and areas of low and high opportunity. The analysis is based on data and research from the U.S. Census American Community Survey (ACS) from 2000-2020, the HCD AFFH Data and Mapping Tool, the HUD AFFH Tool, Contra Costa County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice January 2020-2025 (2020 AI), and the AFFH Segregation Report: Oakley (2022) prepared by UC Merced/STIR Labs in collaboration with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG).
Notes on Geospatial Analysis
In this report, “neighborhoods” are approximated by census tracts. Census tracts are statistical geographic units defined by the U.S. Census Bureau for the purposes of disseminating data. In the Bay Area, census tracts contain on average 4,500 residents.
Nearly all Bay Area jurisdictions contain at least two census tracts, with larger jurisdictions containing dozens of census tracts.
Throughout this report, neighborhood level segregation measures are calculated using census tract data. However, some of the analysis uses data derived from a smaller geographic scale (i.e., census blocks and census block groups) to better show spatial differences in where different groups live. Census block groups are subdivisions of census tracts, and census blocks are subdivisions of block groups. In the Bay Area, block groups contain on average 1,500 people, while census blocks contain on average 95 people.
The region is the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, which is comprised of Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Marin County, Napa County, San Francisco County, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, Solano County, and Sonoma County. 349
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 4 | FAIR HOUSING ASSESSMENT 4-3
Fair Housing Enforcement, Education, and
Outreach
Fair housing enforcement and outreach capacity refers to the ability of a locality and fair housing entities to disseminate information related to fair housing laws and rights, and provide outreach and education to community members. Enforcement and outreach capacity also includes the ability to address compliance with fair housing laws, such as investigating complaints, obtaining remedies, and engaging in fair housing testing. The Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and the Unruh Civil Rights Act are the primary California fair housing laws. California state law extends anti-discrimination protections in housing to several classes that are not covered by the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA) of 1968, including prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Fair Housing Enforcement
California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) has statutory mandates to protect the people of California from discrimination pursuant to the California FEHA, Ralph Civil Rights Act, and Unruh Civil Rights Act (with regards to housing). ⚫ FEHA prohibits discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, military or veteran status, national origin, ancestry, familial status, source of income, disability, and genetic information, or because another person perceives the tenant or applicant to have one or more of these characteristics.
⚫ Unruh Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, § 51) prohibits business establishments in California from discriminating in the provision of services, accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges to clients, patrons and customers because of their sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, or immigration status.
⚫ Ralph Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, § 51.7) guarantees the right of all persons within California to be free from any violence, or intimidation by threat of violence, committed against their persons or property because of political affiliation, or on account of sex, race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, citizenship, primary language, immigration status, or position in a labor dispute, or because another person perceives them to have one or more of these characteristics.
Regional Trends
Based on DFEH Annual Reports, Table 4-1 shows the number of housing complaints filed by Contra Costa County to DFEH between 2015–2020. A slight increase in the number of complaints precedes the downward trend from 2016–2020. Note that fair housing cases alleging a violation of FEHA can also involve an alleged Unruh violation as the same unlawful activity can violate both laws. DFEH creates companion cases that are investigated separately from the housing investigation. 350

The Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (HUD FHEO) also enforces fair housing by investigating complaints of housing discrimination.
Table 4-2 shows the number of cases filed to HUD FHEO by protected class in Contra Costa County between 2015 and 2020. A total of 148 cases were filed between 2015 and June 30, 2020, with disability being the top allegation of basis of discrimination followed by familial status, race, national origin, and sex. Cases for 2020 were significantly lower because data was not collected after June 30, 2020. These findings are consistent with national trends stated in FHEO’s FY 2020 State of Fair Housing Annual Report to Congress where disability was also the top allegation of basis of discrimination.

Fair Housing Testing
Fair housing testing is a randomized audit of property owners’ compliance with local, state, and federal fair housing laws. Initiated by the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division in 1991, fair housing testing involves the use of an individual or individuals who pose as prospective renters for the purpose of determining whether a landlord is complying with local, state, and federal fair housing laws.
Regional and Local Trends
ECHO conducts fair housing investigations in Contra Costa County (except Pittsburg). The 2020 Contra Costa County Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI) did not report any findings on fair housing testing on the County level nor at the local level for the City of Oakley; however, it does bring to attention that private discrimination is a problem in Contra Costa County that continues to perpetuate segregation.
Fair Housing Education and Outreach
Regional Trends
Fair housing outreach and education is imperative to ensure that those experiencing discrimination know when and how to seek help. In Contra Costa County, local housing, social services, and legal service organizations include the Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California (FHANC), Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) Fair Housing, Bay Area Legal Aid, and Pacific Community Services (see Table 4-5). Below is a more detailed description of fair housing services provided by local housing, social services, and legal service organizations.

Fair Housing Advocates of Northern California (FHANC)
FHANC is a non-profit agency with a mission to actively support and promote fair housing through education and advocacy. Fair housing services provided to residents outside of Marin, Sonoma, or Solano County include foreclosure prevention services and information, information on fair housing law for the housing industry, and other fair housing literature. The majority of the fair housing literature is provided in Spanish and English, with some provided in Vietnamese and Tagalog.
Eden Council for Hope and Opportunity (ECHO) Fair Housing ECHO Fair Housing is a HUD-approved housing counseling agency that aims to promote equal access in housing, provide support services to aid in the prevention of homelessness, and promote permanent housing conditions. The organization provides education and charitable assistance to the general public in matters related to obtaining and maintaining housing in addition to rental assistance, housing assistance, tenant/landlord counseling, home seeking, home sharing, and mortgage and home purchase counseling. In Contra Costa County, ECHO Fair Housing provides fair housing services, first-time home buyer counseling and education, and tenant/landlord services (rent review and eviction harassment programs are available only in Concord). Although ECHO serves most of Contra Costa County, only one fair housing counselor serves the County. Fair housing services encompasses:
⚫ Counseling, investigation, mediation, enforcement, and education. ⚫ First-time home buyer counseling provides one-on-one counseling with a Housing Counselor on the homebuying process. The Housing Counselor will review all documentation, examine, and identify barriers to homeownership, create an action plan, and prepare potential homebuyers for the responsibility of being homeowners.
The Housing Counselor will also review the credit reports, determine what steps need to be taken to clean up adverse credit, provide counseling on money-saving methods, and assist in developing a budget.
⚫ First-time home buyer education provides classroom training regarding credit information, home ownership incentives, home buying opportunities, predatory lending, home ownership responsibilities, government-assisted programs, as well as conventional financing. The class also provides education on how to apply for HUDinsured mortgages, purchase procedures, and alternatives for financing the purchase.
Education also includes information on fair housing and fair lending and how to recognize discrimination and predatory lending procedures and locating accessible housing if needed.
⚫ ECHO’s Tenant/Landlord Services provides information to tenants and landlords on rental housing issues such as evictions, rent increases, repairs and habitability, harassment, illegal entry, and other rights and responsibilities regarding the tenant/landlord relationship. Trained mediators assist in resolving housing disputes through conciliation and mediation
⚫ In cities that adopt ordinances to allow Rent Reviews, tenants can request a rent review from ECHO Housing by phone or email. This allows tenants who experience 355

rent increases exceeding 10 percent in a 12-month period to seek non-binding conciliation and mediation services.
Though the Contra Costa County Consortium Analysis of Impediments (AI) to Fair Housing states that the organization provides information in Spanish, the ECHO website is predominantly in English with options to translate the homepage into various languages.
Navigating the entire site may be difficult for the limited-English proficient (LEP) population.
Bay Area Legal Aid (BayLegal)
BayLegal is the largest civil legal aid provider serving seven Bay Area counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara). With respect to affordable housing, BayLegal has a focus area in housing preservation (landlord-tenant matters, subsidized and public housing issues, unlawful evictions, foreclosures, habitability, and enforcement of fair housing laws) as well as a homelessness task force that provides legal services and advocacy for systems change to maintain housing, help people exit homelessness, and protect unhoused persons’ civil rights. The organization provides translations for their online resources to over 50 languages and uses volunteer interpreters/translators to help provide language access. Its legal advice line provides counsel and advice in different languages. Specific to Contra Costa County, tenant housing resources are provided in English and Spanish.
The Housing Preservation practice is designed to protect families from illegal evictions, substandard housing conditions, and wrongful denials and terminations of housing subsidies. The practice also works to preserve and expand affordable housing and protect families from foreclosure rescue scams. BayLegal helps low-income tenants obtain or remain in safe affordable housing by providing legal assistance in housing-law related areas such as public, subsidized (including Section 8 and other HUD subsidized projects) and private housing, fair housing and housing discrimination, housing conditions, rent control, eviction defense, lock-outs and utility shut-offs, residential hotels, and training advocates and community organizations.
BayLegal also provides free civil legal services to low-income individuals and families to prevent homelessness and increase housing stability as well as assist unhoused youth/adults address legal barriers that prevent them from exiting homelessness. This is done through a mix of direct legal services, coalition building and partnerships, policy advocacy, and litigation to advocate for systems change that will help people maintain housing, exit homelessness, and protect unhoused persons’ civil rights.

Local Trends
The City of Oakley directs its residents to Bay Area Legal Aid, Pacific Community Services, and Housing Rights, Inc. for assistance in tenant-landlord counseling, legal advice and representation, and education and outreach. While these organizations provide valuable assistance, the capacity and funding that they have is generally insufficient.
The City does not have a singular staff member dedicated to addressing housing issues, rather the City actively addresses fair housing issues as they arise through a combination of staff from the Building Division, Code Enforcement Division and Planning Division, collectively, the Community Development Department. The City provides information to the community on fair housing, including brochures and posters at the public counter and information on the City website about the Fair Housing Act with a list of resources people can contact if they are experiencing fair housing issues (https://www.ci.oakley.ca.us/fair-housing). City staff, most often with the Community Development Department of Code Enforcement, also sometimes act as a resource to help resolve disputes between tenants and landlords.

Historical Development and Investment
Prior to European contact, there were an estimated 340,000 Indigenous people living in California. The first residents of Oakley were Native Americans of the Bay Miwok, Delta Yokut, and Ohlone Tribes. With an abundance of game, plants and fish, Contra Costa County was home to hundreds of small villages. Several varieties of oak trees provided the acorns that were the mainstay of their diet, along with fish and shellfish from the Suisun Bay and the San Joaquin River.
5 Doctor John Marsh was the first Anglo settler in Contra Costa County. He arrived in the region in 1836 and built a riverboat freight landing on the San Joaquin River in the 1840s near what is now Oakley. Marsh Landing was very important to the early development of Oakley and the surrounding region.6
In the mid-19th century, Oakley was essentially four separate hamlets built by immigrant communities: Live Oak, Oakley, Iron House, and El Rancho. Live Oak, located closest to Antioch, is situated at the southernmost anchorage of the Senator John A. Nejedly Bridge (i.e., Antioch Bridge). Downtown Oakley is located closest to the train depot. The Iron House district is near Knightsen, and the El Rancho district centers around the intersection of Laurel Avenue and California State Highway 4. These smaller hamlets eventually coalesced into the community of Oakley.7
Civil War veterans Randolph Marsh and Alden Norcross acquired, surveyed, plotted, and registered the township of Oakley in 1898. The streets of the 10-block township spell Marsh’s last name Main, Acme, Rose, Star, and Home as intersected by 1st, 2nd, and 3rd streets (see image below). Today, Downtown Oakley, with its older housing stock and smaller homes, tends to be lower-income, experience higher cost burden, and have higher rates of units needing rehabilitation compared to the newer residential subdivisions in other parts of the city.
The arrival of the Santa Fe railroad, which stopped in Oakley starting in 1900, spurred agricultural growth of the area and from 1900 until the 1960s Oakley’s economy was based primarily on agriculture. By the 1930s there were packing sheds along the Santa Fe spur that shipped produce across the country. During harvest time, Oakley was filed with men that had come to work in the fields and packing sheds. A national demand for fresh produce and the need for canned vegetables in WWI and WWII spurred the agricultural economy in Oakley. Seasonal employment on farms and in packing sheds was provided by farm labor camps segregated into Chinese, “Hindu” (Indian), Philippine, Dust Bowl (Oklahoma and Arkansas), and Mexican labor. These camps were set up in vacant lots downtown and open county areas from the 1910s to 1940s.7 5 https://pioneerpublishers.com/no-longer-silenced-indigenous-peoples-reclaiming-their-stories/ 6 Oakley - East Contra Costa Historical Society (eastcontracostahistory.org) 7 Oakley Through Time | Soundings Magazine

Starting in the 1950s, Oakley, still an unincorporated community, began to rapidly transform from an exclusively agricultural community to a bedroom community supporting industrial growth in Antioch. Post WWII tract homes were built to house workers employed at the Crown Zellerbach paper plant and DuPont Chemical Works in Antioch. This rapid new growth changed the character of Oakley as new enclaves of bluecollar workers and their families lived a life apart from traditional rural families in Oakley.

OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 4 | FAIR HOUSING ASSESSMENT 4-13
Throughout the late 1900s and into the early 2000s leading up to the housing market crash, land speculation and housing development was rampant in Oakley. As farmers sought retirement or lacked an heir to take over the farm, housing developers acquired acres of vineyards, orchards, and grasslands. The primary demand for housing in Oakley was and continues to be single-family homes as new residents working in the Bay Area, many of which do not earn a high enough salary to afford the expensive housing market of the San Francisco Bay Area, have moved to Oakley seeking affordable opportunities to own their own homes. This demand is reflected in the predominance of single-family zoning in the city and the more than 5,000 entitled single-family lots in tract maps across the city.
Oakley was the last township settlement recorded in Contra Costa County in 1898. It was also the last community to incorporate as a city in Contra Costa County in 2009. In 2010, the year following incorporation, Oakley’s population was 35,432, up from about 25,000 a decade prior. Oakley has continued to grow at a faster rate than most other Bay Area communities. In 2022, the population of Oakley is nearly 44,000. As discussed in the next section, the City’s population also grew more diverse as the population grew. As a rapidly growing community with rural, agricultural roots, Oakley has experienced growing pains as many long-time residents, many of whom moved to Oakley seeking more land and a rural lifestyle, voice opposition to continued urbanization and densification.
During the last two decades, as the City has continued to grow outward, the City has also reinvested in the Downtown. The City has transformed Main Street into a complete street, built a new amphitheater at Civic Center Park, installed a train station platform and park and ride, and many other improvements to enhance Downtown Oakley.
Integration and Segregation
Race/Ethnicity
Defining Segregation
Segregation is the separation of different demographic groups into different geographic locations or communities, meaning that groups are unevenly distributed across geographic space. The data presented in this section describing racial and income segregation in Oakley is based on the data and research presented in the AFFH Land Use Segregation Report prepared for Oakley by the UC Merced/ STIR labs team in collaboration with ABAG. The report examines two spatial forms of segregation:
neighborhood level segregation within a local jurisdiction and City level segregation between jurisdictions in the Bay Area.
⚫ Neighborhood level segregation (within a jurisdiction): Segregation of race and income groups can occur from neighborhood to neighborhood within a City. For example, if a local jurisdiction has a population that is 20 percent Latino, but some neighborhoods are 80 percent Latino while others have nearly no Latino residents, that jurisdiction would have segregated neighborhoods.
360
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 4-14 CHAPTER 4 | FAIR HOUSING ASSESSMENT
⚫ City level segregation (between jurisdictions in a region): Race and income divides also occur between jurisdictions in a region. A region could be very diverse with equal numbers of White, Asian, Black, and Latino residents, but the region could also be highly segregated with each City comprised solely of one racial group.
Regional Trends
The AFFH Land Use Segregation Report found that across the San Francisco Bay Area, White residents and above moderate-income residents are significantly more segregated from other racial and income groups The highest levels of racial segregation occur between the Black and White populations. The analysis showed that the amount of racial segregation both within Bay Area cities and across jurisdictions in the region has decreased since the year 2000. However, compared to cities in other parts of California, Bay Area jurisdictions have more neighborhood level segregation between residents from different racial groups. Additionally, there is also more racial segregation between Bay Area cities compared to other regions in the state.
As discussed in the 2020 AI, these patterns are also true for Contra Costa County. Contra Costa County is a large, diverse jurisdiction in which people of color comprise a majority of the population. As of the 2010 Census, 47.75 percent of residents were non-Hispanic Whites, 8.92 percent of residents were non-Hispanic Blacks, 24.36 percent were Hispanics, 14.61 percent were non-Hispanic Asians or Pacific Islanders, 0.28 percent were non-Hispanic Native Americans, 3.77 percent were non-Hispanic multiracial individuals, and 0.30 percent identified as some other race. Black residents tend to be concentrated in the cities of Antioch, Hercules, Pittsburg, and Richmond and the unincorporated community of North Richmond while Hispanic residents are concentrated in the cities of Pittsburg, Richmond, and San Pablo; in specific neighborhoods within the cities of Antioch, Concord, and Oakley (see Figure 4-1). Refer to Figure 4-2 for the distribution and proportion of non-White residents at the block group level. 361

To measure segregation the County, Table 4-6 provides racial and ethnic dissimilarity trends from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Dissimilarity indices are used to measure the evenness with which two groups (frequently defined on racial or ethnic characteristics) are distributed across the geographic units, such as block groups within a community. The index ranges from 0 to 100, with 0 meaning no segregation and 100 indicating complete segregation between the two groups. The index score can be understood as the percentage of one of the two groups that would need to move to produce an even distribution of racial/ethnic groups within the specified area. For example, if an index score is above 60, 60 percent of people in the specified area would need to move to eliminate segregation. The following can be used to interpret the index:
⚫ <40: Low Segregation
⚫ 40-54: Moderate Segregation
⚫ >55: High Segregation
All non-White residents in Contra Costa County are considered moderately segregated from White residents, with an index score of 41.86 at the census tract level and 44.93 at the block group level (Table 4-6). This means that slightly less than half of all non-White households per census tract would need to move neighborhoods in order to achieve a “balanced” neighborhood representation.

Since 1990, segregation has increased from low to moderate levels for Hispanic residents but remained relatively steady for all other non-White groups. This trend is commonly seen throughout the State and is likely attributed to an increase of Hispanic residents during the migration boom of the mid-to-late 1990s. A 2 percent increase in segregation also occurred for Asian or Pacific Islander residents. Block group level data reveals that segregation is more prominent amongst Asian or Pacific Islander residents than what is measured at the tract level (index score of 40.55 at the block group level versus 35.67 at the tract level). For Black residents, segregation has decreased by 13 percent since 1990.
The proportion of Black residents has remained relatively steady during this same time period, indicating segregation has been diminishing for the Black population.
The 2020 AI reported that the main “driver of desegregation at a higher level of geography – whether the County or the Region – has been the out-migration of Blacks from historically Black neighborhoods in the Cities of Richmond, Oakland, and San Francisco toward suburban cities that have historically had small Black populations. Some of the neighborhoods to which Blacks have moved in these cities, like the City of Antioch, have concentrations of Black population relative to the city-wide average but relatively low Black populations in comparison to historically Black neighborhoods in the Cities of Richmond, Oakland, and San Francisco.8”
Local Trends
Table 4-7 below presents the racial demographics in Oakley for the years 2000, 2010, and 2020. The racial and ethnic demographics of the Oakley population have changed dramatically over the past two decades with the White population decreasing from 64.3 percent of the population in 2000 to 38.5 percent in 2020, and the percentage of all other racial and ethnic groups increasing. As of 2020, Oakley has only a slightlya higher share of White residents than the Bay Area as a whole, a higher share of Latino/a residents, a higher share of Black residents, and a much lower share of Asian/Pacific Islander residents.

The racial dot map of Oakley in Figure 4-3 below offers a visual representation of the spatial distribution of racial groups within the jurisdiction. Generally, when the distribution of dots does not suggest patterns or clustering, segregation measures tend to be lower. Conversely, when clusters of certain groups are apparent on a racial dot map, segregation measures may be higher.

White residents are evenly distributed throughout the developed residential areas of the City although there are some slight concentrations in non-White residents in certain neighborhoods on the east side of the City, east of Main Street; in the Downtown Specific Planning area; and bordering Brentwood. Hispanic and Latino residents are clustered near the City’s downtown neighborhoods. Asian and Pacific Islander households are clustered in the Cypress Grove neighborhoods and off Neroly Road bordering Brentwood. 365

Segregation Indices
There are three indices described below that measure segregation and integration at a local and regional level. The isolation index measures the segregation of a single group, and the dissimilarity index, described above, measures segregation between two different groups. The Theil’s H-Index can be used to measure segregation between all racial or income groups across the City at once. Theil’s H index is provided in addition to these required measures. The indices range from 0 to 1. Higher values indicate that groups are more unevenly distributed.

Data for 2019 is from U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 5-Year Data (2015-2019), Table B03002. Data from 2010 is from U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2010, Table P4. Data for 2000 is standardized to 2010 census tract geographies and is from U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000, Table P004.
The isolation index shows that the most isolated racial group in Oakley are White residents. The isolation index of 0.394 for White residents means that the average White resident lives in a neighborhood that is 39.4 percent White. Table 4-9 shows the White isolation index value for the region is 0.429, meaning that on average White Bay Area residents live in a jurisdiction that is 42.9 percent White in 2020. Among all racial groups in Oakley, the White population’s isolation index has changed the most over time, becoming less segregated from other racial groups between 2000 and 2020. This is likely because the non-White population in the City has increased over time, naturally diversifying neighborhoods in Oakley.

Other racial groups are less isolated in Oakley, meaning they may be more likely to encounter other racial groups in their neighborhoods. The highest segregation is between Black and White residents (see Table 4-8). Oakley’s Black/White dissimilarity index of 0.179 means that 17.9 percent of Black (or White) residents would need to move to a different neighborhood to create perfect integration between Black residents and White residents. When analyzing the dissimilarity index, it is important to note that dissimilarity index values are less reliable for a population group if that group represents approximately less than 5 percent of the jurisdiction’s total population. While Oakley has no groups making up less than 5 percent of its population, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Other or Multi-Racial residents all make up less than 10 percent of the City’s population and are going to attribute to segregation patterns in the City.
Tables 4-8 and 4-9 also present the Theil’s H Index value as a measure of segregation.
This index measures how diverse each neighborhood is compared to the diversity of the whole City. Neighborhoods are weighted by their size, so that larger neighborhoods play a more significant role in determining the total measure of segregation. Between 2010 and 2020, the Theil’s H Index for racial segregation in Oakley increased, suggesting that there is now more neighborhood level racial segregation within the jurisdiction. In 2020, the Theil’s H Index for racial segregation in Oakley was lower than the average value for Bay Area jurisdictions, indicating that neighborhood level racial segregation in Oakley is less than in the average Bay Area City.
Figures 4-4 and 4-5 below provide a visual representation of how racial segregation index values in Oakley, described above, compared to values in all other Bay Area jurisdictions.
Figure 4-10 compares isolation index values and Figure 4-11 compares dissimilarity index values. In these charts, each dot represents a Bay Area jurisdiction. For each racial group, the spread of dots represents the range of index values among Bay Area jurisdictions and each dashed red line represents the Bay Area average.

Persons with Disabilities
In 1988, Congress added protections against housing discrimination for persons with disabilities through the FHA, which protects against intentional discrimination and unjustified policies and practices with disproportionate effects. The FHA also includes the following unique provisions to persons with disabilities: (1) prohibits the denial of requests for reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities, if necessary, to afford an individual equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling; and (2) prohibits the denial of reasonable modification requests. With regards to fair housing, persons with disabilities have special housing needs because of the lack of accessible and affordable housing, and the higher health costs associated with their disability. In addition, many may be on fixed incomes that further limit their housing options.
Regional Trends
According to the 2015-2019 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates, 118,603 residents (10.9 percent of Contra Costa County’s population) reported having one of six disability types listed in the ACS (hearing, vision, cognitive, ambulatory, selfcare, and independent living). The percentage of residents detailed by disability are listed in Table 4-10. Note that an individual may report more than one disability. 369

In Contra Costa County, the percentage of individuals with disabilities increases with age, with the highest percentage of individuals with disabilities being those 65 years and older. In Oakley, however, 5 percent of individuals between the ages of 18-64 have disabilities, 3.6 percent of individuals over 65 years and older have disabilities, and only
0.8 percent of individuals under the age of 18 have disabilities. Refer to Table 4-11 for the distribution of percentages by age.

In terms of geographic dispersal, there is a relatively homogenous dispersal of persons with disabilities, especially in Central Contra Costa County, where most census tracts have less than 10 percent of individuals with disabilities. Towards Eastern Contra Costa County, the Western boundary, and parts of Southern Contra Costa County, however, the percentage of population with disabilities increases to 10–20 percent. Comparing Figure 4-6 and Figure 4-42, areas with a high percentage of populations with disabilities correspond with areas with high housing choice voucher (HCV) concentration (24 percent of people who utilize HCVs in Contra Costa County have a disability). Though use of HCVs does not represent a proxy for actual accessible units, participating landlords remain subject to the FHA to provide reasonable accommodations and allow tenants to make reasonable modifications at their own expense. Areas with a high percentage of populations with disabilities also correspond to areas with high percentages of lowmoderate income communities. 370

Local Trends
The City of Oakley has a higher percentage of population with disabilities than Contra Costa County (a difference of 0.6 percent) and different concentrations of disability types. The greatest percentage of disabilities in Oakley are those with independent living difficulties (6 percent), followed by ambulatory (5.7 percent), Vision (4.3 percent), Cognitive (3.3 percent), Hearing (2.3 percent), and self-care difficulties (1.6 percent).
Referring to Figure 4-7a, which shows 2015-2019 ACS data, populations with disabilities are concentrated in the southwest and east portions of the City, where 10-20 percent of the population has a disability in these areas. Other portions of the City have less than 10 percent of population with a disability. Figure 4-7b shows earlier data from the 2010- 2014 ACS. While this map seems to tell a slightly different story, with the northwestern area reporting 10-20 percent disability and the westernmost Census tract reporting less than 10 percent disability, the difference in percentages between 2010-2014 and 2015- 2019 is actually quite small. This is because most Census tracts report between nine and 11 percent of the population with a disability.

Familial Status
Under the FHA, housing providers (e.g., landlords, property managers, real estate agents, or property owners) may not discriminate because of familial status. Familial status refers to the presence of at least one child under 18 years old, pregnant persons, or any person in the process of securing legal custody of a minor child (including adoptive or foster parents). Examples of familial status discrimination include refusing to rent to families with children, evicting families once a child joins the family (through birth, adoption, or custody), enforcing overly restrictive rules regarding children’s use of common areas, requiring families with children to live on specific floors, buildings, or areas, charging additional rent, security deposit, or fees because a household has children, advertising a preference for households without children, and lying about unit availability.
Families with children often have special housing needs due to lower per capita income, the need for affordable childcare, the need for affordable housing, or the need for larger units with three or more bedrooms. Single parent households are also protected by fair housing law. Of particular consideration are female-headed households, who may experience greater housing affordability challenges due to typically lower household incomes compared to two-parent households. Often, sex and familial status intersect to compound the discrimination faced by single mothers.
Regional Trends
Figure 4-8 indicates that most children living in Contra Costa County live in marriedcouple households, especially in central parts of the County where the percentage of children in such households exceed 80 percent. Census tracts adjacent to these areas also have relatively high percentages of children living in married-couple households (60 percent–80 percent). Census tracts with the lowest percentage of children in marriedcouple households (less than 20 percent) are located between Pittsburg and Antioch. 373

Figure 4-9 depicts the concentration of households headed by single mothers in the County by Census Tract. Areas of concentration include Richmond, San Pablo, Rodeo, Bay Point, Pittsburg, Antioch, and to the west of Concord. Those communities are also areas of high minority populations. By contrast, most of the central County and portions of central County to the south of the City of Concord have relatively low concentrations of children living in female-headed households (less than 20 percent). These tend to be more heavily White or White and Asian and Pacific Islander communities. 374

Referring to Figure 4-10, all census tracts (except a sliver on the west) have at least 61-80 percent of children in married-couple households. The westernmost sliver has 41-60 percent of children in married-couple households. The southwest and most eastern portions of the City have over 80 percent of children in married-couple households.
Census tracts with a high percentage of children in married-couple households on the east have the lowest use of HCVs.
The City has an overall low percentage of female-headed households of less than 20 percent, except for tracts in the northwest neighborhoods in the City’s downtown that have 21-40 percent of female-headed households (see Figure 4-11). Census tracts with a higher percentage of children in female-headed households correspond with the highest use of HCVs in the City. These tracts also correspond with block groups with the lowest income in the City, areas with a high percentage of population with low to moderate income levels, and highest overpayment by renters. As will be discussed later, these tracts were also classified as sensitive communities vulnerable to displacement based on rising property values based on the UC Berkeley Urban Displacement Project. 375

Income Level
Each year, HUD receives custom tabulations of American Community Survey (ACS) data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Known as the "CHAS" data (Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy), it demonstrates the number of households in need of housing assistance by estimating the number of households that have certain housing problems and have income low enough to qualify for HUD’s programs (primarily 30 percent, 50 percent, and 80 percent of median income). HUD defines a Low to Moderate Income (LMI) area as a census tract or block group where over 51 percent of the population is LMI (based on HUD income definition of up to 80 percent of the Area Median Income).
Regional Trends
Table 4-12 lists Contra Costa County households by income category and tenure. Based on the above definition, 38.71 percent of Contra Costa County households are considered LMI as they earn less than 80 percent of the HUD Area Median Family Income (HAMFI). Almost 60 percent of all renters are considered LMI compared to only 27.5 percent of owner households.

Block groups with high concentrations of LMI (between 75–100 percent of the population) can be found clustered around Antioch, Pittsburg, Richmond, and San Pablo. There are also small pockets with high percentages of LMI population in Oakley. Other areas of the County have a moderate percentage of LMI population (25 percent–75 percent). 377

Table 4-14 provides a list of households by income category and tenure in Oakley in 2015. Generally speaking, there are disparities between the incomes of homeowners and renters, a pattern observed on both the regional and local levels. In Oakley, only 17.36 percent of owner households are considered LMI (earns less than 80 percent of HAMFI) compared to about 50 percent of renter households. The reverse is true for those of high income households (more than 100 percent of HAMFI), where almost 60 percent of owner households are high income, and slightly less than 30 percent of renter households are high income.

Figure 4-13 below shows the percent of population with low to moderate income levels by block group in the City of Oakley. A ‘slice’ of block groups located in the northwest portion of the City (known as the Carol Lane, Elm, and Sandy Lane neighborhoods) have the highest percentage of LMI populations (75–100 percent) followed by tracts with 50– 75 percent of populations with LMI income approaching the center of the City (within the Teakwood and Duarte neighborhoods). The rest of the City has 25–50 percent of population with LMI income. The block groups in the southwest area of the City have the lowest percentage of population with LMI levels. These block groups are among the most cost-burdened in the City and are especially vulnerable to displacement due to rising property values. As such, they have been classified as sensitive communities by the UC Berkeley Urban Displacement Project.
Income segregation can also be analyzed by calculating values for the segregation indices discussed previously. Similar to the racial segregation measures shown in Tables 4-8 and 4-9, Table 4-15 presents segregation index values for income segregation for Oakley and the entire nine-county Bay Area in 2010 and 2015 and Table 4-16 presents the same for the region.
The dissimilarity index and isolation index are calculated by comparing the income demographics of Oakley and local jurisdictions to the regional income group composition.
For example, Table 4-8 shows that the regional isolation index value for very low-income residents is 0.315, meaning that on average very low-income Bay Area residents live in a jurisdiction that is 31.5 percent very low-income. The regional dissimilarity index for lower-income residents (below 80 percent AMI) and other residents is 0.193, which means that across the region 19.3 percent of lower-income residents would need to move to a different jurisdiction to create perfect income group integration in the Bay Area as a whole.

Concentrated Areas of Race/Ethnicity and Income
Racially and Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty
The Racially or Ethnically Concentrated Areas of Poverty (R/ECAP) are neighborhoods in which there are both racial concentrations and high poverty rates. HUD’s definition of a R/ECAP is:
⚫ A census tract that has a non-white population of 50 percent or more (majorityminority) or, for non-urban areas, 20 percent, AND a poverty rate of 40 percent or more; OR
⚫ A census tract that has a non-white population of 50 percent or more (majorityminority) AND the poverty rate is three times the average tract poverty rate for the County, whichever is lower.
Identifying R/ECAPs can help facilitate understanding of entrenched patterns of segregation and poverty since households within R/ECAP tracts frequently represent the most disadvantaged households within a community.
9 The National Bureau of Economic
Research found that urban areas that are more residentially segregated by race and income tend to have lower levels of upward economic mobility than other areas.10 Using HUD’s methodology, R/ECAPs are meant to identify where residents may have historically faced discrimination and/or continue to be challenged by limited economic opportunity.
Regional Trends
In Contra Costa County, the only area that meets the official definition of a R/ECAP is Monument Corridor in Concord (highlighted with red stripes in Figure 4-14 below). 9 Contra Costa County 2020-2025 Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice.

Expanded R/ECAPs in Contra Costa County
According to the 2020 Contra Costa County AI, however, the HUD definition that utilizes the federal poverty rate is not suitable for analysis in the San Francisco Bay Area due to the high cost of living. The HUD definition would severely underestimate whether an individual is living in poverty. The 2020 AI proposes an alternate definition of a R/ECAP that includes majority-minority census tracts that have poverty rates of 25 percent or more. Under this definition, twelve other census tracts would qualify as R/ECAPs in the areas of Antioch (1), Bay Point (1), Concord (3), Pittsburg (2), North Richmond (1), Richmond (3) and San Pablo (1). Refer to Figure 4-15 for the locations of R/ECAPS based on the expanded definition. Note that the Contra Costa County AI does not provide a legend for the map.
According to the 2012–2016 American Community Survey, 69,326 people lived in these expanded R/ECAPs, representing 6.3 percent of the County’s population. Hispanic and Black populations make up a disproportionately large percentage of residents who reside in R/ECAPs compared to the population of the County or Region as a whole. In Contra Costa County, approximately 53 percent of individuals living in R/ECAPs are Hispanic, nearly 18 percent are Black, 19.57 percent are Mexican American, 4.65 percent are Salvadoran American, and 1.49 percent are Guatemalan Americans. Families with children under 18 still in the household comprise almost 60 percent of the population in Contra Costa County’s R/ECAPs. To those already living in poverty, the higher rate of dependent children in their households would translate to a greater strain on their resources. 382

Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence
The Racially Concentrated Areas of Affluence (RCAAs) are defined by the HUD as communities with a large proportion of affluent and non-Hispanic White residents.
According to a policy paper published by HUD, non-Hispanic Whites are the most racially segregated group in the United States. In the same way neighborhood disadvantage is associated with concentrated poverty and high concentrations of people of color, distinct advantages are associated with residence in affluent, White communities. RCAAs are currently not available for mapping on the HCD AFFH Data Viewer.11 As such, an alternate definition of RCAA from the University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs is used in this analysis. RCAAs are defined as census tracts where (1) 80 percent or more of the population is White, and (2) the median household income is $125,000 or greater (slightly more than double the national median household income in 2016).
Regional Trends
By cross-referencing Figure 4-2 (Racial Demographics in Contra Costa County) above and Figure 4-17 below showing median household incomes by census block group in Contra Costa County, RCAAs can be identified in the expanse from Lafayette, in the north, to Danville, in the south. This aligns with the cities’ racial demographic and median income (summarized in Table 4-17 below). Although not all census tracts/block groups meet the criteria to qualify as RCAAs, there is a tendency for census block groups with higher White populations to have higher median incomes throughout the County.
Figure 4-17: Median Household Income in Contra Costa County Source: Map 10(a) of Contra Costa Housing Collaborative AFFH analysis. 11 RCAAs were added to the HCD AFFH Data Viewer in June 2022. There are no RCAAs in Oakley. The closest RCAAs are in Brentwood and in the unincorporated County southeast of Oakley.

Local Trends
Figure 4-18a shows the median household income by block group from the 2015-2019 ACS in the City of Oakley. Income above $87,000 is considered above HCD’s 2020 Median Income for California. As shown in the figure, the majority of Oakley, particularly the newer residential subdivisions, has incomes higher than the State Median Income, except central and northwestern Oakley, which include the older areas of Downtown Oakley.
Radiating from the center of the City towards the south and west, median household income increases from $55,000 to $87,000, $125,000, and greater than $125,000.
Northwest Oakley has the lowest median income of less than $30,000. However, areas with high median income do not overlap with census tracts where there is 80 percent or more White residents, thus there are no RCAAs in Oakley.
Figure 4-18b shows the median household income in Oakley according to the 2010-2014 ACS. Comparing this to the 2015-2019 ACS data shows that incomes in most census tracts increased over time, with the exception of the northwesternmost census tract, which shows a decrease in the median income. This decrease is likely a result of the development of new affordable lower-income housing built in this census tract after 2010. 385

Block groups with the lowest median income correspond to areas with high percentages of renter units with HCVs, children in female headed households, populations with low to moderate income levels, and cost-burdened renter households. According to the AFFH DataViewer, the northwest area of Oakley with the lowest median income contains a concentration of subsidized housing units.
Access to Opportunities
Access to opportunity is a concept to approximate the link between place-based characteristics (e.g., education, employment, safety, and the environment) and critical life outcomes (e.g. health, wealth, and life expectancy). Ensuring access to opportunity means both improving the quality of life for residents of low-income communities, as well as supporting residents’ mobility and access to ‘high resource’ neighborhoods.
HUD Opportunity Indices
This section presents the HUD-developed index scores based on nationally available data sources to assess residents’ access to key opportunity assets in comparison to the County. Table 4-18 provides index scores or values (the values range from 0 to 100) for the following opportunity indicator indices:
⚫ School Proficiency Index: The school proficiency index uses school-level data on the performance of 4th grade students on state exams to describe which neighborhoods have high-performing elementary schools nearby and which are near lower performing elementary schools. The higher the index value, the higher the school system quality is in a neighborhood.
⚫ Labor Market Engagement Index: The labor market engagement index provides a summary description of the relative intensity of labor market engagement and human capital in a neighborhood. This is based upon the level of employment, labor force participation, and educational attainment in a census tract. The higher the index value, the higher the labor force participation and human capital in a neighborhood.
⚫ Transit Trips Index: This index is based on estimates of transit trips taken by a family that meets the following description: a single parent family of three, renting, with income equal to 50 percent of the AMI. The higher the transit trips index value, the more likely residents in that neighborhood utilize public transit. ⚫ Low Transportation Cost Index: This index is based on estimates of transportation costs for a family that meets the following description: a single-parent family of three, renting, with income equal to 50 percent of the AMI. The higher the index value, the lower the cost of transportation in that neighborhood.
⚫ Jobs Proximity Index: The jobs proximity index quantifies the accessibility of a given residential neighborhood as a function of its distance to all job locations within a region or Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA), with larger employment centers weighted more heavily. The higher the index value, the better the access to employment opportunities for residents in a neighborhood. 387
OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 CHAPTER 4 | FAIR HOUSING ASSESSMENT 4-41
⚫ Environmental Health Index: The environmental health index summarizes potential exposure to harmful toxins at a neighborhood level. The higher the index value, the less exposure to toxins harmful to human health. Therefore, the higher the index value, the better the environmental quality of a neighborhood, where a neighborhood is a census block-group.

TCAC Opportunity Maps
TCAC Maps are opportunity maps created by the California Fair Housing Task Force (a convening of the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC)) to provide research and evidencebased policy recommendations to further HCD’s fair housing goals of (1) avoiding further segregation and concentration of poverty and (2) encouraging access to opportunity through land use policy and affordable housing, program design, and implementation.
These opportunity maps identify census tracts with highest to lowest resources, segregation, and poverty, which in turn inform the TCAC to distribute funding more equitably for affordable housing in areas with the highest opportunity through the LowIncome Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) Program.
TCAC Opportunity Maps display areas by highest to lowest resources by assigning scores between 0–1 for each domain by census tracts where higher scores indicate higher “access” to the domain or higher “outcomes.” Refer to Table 4-19 for a list of domains and indicators for opportunity maps. Composite scores are a combination score of the three domains that do not have a numerical value but rather rank census tracts by the level of resources (low, moderate, high, highest, and high poverty and segregation). The 388
REVISED HCD REVIEW DRAFT | JANUARY 2023 OAKLEY HOUSING ELEMENT 2023-2031 4-42 CHAPTER 4 | FAIR HOUSING ASSESSMENT
opportunity maps also include a measure or “filter” to identify areas with poverty and racial segregation. The criteria for these filters were:
⚫ Poverty: Tracts with at least 30 percent of population under the federal poverty line; ⚫ Racial Segregation: Tracts with location quotient higher than 1.25 for Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, or all people of color in comparison to the County TABLE 4-19: DOMAINS AND LIST OF INDICATORS FOR OPPORTUNITY MAPS Domain Indicator
