MEMORANDUM
City Council Staff Report - Page 1 of 2

ITEM 9.4.

DATE: March 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Stefan Heisler, Housing Manager
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A GRANT APPLICATION AND LOCAL MATCH

REQUIREMENT FOR THE POTENTIAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS

CENTER AT THE MILLS CROSSING CIVIC CENTER

RECOMMENDATION
Provide direction and approve the Resolution authorizing an application for, local match commitment to, and receipt of, Behavior Health Continuum Infrastructure Program (BHCIP) grant funds.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Action on this item will allow staff to submit an application to the competitive statewide BHCIP $518.5 million Round 3 Launch Ready grant program (with $23,553,889 set aside for the Sacramento region), and approve a local funding match of 10% of the awarded grant amount for grant funding to construct a potential health and wellness center at the Mills Crossing Civic Center.

BACKGROUND
The approved concept plan (on December 6, 2021) for the Mills Crossing Civic Center (MCCC) includes approximately 80,000 to 120,000 square feet of community-commercial facilities including:
 a 30,000 square feet community arts center (including a 300-seat black box theater),  a 30,000 square feet flexible community-commercial building,  a potential +/- 30,000 square feet of sports/recreation space,  a potential +/- 30,000 square feet health and wellness center,  approximately 2.5 acres of public open space/plazas/neighborhood greens,  and an estimated 120 to 125 units of mixed-income housing (where at least 25% of the units will be affordable).

As the Mills Crossing Civic Center project continues to progress, staff are looking for multiple funding opportunities to augment and maximize the leverage of the City’s future investments in each component of this project. The subject of this report is a grant opportunity for the health

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2
and wellness center. Future grant opportunities will likely be available for the theater, arts, community commercial, public open spaces, and housing components.

One such opportunity to augment and leverage the City’s investment has arisen for the health and wellness component of the MCCC. The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) was authorized through legislation in 2021 to establish BHCIP and award approximately $2.1 billion to construct, acquire, and expand properties and invest in outpatient healthcare infrastructure that addresses behavioral health needs.

DHCS issued a Request for Applications (RFA) on January 31, 2022 for BHCIP Round 3 Launch Ready grants in the amount of $518,500,000 with $23,553,889 set-aside for the Sacramento Area. The City may only apply for the amount set-aside for the Sacramento region.

BHCIP Launch Ready grants provide funding to construct, acquire, and rehabilitate real estate assets to expand the behavioral health continuum of treatment and service resources .

Proposed projects must demonstrate they have been through a planning process and are ready for implementation. Projects submitted by City applicants are required to make a local match of ten percent (10%) of grant amount.

Eligible projects include community wellness centers very similar to what has been envisioned for the future health and wellness component of the Mills Crossing Civic Center. While this grant would support the construction of the entire health and wellness center, behavioral health is envisioned as being only a portion of the services offered in addition to primary medical, dental, and vision care, specialty health (acupuncture, physical therapy, etc.), community health, and others.

Securing a BHCIP grant will significantly increase the long-term financial feasibility of the wellness center component of the Mills Crossing Civic Center and improve the City’s long-term operational sustainability of the project.

Pending Council direction, staff will finalize the application funding request, and the local match requirement, for the application due date of March 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
The BHCIP grant award is capped at $23,553,889 within the Sacramento Region at large and requires a local match of 10% of the potential project grant amount eventually awarded by DHCS.

Ben Chan
City of Rancho Cordova
Public Works Department
2729 Prospect Park Drive
Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 sent via email: [email protected] Subject: 2020 Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project – RC02: Contract Amendment Request #1
Dear Mr. Chan,
Thank you for the opportunity to work with the City of Rancho Cordova (City) on the 2020 Neighborhood Street Rehabilitation Project – RC02 (Project). As the Project has progressed, we have incurred costs for unanticipated items of work outside of our initial scope of services for which we are now requesting a contract amendment to augment our budgeted amount to account for these additional services. We held off on this amendment request in an effort to minimize the additional costs and attempt to absorb as much of the extra work into our original budget as possible. The additional items of work are described below.

Our initial scope and fee included a utility coordination task that was limited to only the distribution of project A-Letters. In addition to the distribution of A-Letters, we created and sent B-Letter packages to the utility owners with facilities in conflict with this project and performed considerable amounts of coordination with those utility owners. Our original scope and fee included an assumption that stated “no utility relocations will be required other than adjustments to grade of City owned utilities.” We successfully coordinated with PG&E to have four shallow gas services lowered out of conflict with the Full Depth Reclamation with Cement (FDR-C) roadway section ahead of the start of construction for Phase 2.

As a part of the City’s Phase 1 65% PS&E comments, the City performed a detailed site walk and we were provided the locations of damaged curb, gutter and sidewalk that the City wished to have replaced with this project. With the City’s 90% PS&E comments, a portion of Dolecetto Dr., Barbera Way, Lambrusca Dr., Ribier Way, Charbono Way, Chianti Ct., Zaggos Ct., Coloma Frontage (SW), Milazzo Way, and Pedro Way were added to the scope of Phase 1. R.E.Y.

Engineers performed a detailed site walk of the added streets to identify areas of damage and to review the locations of resident comments collected from the MetroQuest survey. After the site walk, we compiled our notes and photos into a report for the City’s review and ultimate acceptance.

As a result of reorganizing the streets between phases, the already completed phase 1 and phase 2 geotechnical Pavement Engineering Reports we consolidated and combined into the RC02 Neighborhood Street Pavement Engineering Report. This report superseded the individual phase 1 and phase 2 reports and included the geotechnical findings for all streets within the project limits.

ITEM 9.5. ATTACHMENT 2

In developing our initial scope and fee, we made assumptions based on the street PCI data regarding which streets would receive pavement rehabilitation treatments and which streets would receive roadway reconstruction treatments by means of FDR-C. It was planned that streets identified as having a PCI of 26 or less would receive full roadway reconstruction and on these streets our subconsultant marked the depths of the existing utilities to proactively identify shallow utilities that may be in conflict with the FDR-C operations. For the streets initially planned to receive a pavement rehabilitation treatment, we performed pavement analytics and a site walk to identify digout locations. Once we received the results of the geotechnical investigations, we learned that, in addition to the streets previously identified for roadway reconstruction, Beclan Drive and Momolo Court were also good candidates for FDR-C.

Contrarily, we learned that Tannat Way, Saltana Way, Nieretto Court, Malvasia Way, Sarda Way, Vernaccia Circle, Zibibba Way and Negrara Way were all in better shape than initially anticipated and switched from full roadway reconstruction to pavement rehabilitation. To accommodate these changes in scope, a second round of utility investigation and digout identification tasks were performed.

Per the City’s request, improvements to Zinfandel Drive and Malbec Court were added to the Phase 2 plan set as a bid alternate. Additional work to incorporate these improvements included the development of plan sheets, details, quantity take offs, and striping configuration as well as a minimal amount of geotechnical investigation.

The costs accumulated for the additional services rendered, as described above, was $31,834.00.

In an effort to partner with the City, we are only requesting that $25,000 be added to our current total contract amount of $739,649.00, amending it to a new total of $764,649.00.

If you have any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Jim Fisher, PE, QSD/P

PROJECT AT THE AMERICAN RIVER RANCH TO INCREASE

SAFETY AND PROMOTE LIVABILITY

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adoption of the Resolution would authorize the City Manager to execute Contract Amendment No. 2020-183-1 to increase the contract amount from $206,800 to $319,235 and extend the contract term to June 30, 2023 for continued engineering design and construction management services with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. for Soil Born Farms Parking Lot and Driveway Improvements at the American River Ranch to increase safety and promote livability.

BACKGROUND
The Soil Born Farms Urban Agriculture & Education Project's mission is to create an urban agriculture and education project that empowers youth and adults to discover and participate in a local food system that encourages healthy living, nurtures the environment and grows a sustainable community. The goals that support that mission are: 1) Local Organic Food Production, 2) Community Education, 3) Food Access for All and 4) Reconnect with the Land.

In an effort to support the needs of Soil Born Farms, the Parking Lot Improvement Project begins at the facility's entrance off of Chase Drive and extends to existing unpaved parking lot.

The Soil Born Farms parking lot, which is currently unpaved, will be paved and improved with lighting to provide approximately 60 new paved parking stalls. Site amenities will include a widened driveway, deer fence, an entry gate, post and cable railing, entry signs, drainage facilities and lighting.

City Council Staff Report - Page 2 of 2
In October 2021, the City Council approved a design and construction contract with Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. for the current phase of improvements and in August, 2021, the City Council approved a construction contract with Western Engineering Contractors, Inc.

The project is nearing construction, but has experienced additional design and construction management scope of work effort to keep the project on track to meet the operational needs of Soil Born Farms. Therefore, this contract amendment is for additional scope of work related to design support, construction management and materials testing.

FISCAL IMPACT AND FUNDING SOURCE
The Community Enhancement & Investment Fund will provide an additional $112,435 for the contract amendment.

MEMORANDUM
ITEM 9.7.

DATE: March 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Darcy Goulart, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: 2021 GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL REPORT TO INCLUDE THE HOUSING

ELEMENT AND MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN

ANNUAL REPORT

RECOMMENDATION
Receive the 2021 General Plan and Housing Element Annual Report to include the MultiJurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan as required by State law.

RESULT OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
By receiving this report, the City Council is satisfying its obligation under State law. No further action is required on the part of the City Council. The purpose of the report is to provide an annual accounting of implementation of the City’s General Plan.

BACKGROUND
General Plan:

State law requires that the City complete an annual review of the General Plan by April 1st of each year, covering the previous calendar year. The purpose of the review is to:
 Identify compliance with the State General Plan Guidelines;  Identify status of the General Plan and the process towards its implementation; Housing Element:
 Describe the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housings Needs Allocation (related to areas zoned to allow for affordable housing); and
 Describe progress in addressing/removing governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.

Further, State law requires that the City submit the report to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Completion of the report may make the City eligible for various State grants and other programs.

City Council Staff Report – Page 2 of 6
The 2021 annual report covers the calendar year (Planning Year) 2021 (January 1 to December 31).

As in previous reports, staff has included a summary outlining the major accomplishments of the City in 2021 related to General Plan implementation. The Report also includes information on the status of residential construction compared to the City’s obligation under the current Regional Housing Needs Plan/Regional Housing Needs Assessment. The tables are used to collect and report this data are required by HCD.

The annual report can be used as a guide for development of the 2022-2023 fiscal budget for the City, helping departments plan their budgets with General Plan implementation in mind.

Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan:

The Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) assesses natural hazards of concern to Sacramento County and Cities within; evaluates risk to life safety, public health, property, and the environment; and evaluates mitigation measures to reduce these risks and vulnerabilities, minimize losses, and increase community resilience:
 Annual Review describing the City’s progress on the Hazard Mitigation Plan Action Items.

ANALYSIS
General Plan
As indicated in previous reports, staff identified a concern that the actions of the General Plan may not be accurately programmed as they relate to implementation. In an effort to keep the General Plan current and ensure it remains a useful document that sets the policy direction for the City, staff had previously recommended that a more detailed analysis of the General Plan actions be undertaken. This analysis would re-program, as appropriate, some of the General Plan action items as follows:

1. Departments that are more appropriate for leading the work effort;

2. Realign the timing of the actions in keeping with Council-identified priorities, and;

3. Update the General Plan Map.

This effort could also serve as an opportunity to drop actions that are no longer necessary or appropriate for Rancho Cordova and create new ones that are. Completion of this task would result in General Plan amendments to the Implementation Element and General Plan Map. This effort was not programmed into previous year’s work plans for budget reasons. Following completion of the 2021 review, staff is again recommending that this effort be undertaken.

Housing Element
Staff completed the 6th Cycle update to the Housing Element for the period of 2021-2029 and received HCD certification on September 27, 2021.

Staff will continue implementation of preexisting activities and will begin implementation of new activities identified in the Housing Element and monitor the production of units at the income levels required by the regional housing needs allocation (RHNA). The number of units produced during the 2021 calendar year are listed in Table 1: RHNA Allocation and Production for Housing Element Cycle 2021-2029, below. Affordable housing projects continue to face a

challenging competitive environment for available affordable housing grant funding. However, additional State funding for affordable housing is anticipated to be available over the next several years and staff expect to proceed with planning for one or more new projects in 2022.

New single-family home sales continue to be affordable to households with moderate incomes (sales prices up to $520,250) and above moderate incomes (sales prices above $525,250). No new single-family homes were sold at an affordable price for households with low incomes (sales prices up to $345,000). The most affordable new single-family home sold for $396,000 in the Veranda at Stone Creek neighborhood.

3 INTRODUCTION

P U R P O S E O F T H E AN N U A L RE P O R T
California law requires each city to adopt a comprehensive, long-term General Plan to guide the physical development of the incorporated city and land outside city boundaries that bears a relationship to its planning activities. The General Plan serves as a blueprint for future growth and development; the blueprint to “Build a City.” As such, the plan contains policies and programs designed to provide decision makers with a solid foundation for land use and development decisions.

State law further requires the City to complete an Annual Report by April of each calendar year and submit the report to the Office of Planning and Research and the Department of Housing and Community Development.

This report must:
 Identify compliance with the State General Plan Guidelines;  Identify status of the General Plan and the process towards its implementation;  Describe the City’s progress in meeting its Regional Housings Needs Allocation; and  Describe progress in addressing/removing governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing.

State law requires that the General Plan Annual Report be complete and submitted to the State by April 1st of each year. The report covers the previous calendar year for which it is being completed. This Annual Report looks at the City’s progress towards implementing its General Plan during the 2021 planning period.

RE C O M M E N D A T I O N S
It is recommended that the City update the Implementation Matrix in the General Plan by adjusting timing, responsible parties, and establishing new action items, as appropriate, during the 2022 Planning Year. This action will require amendment of the General Plan and will help ensure that the goals and policies of the Plan are being achieved by keeping the Plan current. Funding for this task should be included in the 2022-2023 fiscal year budget for all departments.

Tracking the implementation of the General Plan is paramount in achieving the vision of the City that the General Plan establishes and providing this information in a transparent report holds the City accountable to the public for the goals it has set.

This document will provide a status update for major City accomplishments and housing element action items for the 2021 Calendar year. This document will be reviewed for adoption by the City of Rancho Cordova City Council on March 21, 2022 to adhere to the state required due date of April 1, 2022 (Government Code Section 65400(a)(2)).

ADMINISTRATION AND STATUS OF THE

GENERAL PLAN
Upon incorporation in July 2003, the City adopted the Sacramento County General Plan. Soon thereafter, the City embarked on an intensive process of crafting the first General Plan for the City. The resulting plan was adopted on June 26, 2006. More than 50 workshops, stakeholder meetings, study sessions, and public hearings were held to understand the vision and desires for Rancho Cordova and to develop the blueprint to build the future City.

The General Plan for Rancho Cordova includes not only the seven mandated elements of a General Plan as required by State law (land use, circulation, housing, noise, safety, conservation, and open space) but additional topics of special and unique concern to the community, including urban design, economic development, air quality, historic and cultural resources, and infrastructure, services, and finance. As the basis for local government decision-making, the plan includes goals and policies by which projects are analyzed against and actions to be taken by the City necessary to achieving the overall vision for the community.

DE P A R T M E N T A L RE S P O N S I B I L I T I E S
Implementation of the General Plan is the responsibility of the numerous departments and teams in the City.

Each action item identified in the General Plan has been tasked to one or more City departments. The General Plan includes an Implementation Matrix that lists each of the action items in the plan and identifies the responsible agency, timing, and funding source for each action. City departments responsible for implementation of the General Plan include the:
 City Manager’s Office
 Planning Department
 Building Department
 Public Works Department
 Finance Department
 Economic Development Department
 Redevelopment Agency; (no longer valid)
 Housing Division
 Neighborhood Services Division
 Police Department.
 Public Information Office
 Other Agencies/Committees to be established by the Council

5 There are several other governmental agencies that provide services within the City’s corporate boundary.

While these agencies are not part of the City’s operational structure and not directly responsible for implementation of the General Plan, the City does coordinate its activities with these other agencies and relies upon their assistance for full implementation of the General Plan. These additional agencies include, but are not limited to, the:

Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District;
Cordova Recreation and Parks District;
Folsom-Cordova Unified School District; and
Elk Grove Unified School District.’
Sacramento City Unified
Sacramento County

A M E N D M E N T S T O T H E GE N E R A L PL A N
State law allows the City to amend any of its mandated elements of General Plan up to four times per calendar year. Amendments may be proposed and acted upon at any time during the year and one action may include multiple amendments. Any changes to the General Plan require public hearings by the City Council and evaluation of the environmental impacts as required by the California Environmental Quality Act.

There was one (1) General Plan Amendment that occurred in the year of 2021. The Amendment included the Housing Element that was updated and adopted by the City of Rancho Cordova City Council in June 2021 (Housing Element 2021-2029). This 2021 update satisfies the legally mandated update to reflect the 2021-2029 Regional Housing Needs Allocation. In addition, the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan (2021-2026) was approved and adopted by the City of Rancho Cordova on March 7, 2022.

This annual report includes the General Plan and Housing Element reports as required by State law.

7 Section 2-Land Use Element
The Land Use Element provides the central framework for the General Plan and serves as a compass to guide planners, the general public, and decision makers on the desired pattern of development in Rancho Cordova.

It describes both existing and future land use activity, the latter of which was designed to achieve the City’s long-range goals for physical development. This Element also identifies the distribution, location, and intensity of all land uses types throughout the City. Text, maps, and diagrams establish the blueprint for future land uses within the City and describe how these uses are integrated with the other General Plan elements and policies.

Section 3-Urban Design Element
The Urban Design Element provides policies and design concepts relating to the form and character of new private development and public improvements, along with focused plans for areas of the City in need of special design attention. The Element also includes policies and implementation programs aimed at creating Rancho Cordova as a unique place with a strong, memorable character.

Section 4-Economic Development Element
The Economic Development Element attempts to identify the City’s strengths and weaknesses as it seeks to provide a full range of employment, housing, retail/service, and entertainment options to residents. The Element establishes goals, policies, and actions to improve the City’s prosperity, maintain regional competitiveness, ensure accessibility to assets, market the City, and, perhaps most importantly, set fair and equitable rules for development. This Element is also intended to create wealth for the citizens of Rancho Cordova by providing opportunities to increase property values, fully utilize their properties, offer continuing education opportunities, and support entrepreneurship.

Section 5-Housing Element
The purpose of the Housing Element is to identify housing solutions that solve local housing problems and to satisfy the Regional Housing Needs Allocation requirements. The City recognizes that housing is a need that is met through many resources and interest groups. This Element establishes the local goals, policies, and actions (programs) the City will implement and/or facilitate to solve the identified housing issues.

Section 6-Circulation Element
The Circulation Element describes existing and future transportation conditions and systems. The Element establishes goals, policies, and actions that will guide the City’s circulation system, including the roadway network, transit facilities and services, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The text, maps, and diagrams are a basis for the development of the City’s transportation network.

The goals, policies, and actions provided are intended to achieve the City’s vision of open spaces that are accessible to all members of the community. This Element establishes a policy framework and action program for the improvement, expansion, and maintenance of the City’s open space.

Section 8-Infrastructure, Services, and Finance Element This Element seeks to identify the ideal level and type of infrastructure and service provision necessary to achieving the goal of becoming a first-rate city. It also explores possible mechanisms to finance infrastructure and service improvements. The goals, polices, and actions contained in the Element set forth methods for ensuring that Rancho Cordova provide the highest service levels possible.

Section 9-Natural Resources Element
The Natural Resources Element identifies the ways in which Rancho Cordova will protect, maintain, and enhance its natural resources for the betterment of current residents and future generations. It also attempts to balance the present needs of resource users with the need for resource conservation for the common good.

The goals, policies, and actions in this Element will foster the preservation of Rancho Cordova’s many valuable natural resources, including wildlife, habitat, water resources, soils, and mineral resources.

Section 10-Cultural and Historic Resources Element
The Cultural and Historic Resources Element seeks to identify and protect locally important sites, buildings, and memorabilia that reflect the history of the community. It also seeks to honor the people of Rancho Cordova by promoting the inclusion of cultural arts into the fabric of the community as a component that contributes to the overall quality of life for residents, workers, and visitors. The Element provides goals, policies, and actions designed recognize and preserve the history of the area and celebrate the diversity of the City’s population.

Section 11-Safety Element
The Safety Element seeks to recognize and remedy both present and anticipated concerns about the on-going well being of City residents, employees, and visitors. The goals, policies, and actions identify viable solutions to minimize the potential risk of death, injuries, property damage, and economic hardship and social displacement resulting from fires, floods, earthquakes, landslides, and other hazards. The Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is included in the Safety Element. Additionally, this Element addresses safety and hazards related to airport land use, groundwater contamination, traffic and pedestrian accidents at interfaces with rail lines, the potential release of hazardous materials into the community, and general issues related to police and fire protection services.

The Air Quality Element establishes a framework for how the City will improve air quality in the Planning Area and work with other communities in the region and the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD) to improve air quality in the Sacramento Valley Air Basin. This Element also underscores the effects that land use patterns and the resulting transportation behavior have on air quality. The goals, policies, and actions outlined in this Element focus on improving air quality through embracing regional coordination, “smart growth” land use concepts, transportation demand management, energy conservation, cleaner industries and vehicles, and public education.

Section 13-Noise Element
The goal of the Noise Element is to identify the major sources of noise within the City and discuss the City’s role in ensuring comfortable and safe noise levels throughout the community. The goals, policies, and actions provided will, when implemented, improve the noise environment in the Planning Area.

Section 14-Implementation Element
This section contains a complete list of the action programs contained within each element. The implementation element was intending to assist staff in the monitoring the progress of those programs.

10 REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS AND REMOVAL OF

GOVERNMENTAL CONSTRAINTS TO HOUSING
In an effort to address state-wide housing needs, the State of California requires regions to address housing issues and needs based on future growth projections for the area. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) allocates regional housing needs numbers to regional councils of governments throughout the state. The Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) for the Sacramento area is developed by the Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), and allocates to cities and the unincorporated counties their “fair share” of the region’s projected housing needs, or the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

The needs plan allocation is broken down into four household income groupings over the planning period.

The intent of the RHNP is to ensure that local jurisdictions address not only the needs of their immediate areas but also fill the housing needs for the entire region. Additionally, a major goal of the RHNP is to ensure that every community provides an opportunity for a mix of housing to all economic segments of its population.

State law requires that the City identify its progress in meeting its share of the regional housing needs allocation and identify local efforts to remove governmental constraints to housing. The City’s General Plan Housing Element identifies solutions to meeting these objectives and reflects the 2021-2029 Regional Needs Plan and Regional Housing Needs Allocation for the Sacramento region. 2 0 2 1 - 2 0 2 9 RE G I O N A L H O U S I N G NE E D S PL A N The Sacramento Area Council of Governments (SACOG), along with the City and the other jurisdictions in the region, has prepared the Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) for the 2021-2029 planning period. The 2021-2029 RHNP for the Sacramento region identified a total number of dwelling units as the City’s “fair share” of the regional needs total. Table 2 identifies the breakdown of this number for each of the four income categories covered by the RNHP for the City.

The RHNP and RHNA only require the City to identify a suitable amount of land needed to build the number of units allocated to the City under the RHNA. The Housing Element was updated and certified by HCD in 2021 to reflect the 2021-2029 RHNA.

Table 3 summarizes the number of units permitted in the City in 2021 by income category and dwelling type.

Table 4 summarizes the cumulative total number of units permitted in the City during the current RHNP planning period. All numbers are based on issuance of building permits from January 1 to December 31 of the given year.

RE M O V A L O F GO V E R N M E N T A L C O N S T R A I N T S T O H O U S I N G The Housing Needs Assessment of the General Plan states that the development standards for residential development in the City do not constrain the development of new housing or affordable housing. It identifies significant constraints as generally being non-governmental, including high land and construction costs, lack of gap funding for affordable projects, and a variety of other market factors. The Citywide Zoning Code includes land use districts, regulations, and standards that allow for alternative housing products at higher densities and facilitate the provision of live-work units and mixed-use developments.

Adopt and periodically update development standards and design guidelines consistent with current Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). Specifically, incorporate provisions to address the following:

Intended to keep intruders easily observable, natural surveillance provisions maximize visibility of people, parking areas, and building entrances (e.g., doors and windows that look out on to streets and parking areas, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and streets, front porches, adequate nighttime lighting).
- Territorial Reinforcement. Physical design can create or extend a sphere of influence. Users then develop a sense of territorial control while potential offenders, perceiving this control, are discouraged. This design concept is implemented by features that define property lines and distinguish private spaces from public spaces using landscape plantings, pavement designs, gateway treatments, and fences. - Natural Access Control. A design concept directed primarily at decreasing crime opportunity by denying access to crime targets and creating a perception of risk for offenders. This design concept is achieved by designing streets, sidewalks, building entrances, and neighborhood gateways to clearly indicate public routes, and also by discouraging access to private areas with structural elements. - Target Hardening. This is accomplished by adding features that prohibit entry or access, including window locks, dead bolts for doors, and interior door hinges.

Residential development projects of 100 gross
acres or more shall include a minimum of 5
percent of the total project residential
developable acreage (net) for residential uses of
30 units per acre or higher. This minimum high
density acreage requirement is calculated to
satisfy projected RHNA to the City. Additionally
the City will require a minimum of 5 percent for
residential uses of 10 units per acre or higher.

Development projects with a requirement of less
than 5 acres in either or both categories may opt
to designate land off-site, if deemed appropriate
for the project. If projects propose densities
higher than the identified density, the required
acreage shall be decreased accordingly.

For example, if a project is required to provide 15
acres at 30 units per acre, that project could
alternatively provide 11.25 acres at 40 units per
acre. Similarly, if the project’s requirement for
land with density of 10 units per acre was 6
acres, the project could alternatively provide 4
acres at 15 units per acre.

For the purpose of satisfying the 5 percent for
land uses at or above 30 units per acre, sites
must meet the following requirements:

Sites must be zoned exclusively residential.

Acres used to satisfy RHNA requirements will be
required to maintain set minimum densities.
