CITY OF ROCKLIN
MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 26, 2025
TO: City Council
FROM: David Mohlenbrok, Community Development Director Arwen Wacht, Planning Services Manager
Nathan Anderson, Principal Planner
RE: 2021-2029 Housing Element Program 10 – Alternative Sites Item #PH1
1) Since the publication of the August 26, 2025, agenda, staff has received multiple pieces of public correspondence. These items are attached to this memorandum for the Council’s review.
2) State law requires that the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) review draft revisions to a Housing Element before it is approved by the local jurisdiction’s governing body. Staff submitted the proposed General Plan Housing Element Amendment to HCD for review and comment prior to the Planning Commission’s hearing on the matter.
HCD staff gave feedback that the City’s number of sites including in the RHNA overlay rezone would be sufficient to accommodate the City’s RHNA requirements, but directed staff to also add analysis in the text of the Housing Element explaining the loss of previously identified sites, current and completed construction of affordable projects, and provide HCD with further analysis on how the amendment will comply with Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing requirements.
Staff has made the requested edits to the text of the Housing Element and anticipates providing the edits to HCD for their review in the near future, which is attached hereto for Council’s review and consideration.
Staff has proactively discussed these revisions with HCD staff, and staff believes the revised Housing Element text amendment will comply with the state law requirements needed for HCD to re-certify the City’s Housing Element. However, HCD has not yet completed their formal review of the revised language nor has HCD sent a letter with written findings that the revisions are compliant with State law. Therefore, Council may consider continuing it’s action on the Resolution in order to provide HCD with an add itional opportunity on staff’s proposed revisions.
Should Council choose to approve this Resolution this evening, staff recommends Council approve the Resolution incorporating the attached revisions in the motion for approval.
3) Housing Element Program 10 outlines the City’s strategy for accommodating both the 6th Cycle RHNA and the 5th Cycle unaccommodated need during the 2021 –2029 planning period. The program commits the City to rezoning and amending land use designations on 95. 58 acres of vacant and underutilized land to Res 24+, and 64.33 acres of land that is vacant and underutilized to MU 24+, to meet the City’s lower income RHNA of 3,543 units.
Planning Commission Blue Memo
2021-2029 Housing Element Program 10
August 26, 2025
Program 10 also states that, to ensure adequate capacity for the moderate -income RHNA, the City will rezone 51.06 acres of vacant land and 26.69 acres of underutilized land, as shown in Table 7-43. While Program 10 does not cite a specific unit count for the moderate category, Table 7-43 identifies a total of 1,010 units – a surplus of 239 units above the RHNA requirement of 771 moderate units.
When drafting the current Alternative Sites Inventory to make up RHNA site deficits, Planning staff originally set out to identify the same number of acres as Program 10 originally identified.
And so, with the addition of the Alternative Sites, the City now proposes approximately 80 acres of vacant and underutilized land, yielding a total of 1,634 units – a surplus of 863 moderate units above the required RHNA for moderate. While this unit surplus is fairly significant, the acreage surplus is much smaller.
In light of the Planning Commission’s recommendation that the City Council consider removing one or more sites from the Alternative Sites inventory, Planning staff contacted HCD to discuss the acreage requirements in Program 10. Staff explained that compliance with the Housing Element should be based on meeting the required unit totals, regardless of acreage, and advocated for modifying Program 10 to eliminate acreage references and instead focus solely on the number of units required for each income category under the City’s RHNA.
HCD considered and ultimately concurred with staff’s position and confirmed that unit count is the critical measure. As a result, staff secured HCD’s agreement that Program 10 may be amended to remove acreage requirements and rely exclusively on unit totals for demonstrating compliance.
Therefore, as part of the General Plan Amendment which is anticipated to come back to the City Council on September 9, 2025, staff will be proposing to modify Program 10 as follows:
10. INVENTORY OF SITES FOR HOUSING/REZONE
As part of this Housing Element update, the City identified additional parcels suitable for residential development. To help facilitate the development of affordable housing on these sites, the City will work with interested developers and provide financial and/or regulatory incentives, as feasible.
Objective: Annually review the sites inventory to accommodate the City’s RHNA of 5,661.
Monitor development applications with the available sites table and encourage and facilitate the development of affordable housing on Rocklin’s remaining sites designat ed for medium-high and high-density residential uses. Make the inventory of sites available to developers and offer regulatory and/or financial incentives to facilitate the development of housing affordable to lower income households.
To accommodate the City’s 6th cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), and the 5th cycle unaccommodated need, the City will rezone and amend the land use designation on 95.58 acres of vacant and underutilized land to Res 24+, and 64.33 acres of land that is vacant and underutilized to MU 24+, to meet the City’s lower income RHNA of 3,543 units (identified in Table 7-42). All sites will have a minimum density of 24 units per acre.
Mixed Use sites will have a maximum density of 40 dwelling units per acre and sites zoned Res 24+ will have a High Density Residential (HDR) land use designation with no maximum Planning Commission Blue Memo
2021-2029 Housing Element Program 10
August 26, 2025
density. Rezoned sites will permit owner -occupied and rental multifamily uses by right pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2(i) for developments in which 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower income households. All sites will requir e a minimum of 20 units per acre and will allow for at least 16 units per site, per state law requirements. The City will ensure that this rezone effort will ensure consistency with the general plan designations and zoning districts.
Additionally, to ensure capacity for the City’s moderate income RHNA, the City will rezone vacant and underutilized properties 51.06 acres of vacant land to R-3, RD-20 and MU 10+, and 26.69 acres of underutilized land to MU 10+, identified in Table 7 -43 to provide a minimum inventory of 771 moderate units.
If this amendment is approved, the requirement for acreage will no longer be part of this process and the City can focus exclusively on providing the minimum inventory of units required by the State.
Staff recommends that the City Council direct staff to make this change as part of the General Plan Resolution.
4) Following publication of the packet, staff was informed by HCD that any projects that had been approved and/or constructed should not be included in the Available Sites Inventory and should be addressed separately in the Housing Element. While these units still count toward the City’s overall production totals, they are categorized separately from the vacant and underutilized sites inventory.
As a result of this adjustment, the surplus in the Lower -income category has increased from 366 units to 690 units, while the Moderate- income category surplus has decreased from 1,003 units to 863 units. The reason for the increase in the Lower-income category was because the 324-unit University Avenue Apartments project was moved from the Moderate to the Lower category based on information regarding their anticipated affordability. Exhibit B of the proposed Ordinance identifies the acreage and unit counts for all available sites to accommodate the City’s RHNA requirements, and has been amended to reflect this (see attached and updated Tables 7 - 41 through 7-44, and Table 7-46).
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the revised exhibits attached to this Blue Memo in place of Ordinance Exhibit B. This is included in both redline and clean versions.

HOUSING RESOURCES
REGIONAL HOUSING NEED
State law (California Government Code Section 65584) requires that each city and county plan to accommodate a fair share of the region’s housing construction needs. In urban areas, state law provides for councils of governments to prepare regional housing allocation plans that assign a share of a region’s housing construction need to each city and county. In the six -county greater Sacramento region (comprising the counties of Sacramento, Place r, El Dorado, Yolo, Sutter, and Yuba), SACOG is the entity authorized to determine the future housing needs for the region. SACOG adopted a regional housing allocation plan in March 2020, called the Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP). This plan covers the period from May 15, 2021, through May 15, 2029.
The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is a minimum projection of additional housing units needed to accommodate projected household growth at all income levels by the end of the housing element’s statutory planning period.
Table 7-36 shows the City’s regional housing need by income level.
TABLE 7-36: REGIONAL HOUSING NEED ALLOCATION 2021-2029
Income Category (% of County AMI) Number of Units Percent Very Low (31 to 50%) 1,911 33.8%
Low (51 to 80%) 1,151 20.3%
Moderate (81% to 120%) 771 13.6%
Above Moderate (Over 120%) 1,828 32.3%
Total 5,661 100.0%
Source: Final Regional Housing Needs Plan, SACOG, 2020.
Note: * It is assumed that 50 percent of the low income RHNA will be allocated towards extremely low- income units.
UNACCOMMODATED REGIONAL HOUSING NEED ALLOCATION FROM THE 5TH CYCLE Program 11 of the 2013–2021 Housing Element stated that the City would identify and rezone approximately 261.4 acres of underutilized and vacant land within the City, at a minimum density of 22 units per acre with a maximum allowable density of 30 units per acre. This rezone would have provided for the development of the remaining lower-income RHNA of 1,769 units.
After further review it was determined that there were several sites that were appropriately zoned with a corresponding land use designation to accommodate the 5 th cycle RHNA in 2012, with additional sites
available in 2014. Table 7-37 below depicts the available sites prior to the beginning of the 5th cycle projection period (January 1, 2013). Table 7-38 summarizes the available capacity in the 5th cycle planning period compared to the 5th cycle RHNA. Table 7-38 shows that the City had capacity for 1,288 units and after subtracting the 1,769 lower- income RHNA, there is an unaccommodated need of 481 units.

2021–2029 Housing Element 7-95
REALISTIC CAPACITY
Housing Element law requires jurisdictions to provide a requisite analysis showing that zones identified for lower-income households are sufficient to encourage such development. The law provides two options for preparing the analysis: (1) describe market demand and trends, financial feasibility, and recent development experience; (2) utilize default density standards deemed adequate to meet the appropriate zoning test.
According to state law, the default density standard for the City of Rocklin is 30 dwelling units per acre.
The City is relying on the High Density Residential land use designation that currently allows for 15.5 or more units per acre and the Mixed Use land use designation that currently allows from 10 -40 units per acre. There is no density cap on development within the High Density Residential land use designation. Program 10 will modify the allowable densities to require a minimum of 24 units per acre for both designations. Additionally, for the Mixed-Use sites that the City is relying on to accommodate a porti on of the lower income RHNA the analysis includes a conservative approach and reduced the unit potential by 50% to accommodate potential for non-residential development.
On December 10, 2024, the Rocklin City Council approved a General Plan Amendment (GPA) (Resolution No. 2024-274) and adopted the Residential Minimum Density Overlay (RMDO) District (Ordinance No. 1183) to support the implementation of Program 10.
The RMDO Overlay establishes minimum residential density requirements across all areas of the City, including those within and outside of General Development Plan areas. It is organized into three categories, consistent with the City’s RHNA obligation identified in Program 10:
• RMDO-RES-24+: Residential areas with a minimum density of 24 dwelling units per acre • RMDO-MU-24+: Mixed-use areas with a minimum density of 24 dwelling units per acre • RMDO-MU-10+: Mixed-use areas with a minimum density of 10 dwelling units per acre
The RMDO -R24+ overlay requires that any future residential development on designated properties be constructed at a minimum density of 24 dwelling units per acre. Similarly, the RMDO -MU24+ and RMDO - MU10+ overlays establish minimum residential densities of 24 and 10 dwelling units per acre, respectively.
As part of the 2024 GPA/Rezone effort, approximately 117 total acres were designated with these overlays to meet lower-income RHNA requirements, with approximately 104 acres of this total categorized as “assumed acreage”, meaning the developable portions o f the project that are not constrained by biological, topographical, or other sensitive features. For the purpose of calculating potential units, the “assumed acreage” number is utilized. Based on this assumed acreage, the unit capacity for these previousl y-amended sites totaled 2,575 units.
In addition, an additional approximately 25 acres were designated to meet moderate -income RHNA requirements, resulting in a unit capacity of 349 units.
AVAILABILITY OF SITES
SITE IDENTIFICATION PROCESS
The City is required by state law to identify and maintain an Available Sites Inventory that provides zoning and land use at densities considered feasible to accommodate the City’s RHNA for all income levels. The default density standard for the City of Rocklin is 30 units per acre.
City of Rocklin August 2025
2021–2029 Housing Element 7-96
InSince 2018, City staff beganhas workinged to identify available sites with assistance from the RHNA Ad Hoc Committee. The Ad Hoc Committee consisted of two City Council Members, two Planning Commissioners, one former mayor, three housing developers (including those with expertise in affordable ho using development) and a representative from the Building Industry Association. All meetings of the Committee were open to and regularly attended by members of the public. The City also retained a professional meeting facilitator to assist throughout the process.
The focus of the Ad Hoc Committee was:
1. Review and provide recommendations related to the Land Use Balance Assessment.
2. Develop guidelines to evaluate requests for rezoning/re-designation of property from non-residential to residential and/or increase residential densities to 22+ units per acre.
3. Develop recommendations to update the City’s inventory of available sites for affordable residential development and any additional criteria for considering future changes to the inventory with the goal of meeting the City’s RHNA.
4. Prepare recommendations to clarify the standards for development in Mixed Use zones.
The City received preliminary recommendations from the Committee regarding potential sites to be included in the City’s available sites inventory which were reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public workshop conducted on April 16, 2019 and a final sites vote on June 21, 2019 was informed by input from the Planning Commission workshop conducted in April 2019 and the information presented by the Land Use Balance Assessment consultants on March 17, 2019.
Property owners of all sites under consideration were notified of the workshops and the Committee’s work efforts by direct mail. Several landowners as well as RHNA Committee Members and members of the public were in attendance.
To help inform the development of a potential sites list, the City identified a set of objective criteria (both positive and negative). Criteria included avoiding locations that were largely adjacent to single-family land uses and considering sites that were in close proximity to arterials and transit routes, parks, services and places of employment. Looking at the types of land use conversions that might be considered, a number of items came into play, such as the age of structures, whether or not properties had existing revenue or job generating land uses, and whether existing developed sites were significantly underutilized.
Vacant land was preferred to developed land, but redevelopment of some sites was factored in due to the lack of areas for expansion, since the City is close to buildout. Ultimate City Council action on the sites to be selected was based in large part on the recommendations from the Committee and an Available Sites Inventory List was approved as part of the 2021-2029 Housing Element Update in August 2021.
Since 2021, the Housing Element’s Available Sites Inventory has been reduced several times. Following the publication of the Housing Element, several development applications were submitted and ultimately approved by the City. As a result, several market -rate projects, on sites originally designated for “Lower” and “Moderate” RHNA categories in the Housing Element, were approved. This led to the loss of approximately 32 acres from the RHNA Sites Inventory. Consequently, these properties were no longer eligi ble for inclusion in the City’s RHNA capacity during the 2024 GPA/Rezone effort.
City of Rocklin August 2025
2021–2029 Housing Element 7-97
Based on the previous 2021-2029 Housing Element obligations, removal of these sites has created a shortfall for both the “Lower” and “Moderate” income RHNA categories. To address this shortfall, staff began the process of developing an Alternative Available Sites Lists. As a majority of available sites within the City identified as meeting the previously determined objective criteria already been identified in the orig inal Inventory, the City amended the search criteria to also include properties with an existing residential and/or mixed use land use designation. As a result of this process, a list of alternative sites for potential inclusion in the City’s updated RHNA Sites Inventory and Tables 7-41 through 7-44 have been updated.
LARGE SITES
Per State law, sites smaller than half an acre or larger than 10 acres are not considered adequate to accommodate lower income housing needs unless it can be demonstrated that sites of equivalent size were successfully developed during the prior planning p eriod or other evidence is provided that the site can be developed as lower income housing. The City has assisted with large lot development as discussed under the heading -- Large Site and Underutilized Site - Project Examples.
UNDERUTILIZED SITES
The inventory lists several non-vacant, underutilized sites with land use designations that allow for residential development and are suitable for residential redevelopment at a higher density or with greater intensity. The inventory includes analysis for the vacant developable portion of underutilized sites, on underutilized sites consisting of excess parking areas or abandoned foundations, the entire site is included as it is anticipated that the parking would be redeveloped, and where demolition of an existing structure would be required and there’s uncertainty about whether or not that is feasible during the projection period, the assumed capacity has been reduced, assuming 24 units per acre.
LARGE SITE AND UNDERUTILIZED SITE - PROJECT EXAMPLES
The City’s Mixed Use (MU) General Plan Land Use Designation allows for office, commercial and residential uses with a density range of 10 to 40 units per acre. There is currently no percent requirement for office, commercial or residential, the site can de velop with just one of any of the three use types. Since the City created the Mixed-Use Land Use Designation in 2012 as part of its comprehensive General Plan Update, the actual development proposals that have come forward are largely solely residential.
It is typical for MU sites to develop with solely residential.
Although ideally the MU designation would result in the construction of true vertical or horizontal mixed use projects, the City has a healthy track record of approving solely residential projects within that land use category, with most MU designated sites being proposed and ultimately constructed as 100% residential. The Wildcat Subdivision (aka Durango) in Whitney Ranch, the Spring Valley Project in North West Rocklin. • The Pines Assisted Living site in North West Rocklin
• The Rocklin Gateway Project at Midas and Pacific Street in Central Rocklin.
The City is also currently processing an application for another Mixed Use site in North West Rocklin (Placer Creek Apartments) which would also be a solely residential project.
City of Rocklin August 2025
2021–2029 Housing Element 7-98
It should be noted that several of the units in both the Spring Valley and Wildcat Subdivision projects consisted of single family residential for sale products that sold at Moderate Income levels. The Rocklin Gateway Project has not yet been constructed, but was approved for 204 apartment units, 42 of which were required to be affordable to lower income households at 80% or less AMI. Although ideally the MU designation would result in the construction of true vertical or horizontal mixed use projects, the City has a healthy track record of approving solely residential projects within that land use category.
K-Mart Site Redevelopment into the Quarry Place Project – The City has also worked creatively with St. Anton Development Company, a well -known affordable housing developer, to process entitlements including a General Plan Amendment, Rezone, Tentative Subdivision Map and Design Review to facilitate the conversion of the former K-Mart property (both vacant and developed commercial parcels) located at the corner of Pacific Street and Sunset Boulevard into 180 apartments that will be 100% affordable to households at 50 and 60% AMI. The project also includes 40 small lot single family residential lots (referred to as “Cobblestone”) and two future commercial pads on the Pacific Street frontage of the development. The 15.4 acre site originally consisted of 9 separate parcels that were consolidated and reconfigured into the new development layout. The density of the apartment component is just under 21 dwelling units per acre. Removal of the former K- Mart retail building (i.e., 86,479 square feet in size and built in 1988 ) is a key component of the development plan illustrating that redevelopment opportunities are feasible.
Placer Creek Apartments Project – Another residential development proposed on a consolidated site greater than 10 acres is the Placer Creek Apartments project (a current application for a Rezone and Design Review).
This proposal would combine one 0.84-acre site and one 9.18-acre site into a single 10.2 acre parcel and proposes the development of 232 apartments.
Sagora Senior Independent Living and Assisted Living Project – In 2015, developers requested the creation of
14.23-acre site out of a 92-acre parcel and processed a Use Permit and Design Review entitlement to create the Sagora Senior Independent Living and Assisted Living Project on a site in Northwest Rocklin designated as Business Professional and zoned Business Professional/Commercial (PD -BP/Comm). The project is age restricted and consists of 226 total living units offering a range of living and care options including duplex cottages, independent living units, assisted living units, and memory care. This project is now fully developed and occupied.
SMALL SITE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS
While there are examples of multifamily development projects and proposals on parcels larger than 10 acres in the City, there are also examples where multifamily housing units have been developed or proposed on smaller sites or a series of small sites that have been consolidated.
There is an existing occupied 6 -unit single story garden court style apartment building on a 0.43-acre lot (Assessor’s Parcel Number 016-230-005) located at 3350 Sunset Boulevard.
Just prior to the economic downturn, the City approved Triton Towers – A a mixed-use project on Sunset Boulevard, consisting of a two -story office building and 10 detached single family residential units on a 1.26 acre site created by the consolidation of 3 contiguous lots consisting of Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 016 -230- 001, 002, and 003. The individual lots were each 0.42 acres in size. Unfortunately, the proposal was not developed due to economic conditions at the time, however, the current landowner has expressed interest in coming forward with a revised proposal in the future that includes residential development.
City of Rocklin August 2025
2021–2029 Housing Element 7-99
Hidden Grove Apartments is also a– A 124-unit multifamily complex located at 5415 South Grove Street that has been developed through consolidation of numerous parcels ranging in size from two at 0.20 acre and others at 0.28, 0.31, 2.25 and 2.26 acres (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 010-270-014, 010-270-013, 010-270-012; 010- 270-010; 010-270-009; and 010-270-015) for a combined total of 5.84 acres.
Sierra College Senior Apartments – Approved in 2022, the Sierra College Senior Apartments project is a 180 - unit affordable senior community (restricted to ages 55+) on 7.3 acres.
Pacific Street Apartments – The Pacific Street Apartments project, approved in 2025, is a 110-unit multifamily community on six (6) parcels totaling approximately 2.9 acres. This project will be 100% affordable, and is a collaborative venture between Community HousingWorks (the developer) and the City of Rocklin, utilizing land primarily owned by the City.
These examples of both large site development and consolidation of small sites show that the City has a history of this type of development and therefore believe that all sites included in the inventory are appropriate to meet the City’s RHNA.
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT CAPACITY
Recent changes in State law have promoted the development of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) by limiting restrictions a local jurisdiction can place on such units. ADUs can be an important source of affordable housing as they can be constructed relatively cheaply and have no associated land costs. ADUs can also provide supplemental income to the homeowner, allowing the elderly to remain in their homes or moderate -income families to afford housing. The City has included Program 7 to promote production of ADU s through educational materials, process streamlining, and pre-approved plans.
Government Code Section 65583.1 states that a city or county may identify sites for ADUs based on the number of ADUs developed in the prior housing element planning period, whether or not the units are permitted by right, the need for ADUs in the community , the resources or incentives available for their development, and any other relevant factors. Based on recent changes in State law reducing the time to review and approve ADU applications, requiring ADUs that meet requirements be allowed by right, eliminating discretionary review for most ADUs, and removing other restrictions on ADUs.
The City reviewed past trends of ADU construction from January 2018 through December 2020 to determine an annual average of 3.25 ADUs per year. Based off the annual average and the addition of P rogram 7 which promotes the development of ADUs, the City assumed an average of 5 ADUs per year which is a projected 40 ADUs for the 2021-2029 timeframe. Although the 5 units per year will be used to accommodate a portion of the City’s RHNA, as shown in Table 7-41, the City believes that based on additional marketing efforts there will be a much higher ADU production rate, as discussed in Appendix B. Although the City assumes a higher production, no additional units beyond the 40 ADUs will be used to meet the 2021 – 2029 RHNA.
In order to determine assumptions on ADU Affordability the City has inquired with landowners of most recent ADU applications and discovered that the vast majority are being constructed to accommodate extended family with little or in most cases no rent being charged. Unlike larger metropolitan areas, the impetus driving ADU development in Rocklin does not seem to be for income. Therefore, the City has assumed that of the total 40 ADUs that are projected to be built during the projection period, 30 are estimated to lower- income households, 10 to moderate-income households, and 0 to above-moderate income households (Table 7-40).

MEETING THE RHNA
Table 7 -41 compares the City of Rocklin’s RHNA to the site inventory capacity. This capacity is based on implementation of Program 10 which commits the City to rezoning 159. 91 acres to accommodate the lower income housing need and 77.75 acres to accommodate the moderate -income housing need. Based on the se rezones, projected ADUs, and approved projects anticipated following adoption of the 2021 -2029 Housing Element, the City has estimated a surplus of 301 units available to lower- income households (including extremely low- , very low -, and low -), 239 units available to moderate -income households, and 152 units available to above moderate-income households, a total surplus of 692 units.
Since 2021, the Housing Element’s Site Inventory has been reduced several times. Following the publication of the Housing Element, several development applications were submitted and ultimately approved by the City.
As a result, several market -rate projects, on sites originally designated for “Lower” and “Moderate” RHNA categories in t he Housing Element, were approved. This led to the loss of approximately 32 acres from the RHNA Sites Inventory. Consequently, these properties were no longer eligible for inc lusion in the City’s RHNA capacity during the 2024 GPA/Rezone effort.
As part of the Alternative RHNA Sites projects in 2024 and 2025, staff modified Table 7-42, which provides the characteristics of the available sites to accommodate the lower income RHNA, Table 7 -43, which lists sites to accommodate the moderate income RHNA and Table 7-44, which includes capacity that will accommodate the City’s above moderate RHNA. Tables 7 -42 and 7-43 list the current zoning and General Plan Designation and the proposed changes per Program 10. The minimum density to meet the lower income RHNA will be 24 units per acre. Assumed density (realistic capacity) for the lower income RHNA is 30 units per acre. The Mixed Use land use designation allows up to 40 dwelling units per acre and there is no cap on density for sites designated as High Density Residential. Mixed use sites assume a realistic capacity of 12 units per acre.
Based on these factors, approval of the Alternative RHNA Sites from 2024 and 2025 would result in a unit surplus of 690 units for the “Lower” category and 863 units for the “Moderate” category. The “Above Moderate” category remains at a surplus of 1,394 units. Together, these combine to a total of capacity of 9,089 units; a surplus of 2,947 units beyond the 5,661 units identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element.
