1-Description/Analysis
2-2022 Housing Production Summary
3-2022 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Table B and Table D) Description/Analysis
A summary of progress made in overall housing production and Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) production over time can be found in Attachment 2-2022 Housing Production Summary. The 2022 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Table B and Table D) can be found in Attachment 3.
The 2022 housing production data shows that:
· There was a 33% decrease in overall housing production from 2021 to 2022, with 2,246 total units produced in 2022. This is approximately 40% of the 5,698 units that need to be built annually to meet the RHNA of 45,580 units over the eight-year planning period. Figure 1 in Attachment 2 shows total housing production in 2022 in comparison to past years. · In 2022, the city produced 1,267 units of low- and very low-income units including non-deed restricted units. This is 32 units more than 2021 and 56% of the total units produced in 2022.
As shown in Figure 2 of Attachment 2, the City was close to meeting annual target production
File ID: 2023-00338 4/11/2023 Discussion Item 2.
levels for very low, low, and moderate income housing in 2022. · Above moderate housing production decreased by 80% in 2022 with only 214 units produced.
This can be attributed to greater production of above moderate income housing from 2016 through 2021, higher mortgage interest rates, and a 12% increase in Area Median Income in 2021.
· ADU production increased 32% from 2021 (170 units) to 2022 (224 units). This is a less acute increase compared to the 170% increase seen in 2021, however planning applications for ADUs are continuing to steadily increase with a 50% increase in 2022.
The City has committed to implementing 49 programs over the course of the 8-year planning period.
To-date, the following programs have been completed:
· H7. Develop a Web-based Land Inventory
· H11. Prohousing Designation
· H4. ADU Toolkit
· H6. Permit-Ready ADU Plans
· H14. Article 34 Ballot Measure
In addition to these completed implementation programs, the City has made significant progress on the following programs:
· H1. Review Mixed Income Housing Ordinance
· H2. Housing Development Toolkit
· H3. Establish New Sources of Funding for Affordable Housing · H9. Facilitate Appropriate Development through Specific Plans and Commercial Corridor Action Plans
· H10. Targeted Infill Infrastructure Strategies
· H13. Homeless Plan

Background
Income Categorization Methodology
Units that are not deed-restricted are categorized using State Income Limits, unit size, and cost per square foot by zip code. State Income Limits are used to calculate maximum rents and sale prices for the different income categories for a household of three. Affordability is estimated by multiplying unit size and cost per square foot by zip code.

In 2022, a new Affordable Housing Project Fund was
created by redirecting unobligated funds that were
previously identified to support the Comprehensive
Siting Plan. The total amount of money transferred to
the new fund was $20,526,213. This fund was used to
commit funding in support of six unique projects,
totaling 659 new construction extremely-low to low-
income units and, 729 to 759 new construction and
repair.
The Sacramento Public Finance Authority has initiated
the process to expand the existing Stadium Railyards
Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) in the Railyards to include all of the Railyards with a final
approval anticipated by Fall 2023. Work on a Stockton
Blvd EIFD is also underway with initial steps towards
formation anticipated in 2023.
On March 9, 2023 the City applied for $2.5 million in

H7. Develop a
Web-based
Land Inventory
The City shall develop and maintain a web-based inventory of housing element sites that is updated monthly to identify sites appropriate for housing and provide an overlay of the State’s High Opportunity Areas as defined by the State’s Housing Departments such as the Treasurer or Department of Housing and Community Development. The inventory will also track remaining capacity to meet the RHNA in compliance with no-net loss requirements to maintain adequate capacity for lower- and moderate-income housing throughout the Housing Element
Planning Period. The inventory will also highlight surplus City- owned sites and other public lands that would be appropriate for affordable housing.
Develop web-
based sites

updates.
CDD; OIED Complete (February 2022). City developed an online web-based land inventory that was released publicly in
February 2022. The web map includes the adopted
housing element sites inventory layer and will be
updated to identify sites as “available” or “not
available”. This layer will also be used to update a
summary dashboard that identifies the amount of
capacity remaining in each income category. The web-
based land inventory also includes sites identified by
public agencies that may be suitable for future housing development. These agencies currently include the City
of Sacramento, Redevelopment Agency of the City of
Sacramento (RASA), Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Agency, and Sacramento Regional
Transit.
H8. Revisions
to Parking
Requirements
The City shall consider further eliminating City-mandated parking minimums and explore instituting parking maximums along transit corridors. Analysis, community outreach, and coordination with the City’s Parking Services Division will be initiated in 2021.

H10. Targeted
Infill
Infrastructure
Strategies
The City shall leverage available State and federal funding sources to conduct infrastructure analyses and targeted studies to understand existing capacity and conditions in infill areas and along commercial corridors of the City that are being prioritized for inclusive economic and community development. The City shall identify area-specific infrastructure improvements and prepare local area finance plans as feasible, to lower construction costs and catalyze development in targeted areas. These finance plans will be prioritized in areas that have been historically underserved and are identified in the Housing Element land inventory to provide opportunities for investments that lead to more equitable quality of life throughout the City. The City was awarded $750,000 in 2021 from the California Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD’s) Local Early Application Planning (LEAP) grant program to conduct
stormwater drainage basin modeling for priority infill areas and housing element site inventory locations. This infrastructure study will be completed by the end 2023.

Because of efficiencies with the consultant and staff
work on the LEAP grant contract, additional drainage
basins were included for stormwater modeling. The
work is estimated to be complete by the end of
October 2023.
In the Fall of 2022, the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments’ (SACOG) launched the 2022 Green
Means Go grant program to provide underground
infrastructure funding for priority infill housing
development areas (Green Zones). In October 2022,
awarded $2 million to a joint City/County request to
improve infrastructure for the San Juan Motel
affordable housing site located on Stockton Blvd. In
October 2022, the City applied for an additional $19
million worth of grant funding through the 2022 Green
Mean Go grant program. On March 16, 2023 the
SACOG Board awarded the City with over $13 million in
funding for the applied projects, including significant infrastructure projects in the River District and along Del Paso Blvd.

restrictions will expire within the following 36 months. SHRA will coordinate with qualified entities upon initial noticing and pursue and support applications for funding. To maximize tenant protections, SHRA will offer coordination assistance – developer outreach for owners planning to sell and tenant education for owners planning to allow their restrictions to expire. In addition, the City will ensure compliance with the “no net loss” provisions of the adopted Housing Authority Repositioning Strategy, ensuring that, during rehabilitation and revitalization of public housing properties, there is no net loss of units affordable to extremely low-income families.

Program
The City shall continue to implement the citywide Rental Housing Inspection Program (RHIP) where building inspectors inspect rental properties for interior and exterior to ensure compliance with building codes and safe, sanitary and
habitable conditions and issue corrective notices. The City shall track and report annually on the number of units
inspected, the number of violations, and the actions taken on those violations in order to ensure the effectiveness of the program. The City shall work with community-based
organizations to provide culturally competent education to both tenants and landlords to better understand the program.

CDD The Rental Housing Inspection Program, entering its 14th year, continues to inspect newly registered rental
properties and perform random audit inspections of
existing, self-certified rental properties. 2,975 rental units were inspected in 2022. 1,716 units were found to have
violations. Nine units were referred to Housing and
Dangerous Buildings due to continuing violations.
If violations are discovered, the inspector provides a list of the items that need to be correct prior to a 30-day
reinspection. Properties that are not brought up to code within the timeframes prescribed by the ordinance are
transferred to our Housing and Dangerous Buildings
division for enforcement. Of the nine cases that were
referred in 2022, three have been resolved. The remaining six are ongoing. Additional information on the program
can be found on the City’s website at the following link:
