AFFH is key to Housing Element Certification

— San Gabriel
— Sacramento
• Housing Element Adopted not HCD Certified (many examples) — SCAG (HE due 1o/i5/2i): 99 adopted HE --> ~ certified — SACOG (HE due 5/i5/2i): 26 adopted HE --> i~ certified SCAG =Southern California Association of Governments SACOG =Sacramento Area Council of Governments ,s

Example AFFH Analysis /Strategies
Displacement of residents • Changing labor market,
insufficient income
• Loss of small businesses
• Rising rents/cost of living
• Redevelopment
• Lack of ELI and VLI
housing choices
• Update Affordable Housing
Ordinance to require
deeper affordability
• Explore funding for legal
assistance for tenants
facing illegal evictions
• Continue to support tenant
and landlord education and
dispute resolution
Discussion
• What key Housin Issues you are hearing from your constituents? • How do we increase access to opportunity near housing? • Do any potential solutions resonate with you?
— Update City Affordable Housing Ordinance to require deeper affordability? — Anti-displacement/Relocation Assistance Policy?
— Promote ADU production?

RE: PUBLIC COMMENT —APRIL 19, 2022,101NT CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING; AGENDA ITEM#: 22-260: STUDY SESSION: HOUSING ELEMENT UPDATE Dear Mayor Gillmor, Councilmembers and Members of the Planning Commission:
M y name is David Vierra and my family and I own property located at 2050 Lafayette Street in Santa Clara. Our family also owns several contiguous parcels surrounding 2050 Lafayette Street which total approximately 3.0- acres.
As the staff presents an update this evening on the status of the Housing Element update to the Santa Clara General Plan, I would appreciate a response from the staff to the following questions regarding the Housing Element update:
• Are you still in the process of identifying new housing sites to be included in the Site Inventory of your Housing Element update?
• In Action #7 of your Housing Plan, you claim that the city will be able to "accommodate its RHNA of 4,093 units" and meet your "Quantified Objectives" in Section #8.12 of the 2015-2023 Housing Element planning period. Is that currently still your understanding? • Are legal non-conforming housing units counted in the Housing Element update or elsewhere in your housing inventory or Site Inventory?
• if they are not counted in your housing/sites inventory, would the loss of legal non-conforming housing units to conforming-use redevelopment not impact this Housing Element since those units are not counted and/or factored into your ability to meet your RHNA goals?
My family and I greatly appreciate and respect the challenging job that you all have in planning for the current and future needs of the City of Santa Clara.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or if I can be of any assistance.
Regards,
a
