This chapter of the Housing Element contains the goals, policies, implementation programs, and quantified objectives for the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. The focus of the goals, policies, and programs in this Housing Element is to meet the housing needs of all income groups while preserving and enhancing existing neighborhoods, creating standards for high quality housing, removing impediments to housing growth, and reducing living expenses that are indirectly related to housing, such as transportation costs and energy costs.

This Housing Element includes eight goal statements. Under each goal statement, the element sets out policies that guide the City toward reaching its goals. Implementation programs are listed at the end of each goal section and describe the proposed action, the City departments with primary responsibility for carrying out the program, the timeframe for accomplishing the program, and the program objectives.

The following definitions describe the nature of the statements of goals, policies, implementation programs, and quantified objectives as they are used in the Housing Element Policy Document:
⚫ Goal: Ultimate purpose of an effort stated in a way that is general in nature and immeasurable. ⚫ Policy: Specific statement guiding action and implying clear commitment. ⚫ Implementation Program: An action, procedure, program, or technique that carries out policy.

Implementation programs also specify primary responsibility for carrying out the action and an estimated timeframe for its accomplishment. The timeframe indicates the calendar year in which the activity is scheduled to be completed. These timeframes are general guidelines and may be adjusted based on City staffing and budgetary considerations. ⚫ Quantified Objective: The number of housing units that the City is targeting for construction, conservation, or rehabilitation during the time frame of the Housing Element based on anticipated market conditions and available resources.

Quantified Objectives
One of the requirements of State law (California Government Code Section 65583[b]) is that the Housing Element contain quantified objectives for the maintenance, preservation, improvement, and development of housing. State law recognizes that the total housing needs identified by a community may exceed available resources and the community’s ability to satisfy this need. Under these circumstances, the quantified objectives need not be identical to the total housing needs.

The quantified objectives shown in Table 9-1 represent targets. They are estimates based on experience, anticipated funding levels, and housing market conditions. The quantified objectives are not designed to be minimum requirements.

The quantified objectives are based largely upon implementation programs that have measurable outcomes. However, the Housing Element contains several policies and implementation programs that reduce barriers and create opportunities for affordable housing. These policies and programs are essential to meeting the City’s housing needs, but are more qualitative and difficult to quantify.

You can't even drive on main streets because of congestion. I have lived here since 1969 and have considered moving because of the congestion. I love Union City and would hate to move. I've been a Realtor for 30 years. I know the area's and still chose to live in Union City because of its beauty, small town feel and open spaces or should I say, what is left of it. Don't build more homes. 3/19/2022 10:14 AM

20 I see a lot of new housing going up in Fremont/Newark but almost none when I'm in Union City.

With the city always struggling with finances, I would think encouraging new housing would be a top priority to grow our community.

income since my husband and I work, but I want to be able to get help to navigate the process for a first time buyer. I don't want to leave UC!
133 Efforts to support accessibility to housing for ALL Union City residents, regardless of race, religion, etc. can help to maintain the diversity of the city. 3/10/2022 9:14 AM
134 The infrastructure can't handle this flood of people living in Single Family zoned residences.

Too many cars, etc. etc.
3/10/2022 7:08 AM
135 When we plan and develop more housing projects, we need to consider the effects of climate change, like sea level rising. Part of our city has already in flood zone if sea level rises to certain levels. We must plan ahead to protect the people and properties. 3/10/2022 6:36 AM
136 Continue the program for new affordable housing, rent control and down payment assistance for new home buyers.

139 I heard most of the new home Union City plans to build are high price apartments?! If that is the case, why bother to build that many? Inflation nowadays are horrible, it is hard to maintain a quality life. Instead of building expensive high-rise apartments, I would rather Union City preserves more nature. So at least, although cannot afford my own place, I can still have some good scenary to enjoy while living in Union City.

140 There is adequate housing in Union City. Keeping open spaces or prioritizing making more parks would be more beneficial.

3/9/2022 6:47 PM
156 Homelessness is a delicate subject, but I don't want to see tent cities appearing in Union City.

Nor do I like the trash and litter they leave behind. Tax dollars clean it up, but there's not requirement for them to clean up behind themselves.....don't agree with that model. 3/9/2022 6:40 PM
157 Stop collect more fees, keep raising taxes to make Union City unaffordable. Government doesn’t have money to give to anyone without first taking more from middle class home owners. Phoenix property tax is roughly .62% Stop progressing into communism!! Government can NOT give housing to everyone!! Big fat Marxist lie!! 3/9/2022 6:38 PM

190 Tenant is Discrimination 2/25/2022 1:40 PM
191 We should probably up-zone, but it should be accompanied by dedicating more open spaces (e.g., parks/playgrounds) near new developments.
2/25/2022 1:39 PM
192 no 2/25/2022 1:31 PM
193 Why not construct dormitory style housing for poor along BART corridor, or mobile home parks.

It makes little sense for each urban city to be treated as separate unit instead of putting Fremont, Newark, Union City together as one, especially because Union City has no high-rise developments [high rises reduce land cost per unit and are better usage of land than single family units].
2/25/2022 1:30 PM
194 Stop robbing the Average family to pay for your pet projects, Union City families are all hurting with the Massive energy Costs and inflation!!! YOU HAVE MADE THIS WORSE, NOW WE MUST STAY COLD IN THE WINTER, because you are adding Bogus taxes to energy and if your car breaks down to the rental of a car in Union City. 2/25/2022 1:22 PM
195 Concern about infrastructure support for increased population, ie. Traffic, water, utilities, etc. 2/25/2022 1:09 PM 196 We desperately need more housing in the Bay Area. We all need to sacrifice a bit to help solve this California-wide housing crisis. Converting unused business retail space into residential spaces supporting Townhomes, Multi-family residences, Apartment complexes, and so forth is one option. Helping home owners plan additions like Governor Newsom suggests is another good use of energy and resources. Lastly if we choose to be more drastic we may consider limiting investment home-buying/renting in our communities. We as current and future residents should not be competing with domestic/foreign investors and investment companies that will simply rent out properties at a huge profit.
2/25/2022 1:09 PM
197 Increase capacity. 2/25/2022 12:59 PM
198 no 2/22/2022 11:54 AM
199 There is insufficient housing supply relative to demand; the city should permit and support development and construction of more housing in general, especially denser developments near the BART station.
2/18/2022 4:12 PM
200 Need more affordable housing 2/15/2022 3:38 PM
201 How is UC prioritizing/facilitating production of new units? What are the concrete steps taken by city to fully embrace State Housing Bills such as SB9 and SB10? 2/11/2022 3:49 PM
202 Union City should allow to add/built additional rooms without increasing taxes. 2/11/2022 11:17 AM 203 Do not overturn historical resident democratically generated decisions to accommodate new construction. Consider a new committee of long term residents 40 + years when major decisions are pending, they have lived the city's growth and possess rare insights into what works or not.
2/10/2022 11:34 PM
204 Developments by public transit are a great idea that would increase property values and housing stock
2/10/2022 5:35 PM
205 Union City residents should be prioritized when buying or renting a home in the area. A lot of residents from other areas are displacing locals.

“Have not sought housing in last 10 years.”
2/9/2022 8:16 PM
210 We need population growth which is a key driver to economic growth. We need to increase homeownership among Millennials and create conditions encouraging young families to move to UC to reverse the decline in school enrollment.

place of well being where you want to raise children in a safe clean community… everyone deserves this… it takes work by home owners & renters & the City. 212 permits. mobile homes require a lot more than standard homes. mobile homes are purchased by those that cannot buy standard homes.
2/9/2022 1:14 PM
213 No 2/9/2022 1:12 PM
214 When my parents wanted to add onto their house, the City Planner told them the would not be able to and said it had to do with a parking issue. My parents neighbor has 10 cars for a family of three, some of which are parked on the lawn - why is that okay and adding onto the house my parents own not allowed? Union City needs to stop using stupid reasons to deny home expansions. People are stuck living in overcrowded situations and I don't see the City doing anything about it. Stop punishing residents who are trying to do things the right way. Your residents are suffering, make life easier on them.
2/9/2022 10:55 AM
215 no 2/9/2022 10:40 AM
216 I would like to see additional single-family home development in addition to new schools 2/9/2022 9:46 AM 217 I see that our local cities do almost nothing to help with affordable housing. I know many cities charge builders fees to support affordable housing, but those fees end up supplementing rental credits or similar ideas. That's a very temporary fix. And no matter what our citizens say, I don't think you'll do anything to really help build affordable housing. I know it's not an easy problem to fix, but what's happening isn't helping. By the way, I'm a real estate agent and property manager, and in the past 30 years of my career, not much changes. It's been a topic since the 1980's.
2/9/2022 9:39 AM
218 Need more affordable housing for people making $200,000 & up. 2/9/2022 9:18 AM 219 Shorter wait time for affordable housing 2/9/2022 4:18 AM 220 We do not want see AB5 law being freely used on single family home areas in Union City, there should be a local ordinance to restrict tearing down of existing homes to build multi units on one dwelling. New developments could be used for new residents who want to move in. Our families invested their hard earned money to be a resident in UC for the last 30 years. We would like to preserve our union City heritage as well. This would make Union City a special city as it has been for us thus far.
2/8/2022 11:51 PM
221 it is shameful to live in a city that touts some of the highest home sale prices 2/8/2022 10:22 PM 222 There should be also amended criteria. My income fell short, but I had a hefty savings, Great credit score and felt worthy to purchase on my own without a cosigner 2/8/2022 8:03 PM
223 Young families cannot afford to live here. It would be helpful for middle class young families to have affordable homes with an option rent to own. Not enough options available. There should be a law about how much property owners and landlords can charge for rent. It’s ridiculous! 2/8/2022 8:03 PM
224 Many older homes are built on large lots. Promote affordable ways for these home owners to build ADU. Example, decrease building permits fees, provide assistance programs for construction of ADU, and/or tax deductions, etc.
2/8/2022 7:49 PM
225 Stop using the Agenda 21 for a housing guide. This is the way socialism uses as a way to control the people
2/8/2022 6:57 PM
226 Unaffordable, price has gone up so so much 2/8/2022 6:49 PM 227 Need community based housing for low income and homeless. 2/8/2022 6:13 PM 228 Housing is absolutely unaffordable even for mid income households. This creates instability, greater risk for gendered violence, and overall lack of wellbeing for huge swathes of people. 2/8/2022 5:11 PM
229 notification to residents of any proposed new housing and /or storage units & types with locations very early in the early approval & planning stages with allowance for resident input and voting by those existing residents most impacted by such housing strategies with incorporation of pre determined agreed solutions by both city and residents to offset any negative impacts of such.
2/8/2022 5:06 PM
230 Stop building houses. People need to spread across the state and stop the over population problem here.

231 The qualifications for assistance programs are too low. I make too much but can’t afford going rate. That doesn’t make sense.
2/8/2022 4:57 PM
232 More housing is needed but consider also that we should have the transportation infrastructure (such as more public transit) to support a growing population and higher density. Consider adding more parks and community spaces to accommodate the higher population, too. 2/8/2022 4:57 PM
233 Rent control discourages investors from owning rental property. Know an investor who sold multiple properties when rent control started in union city. 2/8/2022 4:55 PM
234 1) traffic patterns and parking issues caused by dense and/or poor planning in housing developments; 2) lack of public transportation & expectations that it will be used if provided (hint--it won't--Californians are too "married" to their cars)--so once again we see the importance of planning for parking spaces and roadways. This MUST be an integral part of every housing plan.

2 Están muy caras las casas para poder comprar una casa y que tengan programas para poder ampliar la casa o permiso y no salga caro para ampliar la casa de enfrente 3/16/2022 5:22 AM
3 Si no tienes historial crediticio tampoco puedes rentar una casa. 3/11/2022 3:25 PM 4 En la pregunta 6 el cuestionario no detecta ninguna respuesta. Mi comentario sería que la renta de vivienda es muy cara y comprar casa es casi imposible por los precios tan altos. Las personas de fuera del área llegaron a Union City a desplazar a las personas que tenían o tienen aqui toda su vida. Los sueldos aqui no son lo suficientemente buenos como para poder pagar una renta y mucho menos para poder comprar casa. Debería de dársele prioridad para comprar y rentar a las personas que ya viven aquí. Los sueldos deberían de ser mejores y los precios de las casas deberían tener un control. Yo se que entre más alto el precio más impuestos recibe el gobierno, pero a las clase media y la clase baja nos están obligando a buscar vivienda en otro lugar, siendo que tenemos toda una vida aquí. 2/10/2022 9:56 PM

The law provided for the planning, development, redesign, clearance, reconstruction, or rehabilitation, or any combination of these, and the provision of public and private improvements as may be appropriate or necessary in the interest of the general welfare by the Agency. Redevelopment law required an Agency to set aside 20 percent of all tax increment dollars generated from each redevelopment project area for increasing and improving the community’s supply of affordable housing. The City of Union City’s Redevelopment Agency was dissolved as of February 1, 2012. The City of Union City acts as the Housing Successor Agency of the Former Redevelopment Agency. As the Housing Successor, the City oversees bond proceeds of the former Redevelopment Agency.

Redlining: A discriminatory practice in which services or goods by federal government agencies were denied or restricted in certain areas of a community, often based on race or ethnicity.

Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP): The Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) is based on State of California projections of population growth and housing unit demand and assigns a share of the region’s future housing need to each jurisdiction in California. These housing need numbers serve as the basis for the update of the Housing Element in each California city and county.

Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA): Each city and county in the Regional Housing Needs Plan receives a Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of a total number of housing units that it must plan through their General Plan Housing Elements within a specified time period (June 30, 2022 – December 31, 2030for this Housing Element). Allocations are also distributed within four economic income categories; these four categories must add up to the total overall number a jurisdiction is allocated.

Site Description
This site is made up of four adjacent parcels. The largest parcel, located on the corner of Union City Boulevard and Smith Street, was built in 1863 and is currently used as an office building (Farmers Insurance and Go Cab company). Based on a historic resource survey conducted in preparation of the historic overlay zone, the building is not considered a historic building/contributor of substantial value due to the extent of renovations/remodels over the years. About half of the parcel is vacant, as are the three adjacent parcels that make up the site. This site was redesignated in the General Plan from Commercial to Village Mixed Use Commercial and the site would be rezoned for General Plan consistency in conjunction with the Housing Element Update. The site could be redeveloped as residential mixed-use similar to the nearby Sugar Mill development and Alvarado Square just to the north of Union City Boulevard. The owners of the site are related family members and would need to be consolidated.

I. BACKGROUND & PROPOSAL
A. Proposal
This item is intended to provide the Planning Commission with an overview of the statemandated Housing Element requirements and summarize the components of the Draft Housing Element. Staff is seeking feedback from the Planning Commission and a recommendation to the City Council, prior to submitting the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element to HCD for the state mandated review. The Draft Housing Element is attached to this staff report (Attachment 1). In addition, staff is seeking feedback on the proposed General Plan and Zoning Ordinance amendments related to the Housing Element adoption and implementation.

B. Background
The Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements that must be included in Union City’s General Plan. This element evaluates housing needs and issues in the City, and contains goals, policies, objectives, and implementation programs that the City uses to guide actions related to housing. State law mandates that local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. Unlike other mandatory General Plan elements, the Housing Element is required to be updated every eight years and must be reviewed and certified by HCD.

The City’s existing 2015-2023 Housing Element was adopted in January 2015. On July 27, 2021, the Council adopted Resolution 5811-2021 authorizing the City Manager to enter into a professional services agreement with Ascent Environmental, Inc. (“Ascent”) for preparation of the Housing Element update and update to the General Plan Safety Element. City staff and Ascent have been preparing the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element for the current cycle (the sixth cycle) since that time. This effort has included two virtual workshops, an online community survey, outreach at the local Farmer’s Market, and creating a dedicated Housing Element webpage on the City’s website where community members can find up to date information on the process, contact information for staff, and review the Draft Housing Element. City staff has also participated in regional collaborative efforts to assess barriers to fair housing choice through an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The Draft Housing Element was released for public review on June 13, 2022, and the public comment period will close on July 13, 2022.

Following feedback from the community, Planning Commission, and City Council, the Draft Housing Element will be updated accordingly and submitted to HCD in late July/early August 2022 for their initial review. Per state law, the review period for the Draft Housing Element is 90 days. HCD will provide comments to the City regarding the City Council/RSA Agenda 693 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 3
draft, including any questions or required revisions. The City will update the draft and may need to resubmit to HCD depending on the level of comments provided. HCD has 60 days to complete any subsequent reviews. The final draft, along with the related General Plan and Zoning amendments, will be brought back to the Planning Commission and City Council for final adoption after the HCD review process has concluded. The deadline for adoption of the Housing Element and required rezoning is January 31, 2023.

II. PROJECT ANALYSIS
A. Housing Element Components
The Draft Housing Element consists of nine chapters:
• Chapter 1: Introduction. Introduction to the Housing Element, description of state housing element law, General Plan consistency, and a summary of community participation.
• Chapter 2: Existing Needs Assessment. 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. 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. Provides an analysis of fair housing issues and practices in Union City, 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: Program Resources. Summarizes staff resources and funding available to support City housing programs.
• Chapter 6: Potential Housing Constraints. Analyzes potential constraints on the production, maintenance, or improvement of housing, including governmental constraints like land use controls, permits and processing procedures, fees, and City Council/RSA Agenda 694 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 4
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: Opportunities for Energy Conservation. Analyzes opportunities for energy conservation in residential development including green building and energy-efficiency requirements, and energy conservation programs. • Chapter 8: Evaluation of Previous (2015-2023) Housing Element. Summarizes the City’s accomplishments during the previous Housing Element planning period and evaluates each of the previous programs.
• Chapter 9: Goals, Policies and Programs. Establishes goals, policies, and implementation programs that will provide direction to help the City meet its housing goals.

B. Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA)
The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is part of a statewide statutory mandate for every city and county in California to address a portion of the projected statewide housing need. Every region in the state is given a Regional Housing Needs Determination (RHND) from HCD, which is the number of housing units the region must plan for.

State law mandates that the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) develop and approve a Regional Housing Needs Plan (RHNP) that contains a RHNA methodology for allocating these units by income category to each city and county in the region. The total allocation is broken down into four income categories: above moderate, moderate, low, and very low-income. The lower two income categories (“Low Income” and “Very Low Income”) must be accommodated on sites zoned for higher density residential development.

On December 16, 2021, the ABAG Executive Board adopted the Final Regional Housing Needs Allocation Plan: San Francisco Bay Area, 2023 – 2031. The plan allocates 2,728 housing units to Union City. Table 1 shows the City’s final RHNA by household income category for the 2023 – 2031 planning period. The RHNA for the sixth cycle is 137 percent larger than the fifth cycle RHNA of 1,152 units. This percentage increase was fairly consistent with the typical percentage increases throughout the state.

Through the Housing Element, the City must demonstrate that there are adequate sites with the appropriate zoning in place to accommodate its RHNA, but it does not control when or how much housing is built. The Sites Inventory (Chapter 3) outlines how the number of units listed above will be planned for in the city. New housing construction is based on a variety of economic factors, such as demand, available financing, land availability, and construction costs, and is ultimately driven by private property owners.

The Housing Element is strictly a planning document, which does not require the City or others to construct housing. The Housing Element determines whether or not the City has sufficient land zoned for residential development to accommodate its RHNA assigned by ABAG (including current and projected housing needs for households of all income groups and special needs housing). Through implementation of the policies and programs identified in the Housing Element, the City can meet its allocation and provide a variety of housing types that address the needs of existing and future city residents.

C. Sites Inventory
The residential land sites inventory 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)). The phrase “land suitable for residential development” in Government Code Section 65583(a) (3) includes all of the following:
• Vacant sites zoned for residential use;
• Vacant sites zoned for nonresidential use that allow residential development; • Residentially zoned sites that are capable of being developed at a higher density; and
• Sites zoned for nonresidential use that can be redeveloped for, and as necessary, rezoned for, residential use.

City Council/RSA Agenda 696 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 6
The city is mostly built out, making it impossible to accommodate the RHNA through vacant sites zoned for residential use alone. In the previous cycle, the City was required to rezone land to accommodate the RHNA. The City also increased the amount of land zoned for housing through the 2040 General Plan update, and anticipates additional sites through the Station District Specific Plan process currently underway. However, to meet the sixth cycle RHNA and also include a 30 percent buffer to be sure that there is no net loss of available affordable units (see No Net Loss section below), additional housing opportunity sites are required.

The Draft Housing Element sites are listed below in Table 2 and are mapped in Figure 3.

Figure 3 also includes a few future opportunity sites which have potential to develop housing but are unlikely to do so in the near-term based on several factors. For more information regarding future opportunity sites, see Table 3-7 of the Draft Housing Element.

Many of the sites in the existing (2015-2023) Housing Element have already been constructed or are in process of being developed. Sites that have been developed include Union Flats, Sugar Mill, Soares Ranch, and the 4500 Cabello subdivision. In addition, many other sites are approved and in process (see Table 3-2 of the Sites Inventory chapter in Attachment 1). Examples include: Seven Hills Estates, Lazuli Landing, Horner Street Mixed Use, and Turk Island. Lastly, there are some residential projects that were not included in the current Housing Element that were approved in the last year including the Station East Residential Mixed Use Project and the Dyer Meteor Townhome project.

In total, 1,571 units are included in the approved residential projects category. This illustrates how many housing inventory and opportunity sites identified by the City in have been successfully developed. In order to meet the remaining RHNA and account for a buffer, 2,406 units are included in the sites inventory. In addition, 66 accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are anticipated to be constructed during the planning period. This number is a conservative projection based on prior ADU development in the city.

In total, the capacity identified in the Draft Housing Element is 4,043 units (see Table 3-9 of the Sites Inventory chapter in Attachment 1). Of these units:
• 39 percent are approved projects;
• 43 percent are infill and vacant sites located in the Station District; • 16 percent require a General Plan or Zoning Ordinance amendment; • 1.5 percent are ADUs; and
• Less than 1 percent are located on vacant parcels (outside of the Station District).

2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 11
Use of Nonvacant Sites
Because Union City, like the region, is mostly built out, a large portion of new residential development in the city occurs on nonvacant sites that have existing uses. For the purposes of the Draft Housing Element, these sites are referred to as “underutilized.” Underutilized sites are nonvacant sites that 1) accommodate residential uses, are zoned to allow residential development and are capable of being developed at a higher density, or 2) accommodate nonresidential uses and are zoned and designated for residential or (or mixed uses with a residential component), or where the General Plan and/or Zoning designations are proposed to be updated to allow for either residential uses or an increase in residential density for consistency with the densities proposed in the Draft Housing Element.

The City’s Draft Housing Element is relying on these sites to accommodate more than 50 percent of the lower-income RHNA, which means to comply with Government Code Section 65583.2(g)(2), the Housing Element must include evidence that the existing use on each nonvacant site in the inventory does not create an impediment to development during the planning period.

To determine whether a nonvacant site should be included in the inventory, staff and the project consultant conducted a thorough analysis, which took into consideration a variety of factors including site conditions, staff knowledge of existing uses, property owner interest, and nearby development activity. Through that process, the team produced a refined list of potential sites for inclusion in the sites inventory.

No-Net Loss
As defined by HCD, the purpose of Government Code Section 65863 (No Net Loss Law), is to “ensure development opportunities remain available throughout the planning period [of the Housing Element cycle] to accommodate a jurisdiction’s regional housing need allocation (RHNA), especially for lower- and moderate- income households.” No Net Loss Law, and related housing legislation, include provisions requiring jurisdictions to maintain adequate RHNA capacity. When a site identified in the Housing Element to accommodate the lower-income portion of the RHNA is developed for a higher-income group, the locality must either (1) demonstrate that the land inventory still contains adequate capacity to meet the remaining RHNA, or (2) identify and rezone, if necessary, an adequate substitute site.

In practice, these provisions mean that if there is insufficient remaining capacity and a jurisdiction approves a project on a site included in the Sites Inventory with fewer than the number of lower-income units identified, the jurisdiction is required to identify City Council/RSA Agenda 702 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 12
additional sites to continue to accommodate the RHNA, versus the shortfall from what was identified for that site. If, for example, a site identified in the inventory listed as including 100 lower income units and 100 market rate units is developed as entirely market-rate units, the City will be required to identify new sites to accommodate the lower-income units that were included in the sites inventory (within 180 days), unless there is enough remaining capacity in the other inventory sites. This demonstrates why a unit buffer is accounted for in the Draft Housing Element.

D. Rezone Sites and Zoning Ordinance Amendments
Rezone Sites
While some opportunity sites already have appropriate zoning and General Plan designations to allow for housing, multiple sites will be rezoned either through the Station District Specific Plan process or in conjunction with the Housing Element update to allow for the type and number of housing units estimated in the sites inventory. Each rezone site listed in the inventory is underutilized meaning the site is developed with an existing use (or uses). In total, 16 percent of the housing unit capacity in the inventory (located outside of the Station District) is located on sites which require rezoning.

Detailed information for the sites outside of the Station District which are proposed for rezoning are included as Attachment 2. Below is a summary of the largest of these sites that have a realistic capacity of 50 or more units:

1. Whipple and Medallion Drive Site (LM-8), 1800 Whipple Road (55 units, 1.45 acres): This site is an existing retail center located on the corner of Whipple Road and Medallion Drive with a Neighborhood Commercial zoning and Retail Commercial general plan designation. The site contains several existing businesses including a donut shop, dry cleaners, liquor store, convenience store, a few restaurants, and a few hair and nail salons. The site is proposed to be redesignated (i.e., update to General Plan designation) and rezoned to Corridor Mixed-Use (CMU), which would allow stand-alone residential uses up to 45 dwelling units per acre, and residential uses that are vertically integrated with ground floor commercial uses.

2. Whipple/Cemex Site (LM-9), 884-920 Whipple Road (132 units, 5.21 acres): A portion of this site was included in the 2002, 2010, and 2015 Housing Element inventories in the above-moderate income category. The site was redesignated in the 2040 General Plan to Residential 17-30 (dwelling units per acre) and is proposed to be rezoned to RM (Residential Multifamily) 1500 in conjunction with City Council/RSA Agenda 703 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 13
the sixth cycle Housing Element to allow higher densities consistent with the General Plan.

3. Diamond Mine Mini-Storage Site (LM-14), 4400 Horner Street (151 units, 5.93 acres): This site is currently occupied by the Diamond Mine mini-storage facility; however, the site was redesignated from Industrial to Residential 10-17 in the 2040 General Plan. General Plan Policy LU-5.9 allows for up to 20 dwelling units per acre on this site. The site is proposed to be redesignated to Residential 17-30 and rezoned to RM 1500 to allow for higher density residential.

4. Union City Boulevard Site (LM-15, 6.76 acres), 30500-30600 Union City Boulevard (172 units): This site accommodates industrial uses, is surrounded by industrial uses to the west, a new residential mixed-use development to the south, and single-family homes to the east off Granger Avenue. The site is currently home to Jay’s Auto Salvage, a used auto parts store, a print shop, and a mattress store. The site is proposed to be redesignated and rezoned to Village Mixed Use Commercial (VMU), which would allow commercial and residential uses that are vertically integrated with ground floor commercial uses, allowing a range of 17-30 dwelling units per acre.

Pursuant to state law, rezoning must occur within three years of adoption of the Housing Element. However, the objective of staff is to rezone all sites included in the inventory before, or as part of, adoption of the 2023-2031 Housing Element to ensure they are available at the start of the planning period (January 31, 2023).

Zoning Ordinance and General Plan Amendments
In addition to rezoning specific parcels to implement the Housing Element, certain amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and/or General Plan are also required. Some of these amendments must occur prior to, or at the time of, Housing Element adoption.

Others can occur as part of the Housing Element implementation program. The amendments relate to implementation of state law, housing element policies and programs, and clarifying existing text where applicable. Staff is seeking feedback from the Planning Commission regarding these items. The items listed as “prior to or during Housing Element Adoption” are anticipated to return to the Planning Commission in November or December, 2022 along with sites slated for rezoning listed in the sites inventory. Per state law, these amendments and zoning changes are required to be adopted by January 31, 2023 so the City has adequate capacity to meet its RHNA.

City Council/RSA Agenda 704 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 14
Prior to or during Housing Element adoption
• Creating a new Village Mixed-Use Commercial (VMU) zoning district to implement the 2040 General Plan VMU Land Use designation. • Removing the Housing Element (HE) Overlay Zone, which was added to some sites as part of the fifth cycle Housing Element, since it is no longer needed for Housing Element compliance, and it conflicts with maximum density standards allowed under the General Plan.
• Revisions to the commercial districts to remove references to the Historic Alvarado District and Mission Boulevard residential allowance (these areas were designated mixed use in the 2040 General Plan and are being rezoned to mixed use for consistency).
• Various zoning map amendments for consistency with the General Plan. • Updating the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) zoning district to fix an inconsistency regarding the minimum lot size and lot dimension. Evaluating the floor area ratio (FAR) standard for mixed-use projects.

As part of Housing Element implementation
• Special Needs Housing: Several zoning amendments are required to be enacted due to provisions in state law for special needs housing related to emergency shelters, supportive housing, farmworker housing, and “low barrier navigation center” developments. See Policy HE-7.A in the Key Policies and Program section listed below.
• Religious Facility Overlay: In order to provide additional locations for affordable and transitional housing the Draft Housing Element proposes an implementation program to adopt an overlay, or another zoning mechanism, to allow housing on religious facility properties. See Implementation Program HE-2.F, below.

Although this list encompasses all zoning ordinance amendments connected to the Draft Housing Element, additional amendments may be required based on HCD’s review and comments.

E. Point-in-Time (PIT) Count
Starting in 2003, Alameda County Housing and Community Development started conducting a biennial point-in-time (PIT) homeless count. In 2019, a total of 8,022 individuals were experiencing homelessness in Alameda County which was nearly double the number of individuals counted in 2009. Also in 2019, a total of 106 homeless City Council/RSA Agenda 705 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022

persons were counted in Union City, and all were unsheltered. At that time, it represented 1.3 percent of the total population of people experiencing homelessness in the County. The most recent PIT count was completed in February 2022 where 7,135 unsheltered homeless individuals were counted in Alameda County. In Union City, 489 unsheltered homeless persons were counted. The updated count for Union City represents 7 percent of the total unsheltered population in the County. A review of the unsheltered population by location shows that Union City had 69 percent of individuals living in a car/van, compared to a 32 percent in the County. Based on this initial count information, the City is required to address the increase in the homeless population through its Housing Element policies and programs. City staff is currently awaiting additional details regarding household types and additional demographic population information from the 2022 PIT count, which is expected this summer. This information will provide more context for addressing the PIT count through the Housing Element.

F. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Assembly Bill 686 (AB 686), passed in 2018, created new requirements for jurisdictions to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH) and not take any action that is inconsistent with this obligation. AFFH means to take “meaningful actions, in addition to combating discrimination, that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities free from barriers that restrict access to opportunity based on protected characteristics.” The four main components of AFFH include:

1. Address significant disparities in housing needs and in access to opportunity.

2. Replace segregated living patterns with truly integrated and balanced living patterns.

3. Transform racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty into areas of opportunity.

4. Foster and maintain compliance with civil rights and fair housing laws.

As of the sixth cycle, all housing elements must now include an Assessment of Fair Housing and meaningful programs that promote and affirmatively further fair housing opportunities throughout the community for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital status, ancestry, national origin, color, familial status, disability, and other characteristics protected by the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), Government Code Section 65008, and any other state and federal fair housing and planning law. Housing Elements are required to examine the relationship of available City Council/RSA Agenda 706 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 16
sites to areas of high opportunity and include actions to affirmatively further fair housing.

The AFFH requirement is one of the most substantial changes between the fifth and sixth Housing Element cycles. It is also one of the Housing Element components that has been most scrutinized by HCD during their initial reviews of Housing Elements submitted by Southern California jurisdictions over the last two years. Chapter 4 of Attachment 1 outlines fair housing issues in detail in Union City by evaluating various equity factors.

Generally speaking, access to opportunity is well distributed throughout the City and there is no definitive concentrated areas of poverty. The primary fair housing issues identified in the Draft Housing Element include: regional patterns of segregation by income and race, disproportionate housing needs in older neighborhoods in the City, and risk of displacement amidst rising housing costs. In addition, the Crestwood neighborhood, located in the vicinity of Alvarado Boulevard and Dyer Street that includes the area surrounding Contempo Park, is also an area of focus for programs to affirmatively further fair housing choice as this area has the highest concentrations of renters, cost burden, and Housing Voucher participants. Chapter 4 also includes an analysis of the sites inventory to ensure that new lower income units are built in areas of opportunity, and that individuals and households in these locations have fair access to education and economic resources.

G. Key Policies and Programs
Chapter 9 includes policies and implementation programs included in the Draft Housing Element. Some of these policies and implementation programs are currently included in the existing Housing Element, some programs and policies are based on what is included in the existing Housing Element and are proposed to be amended, and others are new.

Key policies and implementation programs are listed below:

1. Policy HE-1.5 (By-right Housing on Prior Housing Element Sites): After January 31, 2026, the City shall allow developments with at least 20 percent affordable lower-income housing units by-right, consistent with objective development and design standards, on lower-income sites counted in previous housing cycles, consistent with Government Code Section 65583.2. (This only applies to Site LM-11 located at Mission and F Street.)

2. Implementation Program HE-1.C (Restoration Site): The City shall facilitate development of a mix of high-density residential and office uses on the Cityowned Restoration Site by issuing a developer request for proposals and City Council/RSA Agenda 707 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 17
partnering with developers on site remediation to maximize development potential of the site. This program is scheduled to occur in FY 25-26.

3. Implementation Program HE-1.D (Marketplace Mixed Use Property Owner Coordination): The City shall work with the property owners within the Marketplace subarea of the Station District on redeveloping the retail centers to includes residential uses, consistent with the vision of the Station District Specific Plan. The City shall facilitate partnerships between property owners and affordable housing developers to find creative ways to meet the City’s inclusionary housing requirements.

4. Implementation Program HE-1.F (Objective Design Standards): Update the City’s multi-family residential, single-family residential, and mixed-use design standards to ensure they are clear and objective. This project is currently underway.

5. Implementation Program HE-1.G (SB35 Procedure): The City shall establish a written procedure to implement streamlined ministerial approval in compliance with Senate Bill 35.

6. Policy HE-2.4 (Financial and Regulatory Incentives): The City shall continue to offer financial and regulatory incentives, such as density bonuses, fee deferrals, reductions, or waivers, where feasible, to reduce the costs and/or to remove impediments to developing affordable housing.

7. Implementation Program HE-2.F (Religious Facility Housing Overlay): AB 1851 (Religious Facility Housing) provides relief in parking requirements when a religious institution partners with a nonprofit organization to provide affordable housing on site. The City shall adopt an overlay or another zoning mechanism that would allow and provide incentives for developing affordable housing on religious facility properties, including transitional housing and emergency shelters.

8. Policy HE-3.2 (No Net Loss of Housing Stock): The City shall ensure that sites being redeveloped for housing do not result in a net reduction in housing unit capacity, consistent with Government Code Section 66300(d).

9. Policy HE-3.4 (Replacement Housing Unit Requirement): The City shall require the replacement of housing units for any new development (residential, mixeduse, or nonresidential) proposed on a site in the Housing Element inventory that meets the following conditions, consistent with the requirements of Government Code section 65915, subdivision (c)(3):

City Council/RSA Agenda 708 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 18
• currently has residential uses or within the past five years has had residential uses that have been vacated or demolished, and • was subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of low or very low-income, or • subject to any other form of rent or price control through a public entity’s valid exercise of its police power, or
• occupied by low or very low-income households

10. Implementation Program HE-7.A (Zoning Ordinance Amendments for Special Needs Housing): The City shall prepare and adopt the following amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to allow housing for special needs groups consistent with state law:
• Allow “low barrier navigation center” developments by right in mixed-use zones and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses, consistent with Government Code Section 65662.
• Allow for the approval of 100 percent affordable developments that include a percentage of supportive housing units, either 25 percent or 12 units, whichever is greater, to be allowed without a conditional use permit or other discretionary review in all zoning districts where multifamily and mixed-use development is permitted, consistent with Government Code Section 65651(a).
• Increase the bed limitation to 50 beds for emergency shelters, establish parking standards for emergency shelters consistent with Government Code 65583, and identify at least one additional zone where emergency shelters are allowed by-right. Ensure the identified zone has capacity to accommodate at least 154 shelter beds.
• Allow employee and farmworker housing consistent with California Health and Safety Code Section 17021.5(b) Section 17021.6.

11. Implementation Program HE-7.E (Safe Parking Program): The City shall continue supporting a safe parking program to provide a temporary and safe place to park overnight for individuals and families living in vehicles, while providing access to basic amenities and services that will help with the transition to permanent housing.

III. CONSISTENCY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
The Housing Element is a mandatory Element of the General Plan. The Housing Element covers a shorter, eight-year, timeframe and is on a separate update schedule established City Council/RSA Agenda 709 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 19
by state law. The overarching Policy in the General Plan which directly connects to the Housing Element is LU-5.1, Adequate and Affordable Housing: The City shall continue to provide opportunities for a variety of housing types at varying densities and affordability levels. Other Housing Element related policies include LU-1.2, Promote Infill and Enhance Neighborhoods, LU-1.3, Strategic Infill Areas, LU-4.2, Encourage Reinvestment, LU-10.3, Coordinate on Regional Growth Plans; ED-4.4, Encourage a Range of Housing; HQL-4.5, Crisis Intervention Services; HQL-6.3, Facilitate the Development of Senior Housing; SA-5.1, Variety of Housing Types, and SA-9.8, Affordable Housing on Mission Boulevard. Additionally, the Housing Element will include a variety of policies and implementation measures, as discussed above, that will address specific programs and initiatives related to housing development.

IV. NOTICING & COMMUNICATION
The City conducted extensive outreach to the community in February and March, 2022, using a variety of approaches. From February 8, 2022 to March 31, 2022, the City distributed a web-based survey to gather information from the community on housing needs and housing policy priorities. The survey included questions related to household demographics, housing conditions, and housing issues and priorities. The survey was provided in English, Spanish, Mandarin, Tagalog, and Hindi. In total, 487 responses were received in five languages. On February 26, 2022, the City conducted outreach at the Old Alvarado Park Farmer’s Market. Dozens of residents offered feedback and staff provided information about the Housing Element update process and answered questions. Virtual workshops were held on February 24 and February 28, 2022 in English and Spanish to describe the current housing environment in the city and present information about the project.

Consistent with state law, a public notice for the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element and the July 7, 2022 Planning Commission meeting was published in the Tri City Voice on June 7. The 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element was posted to the City’s website on June 13, 2022 for a 30-day public review and comment period. Notification was also sent through the City’s outreach channels informing community members of the release of the Draft Housing Element and how to provide feedback. In addition, property owners of sites included in the inventory were notified by mail.

A comment letter was received from Greenbelt Alliance and YIMBY Law on April 21, 2022, prior to the beginning of the public comment period (included in Attachment 3).

The group was urging the City to include a rezoning component as part of the Housing Element to be able to realistically meet the City’s RHNA target while also complying with City Council/RSA Agenda 710 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
Planning Commission Staff Report, July 7, 2022
2023-2031 Draft Housing Element, Page 20
AFFH guidelines. Staff also received some feedback from property owners in response to the sites inventory letter that was sent out. The majority of responses received from property owners were either in support or did not object to their property being included in the Housing Element. No other public comments have been received by staff as of July 1, 2022.

V. NEXT STEPS
Once the Draft Housing Element is received by HCD, an initial 90-day review period will begin. HCD will provide a comment letter to the City which may include questions and potentially request additional information or amendments. Staff will provide a revised submittal to HCD based on the initial comment letter; any subsequent reviews will take 60 days.

Staff’s objective is to bring back a final version of the Housing Element to the Planning Commission in December 2022 for consideration and recommendation to the City Council. However, due to the duration of HCD review periods, the final Housing Element may be brought up later for consideration. Should this occur, any Zoning Ordinance and General Plan amendments required as part of the Housing Element related to maintaining adequate housing capacity to meet the RHNA may be brought to the Planning Commission for consideration in advance of the Housing Element. All rezoning is required to be adopted by the Council by January 31, 2023.

VI. RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission provide feedback on the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element and related Zoning and General Plan Amendments prior to staff submittal to HCD for state mandated review.

Attachment 3: Letter from Greenbelt Alliance and YIMBY Law City Council/RSA Agenda 711 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
April 21, 2022
Dear Union City City Council:

We are writing on behalf of YIMBY Law and Greenbelt Alliance regarding Union City’s 6th Cycle Housing Element Update. YIMBY Law is a legal nonprofit working to make housing in California more accessible and affordable through enforcement of state law. Greenbelt Alliance is an environmental nonprofit working to en‐ sure that the Bay Area’s lands and communities are resilient to a changing climate.

We are writing to remind you of Union City's obligation to include sufficient sites in your upcoming Housing Element to accommodate your Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 2,728 units.

In the Annual Progress Reports that Union City submitted to HCD, we observe the following trend of hous‐ ing units permitted in the last four years:

Year Housing units permitted
2018 85
2019 20
2020 7
2021 23
Average, 2018-2021 34
To meet the 6th cycle RHNA target, the rate of new housing permits in Union City would need to increase from 34 units per year in 2018-2021 to 341 units per year in the next 8 years. This is a 910% increase from re‐ cent years. If the current pace were to continue, Union City would meet only 10% of its new housing target.

Based on these trends, it is unlikely that Union City’s existing realistic zoning capacity is sufficient to meet its 6th cycle RHNA target. According to HCD’s Housing Element Site Inventory Guidebook, housing elements must analyze the realistic capacity of their sites, which may include considerations of “[l]ocal or regional track records”, “past production trends”, and “the rate at which similar parcels were developed during the previous planning period”. A housing element that does not include a significant rezoning component is therefore un‐ likely to be compliant with state law.

We urge Union City to include a major rezoning component in its Housing Element—a rezoning large enough to close the gap between recent housing production trends and the RHNA target. The rezoning should be within existing communities and should comply with the city’s obligation to Affirmatively Further Fair Hous‐ ing. We also urge Union City to ease any other constraints, such as discretionary approval processes or impact fees, that may impede the rate of development on your city's housing sites.

Thank you,

Desk Item
DATE: JULY 7, 2022
TO: PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: CARMELA CAMPBELL, ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: 2023-2031 DRAFT HOUSING ELEMENT DESK ITEM
Staff received questions/comments from Planning Commissioner Lew regarding the 2023- 2031 Draft Housing Element, currently under consideration as Agenda Item 6.B.2 of the July 7, 2022 Planning Commission meeting. The following are the questions/comments and staff’s responses (in red italics), which are anticipated to be incorporated into a revised draft prior to the submittal of the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for state mandated review.

1. The light grey text throughout this document is difficult to read because the light grey print on the white background does not provide sufficient contrast so this causes eye strain. Please use black or dark grey text in this document.

The light gray text will be changed to dark gray.

2. The page numbers are placed inconsistently throughout this document. In some chapters (1, 2, 5 and 8), the page numbers are adjacent to the spine or binding while in other chapters (3, 4, 6, 7 and 9) the page numbers are adjacent to the outer edge of the page opposite the binding. Please be consistent and show all page numbers adjacent to the outer edge of the pages.

The page numbering, and placement of numbers on the page, will be reviewed and amended as needed to address the inconsistencies identified.

3. Page 1-10, regarding community feedback, particularly under other community concerns, I noticed crime was not mentioned. In many Bay Area cities, residents have made crime reduction a very high priority, yet it seems to not be an issue with these community members. Please offer some explanations for this phenomenon.

ATTACHMENT 4
City Council/RSA Agenda 713 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
All comments received from the community through the outreach process are reflected in Appendix A. The responses are based on the questions posed which are focused on housing issues. Crime does not appear to be the greatest housing concern for Union City residents. However, the City did receive some limited feedback related to the issue of crime, which is documented in the survey results (i.e., Response 14 on page 8/45, Response 39 on page 11/45, Response 40 on page 11/45, Response 2 on page 13/45, and Response 51 on page 14/46.)

4. Page 2-2, Figure 2-1 and other similar figures show the indices for Alameda County and the Bay Area in similar shades of green, which offer little contrast and subsequently result in difficulties reading and understanding the graphs.

Please use a contrasting color for either the Alameda County or the Bay Area index so it is easier to differentiate the two indices and, therefore, better understand the data provided.

The colors used in Chapter 2 will be reevaluated for clarity.

5. Page 2-28, 1st para., 5th line – the amount of $101,000 for a moderate-income 3-person household is inconsistent with Table 2-5 on page 2-27. According to this table, the income level for this household should be $135,650. Please confirm the correct amount and make any needed corrections.

Noted. This error will be corrected.

6. Page 2-47, 3rd bullet, 5th line – “aa” should be “a.” Noted. This error will be corrected.

7. Page 2-51, 6th line at top of page – “haven” should be “Haven.” Noted. This will be corrected.

8. Page 2-52, 3rd para. – two of three affordable housing developments in Union City may convert to market-rate housing in 2029. If the tenants are unable to move into another affordable housing development, will they face eviction by a certain date? Will protections be put in place to prevent the evictions? Please explain.

City Council/RSA Agenda 714 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
The tenants would not be facing eviction should the developments convert to market rate.

They would be allowed the opportunity to stay in their units but would be doing so under the new market rate rents. City staff would work with both the management company and tenants to ensure that any rent increases abide by the City's Rent review Ordinance as well as abide by the City's Eviction and Harassment Protection Ordinance to make sure they work with our non-profit partners to ensure tenants understand their rights.

Ultimately, the goal will be to either re-syndicate or utilize other State and Federal programs to ensure their affordability into the future and be able to rehabilitate the developments to extend their use as well.

9. Page 3-2, Table 3-1 – regarding the total allocation of 2,728 units, are any of these units carried over from the prior RHNA because they were not built? Please clarify.

The 6
th Housing Element cycle allocation does not include any unbuilt units carried over from the prior Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA). The current allocation is based on a RHNA methodology that was created by Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) staff, in conjunction with the ABAG Housing Methodology Committee, which was made up of regional stakeholders including 9 elected officials (one from each Bay Area county) and 12 jurisdiction housing or planning staff (at least one from each county). This process is described in detail on page 4 and 5 of the staff report.

The RHNA methodology took into consideration statutory requirements and was designed to be consistent with the forecasted development pattern included in Plan Bay Area 2050. For more information regarding this process, see the on-line report entitled Final Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Plan: San Francisco Bay Area, 2023- 2031.

10. Pages 3-33, 3-34 or other potential sites – for property owners interested in redeveloping their sites, what are some general steps in proceeding with the process? Must they sell the land to a developer and relinquish all responsibilities? Please provide examples of past developments and/or explain potential paths forward.

Consistent with the City’s standard process, property owners interested in developing a site would need to go through the City’s Site Development Review (SDR) process as outlined in the Union City Municipal Code. The Planning Commission has reviewed City Council/RSA Agenda 715 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
several SDR projects with the most recent one being development of affordable housing in the Station East area (reviewed by the Commission at its June 16, 2022 meeting). As described on page 5 of the staff report, a site’s inclusion in the Housing Element does not obligate a property owner to develop a site. Property owners have full control of their properties and how or if they would like to redevelop. There is no requirement to sell land.

11. Page 3-36, 1st para., 5th line – “Berkley’s” should be “Berkeley’s.” Please correct misspelling.

Noted. This error will be corrected.

12. Page 3-36, 2nd para. refers to Table 3-8 as showing ABAG assumptions. The reference to “Table 3-8” should be “Table 3-9” which shows ABAG assumptions for ADUs. Please correct error.

Noted. This section will be rewritten for clarity.

13. Page 4-28, 1st line – “Contra Costa Valley” should be “Alameda County.” Also, there is a reference to “north county” in the next sentence. Alameda County is not considered a “north county” in the Bay Area. Please correct these errors.

Noted. This will be corrected.

14. Page 4-31, 1st para., 7th line – the reference to “west side” should be “east side.” The Station District and Mission Blvd. neighborhoods are located on the east side of Union City. Please correct this error.

Noted. This error will be corrected.

15. Page 4-38, 2nd para., 1st and 2nd sentences – please clarify the “rail line” mentioned in the first sentence. If you are referring to the Amtrack rail line shown in Figure 4-26, please know that some of the neighborhoods listed in the next sentence are “west” (not “east”) of this rail line. Please correct both sentences.

This section will be revised for clarity.

City Council/RSA Agenda 716 Tuesday, July 26, 2022

16. Page 4-49, 3rd para., 4th line – I believe “overpayment” should be “overcrowding” since overcrowding is the subject of this paragraph. Please correct error.

Noted. This error will be corrected so that “overpayment” is replaced with “overcrowding.”

17. Page 4-54, 3rd para., 3rd line – delete “Union” after “counted in.” As far as I know, there is no such place as “Union Alameda County.” Noted. This error will be corrected.

18. Page 6-17, 6th bullet – can the property owner reside in the ADU if he/she is not residing in the primary residence or the JADU? Please clarify and correct the bullet to reflect accurate information.

This section will be revised to clarify that only JADUs have an owner occupancy requirement in Union City, through a deed restriction. Please see Union City Municipal Code Section 18.34.030 (C)(1)(d) for details on the requirement.

19. Page 8-1, 1st bullet – “2018” should be “2019.” Union City’s 2040 General Plan was adopted on December 10, 2019. Please correct error.

Noted. This error will be corrected.

20. Page 8-2, 2nd bullet, 1st sentence needs a closing parenthesis after “Fall, 2022” but before the period. Please correct this sentence.

Noted. This error will be corrected.

ii. Review of the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element and Related Zoning and General Plan Amendments Prior to Staff Submittal to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

Chelsey Payne, Director of Urban Design and Planning, Ascent Environmental presented the staff report.

Commissioner Sakakihara thanked staff for the report and the Draft Element. Commissioner Sakakihara stated that he could tell a lot of work went into the 264 pages (without the appendices), and it was a very enlightening read. Commissioner Sakakihara also noted that he thought it was going to be harder to get through than it was, but it turned out to be very readable. Commissioner Sakakihara mentioned that in the presentation, the Bay Area’s allocation was about 440,000 housing units. Commissioner Sakakihara asked what the number was statewide.

Ms. Payne replied that she did not have the answer because every region of the State is on a slightly different cycle. Ms. Payne added that the Bay Area region gets their allocation at one time. Ms. Payne added that SCAG and SANDAG have received their allocation in the past, but there are still other regions of the State that have yet to receive allocations. Ms. Payne added that while it is hard to say at any one time what the collective allocation is, she confirmed that every region is seeing increased assignments from the State.

Commissioner Sakakihara asked if an existing or future owner of one of the sites that is listed in the Element wanted to develop on their property and the EIR is done in the process, could they leverage that EIR or would they have to go through their own CEQA process and determination.

Ms. Payne replied that they aren’t doing an EIR necessarily on the project but analyzing the impacts of the proposed changes. Ms. Payne added that the environmental team will be looking at discussing the strategy as some of the changes are minor in the scheme of things of what is allowed at the current sites. Ms. Payne added that they will be assessing whether there is an increased impact beyond what was analyzed in the 2040 General Plan but hadn’t necessarily committed to conducting an EIR on the proposed rezone sites.

Commissioner Sakakihara noted that in the Element it is noted that there is State funding tied to whether Union City has a certified Housing Element. Commissioner Sakakihara stated that it was understood that the City does not have direct control over whether the sites identified are developed but asked if the State funding is tied to actual progress against the Housing Element once adopted.

Ms. Payne replied no and that most, if any, funding programs are not tied to the Housing Element but tied to Housing Element compliance and Housing Element certification. Ms. Payne added that there are no real penalties or benefits incentives for meeting the RHNA beyond SB35 ministerial streamlining and whether it applies. Ms. Payne added that the only thing at this point is that it’s tied to the actual production of how much housing gets built.

Commissioner Sakakihara replied that he was thinking more incentives but that would have to be a discussion with the state legislature. Commissioner Sakakihara noted that because there is a lot of development in the pipeline, then the City would make early progress towards the goals.

Commissioner Sakakihara noted that a few sites listed that have industrial uses and asked how City Council/RSA Agenda 719 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
3 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
that revenue could compare to revenue generated from a housing development that has commercial on the first floor.

Ms. Payne deferred to City staff.

Carmela Campbell, Economic & Community Development Director replied that it was a very good question and that in the past they have not identified industrial sites or commercial sites for Housing Element sites. Ms. Campbell added that in this new cycle they must identify adequate sites, and the City needed to start looking into other opportunities. Ms. Campbell added that it is about tradeoffs. Ms. Campbell added that through the analysis of choosing these sites, that staff took into consideration a lot of factors.

Commissioner Sakakihara stated that he had a couple of questions and apologized for not getting them to staff in advance so there could be a Desk Item prepared. Commissioner Sakakihara noted a graph on page 20, Chapter Two, and couldn’t figure out what the brown bar represented. Commissioner Sakakihara asked for further clarification on the representation.

Ms. Payne replied that it seems to be a typo in the legend and thanked Commissioner Sakakihara for catching that.

Commissioner Sakakihara asked when the 2022 details of the Point In Time count would become available. Commissioner Sakakihara asked if a slide in the presentation mentioned it would be available in July or August.

Ms. Payne deferred to Mr. Gomez.

Francisco Gomez, Housing & Community Development Manager replied that they are likely looking at the end of July, and at the last all City meeting he attended earlier that day, they discussed the point in time count. Mr. Gomez added that ASR, the consulting firm, is doing a lot of the compiling of information. Mr. Gomez added that he will also be working with them on getting some more specific information regarding possible geographic data that could be used but there are some privacy issues that they’re trying to work out. Mr. Gomez also added that they don’t want to have an issue where they’re providing information that then leads to other issues and spiral out from there. Mr. Gomez replied that they are just trying to make sure that they keep the privacy of the people that were counted, and but also figure out where they are that way they can target services to them as well.

Commissioner Sakakihara asked if the plan is to update the Housing Element with that data, depending on the timing of when they submit the Housing Element for review.

Mr. Gomez replied that yes, it is the plan to update that section when they get the additional information and that way, they can be more descriptive about where they are seeing issues.

Commissioner Sakakihara noted two sites that are listed in the attachment that are underutilized and it sounded like the determination that the number of units that are going to be on there and counted towards lower income is based on the fact that they're going to zone them with a density of 30 units or greater. Commissioner Sakakihara asked when it gets counted against the Housing Element. Commissioner Sakakihara asked if it is when they are developed or in the analysis when it come before the City.

Ms. Payne replied that at this point they inventory the sites as opportunity sites for lower income housing, because they meet the 30 units breaker density threshold, but as projects are City Council/RSA Agenda 720 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
4 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
approved on the sites, they’ll need to account for what gets entitled. Ms. Payne explained that if there is a site that assumes a hundred units of lower income, but ultimately provides 15% lower income, then that would essentially be a loss of 85 units to the lower income inventory. Ms.

Payne added that they would need to account for that. Ms. Payne added that is why they do their best to build in that buffer of additional capacity to show through the eight years that there is capacity in the inventory but need to do the accounting for what gets built on the sites.

Commissioner Sakakihara replied that is very helpful. Commissioner Sakakihara asked that if they have the 85 units lost but with a 30% buffer, and if it was the first time dipping into the buffer, would the City need to go and find 85 units to add back to the inventory.

Ms. Payne replied that in that case of the first project that comes through and there is a loss of 85, the City would be able to make a finding that they still have a remaining capacity on the remaining sites to meet the lower income RHNA. Ms. Payne added that at that point the City would not be required to find a replacement site, but as time goes on and more projects are approved, there may be a point in the future where it is below and would be required to find a replacement site within 180 days. Ms. Payne added that it is possible that a replacement site might be where you have an interested property owner that already has the zoning in place. Ms.

Payne added that there could be another site that wasn’t included in the inventory that could be added in, or the City may need to find another site to rezone for residential or upzone to a higher density to add to the lower income inventory.

Commissioner Sakakihara expressed his concern and added that it wasn’t realistic to think that all 300 units would be low income in each of those areas. Commissioner Sakakihara noted that while they may find a non-profit partner or a willing partner that could help develop like recent projects, it is hard to get those off, especially multiples of them at once in an eight-year period.

Commissioner Sakakihara referred to page 176, Chapter Five, Page Two, where impact fees are mentioned twice in the paragraph and the graph in one place and referenced that there are impact affordable housing impact fee on additions exceeding 500 square feet where it applies, and the base fee $24,000 per unit, and then later in the paragraph, it says that the impact fee for the same criteria is $25 per square foot and was confused as to whether there were two different impact fees or why they were different. Commissioner Sakakihara added that on page 203, they mentioned in-lieu fees as having that $24,000 base. Commissioner Sakakihara asked if it was a matter of naming in-lieu fees earlier in the paragraph.

Ms. Payne replied that they could take another look at this section to make sure that it's accurate. Ms. Payne noted that there was some discussion and confusion about impact fees versus in-lieu fees and asked if someone on City staff could help clarify that distinction. Ms.

Payne added that the over time the way that the ordinances had been written caused some fees to be referred to as impact fees and then others as inclusionary in lieu fees.

Ms. Campbell replied that she was pulling up the ordinance now to get the terminology correct.

Alex Mog, Deputy City Attorney stated that the in-lieu fee is the City's inclusionary housing requirement for 15%. Mr. Mog described a one-hundred-unit project that would need to build 15 units of affordable housing and the possibility instead of building those 15 units of housing that they pay an in-lieu fee as a replacement for that impact fee and added that it is like the other impact fees that are designed to mitigate the impact of a new project. Mr. Mog added that in this case it is not a replacement for the units, it is an increase in the demand for affordable housing.

Mr. Mog added that an addition doesn’t have to pay an in-lieu fee because they are not subject City Council/RSA Agenda 721 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
5 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
to the inclusionary housing ordinance, but they must pay the impact fee because bigger families lead to more demand for services and lower wage workers. Mr. Mog added that looking at the paragraph quickly, he believes that the $24,000 is referring to the in-lieu fee, and that the $25 per square foot fee is referring to the impact fee.

Commissioner Sakakihara replied that the explanation made sense to him, but he was still confused about the reference in the report because on page 203 they were calling the in-lieu fee the affordable housing impact fee and asked if it was just a typo.

Ms. Campbell added that the $24,000 applies to small project in-lieu fees, and that if a project has six units or less, then the small project in-lieu fee can be paid per unit. Ms. Campbell added that when it gets over the seven then it is when they must provide a unit, and it is essentially $24,000 times six which equals the cost of an affordable unit, which was determined through an analysis.

Commissioner Sakakihara recalled a bond that Alameda County passed that was for 580 million, and Union City received a share of 8.8 million, which was a small percentage.

Commissioner Sakakihara assumed it would be doled out in phases but asked what Union City could do to get more of those funds.

Mr. Gomez recalled they were the Measure A1 funds, and those bonds were allocated in terms of population. Mr. Gomez added that there isn’t anything the City could do to claw back or request more. Mr. Gomez stated that the City was placed into both a regional and a base city pot, the base city pot that was received was about 4.4 million or so, and then the regional pot that was received was about 8.6 or 8.8. Mr. Gomez described the regional pot as competitive, and it was the Lazuli Landing project that applied to that regional pot and requested funding that was a one time application request. Mr. Gomez added that they wouldn’t be able to get any more of that funding available unless other cities has not utilized their base City allocation, which he didn’t believe any cities had. Mr. Gomez noted that last year all the cities were in the process of allocating the funding to a project and did not believe any had to go back into the pot and get redistributed out to the regional pot.

Commissioner Sakakihara stated that he did not know what the percentage of Alameda County's population was in Union City but did seem low that it only received one point something percent of the pot. Commissioner Sakakihara stated that he was glad that they competed for and received money for the Lazuli Landing project.

Mr. Gomez replied that the regional pot was a very competitive process and were going up against a number of applications from the City of Oakland, Hayward, and Pleasanton. Mr.

Gomez stated that Lazuli Landing was the City's best chance at getting into that 8.8 million pot and was outstanding for the City.

Commissioner Sakakihara asked how staff got to the timeframes put for the implementation programs, and then more specifically the Restoration Site timing. Commissioner Sakakihara noted that it is something the City will begin looking at in fiscal year ‘25 or ‘26 and was wondering how they got to that timeline.

Ms. Campbell replied that for a site to be included in the Housing Element, they must start working on developing it for housing during the cycle, Ms. Campbell added that it is known that the Restoration Site is a 20-foot in height and has slag from the former PSSC site. Ms.

City Council/RSA Agenda 722 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
6 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
Campbell further added that they pushed it out as far as they could in terms of the cycle, and saw it as a longer-term opportunity site.

Commissioner Sakakihara replied that because there is more work to be done on that site.

Ms. Campbell replied yes, and that there would need to be more characterization of the site and determined what exactly needs to happen in terms of removing the slag.

Commissioner Sakakihara asked if it is accurate if they had unlimited funding and staff time, they would essentially want to start all these tomorrow, and it was a matter of layering the actual constraints and figure out what could be handled. Commissioner Sakakihara asked if that is how the timeline was determined.

Ms. Campbell replied that it was one of the considerations.

Commissioner Sakakihara recalled the adoption of emergency guidelines to get into compliance with State law.

Ms. Campbell replied that it was for Senate Bill 9. Ms. Campbell added that it was going to be touched on later and at the next meeting staff would be bringing up some amendments to the Zoning Ordinance to replace the urgency ordinance. Ms. Campbell added that SB9 was legislation that allowed the development of up to four units on a single-family lot.

Commissioner Sakakihara suggest that under Chapter Nine, page eight, and asked if they could change the phrasing to include both monitoring and acting or complying to capture something that is changed with State law, and that they are also responding accordingly or remaining in compliance. Commissioner Sakakihara noted that he understood the intent but wanted to make it more active.

Ms. Campbell asked Commissioner Sakakihara if he could provide the proposed updated wording.

Commissioner Sakakihara replied that he didn’t have anything specific but instead of monitor ADU legislation he wanted something to the effect of monitor and implement changes in response to those changes, so that we stay compliant with State law. Commissioner Sakakihara noted that on the last page before the appendices, they have the quantified objective amount, and asked if it is common practice for jurisdictions that are drafting the Housing Elements to just put the RHNA obligation amount as the quantified objective amount of housing production.

Ms. Payne replied not always, and that sometimes they do use the RHNA as the new construction objective but felt like that was appropriate there to strive to meet the RHNA. Ms.

Payne added that in many jurisdictions that objective might be less than the RHNA because of constrained resources. Ms. Payne added that it might be appropriate to lower that but also felt it is a good goal to try to strive to meet the RHNA. Ms. Payne added that not all jurisdictions do it this way, but it is fairly common practice.

Commissioner Sakakihara noted that in the staff report he did not see the point about recommending to the City Council that they adopt the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan Amendments, and that was in the slide, and asked if they were going to receive more detail on those amendments in November and December, or if this would be the last time the Commission would see it.

City Council/RSA Agenda 723 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
7 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
Ms. Campbell replied that they would be bring back the amendments when they bring back the Daft Housing Element and the reason that staff is requesting the input is support for those now is to demonstrate to HCD when they review the draft that their support for increasing the capacity on these sites is going to facilitate the development of housing. Ms. Campbell added that it was a little bit tricky, but they went back and forth with staff and the consultant on to how to exactly word that, and this is what they came up with.

Commissioner Sakakihara asked they would have a chance in November or December to get more detail and get the actual textual changes.

Ms. Campbell replied yes.

Commissioner Sakakihara noted that on page 13, it stated that the City had three years to rezone, which they did not want to use that time, but then on the last page, it mentions that all rezoning is required to be adopted but the City Council by January 31 and wanted to clarify whether they were adopting it by 31st, because they wanted to go above and beyond or need to do it.

Ms. Payne replied that their goal would be to make the sites available before the start of the Housing Element planning period. Ms. Payne added that before January 31, 2023, if the sites are not rezoned before that date, then the City will have a shortfall towards meeting the lower income RHNA and then would have an obligation under State law to rezone the sites. Ms.

Payne added that with it there would be certain requirements placed on those rezone site, one of which would be that they have a minimum density of 20 units per acres. Ms. Payne compared it currently to the General Plan and Zoning that have a range of 17 to 30 or 17 to 45, and so it gets a little more complicated where those rezone sites have a different minimum density. Ms.

Payne also added that they have requirements for by-right approvals, and just other requirements that get based on those rezone sites. Ms. Payne concluded that they are trying to avoid that situation and trying to do it all at once to make the sites available early in the planning period, as a sort of best practice. Ms. Payne added if they can pull it off to make the site available prior to the Planning period it is always the best; otherwise, it gets a little bit more complicated and there’s more monitoring and reporting on top of having the obligation to rezone.

Commissioner Sakakihara replied that it was helpful to hear, as he was thinking if the Housing Element gets delayed because they must go through multiple rounds of comments, and hopefully not, why does the Zoning Ordinance and the General Plan amendments happen before that.

Commissioner Mclelland stated that it was a great report which she enjoyed reading as it was very informative. Commissioner Mclelland asked for clarification in the staff report on page 14 about the revisions to the Commercial Districts to remove references to the Historic Alvarado District and Mission Boulevard’s residential allowance and asked if staff could further explain.

Ms. Campbell replied that as part of the General Plan Update, there was a part that was redesignated, which was referred to as the Old Alvarado District or Historic Alvarado District as Village Mixed Use Commercial, so they added a new designation in the General Plan. Ms.

Campbell added that they did not come up with the Zoning, and as part of the implementation for the Housing Element, they would be adopting a new zoning district to implement the General City Council/RSA Agenda 724 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
8 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
Plan and added that they have received some grant funding to bring on a consultant who is helping the City come up with development standards in this area.

Commissioner Mclelland also noted on the same page, first bullet, under Special Needs Housing, the reference of a low barrier navigation center and asked for clarification on what that meant.

Ms. Payne replied that the low barrier means there is a low barrier to entry, meaning that there aren’t as many conditions for people to enter the facility, and for example people with pets or partners can access the facility to where a lot of emergency shelters have a lot of rules or restrictions. Ms. Payne stated the centers have fewer barriers to get people off the street and connected to services that they need.

Commissioner Mclelland noted that some of the properties proposed for development have an existing business. Commissioner Mclelland asked what happens to those businesses and the people that are there.

Ms. Campbell replied that they can remain and there will be changes in some cases to the Zoning and General Plan which would make the uses legal nonconforming. Ms. Campbell added that this means there are some limitations on their expansion, but most of the sites are built out anyway. Ms. Campbell stated that they wouldn’t be able to demolish the existing commercial building, and then build a new commercial building without meeting the new Zoning and General Plan. Ms. Campbell added that several of these Zoning Districts, such as Corridor Mixed Use, do allow for standalone commercial uses, but having them in the Housing Element the City wants them to develop with housing or be mixed use. Ms. Campbell further added that but these sites still have the ability to redevelop as commercial uses.

Commissioner Mclelland noted all the public feedback and asked how those comments fed into the plan, and what changes were made based on the public feedback. Commissioner Mclelland stated that she wanted to know how influential the public is in this document.

Ms. Payne replied that they conducted a survey and collected information and reviewed all the responses. Ms. Payne added that the input factored into the policies and programs and making sure that they were addressing the housing needs identified by members of the public. Ms.

Payne added that there wasn’t always support for specific ideas, but they looked at what people identified as the biggest housing issues and did their very best through the policies and programs to really provide a strong action plan for how to address those identified needs.

Commissioner Mclelland noted that something that came across loud and clear was people’s concerns over overcrowding. Commissioner Mclelland noted that the feedback was that the City was built out already, and there were too many homes and why build more. Commissioner Mclelland asked how that is balanced.

Ms. Payne replied that it is a hard one and they hear that across the state in most communities where she works. Ms. Payne stated that the City has an obligation under State law to plan for housing and every jurisdiction in the State does as well. Ms. Payne added that there aren't a lot of options for the City to say no to new development or to limit new development. Ms. Payne added that there are a lot of restrictions placed on the City and a lot of requirements for the City to plan for its fair share of housing and there's just very little the City can do.

City Council/RSA Agenda 725 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
9 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
Coleman Frick, Senior Planner, stated that one thing that was touched on at the beginning of the presentation is that the large majority of the housing units that are proposed to be constructed in the Station District area and lot of the concerns that came up were about traffic and preserving existing neighborhoods. Mr. Frick explained that Union City has a great benefit of having a lot of development opportunities near the BART center. Mr. Frick noted that the vision of the Station District Specific Plan is to have it more transit oriented and make it more walkable and reduce the impacts related to driving to the extent feasible.

Commissioner Mclelland stated that she wasn’t sure what categories were referring to low income and extremely low income. Commissioner Mclelland noted a graph in the PowerPoint presentation that showing the prices of homes over a 10-year period and how it increased by something like 200%. Commissioner Mclelland asked if that trajectory continued how would people be able to afford to live in the area. Commissioner Mclelland noted that while they can see some slow down with the recession, and interest rates going up, and asked if it would ever be as affordable as people are wanting or if the feedback that they saw from the public wanting some sort of assistance and housing for very low income is realistic.

Mr. Gomez replied that in terms of realistic, they are trying their best to generate affordable housing projects and get affordable housing in the pipeline to address that issue. Mr. Gomez added that overall within the State it is a hard issue. Mr. Gomez added that every jurisdiction is trying get BLI units and get them in their pipeline, but it takes a long time to get the funding together for these types of projects, Mr. Gomez added that if it is only 100 units here, and 80 units there, it is ultimately more units than not. Mr. Gomez explained that it just takes a very long time for affordable housing projects to get developed. Mr. Gomez added that you buy the site, build it out, piece together the funding, and it could take 3 to 5 years or 5 to 10 years to get one site done. Mr. Gomez added that they are trying to do their best especially in the Station District, by leveraging its proximity to transportation to get other funding that supports development close to transportation like ASHC and other funding sources. Mr. Gomez concluded that it is a difficult question to answer, and while they may not be able to get everyone housed, the City is doing its best to move forward to get those units in the pipeline.

Commissioner Mclelland stated that she doesn't know what the answer is. Commissioner Mclelland noted that she is also aware of how expensive the area is and while it is slowing down, it is not enough. Commissioner Mclelland asked if it would ever get to a point where it is affordable.

Derek Farmer, Planning Manager, noted that there is a substantial increase from what was required in the prior cycle not only for Union City but other jurisdictions in the Bay Area and statewide. Mr. Farmer added that there was an acknowledgement of the need for a large number of units to be made available in this cycle and was a lot more than in prior cycles. Mr.

Farmer referred to Mr. Gomez’s response of identifying the problem and that the additional RHNA that was allocated by the State, then the substantial increase that at least gets Union City and other jurisdictions on a path to prepare for that housing demand much more so than in the past.

Commissioner Lew thanked staff for the staff report but noted that she did not receive a copy and would be abstaining from a vote that evening. Commissioner Lew stated that she had a question regarding the Desk Item, specifically Number 18 that has to do with the owner occupied ADU or JADU living in the primary residence. Commissioner Lew stated that she did City Council/RSA Agenda 726 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
10 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
not understand why it says that the section will be revised to clarify that only JADUs must have owner occupancy requirements in Union City through a deed restriction. Commissioner Lew asked if they were saying that the owner must live in the JADU.

Mr. Frick replied that JADUs are a little bit different than ADUs in terms of the requirements and the regulations for State law and it is a requirement that either the JADU or the primary resident must be owner occupied. Mr. Frick added that there is a deed restriction requirement that is indicated in the Municipal Code.

Commissioner Lew asked if the Municipal Code was changed where initially before the JADUs came about and the owner could live in the ADU. Commissioner Lew confirmed if it was removed from the municipal code.

Mr. Frick replied that they can live in it and if it is just an ADU, then the owner could rent out the primary residence and the ADU.

Commissioner Lew confirmed if they did not have to live on site.

Mr. Frick replied yes.

Commissioner Lew replied that she did not remember it being that way, and it is all new with the JADU. Commissioner Lew added that didn’t look it up and likely had an older copy of the Title

18. Commissioner Lew stated that she didn’t understand why the owner would have to live there, especially if it was less than 800 square feet.

Mr. Frick replied that the JADUs are unique in that they must be created out of existing square footage within the residents and there is a size limitation. Mr. Frick added that what else is unique about them is that they’re permitted to have shared bathroom facilities with the primary residents. Mr. Frick added that they’re connected in a more unique way than a traditional ADU which has separate facilities for using the restroom.

Mr. Mog added that this is part of the City’s ordinance that the Planning Commission recommend approval for, and it was approved by the City Council. Mr. Mog added that nothing is changing through the Housing Element and that they are just summarizing what the requirements are in the existing Zoning Ordinance.

Commissioner Lew stated that it is in the Housing Element and thought it was kind of strange and didn’t remember it being that way. Commissioner Lew noted that a lot of the industrial areas are being converted into some type of residential or mixed-use. Commissioner Lew noted that at the time when she started her career as a Planning Commissioner, there was concern about moving industrial lands to housing. Commissioner Lew added that that has probably gone away, and it is more like arm twisting. Commissioner Lew noted that losing industrial areas means losing jobs and losing employers. Commissioner Lew asked what the cost benefit analysis is.

Ms. Campbell replied that there has been a longstanding concern of converting industrial lands for any other use and referenced the two sites that they have identified adding that one of them is located adjacent to an existing residential development that recently went in on Union City Boulevard and on the other side there is going to be a new R&D Development. Ms. Campbell further added that the idea is that as things are starting to converge on some these parcels and that because the kind of existing development that’s encroaching closer is more aligned with anticipated future development. Ms. Campbell stated that they had to be careful on which sites they chose and didn’t choose any sites that were in the middle of the industrial area because City Council/RSA Agenda 727 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
11 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
when you start to add residential, it undermines the uses in terms of how they operate. Ms.

Campbell added that staff understands that there is a potential loss of jobs but when they look at the Housing Element it is about trade-offs and they needed to choose some properties to convert in order to meet the RHNA and submit the Housing Element to HCD.

Commissioner Lew replied that if they did not it would not get approved.

Ms. Campbell noted that Vice Chairperson Guio was not in attendance because there was a conflict in terms of one of the rezone sites being in proximity to his residence. Ms. Campbell noted that he had to recuse himself and therefore they would need three votes in order to be able to move the item forward that evening. Ms. Campbell requested a short recess to consider the options.

Commissioner Lew requested she get a copy of the staff report and so she can read what is in it, as she did not want to vote on something when she didn’t have all the information.

The Commission took a 15-minute recess.

Ms. Campbell noted that there was someone hoping to speak during the public comment.

Commissioner Lew thanked everyone for the break and stated that reading through the staff report it was a restatement of what is in the presentation. Commissioner Lew did note that the calculations to come up with the RHNA number for Union City is still a mystery and was not explained.

Ms. Campbell explained to the Commission that Commissioner Lew asked how the City received their RHNA allocation and explained that the Association of Bay Area Governments created the methodology, and it is called the Draft Housing Methodology. Ms. Campbell explained that they had a committee made up of elected officials, representatives from each county, stakeholders from various groups including environmental groups and labor, as well as a Representative from the state Senate. Ms. Campbell detailed that there were 11 methodologies that they reviewed, and they narrowed it down to one. Ms. Campbell added that there are several factors that go into how to take the regional allocation and then allocate it to cities. Ms. Campbell added that things like the amount of high resource areas you have in the City, such as schools that are graded well and homes that are expensive, you received a higher allocation. Ms. Campbell added that idea was to implement Plan Bay Area 2050, which was recently adopted. Ms. Campbell concluded that in past years, it has been a bit of a black box and this year it was more structured, in terms of how the methodology was put together.

Ms. Campbell stated that they could go over that at a future meeting as it was very complicated.

Ms. Campbell asked Ms. Payne if she had anything to add in terms of the methodology that ABAG came up for cities.

Ms. Payne replied no, and that Ms. Campbell had done a good job of explaining it as it is very complex.

Commissioner Lew thanked Ms. Campbell for the explanation, and that she would go online and look for it. Commissioner Lew stated that she would like to see it fair, but it is difficult when you see cities like Los Gatos and Atherton, that they get their fair share, and you don’t see anything being built even though they have lots of land and beautiful estates there. Commissioner Lew asked if they are building ADUs and JADUs, or even if they have a Planning ordinance, General Plan, or things like that. Commissioner Lew stated that it was all a big mystery.

City Council/RSA Agenda 728 Tuesday, July 26, 2022
12 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 7, 2022
Commissioner Lew opened the public comment.

Giovanni Otani, Northern California Carpenters, Local #713, introduced himself and stated that his group represented 36,000 members in Northern California. Mr. Otani noted that approximately 200 of those members live in Union City. Mr. Otani stated that the Housing Element is great because it will provide housing for all income levels. Mr. Otani stated that it benefits people that want to live and work in Union City, however, before moving forward there needs to be some requirements for the Housing Element, as it stands, including a commitment to certified apprenticeship programs to guarantee that they have experienced workforce to complete high quality projects in a safe and timely manner, a livable wage with medical and retirement benefits, and that will allow workers and their families to live in the communities they work in. Mr. Otani added that it would mean that those wages will be reinvested back into the local community as they spend their earnings and their tax dollars that will help fund local schools and government projects. Mr. Otani stated that projects that invest in the apprenticeship, prevailing wage, and health care, are the best deal for workers and the community. Mr. Otani stated that they believe that the Housing Element with the prequalification language will help ease the housing burden we all face and urged the Commissioners of Union City to adopt labor standards as a requirement for Housing Element.

Commissioner Lew closed the public comment.

Commissioner Sakakihara moved that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the draft Zoning and General Plan Amendments as described in the staff report, and staff submittal of the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element to HCD.

Commissioner Lew confirmed if it should be a motion for the Planning Commission to recommend to the City Council.

Mr. Mog replied that this is just a preliminary step, and they would be coming back to the Planning Commission for the final recommendation to City Council.

Ms. Campbell stated that they will be passing the recommendation on to the City Council if they can hear this item. Ms. Campbell stated that she was glad this was brought up because she wanted to touch on this and like Vice Chairperson Guio, there are a few City Councilmembers who need to recuse themselves because of their proximity to the rezone sites. Ms. Campbell added that there is one Councilmember where it is unclear if they need to recuse himself, and they have sent a letter to the Fair Political Practices Commission to confirm whether they can participate in the discussion on the Housing Element. Ms. Campbell added that the letter was sent in late June, and they have fingers crossed as they are cautiously optimistic that they will have three councilmembers and provide some recommendation on the document and the zoning and general plan amendments. Ms. Campbell added that if they don’t then the Council will not be reviewing. Ms. Campbell also noted that there is no requirement in State law where the decision makers review the document prior to submitting to HCD and that it is just a best practice. Ms. Campbell added that if it is not heard by the Council, then the recommendation of approval by the Planning Commission will be provided to HCD.

Commissioner Lew stated that there was a recommendation and asked for second and a roll call vote.

Commissioner Mclelland seconded.

City Council/RSA Agenda 729 Tuesday, July 26, 2022

A. Follow-up on Planning Commission referrals to the City Council.

Ms. Campbell reported that the City Council approved the Dyer Meteor townhouse project at their June 28, 2022 meeting. Ms. Campbell added that they will be reviewing the affordable housing project in the Station East Area at their July 12, 2022 meeting.

B. Upcoming applications for the Regular Planning Commission meeting for July 21, 2022.

Ms. Campbell informed the Planning Commission that they will be having a Study Session to review some Draft Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance. Ms. Campbell added that Staff is proposing to add a new chapter to address development allowed under SB9, which they touched on during the evening. Ms. Campbell also added that the updates also include objective design standards because the projects are ministerial, which means they don’t require approval by the Planning Commission or City Council but it is important to include the standard that they would normally apply to if these projects would come to the decision makers. Ms. Campbell also noted that as part of those design standards, they will also be including accessory dwelling units, and they and a version of them in the residential chapter and some other miscellaneous updates that will be brought before the Planning Commission in August for formal review.

9. GOOD OF THE ORDER:

Commissioner Mclelland thanked staff for an excellent report.

Commissioner Sakakihara echoed Commissioner Mclelland and stated that he actually enjoyed reading the 264-page report.

Commissioner Lew stated that the Housing Element was very well done, and that a bonus was that there is a great glossary at the end.
