Staffreport
COUNCIL PRIORITY
• Housing and Homelessness
• Community Engagement and Outreach
• Community & Business Development
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION
The APR is a required report on the status of the City’s housing programs. Pursuant to Government Code §65400, local governments must provide, each year, an annual report for the previous calendar year to the legislative body, Office of Planning and Research (OPR), and HCD. HCD prepares the form template that cities must submit to comply with these statutory requirements. The City submitted the 2022 APR to OPR and HCD in advance of the April 1, 2023 deadline. Staff recommends that the City Council receive the report and review the submittal to HCD. No action from City Council is required on this report.
BACKGROUND
In past years, the APR focused on building permits issued for new housing units. Since 2018, and every year thereafter, various state laws expanded reporting requirements related to housing development. HCD prepares the form template that cities must submit to comply with these statutory requirements.
In 2022, the City reviewed 6 development applications, and issued 42 building permits for 276 units, of which 36 were accessory dwelling units (ADUs), 3 were single family detached homes, 1 was a 2-to-4-unit project, and 2 were 5+ unit projects (Centro Callan and Maple Lane).
The 2022 APR is the final report on the City’s 2015-2022 Housing Element. HCD certified the City’s 2023-2031 Housing Element Update in February, 2023 which will be evaluated in the next 2023 APR.
