To ensure <br /> ongoing compliance, the law requires local jurisdictions to submit an annual report to <br /> HCD, generally referred to as the Annual Progress Report (APR) by April 1st of each <br /> year, documenting the number of housing units in various affordability categories that <br /> have been produced over the past year and through the course of the housing element <br /> cycle. The APR is tentatively scheduled to be presented at the March 5, 2019 Council <br /> meeting, prior to its submittal to HCD. A draft table showing Pleasanton's current <br /> progress towards meeting the RHNA goal is shown in Table 2, including permits issued <br /> by year for 2015 (the first Housing Element reporting year) through 2018. <br /> Planning vs. Building Housing <br /> Under current state law, a jurisdiction is not required to build the RHNA-assigned <br /> housing units. Rather, it is required to adopt a land use program — appropriate General <br /> Plan and Zoning — including identification of specific sites with available infrastructure <br /> and suitable physical conditions to accommodate these housing units under market- <br /> driven conditions. Table 3, below, includes a list of all identified housing sites that had <br /> appropriate General Plan and Zoning to accommodate High Density housing. Note, this <br /> list of high-density housing sites does not precisely correlate with the RHNA LowNery <br /> Low-income unit count shown in Table 1, because some sites, although classified by <br /> the City as "High Density" did not meet HCD's requirements to be counted as part of <br /> Pleasanton's LowNery-Low income unit inventory. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
