As noted, the sections of the Preliminary Report included for this meeting contain a high-level summary of the key findings from the initial analysis conducted as a part of the City's Housing Element Update process. This early review will both provide valuable background and supporting information as the City engages with more substantive policy discussions with respect to Housing Element policies and programs and streamline future review of the Housing Element prior to its adoption. Staff notes that the final, comprehensive draft of the Preliminary Report, inclusive of all of the above-listed appendices and other required content, will be brought back to the Commission next summer as part of the overall review of the Draft 6th Cycle Housing Element in late 2022. Appendix A - Housing Needs Assessment The Housing Needs Assessment (Appendix A to the Preliminary Report) establishes the foundation for understanding Pleasanton's housing needs. It analyzes a range of demographic, economic, and housing-related variables to determine the extent and context of the city's housing-related need. Information in this section provides a basis from which to build housing goals, policies, and programs to address those needs. As illustrated in Figure 1, below, from Appendix A the needs assessment includes an analysis of the city's population, special needs groups, employment, housing stock, and housing affordability. Housing Element Update Planning Commission 3 of 11 t, specific sections of which will be reviewed in this report (sections in bold), will include all the following required sections once complete: • Introduction • Appendix A - Housing Needs Assessment: Examines demographic, employment and housing trends and conditions that affect the housing needs of the community. • Appendix B - Sites Inventory and Methodology: Identifies locations of available sites for housing development or redevelopment to ensure that there is adequate capacity to address the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA).
