Commission comments can be found in the agenda report included as Attachment 2 and a summary of the feedback from the Community Meeting has been included as Attachment 6. The November 10 and December 15 Planning Commission agenda reports can be found in Attachments 1 and 2 for reference. As discussed later in this report, the Planning Commission supported staff's recommended list that included a narrowed list of 24 sites from among the initial list of 29 sites. DISCUSSION RHNA and Proiected "Gap" As previously summarized, and shown in Table 1, below, the City's RHNA allocation of 5,965 units, and analysis of existing zoning capacity indicates an anticipated "gap," or shortfall, of units of at least 3,143 additional housing units — this includes 1,284 lower- income units (extremely -low, very low and low); 312 moderate income units, and 1,547 above -moderate income units). Additional sites will need to be identified to demonstrate adequate zoning capacity to meet the total RHNA and address the shortfall, which exists in varying degrees across each of the income categories.

'- Although the analysis of existing capacity generally identifies production in more detail across affordability categories, HCD's guidance treats planning for "lower-income" housing in a manner that conceptually aggregates Extremely -Low, Very -Low and Low -Income categories, and therefore the table similarly aggregates them.
