Pleasanton 2022 Legislative Advocacy Outcomes <br /> Pleasanton Position: Oppose <br /> Focus Area: Housing <br /> AB 1551 (Santiago D) Planning and zoning: development bonuses: mixed-use projects. <br /> Current law, commonly referred to as the Density Bonus Law, requires a city or county to <br /> provide a developer that proposes a housing development within the city or county with a <br /> density bonus and other incentives or concessions, as specified, if the developer agrees to <br /> construct specified percentages of units for lower income, very low income,or senior citizen <br /> housing, among other things, and meets other requirements. Previously law, until January 1, <br /> 2022, required a city,county, or city and county to grant a commercial developer a development <br /> bonus, as specified, when an applicant for approval of a commercial development had entered <br /> into an agreement for partnered housing with an affordable housing developer to contribute <br /> affordable housing through a joint project or 2 separate projects encompassing affordable <br /> housing. This bill would reenact the above-described provisions regarding the granting of <br /> development bonuses to certain projects. The bill would require a city or county to annually <br /> submit to the Department of Housing and Community Development information describing an <br /> approved commercial development bonus. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, <br /> 2028. <br /> Pleasanton Position: Oppose <br /> Focus Area: Housing <br /> AB 2339 (Bloom D) Housing element: emergency shelters: regional housing need. <br /> (1) The Planning and Zoning Law requires the legislative body of each county and city to adopt <br /> a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the county or city that <br /> includes a housing element. Existing law requires that the housing element identify adequate <br /> sites for housing, including rental housing, factory-built housing, mobile homes, and emergency <br /> shelters, and make adequate provision for the existing and projected needs of all economic <br /> segments of a community. Existing law also requires that the housing element include an <br /> analysis of potential and actual governmental constraints upon the maintenance, improvement, <br /> or development of housing for all income levels. This bill would revise the requirements of the <br /> housing element, as described above, in connection with zoning designations that allow <br /> residential use, including mixed use, where emergency shelters are allowed as a permitted use <br /> without a conditional use or other discretionary permit. The bill would delete language regarding <br /> emergency shelter standards structured in relation to residential and commercial developments <br /> and instead require that emergency shelters only be subject to specified written, objective <br /> standards. The bill would specify that emergency shelters for purposes of these provisions <br /> include other interim intervention, including, but not limited to, navigation centers, bridge <br /> housing, and respite or recuperative care. This bill contains other related provisions and other <br /> existing laws. <br /> Pleasanton Position: Oppose <br /> Focus Area: Housing <br /> Wage <br />
