<br /> <br />City of Pleasanton’s 6th Cycle (2023-2031) Draft Housing Element Page 6 <br />November 14, 2022 <br />Approval Time and Requests Lesser Densities: The element must include analysis of <br />requests to develop housing at densities below those identified, the length of time <br />between receiving approval for a housing development and submittal of an application <br />for building permits that potentially. The element must address any hinderance on the <br />development of housing and include programs as appropriate. <br /> <br /> <br />C. Housing Programs <br /> <br />1. Include a program which sets forth a schedule of actions during the planning period, <br />each with a timeline for implementation, which may recognize that certain programs are <br />ongoing, such that there will be beneficial impacts of the programs within the planning <br />period, that the local government is undertaking or intends to undertake to implement <br />the policies and achieve the goals and objectives of the Housing Element... (Gov. Code, <br />§ 65583, subd. (c).) <br /> <br />To have a beneficial impact in the planning period and address the goals of the housing <br />element, programs must be revised with discrete timelines (e.g., at least annually or by <br />January 2025), including for Programs 1.5 (Assist in Development of Lower- and <br />Extremely-Lower Income Housing), 1.6 (High-Density Housing Outreach), 1.7 (Kiewit <br />and Stoneridge Site Development), 2.1 (Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance), 2.2 (Lower- <br />Income Housing Fees), 2.3 (Fees Nexus Study), 2.7 (Density Bonus Zoning <br />Amendments), 2.8 (Rental Housing Assistance), 3.1 (Manufactured Housing Zoning <br />Amendment), 3.5 (Housing Rehabilitation), 4.4 (Housing Infrastructure), 5.1 (Regional <br />Homeless Coordination), 5.6 (Zoning Code Amendments), and 6.1 (Objective Design <br />and Development Standards). <br /> <br />In addition, while Program 1.8 commits to monitoring Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) <br />production halfway through the planning period, this monitoring timeline should be <br />adjusted to every two years and include alternative actions by a specified time (e.g., <br />within six months) if ADUs are not meeting assumptions in the sites inventory, including, <br />but not limited to, additional rezoning. <br /> <br />2. Identify actions that will be taken to make sites available during the planning period with <br />appropriate zoning and development standards and with services and facilities to <br />accommodate that portion of the city’s or county’s share of the regional housing need <br />for each income level that could not be accommodated on sites identified in the <br />inventory completed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) without rezoning, and <br />to comply with the requirements of Government Code section 65584.09. Sites shall be <br />identified as needed to facilitate and encourage the development of a variety of types of <br />housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing, factory-built housing, <br />mobilehomes, housing for agricultural employees, supportive housing, single-room <br />occupancy units, emergency shelters, and transitional housing. (Gov. Code, § 65583, <br />subd. (c)(1).) <br /> <br />As noted in Finding B3, the element does not include a complete site analysis, <br />therefore, the adequacy of sites and zoning were not established. Based on the results <br />of a complete sites inventory and analysis, the City may need to add or revise programs
