BACKGROUND Section 65400 of the California Government Code requires the City to file an annual report with HCD addressing the status of the General Plan Housing Element and progress made toward implementing its goals and policies. The General Plan Housing Element for the 2015-2023 planning period was adopted by the City Council on January 6, 2015. This annual report will be the seventh submitted for the 5t" Cycle Housing Element, covering calendar year 2022. Future APRs will cover the 6t" Cycle Housing Element which was adopted on January 26, 2023, and is pending certification by HCD. DISCUSSION The Housing Element Annual Progress Report — 2022 is attached for City Council review (Attachment 1). HCD has specific reporting requirements for the APR, including information contained in a series of standardized spreadsheet tables (completed tables are attached to this report). Various State housing laws adopted in 2020 and more recent years have added new data requirements for APRs that are reflected in this 2022 Housing Element APR as needed. Some of the newer standardized tables required by HCD, particularly Table A2, are difficult to print in a reader-friendly manner. Staff has attempted to make the tables as clear as possible and a link to PDF (electronic) copies is available upon request and on the City's website. In the past, HCD only required reporting on the number of housing unit permits issued each reporting year. HCD now requires reporting on the number of applications submitted, housing unit permits issued, and housing permits finaled during the year, including the type of units (single-family, multifamily, etc.), and their affordability categories (very low-, low-, moderate- and above moderate-income). Table B of Attachment 1, shown as Table 1 on page 4 of this report, is a summary that tracks building permits issued for each year of the 5th Cycle Housing Element's Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) period (2015-2023). In 2022, the City received 10 applications for the construction of new housing that have been deemed complete and were either approved or are pending approval. These applications can be broken down as follows: Application Type Number of Number of Notes Applications Units Single-Family 7 67 PUD-138, Spotorno includes 22 new Residential single-family units and 22 new ADUs. Multi-Family 3 407 104 of the 406 units are designated Residential as lower income units. Total: 10 474 The above table reflects the projects that were deemed complete in 2022. Of the 10 applications, nine applications containing 114 units were approved in 2022. The remaining project, the Stoneridge Mall Residential project, is anticipated to be approved in Spring 2023.
