• Adjust the sites inventory to account for the removal of the site(i.e., remove 182 units from the very low and low-income category). The inventory numbers will be updated throughout the document(i.e., Pages 20, B-27, and B-68). With the removal of the Kaiser site and 182 units from the lower income category,there is a very slim buffer of units(seven units) within this category to meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Assessment requirements, as shown below.

Staff has provided a similar recommendation to City Council throughout the process, recognizing that the Sites Inventory is still under review by HCD (and will not be considered final until HCD certifies the Housing Element), and maintaining a modest buffer provides a margin of units to address no-net loss provisions of State law as future residential applications come forward. Throughout the Housing Element update process, 29 potential re-zone sites were considered; 24 of which were considered in greater depth through the public review process and in the Housing Element Program Environmental Impact Report(EIR)—the review process included a comprehensive initial sites ranking against criteria established by City Council; Vehicle Miles Traveled(VMT) analysis; analysis of school impacts; traffic Level of Service (LOS) impacts, owner interest; geographic distribution of sites; and extensive public input. At the City Council's direction, the site list for inclusion in the 61h Cycle Housing Element was ultimately reduced to 18 sites to reduce the overall buffer above RHNA'. With removal of the Kaiser site,the buffer of lower-income units is decreased from an already modest 189 units to 7 units. For the reasons noted above, staff recommends adding back an additional high- density re-zone site (i.e., that would yield units in the lower income RHNA category). Staff suggests adding Area 20 (Boulder Street)to the 6ch Cycle Housing Element. This site was eliminated in the Council's prior discussion, in part based on concern that it would reduce the number of locations in 'The overall buffer in the approved Housing Element was 507 units.
