RECOMMENDATION(S):

  
ACCEPT the 2016 Annual Housing Element Progress Report, in accordance with Government Code Section 65400.

FISCAL IMPACT:

  
There is no fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

  






BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Housing Element is one of seven mandatory elements that every jurisdiction must include in its General Plan. State law mandates that all local governments adequately plan to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The Association of Bay Area Governments allocates the Bay Area regional housing need to all the cities and counties in the Bay Area. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, the County is required to submit an annual report to the State Department of Housing and Community Development and the State Office of Planning and Research by April 1st of each year. Jurisdictions are also required to submit the annual report to their legislative bodies for review and comment. Attached to this Board Order is the County's 2016 Annual Housing Element Progress Report.   
  
The County's Housing Element (Fifth Cycle) covers the planning period from 2015 to 2023 and plans for the provision of 1,367 units of housing in the unincorporated County. This is the second report for the Fifth Cycle Housing Element.   
  
In 2016, the County issued 191 building permits for single-family dwellings, 19 building permits were issued for accessory dwelling units, or second units, 6 building permits were issued for 2 to 4-unit buildings (16 units), and 3 building permits were issued for mobile homes. Of these issued building permits, a total of 28 units were determined to be moderate-income housing units based on the location of the units and the type of dwelling (e.g. accessory dwelling units). The number of building permits issued for above-moderate income housing was 201 units. During this reporting period, the County issued building permits for a total of 229 units.   
  
Calendar Year 2016 is the second year in the eight-year planning cycle. To date, the total number of units the County has issued building permits is 578 units, which includes 8 low-income units, 93 moderate-income units, and 477 above-moderate income units. This total is 42 percent of the County's Regional Housing Needs Allocation for this planning cycle.  
  
The County continues to implement 31 housing related programs, including programs designed to remove governmental constraints to maintaining, improving, and developing housing. A summary of the programs and recent accomplishments are included as Table C in the attached report.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

  
There is no consequence of a negative action. The County is required to provide the annual Housing Element Progress Report to the Board of Supervisors in a public meeting to allow the public an opportunity to review and comment on the report.
