BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On October 28, 2015, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the proposed draft 2015-2023 General Plan Housing Element update, accept public testimony, and adopted a Resolution recommending the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element be forwarded to the City Council for approval and submission to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review and certification. On November 11, 2015, the City Council directed staff to submit the draft 2015-2023 General Plan Housing Element to HCD for review and comment. HCD has reviewed the draft Housing Element, and provided minor comments for approval by the state. HCD requested that an existing implementation program (1.5) include language to support migrant and farmworker housing as part of affordable housing programs. Staff has modified the existing program to include additional requested language by the State. On March 9th, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the proposed draft 2015-2023 General Plan Housing Element update, accept public testimony, and adopted a Resolution recommending the draft 2015-2023 Housing Element be forwarded to the City Council for approval. The Housing Element addresses the City's housing needs for the 2015-2023 planning period. It is one of seven -mandated elements of the General Plan required by State law. The Housing Element is subject to detailed State law requirements, and is the only element required to be reviewed and certified by HCD. Failure to secure a Certified Housing Element from HCD can result in the loss of funding for housing and infrastructure related to projects and potential legal challenges. The Housing Element is an eight-year blueprint for housing Lodi's residents, presenting data, policies, and programs for housing the City's residents at all income levels, including low and moderate -income residents, as well as those with special needs such as seniors. The Housing Element shows how the City will house its share of the projected population growth and of the region, as defined in the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), produced by the San Joaquin Council of Governments. In October of 2011, the City Council adopted the City's 2011-2016 Housing Element. The document was forwarded to State HCD, which subsequently granted certification. APPROVED: chwab- • - ity Manager The 2011-2016 Housing Element was done in conjunction with the overall 2010 General Plan Update. A number of the implementation measures were completed with the Development Code update in March of 2013 and the approval of development projects. The City of Lodi approved the Rose Gate project in late 2013, Van Ruiten Ranch, Reynolds Ranch, Gianonni and Baker projects in 2014 and Vintner Square in 2015. The amount of residential development has picked up in the past two years, and all approvals were consistent with the General Plan and the existing Housing Element. Staff views the 2015-2023 Housing Element to be a technical update and continuation of the 2011-2016 Housing Element. The 2015-2023 General Plan does not include new programs or new implementation policies. This document updates demographic information and provides housing direction for the next eight years.
