AGENDA TITLE: Accept Planning Commission's Recommendation to Approve the 2020
Housing Element Annual Progress Report and Direct Staff to Transmit the
Report to the California Department of Housing and Community
Development and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research
MEETING DATE: April 7, 2021
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Accept Planning Commission's recommendation to approve
the 2020 Housing Element Annual Progress Report and direct
staff to transmit the report to the California Department of
Housing and Community Development and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The California Department of Housing and Community
Development requires each local jurisdiction in the state to
prepare an annual progress report on its progress in
implementing its Housing Element. California Government Code Section 65400 states that the report
shall be considered at an annual public meeting before the legislative body where members of the
public shall be allowed to provide oral testimony and written comments.
The purpose of the 2020 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (2020 APR) is to track and
monitor progress in addressing the City's housing needs, goals, and policies on an annual basis.
The 2020 APR summarizes the City's activities in the last calendar year related to implementation of
the current General Plan Housing Element, which was adopted by the City Council in April 2016.
California Government Code Section 65400 requires the City to file an annual report addressing the
status of the Housing Element, progress made toward implementing its goals and policies, and
progress in meeting its share of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation. The report must be
submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and the
Governor's Office of Planning and Research.
HCD has specific reporting requirements for housing elements, which consist of a series of tables.
The tables summarize the City's progress during the given year in producing various types of housing
units and implementing programs contained in the Housing Element.
HCD requires reporting on the number of entitlement applications for housing units submitted and
approved, and the number of building permits issued, during the year (Tables A, A2, and B), including
the type of units (single-family, multiple -family, etc.) and the level of affordability (very low, low,
moderate, and above moderate income). Table D of the annual report tracks the City's
implementation of policies and programs in the Housing Element. The City's Housing Element
Annual Progress Report for the 2020 calendar year is attached to this report.

Suminary of New Housing Units Permitted
The report demonstrates that the City approved planning entitlements for 150 new residential units
(the Reynolds Ranch subdivision). In addition, the City issued 267 building permits in 2020 for
construction of new residential units, including 265 single-family dwellings and two accessory
dwelling units (ADUs). HCD requires the City to report the affordability levels of all new permitted
units; according to the reporting methodology, the 265 permitted single-family dwellings are
considered affordable to households with above moderate incomes, and the two ADUs are
considered affordable to low-income households (based on the typical rent amounts charged for
studio and smaller one -bedroom units in Lodi).
As stated in the City's current Housing Element, for the 2014-2022 regional planning cycle, Lodi's
RHNA is 1,931 new residential units. As of the end of 2020 the City had permitted 1,265 new units
during the planning cycle. As shown in Table B — Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress, Lodi
has significantly exceeded the RHNA for above moderate -income units (i.e. market -rate units) —
1,136 units permitted compared to 770 required per the RHNA — but is falling short of meeting the
RHNAs for new units at lower levels of affordability. To meet the RHNA at all affordability levels for
the 2014-2022 planning period, Lodi would still need to issue building permits for:
445 units that are affordable to very low-income households (earning below 50 percent of
the area median income, or AMI)
■ 302 units that are affordable to low-income households (earning between 50 and 80 percent
of AMI)
■ 285 units that are affordable to moderate -income households (earning between 80 and 120
percent of AMI)
These numbers illustrate the need for the City of Lodi to encourage and facilitate the development
of more below market rate housing units that would be affordable to households in the very low, low,
and moderate -income brackets. The City is currently applying for multiple state grants to fund the
creation of affordable housing for these segments of the population.
IIIousino Elem-erd Program_ImVe;rnentation
The following are highlights from the City's accomplishments in 2020 on implementing the programs
outlined in the Housing Element.
Program 1.1: Revise Development Code
The City is undertaking efforts in 2021 to amend its Zoning Code to allow residential care facilities
in the Office zoning district to expand opportunities for special needs housing. The City will also
amend provisions of the Mixed -Use Corridor district to related to validate and protect existing
single-family homes.
1.2 Revise Growth Management Allocation Ordinance
In 2020 the City undertook a comprehensive review of its Growth Management Program that
addressed potential barriers to housing production, including eliminating a restriction on when
during the year a growth allocation request may be submitted, streamlining the growth allocation
review process to allow the Planning Commission to consider tentative maps and growth
allocations concurrently, and simplifying application requirements for growth allocations.
1.5 Pursue State and Federal Funds in Support of Housing Construction
The City continued to meet with the San Joaquin County Housing Authority to discuss potential
affordable housing projects, opportunities to partner on such projects, and opportunities to jointly
pursue CDBG grant funding.

Page 3 of 4
1.7 Provide Rental Assistance
The City was awarded almost $800,000 in CDBG-CV Coronavirus aid, of which $293,000 was
allocated to two public service providers to provide emergency rental assistance to individuals and
families impacted by COVID-19.
1.8 Focus on Neighborhood Improvement Initiatives
In 2020 the Department hired a full-time Neighborhood Services Manager, Jennifer Rhyne, who
works collaboratively with the Community Development Director, City Manager's office,
consultants, Lodi Committee on Homelessness, Lodi Improvement Committee, and other external
groups on implementation of housing and neighborhood improvement programs.
1.9 Annex Land to Accommodate Future Housing Needs as Necessary
The City is currently in discussions with property owners regarding potential annexations and will
begin the process of updating its Sphere of Influence and Municipal Services Review in 2021 to
allow consideration of annexations.
1.12 Subdividing Large Sites for Lower -Income Households
The City is investigating opportunities for affordable housing and related Impact Fee and
Ordinance development in 2021.
2.6 Target the Eastside Area for Use of Funds for Public Improvements
The City completed construction on a new restroom at Blakely Park in 2020.
4.1 Promote Fair Housing Services
San Joaquin Fair Housing (SJFH) provides fair housing assistance, including education,
counseling, and mediation services, to San Joaquin County residents. In the 2019-2020 program
year, SJFH assisted 538 Lodi households.
4.3 Pursue Regional Solutions to Homeless Needs
In November 2020 the City adopted the San Joaquin County Homelessness Strategic Plan, which
provides a blueprint on how the City and County should address our unsheltered population.
4.6 Incentivize Affordable Housing Development
In October 2020, the City was awarded a Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) grant from
the State Department of Housing and Community Development. An estimated $2,017,590 in
PLHA funds will be available over a five-year period (2019-2023), with the first annual allocation of
$336,265 awarded in Fiscal Year 2019-2020. Funds from this grant will be used to increase the
supply of affordable housing in the City or help develop a Navigation Center Emergency Shelter for
our unsheltered population.
4.6 Facilitate the Development of Project -Based Section 8 Units
The City works with nonprofit developers to secure project -based Section 8 funding. For the City's
new Harmony Homes Project 4 project based vouchers were acquired in collaboration with
Housing Authority.
5.2 Energy Conservation for New Homes
The Vineyard Terrace development project, with 235 new single-family homes, was constructed
with solar panels on all residences to maximize energy efficiency and conservation.
The 2020 APR was presented to the Planning Commission on March 24, 2021. The Commission
voted 5-1-1 to recommend City Council approval of the 2020 APR.
