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 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report (2021 APR) is to track and monitor progress in addressing the City's housing needs, goals, and policies on an annual basis. The 2021 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 APPROVED: Steve Schwabaue Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report March 16, 2022 Page 2 of 4 programs in the Housing Element. The City's Housing Element Annual Progress Report for the 2021 calendar year is attached to this report. Summary of New Housing Units Permitted The report demonstrates that the City approved planning entitlements for 236 new residential units. In addition, the City issued 196 building permits in 2021 for construction of new residential units, including 153 single-family dwellings, one accessory dwelling unit (ADU), and 42 units in one multifamily project, La Vida Building 3. HCD requires the City to report the affordability levels of all new permitted units; according to the reporting methodology, all 196 permitted units are considered affordable to households with above moderate incomes. 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 2021 the City had permitted 1,461 new units during the planning cycle. As shown in Table 8 — Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress, Lodi has significantly exceeded the RHNA for above moderate -income units (i.e. market -rate units) — 1,332 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 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) 304 units that are affordable to low-income households (earning between 50 and 80 percent of AMI) 283 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. Housing Element Prograrn Implementation The following are highlights from the City's accomplishments in 2021 on implementing the programs outlined in the Housing Element. Program 1.1: Revise Development Code The City amended its Zoning Code to allow residential care facilities in the Office zoning district to expand opportunities for special needs housing in 2021. The City will also amend provisions of the Mixed -Use Corridor district to validate and protect existing single-family homes in 2022. Additionally, an Accessary Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Jr ADU Ordinance was adopted by City Council on November 17, 2021 by Ordinance No. 1987. 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. This included 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. These amendments were presented to and approved by the City Council in January 2021. 1.5 Pursue State and Federal Funds in Support of Housing Construction The City continues to meet with the San Joaquin County Housing Authority and other affordable housing developers to discuss potential affordable housing projects, opportunities to collaborate on those projects 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report March 16, 2022 Page 3 of 4 and potential grant applications. Additionally, the City was awarded Homeless Emergency Aid Funds in 2019 to develop four permanent supportive housing one -bedroom units. An additional grant of $400,000 was awarded in 2021 called the Homeless, Housing Assistance, and Prevention Program (HHAP) from the SJC CoC, to support the completion of the project and help support the sustainability of the project. 1.7 Provide Rental Assistance Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City was awarded almost $800,000 in CDBG-CV Coronavirus aid in 2020. Out of these funds, $293,000 was allocated to two public service providers to provide emergency rental assistance to individuals and families impacted by COVID-19 throughout calendar year 2021 and moving into 2022.Over half of this funding has already been distributed to the community. 1.8 Focus on Neighborhood Improvement Initiatives The implementation of housing and neighborhood improvement programs is completed through the combined efforts of the Community Development Director, Neighborhood Services Manager, Program Specialist, City Manager's Office, consultants, Lodi Committee on Homelessness, Lodi Improvement Committee, City staff, and other volunteers. 1.9 Annex Land to Accommodate Future Housing Needs as Necessary In 2021, the City contracted with environmental consultants to perform the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) environmental impact analyses as the initial step required to update the City's Sphere of Influence and Municipal Services Review in 2022. This will allow the City to consider future annexations and adjacent property owners have begun discussions with the City expressing their interest to be annexed. 1.12 Subdividing Large Sites for Lower -Income Households The City is investigated opportunities for affordable housing and related Impact Fee and Ordinance development in 2021 and was awarded Regional Early Action Plan funds to help facilitate this effort. A feasibility study is anticipated in 2022. 2.6 Target the Eastside Area for Use of Funds for Public Improvements The City continues to use its annual CDBG allocation for public improvement projects, such as the Alley Improvement Project. This project improves alleyways that suffer from damaged pavement and poor drainage by removing existing pavement, installing proper drainage systems, and repaving each alleyway. The 2020-21 project is nearing completion and the 2021-22 project is underway. Applications are now being accepted for City Departments for the 2022-23 program year. 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 2020-2021 program year, SJFH assisted 587 Lodi households. 4.3 Pursue Regional Solutions to Homeless Needs In October 2021, the City Council approved the purchase of a location to develop an Access Center and Emergency Shelter to address the City's unsheltered population. The goal would be to have a temporary emergency shelter in operation within the first half of 2022 that would be able to house up to 50 unsheltered. It would provide services including, housing navigation, income advocacy, mental health and substance use treatment, job readiness training, etc., these services would be similar to what will be provided at the Access Center once complete. The permanent Access Center is planned for development over approximately the next 18 months and will meet the needs of the 2022 Point in Time Count. 4.5 Incentivize Affordable Housing Development The City has a reduced fee schedule for high-density housing, and the ability to further reduce impact fees to encourage development of projects affordable to lower-income households. In addition, City staff 2021 Housing Element Annual Progress Report March 16, 2022 Page 4 of 4 promotes infill higher -density projects, which by design have a greater affordability. Additionally the City has awarded variances to a 12 unit affordable housing project that was approved in 2021 and planned for development by summer of 2022. The City has also been awarded various grants and City Council has approved use of American Rescue Plan Act funds to facilitate the development of an Access Center Emergency Shelter for our unsheltered population. 4.6 Facilitate the Development of Project -Based Section 8 Units The City will continue to work with nonprofit developers to secure project -based or tenant based Housing Choice Vouchers (section 8) to offer subsidized housing costs. For the City's Harmony Homes Project 4 housing choice vouchers will be utilized through a collaboration with the Housing Authority and a local social service provider who will manage the property. The City is looking at many opportunities to collaborate in 2022 on grant applications for affordable housing. 5.2 Energy Conservation for New Homes The City continues to enforce state requirements for energy conservation. Moreover, a 235 Single -Family development, Vineyard Terrace, was built with solar panels to expand each unit's energy efficiency. Staff recommends that the City Council approve the 2021 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 by the deadline of April 1, 2022.
