ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65400, Annual Progress Reports (APR) regarding the City’s adopted Housing Element must be made to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1, 2020. Each year the report covers the number of building permits issued for new housing in the City in the preceding calendar year.
The annual housing report is submitted to HCD using their on-line reporting system. The on-line reporting system requires the City to use the form provided by HCD, which is attached as Exhibit 1. In the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region, the 2019 reporting year is shown as Year 7 in the Fifth Housing Element Cycle (Table B) of Exhibit 1. This report identifies the number of new residential housing permits issued and outlines the City’s housing programs and their progress through 2019. In the 2019 reporting year, zero residential building permits were issued for very low income households, zero for low income households, zero for moderate income households, and 609 for above moderate income households. The following table shows the total number of residential permits issued to date for each income level category according to the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) assigned by SCAG for the Fifth Housing Element Cycle.
