VIDEO and HCD LETTERS. From the Half Moon Bay Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday, November 12th, 2024 at 6:00pm, as a hybrid meeting. Agenda/Staff Report ~ scroll down for the Director’s Report.
HCD stands for California Department of Housing and Community Development Housing Elements.
RHNA stand for Regional Housing Need Allocation.
STAFF REPORT. The City of Half Moon Bay submitted the Third HCD Draft Cycle 6 Housing Element to HCD on September 5th, 2024. On November 5th, 2024, HCD provided its response to the Draft per the statutory 60-day review timeframe (attachment 1).
On November 6, 2024, HCD delivered a second letter to the City (attachment 2). This letter outlines specific concerns about the City’s ADU Ordinance.
Staff just received these letters (same day as meeting 11/12/2024) and have not been able to complete full analysis. There are substantial issues in each letter identified by HCD which will require clarification from HCD and detailed staff analysis. Input and clarification from the California Coastal Commission (CCC) will be needed as many of the issues raised involve conflicts between the Coastal Act and State Housing laws (issues which the City cannot resolve on its own).
HCD indicates in their November 5 response letter that the City can expect a third letter focused on HCD’s concerns with Measure D. Once received, a copy of the letter will be forwarded to the Planning Commission and posted as well.
Staff will return to the Commission with further updates once we receive additional clarifications from HCD and CCC. Staff anticipates returning to the Planning Commission at their December 10, 2024, meeting.
Both letters can be found on the City’s Housing Element website: www.hmbcity.com/housingelement.
Attachment 1: HCD Response to Revised Housing Element dated November 5, 2024
Attachment 2: HCD Review of HMB’s ADU Ordinance dated November 6, 2024
