VIDEOS. From the Half Moon Bay Planning Commission on Tuesday, March 12th, 2024 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting.
Staff Report for the 2023 Housing Element Annual Progress Report
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to Government Code Section 65400, each city and county is required to prepare a Housing Element Annual Progress Report (APR) on the status of implementation of the jurisdiction’s housing element. The APR must be prepared using forms and definitions adopted by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD). The APR is meant to serve as a tool for implementing a jurisdiction’s Housing Element.
Housing elements must be updated on an eight-year cycle as provided for by the regional planning oversight of the Association of Bay Area Government’s compliance with SB 375 the Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act.
Without this structure, housing elements must be updated on five-year cycles. 2023 is the first year of “Cycle 6” housing elements (2023 – 2031) for the Bay Area; therefore, this is the first report for the City’s Cycle 6 Housing Element.
Also note that recent legislation (SB 477) requires more detailed reporting than in past years, beginning with the 2023 APR.
Half Moon Bay’s Cycle 6 Housing Element is pending adoption having been submitted to HCD last summer. Staff is currently completing revisions to the draft element and its associated environmental review. In advance of certification, jurisdictions have been advised to prepare their APR’s according to the Regional Housing Needs Allocations (RHNAs) and programs in their draft elements.
