RECOMMENDATION Adopt a Resolution confirming participation in the San Mateo County Sub-region for the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) Process and acceptance of the assigned housing share in accordance with the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) recommendation. See Attachment 1 for Draft Resolution. BACKGROUND The RHNA process occurs approximately every seven years commensurate with the City's Housing Element update process. As part of this process, the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) determines the number of housing units each region must plan for, based in part on anticipated statewide population growth projections. For this 2007-14 RHNA cycle, the State determined that the Bay Area must plan for a total regional housing need of 214,500 units including the need for income- based units. San Mateo County's 'fair share' portion of the Bay Area housing need is 15,738 units. For this RHNA cycle, pursuant to Government Code Sections 65584-85584.05, the 20 cities of San Mateo County and the County of San Mateo have become members of a countywide ad hoc joint powers authority. This Sub-regional authority formed specifically to locally administer the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG's) Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) process. A Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) comprised of one representative from each of the 21 jurisdictions acts as the governing board of the Sub-region. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of senior staff from each of the 21 jurisdictions with technical expertise in the field of housing and land use was also formed to assist in the development of recommendations relevant to the Sub-regional RHNA process. The Sub-region was approved by ABAG in September 2006. The City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG) was selected to administer and support the Sub-regional process. The "Final Methodology for Determining Housing Needs Shares" was submitted to ABAG on March 27, 2007. In accordance with this methodology, a proposed "Draft . Allocation of Housing Shares" for the jurisdictions in the San Mateo County Sub-region was developed. The proposed allocation was reviewed by the RHNA TAC on June 7, 2007 and by the RHNA PAC on June 14, 2007. At the TAC and PAC meetings in June, C/CAG staff presented a preview of possible adjustments (along with the Final Allocation that would result) based on discussions with member jurisdictions. Both committees unanimously approved the proposal, hence it was formally adopted as the "Draft Allocation," and was submitted to ABAG on June 21, 2007.
