6.3.B. - Page 5 Next Steps Key dates for the Subregional RHNA process going forward are: • February 18, 2013 - Deadline for Local Appeals to Draft RHNA allocations • March 30 -April 4, 2013 - Public Hearing on Local Appeals • May 16, 2012- ABAG Executive Board considers Appeals • June 3, 2013 - ABAG issues Final RHNA • July 18,2013 - Public Hearing & Adoption of Final RHNA Allocation • December 30, 2014 - Local Government Must Adopt 2014-22 Housing Element If all 20 cities and the County adopt resolutions accepting the allocations, then the RHNA process in San Mateo County will be complete, pending final adoption by ABAG by June 18, 2013. The above schedule is also aligned with the milestones/schedule for the SCS and Regional Transportation Plan update. Refer to Attachment 4 for details. As part of the 2014-2022 Housing Element update process staff will also pursue several avenues to ensure that the Housing Element update is as cost effective as possible for the City including: 1. Continue to participate in the "21 Elements" effort coordinated by C/CAG where much of the Housing Element base data is prepared by a single consultant for use in the Housing Elements of the County's 21 jurisdictions. 2. Complete the Housing Element by December 30, 2014 in order to qualify for the additional incentive included in SB 375, specifically that a local government that adopts its Housing Element on time will not have to adopt another housing element for eight years, instead of an otherwise required four year cycle. Consequently, although the December of 2014 deadline may appear to be in the far future, it is important to begin Housing Element update compliance efforts now. 3. Work with HCD to qualify for a streamlined HCD Housing Element review, an option provided by the State for updates of previously certified Housing Elements that can illustrate compliance with previously adopted Housing Element policies and programs. As previously described, the City has already approved a number of zoning amendments that implement many of its Housing Element policies, including Mixed Use Corridor (MUC) Rezonings for powntown, EI Camino Real, Veterans Blvd., Streetcar Broadway and Gateway Broadway. In 2013, staff will also bring the following zoning amendments before the Planning Commission and City Council to implement additional Housing Element policies: a. Mixed-Use Live-Work and Mixed-Use Neighborhood Rezonings b. Emergency Shelter Overlay Zoning (per SB2) and c. Rezoning to allow carriage homes in residential districts ALTERNATIVES Do not adopt the Resolution to approve Redwood City's Proposed Final Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) for the 2014-2022 General Plan Housing Element.
