6.1.F. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er April 22, 2013 SUBJECT Redwood City General Plan 2012 Annual Report RECOMMENDATION Accept the Redwood City General Plan 2012 Annual Report and direct staff to forward the document to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development and the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. BACKGROUND The General Plan Annual Report is intended to meet the reporting requirements of Government Code 65400(a)(2) and be consistent with the General Plan Annual Progress Report Guidance provided by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research (OPR). Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) requires jurisdictions to file an annual report addressing the status of their General Plan and progress made toward implementation of General Plan goals, policies, and programs, including progress in meeting its share of regional housing needs and efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing. As such, the City is completing this 2012 General Plan Annual Report consistent with State law (Attachment 1). Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65400(a)(2) and Guidelines prepared by OPR, General Plan Annual Progress Report Guidance, the Annual Report must be submitted to the City's legislative body for review and acceptance. A copy of the annual report is required to be provided to the OPR and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) by April 1 of each year (with a 60 day grace period). ANALYSIS The General Plan Annual Report is organized around major accomplishments to track progress on implementation programs for each General Plan Element: Built Environment, Housing, Building Community, Public Safety, and Natural Resources. This is accomplished through a narrative in the Annual Report and a comprehensive table (Attachment 2) that lists each implementation program, and the progress achieved thus far on that program. Redwood City continues to make progress on meeting its General Plan goals, policies, and implementation programs since the New General Plan was adopted in 2010.
