Task A-3: Collect and Analyze Baseline Data Description: This task includes the data collection and analysis that is necessary to update the Housing Element. Among the sub-tasks to be completed are: ^ An evaluation of the 2002 Housing Element, including an assessment of each action program and an evaluation of progress towards implementation. This will include quantifiable data wherever possible, ^ A "Needs Assessment" based on demographic and housing trends. This will include a summary of population and household data, and an analysis of trends since 2002 based on the best available data sources. It will include a summary of housing market conditions, housing maintenance and conservation issues, housing overpayment, and provisions for special needs groups, ^ An Adequate Sites Analysis, building on the analysis completed in 2002. The previous analysis will be updated to comply with state requirements, to reflect development activity since 2002, to reflect the City's 2007-2014 Regional Housing Needs Allocation, and to reflect new policies and zoning changes such as the TOD strategy. ^ A Constraints Analysis, that will evaluate both governmental and non-governmental constraints to housing production in the City. ^ An evaluation of other relevant factors, consistent with State Housing law, including energy conservation, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity housing measures, and the protection of at- riskaffordable housing units. Each of the above bullet points represents a "chapter" in the revised Housing Element. Drafts of each chapter will be prepared, circulated to staff, and revised as needed. Maps, charts, and other graphics will be prepared to illustrate key points and findings. Task A-4: Update Housing Policies and Programs Description: Based on the outcome of Task 3, revisions to the city's housing policies and programs will be proposed. For example, these could include changes to the City's inclusionary zoning policies, development standards, affordable housing preservation strategies, and funding priorities. Policy "options" will be developed and presented for discussion. Any changes in current policy will be thoroughly vetted through meetings with City Staff, the community, and the Planning Commission and City Council. Input and guidance from State HCD will also be important. The end product of this Task will be a revised set of Housing policies and action programs, and a new five- year action plan, to be incorporated in the Draft Housing Element. Task A-5: Prepare Administrative Draft Housing Element Description: This task includes production of a working draft Housing Element for staff review. The deliverables produced in Tasks 3 and 4 will be synthesized into a consolidated report. An Introduction and Table of Contents will be added, and relevant appendices (lists of opportunity sites, etc.) will be produced, The Administrative Draft will be circulated for review by City staff. Coordination with State HCD will continue throughout this task. Consulting Services Agreement between February 4, 2008 City of San Leandro and Barry J. Miller -- Exhibit A Page 2 of 4
