I. INTRODUCTION Submittal of an annual housing report is' required by Section 65400 of the State Government Code and requires that a jurisdiction provide an update on: 1) progress in meeting the Regional Housing Needs Production goals including affordable housing production; 2) progress on implementing the various goals, policies and programs contained in the Housing Element; and 3) progress towards mitigating governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing. The City's Housing Element was adopted by the San Leandro City Council on January 21, 2003 and was certified by the State Department of Housing and Community Development on April 15, 2003. Sections II and III of this report, contained in the first eight pages, provide an encapsulated summary of San Leandro's progress on Housing Element Implementation and addresses the three reporting requirements described in the above paragraph. The last section of the report, Section IV (pages 9-52), provides a detailed update, in response to the State's reporting requirements, of the City's ongoing progress in implementing each of the Housing Element's goals, policies and actions. II. PROGRESS IN MEETING THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEED The City of San Leandro was allocated 870 housing units for the 1999 - 2006 planning period by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) Regional Housing Needs Plan. The allocations were finalized by the ABAG Board of Directors in March 2001 while San Leandro was nearing the end of its General Plan Update effort. As part of this effort, the City conducted a land inventory which provided the basis of the required "Adequate Sites Analysis." Although State law does not require the City to physically construct these units, the Adequate Sites Analysis shows that there is an adequate supply of land to accommodate the City's assigned housing production goal. Housing production was last updated covering the period between January 1999 and January 1, 2002. This report accounts for housing production activity between January 2002 and the end of calendar year 2004. The next section contains two tables. Table 1 accounts for housing production between 1999- 2002, and for the period between 2002 and the end of 2004. Table 2 provides a detailed listing of individual residential development applications that were approved between January 2002 to the end of calendar year 2004. The numbers in Table 1 will need to be adjusted as San Leandro continues to approve additional units in the future. From January 1, 1999 to January 1, 2002, 1,227 units were either completed or had received planning entitlements or under construction. The period between January, 2002 through the end of December 2004 saw an overall decline in housing production from the previous reporting period. Between this time period, the City either completed, approved planning entitlements or Year 2004 Annual Housing Progress Report 1 City Of San Leandro
