Housing Element Adoption 2010 EXHIBIT A: HOUSING ELEMENT ADDENDUM Apri15, 2010 The following changes are incorporated by reference into the San Leandro Housing Element and are part of the document to be considered by the City Council on April 5, 2010. These changes will be incorporated in a revised version of the document to be printed following adoption. Page 2-3, first column, first paragraph, second sentence, information has been updated to current departmental organization: The Office of Businesses Development, which is also within the Community Development Department, ^•~°°~°°~'~•~ +'•° r:,.. "~~~°'•°~'~ n~~°°, administers the City's Redevelopment Agency and works closely with the Housing Services Division 1/~~ on housing activities. Page 5-26, second column, following the "Conclusions, "add new heading called "Other Potential Governmental Constraints" and include the following text: In addition to the regulations and programs listed above, other government programs were evaluated to determine if they were potential constraints to housing production. San Leandro has a Rent Review Program that provides for a review of rent increases exceeding $75 per month, or exceeding 10 percent of the rent amount, or exceeding one increase within a 12-month period. Hearings are conducted by a Rent Review Board. Because the program uses mediation and non-binding arbitration, it is not a constraint. To the contrary, the program has helped resolve rent disputes in a fair, equitable manner that considers the perspectives of both landlords and tenants. The City also has a Rent Stabilization Agreement with owners and tenants at the Mission Bay Mobile Home Park. This is not considered a constraint to housing production since it only applies to a single mobile home development. The agreement has helped maintain the affordability of this project, which largely serves senior citizens, and has not hindered the construction of mobile homes elsewhere. Conclusions: The Rent Review Program and Mission Bay Mobile Home Stabilization Agreements do not pose constraints to housing development in San Leandro, Global Changes: Minor typographical errors and formatting errors will be corrected in the final version.
