C I T Y O F S A N L E A N D R O S A N LEANDRO G E N E R A L P L A N U P D A T E A N D E I R E X H I B I T A: S C O P E O F WORK AND COSTS 7.5 Evaluate Constraints to Housing Development Barry Miller will complete the State-mandated constraints analysis. Zoning regulations, such as minimum lot size standards, maximum densities, lot coverage requirements, height limits,and use permit requirements, will be addressed, just as they were in the 2007-14 Element. Consistent with Stare law, the analysis will also address constraints to particular housing types, including second units, emergency shelters,SROs,and transitional housing. This task will also look at the building and permitting process in San Leandro, including factors such as processing times, locally unique building code standards, fees(compared to other cities),and site improvement requirements. Design review and subdivision standards also will be reviewed. Non-governmental constraints will be assessed as part of this task. These include the availability of infrastructure, traffic congestion, school capacity, and environmental constraints. Financial constraints also will be considered. This includes land and construction costs, and issues surrounding financing and mortgage lending practices. In the event the City uses the streamlined approach to updating its Housing Element, this task will use the existing Housing Element constraints chapter as its baseline,with redlining added to note edits and changes. 7.6 Prepare Goals,Policies,and Quantified Objectives Barry Miller will prepare the goals,objectives, and policies for the revised Housing • Element. The 2007-2014 numerical objectives will need to be replaced with new numerical targets, and the action programs will need to be updated to cover the 2015-2022 period. Existing policies will be carried forward to the greatest extent possible, taking advantage of the fact that the City's existing Housing Element was certified less than three years ago. Where feasible and appropriate,new policies will be added to address emerging housing issues and other issues that may have been raised during the General Plan Update process. 7.7 Prepare Action Program Implementing actions and programs will be developed to achieve the goals and objectives identified in Task 7.6. Again, many of these actions and programs are expected to be carried forward from the 2007-14 Element. For each action, a priority will be assigned, responsible parties will be identified, and an estimated timetable for implementation will be provided. THE PLANNING CENTER I OC&E 31 MARCH 3,2014
