C I T Y O F S A N L E A N D R O SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND HR E X H I B I T A: S C O P E O F WORK AND COSTS 7.8 Produce Administrative Draft for Staff and HCD Review An Administrative Draft Housing Element will be compiled,with chapters roughly corresponding to the subrasks listed above. City staff will be responsible for circulating, reviewing, and commenting on the Administrative Draft. The revised Administrative Draft will then be submitted to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for a first-round review. Following the receipt of comments from HCD, a meeting or conference call with the State reviewers will take place to discuss their comments and the necessary revisions to be deemed compliant. 7.9 Liaison with HCD and Response to HCD Comments Barry Miller will prepare an official "response to HCD comments" document for HCD, identifying text changes, edits, additional data, and other explanations necessary to respond to the HCD letter. As feasible,drafts of revised language will be circulated to HCD for"informal"review,comment,and further revision. Early submittal of the Admin Draft 2015-2022 Housing Element is recommended to ensure adoption by the statutory target. This task includes liaison with HCD staff, including in-person meetings as needed to ensure effective communication and response. The task concludes when staff has reasonable assurance that the proposed revisions will result in an HCD compliance determination. 7.10 Produce Public Review Draft Housing Element Barry Miller will incorporate the responses to comments on the Administrative Draft, including staff and HCD comments, and produce the Public Review Draft Housing Element. Photographs and other graphics will be added,and maps will be inserted. Like the other elements of the General Plan, the Housing Element should be attractively formatted. The Housing Element will continue to be a freestanding document,which functions independently of the other chapters of the General Plan. A "summary" of the Element will be prepared for later use as an insert in the General Plan(similar to Chapter 9 in the 2002 General Plan). A copy of the revised public review draft will be resubmitted to HCD. The timing of this submittal should be such that a"pre-certification" letter can be provided by HCD prior to the Council adoption hearing. 7.11 Planning Commission and Council Hearings Because the Housing Element will precede the other elements of the Plan, a separate set of public hearings will be required to adopt the document. Barry Miller will attend one Planning Commission hearing and one City Council hearing. The Planning Center I DC&E will also prepare an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative THE PLANNING CENTER I DCBE 32 MARCH 3.2014
