2015-2023 San Leandro Housing Element Proposed Addendum * November 19, 2014 Page 4 <br />HCD Comment: Clarify if Action 58.07-C applies to programs which affect residents of existing <br />9 <br />housing as well as opportunities for new housing. <br />City Response: The first paragraph of narrative under Action 58.07-C (P 6-39) is edited as follows: <br />The City regularly invests a portion of its annual housing program dollars in services and <br />facilities for extremely low income households. These funds support a combination of new <br />construction and financial assistance programs for existing residents. The amount varies <br />from year to year based on available resources, programs, and need. Several programs, <br />including the City's mobile home repair and minor home repair grant programs are designed <br />to specifically benefit extremely low income households. <br />HCD Comment: On Action 58.08-C, note that the definitions must comply with SB 745 for transitional <br />10 <br />and supportive housing. <br />Subsequent HCD Comment: The City should re-evaluate its definition of "family" (Sec 1-30A of the <br />zoning code) to ensure that it does not conflict with state requirements. <br />City Response: The last paragraph of narrative under Action 58.08-C (P. 6-40) is edited as follows: <br />In addition, the zoning code should include definitions of "supportive housing," and "transitional <br />housing" in addition to using the more generic term "group housing." This change should be made <br />in both the Definitions section of the Code, and in the lists of permitted and conditionally permitted <br />uses for the appropriate zones. The definitions should be consistent with those established by SB <br />745, which took effect on January 1, 2014. When these definitions are added, the City will also re- <br />evaluate the Zoning Code definition of "family" and will modify it as needed to ensure consistency <br />with state requirements. <br />HCD Comment: On Action 59.02-A, indicate what action will be taken if the analysis suggests <br />11 <br />different parking standards. <br />City Response: The first sentence of Action 59.02-A is edited as follows: <br />Consider, ung and if appropriate amend, the parking standards in the San Leandro <br />Zoning Ordinance to incorporate the following changes: <br />HCD Comment: Action 59.04-B calls for a reduced fee policy, but text elsewhere implies City <br />12 <br />reduces fees on a case by case basis already (which would indicate there already is a fee reduction <br />policy). Clarify that the intent is to formalize when projects are eligible for fee reductions so it is <br />more objective. <br />City Response: The narrative text under Action 59.04-B (P 6-48 in redlined version) is edited as <br />follows: <br />Fee reductions or waivers s are currently granted based on the characteristics of each <br />project. This action would formalize fee waiver policies and procedures, creating more <br />certainty and consistency. Due to acute shortages of school capacity and parkland, these <br />fees should not be waived (except for uses such as senior housing, where student generation <br />is minimal). However, reductions or waivers of use permit fees, rezoning fees, preliminary <br />and tentative map filing fees, and similar administrative fees may be considered.... <br />2015-2023 San Leandro Housing Element Proposed Addendum * November 19, 2014 Page 4 <br />
