File Number: 22-475 State law requires that every housing element include an inventory of land suitable and available for residential development to meet the jurisdiction ’s share of the regional housing need called the RHNA. Chapter 4, Housing Resources, documents the methodology and results of the Housing Sites Inventory analysis conducted to demonstrate the City ’s ability to satisfy its share of the regional housing need. The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is responsible for developing a methodology for allocating the regional determination to each city and county in its region. The 6th Cycle RHNA is based on population projections, income distribution, and access to jobs and is broken down into affordability categories based on Area Median Income (AMI). San Leandro’s 2023-2031 Housing Target (RHNA) Income Category Units % of Total Extremely Low Income (15-30% AMI) 431 11.2% Very Low-Income (30-50% AMI) 431 11.2% Low Income (50-80% AMI) 495 12.8% Moderate Income (80-120% AMI) 696 18.1% Above Moderate Income (>120% AMI) 1,802 46.7% Total 3,855 100.0% The Draft Housing Element demonstrates the RHNA can be met through a combination of pipeline projects (Planned, Approved, and Pending ), Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), and a list of housing opportunity locations, called the Sites Inventory. The Sites Inventory contains Opportunity Sites that could have the potential for new residential development within the Housing Element planning period (2023 to 2031). To facilitate housing development and meet the RHNA, the City proposes to increase the allowable densities in the Downtown Mixed Use District and Transit Oriented Mixed Use General Plan land use designations. The City proposes to increase the allowable FAR in the Corridor Mixed Use land use designation. Housing opportunity sites are located within the City ’s three Priority Development Areas (PDAs) near transit. Moving forward, San Leandro will continue to grow differently than it has in the past with a majority of new housing expected in transit -oriented development (TOD) areas, including around the City ’s two BART stations, in and around the Downtown area, and along major commercial corridors such as East 14th Street. The City made great strides in planning for new development that will make walking, bicycling, and public transit the most convenient means of travel for most new residents in line with the City’s Climate Action goals. The following table shows how the Housing Element demonstrates meeting the RHNA, including a combined buffer of 142% above the RHNA target.
