<br />Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 07/02/2021 <br />Rincon Consultants for Housing Element Update and EIR Exhibit A – Page 6 of 21 <br />sufficient capacity for the RHNA, taking into consideration the following adequate site <br />requirements under new Housing Element laws: <br />▪ No net loss of capacity when sites are developed <br />▪ Continued ability to meet the RHNA by income group <br />▪ Stringent standards for assessing feasibility when reusing vacant and underutilized sites that <br />have previously been included in the 5th cycle Housing Element <br />▪ Demonstrated trends of development <br />We understand that ABAG is developing a site selection tool to assist jurisdictions as they <br />prepare their parcel-specific sites inventory. We assume this tool will be available to the for use <br />in the development of the San Leandro sites inventory. Using this tool, a parcel -specific sites <br />inventory will be developed and opportunities for lot consolidation will be identified. We will <br />prepare an “adequate sites analysis” showing the relationship between the City’s RHNA and the <br />dwelling unit capacity, availability of potential housing sites based on zon ing, infrastructure, <br />and General Plan policies, requirements, and limitations. <br />Assembly Bill (AB) 1397 (Adequate Sites) and SB 166 (No Net Loss) impose stringent <br />requirements on the sites inventory for RHNA. Given the city’s development pattern, it is <br />anticipated that most sites identified in the sites inventory will be focused around the Bay Fair <br />BART station, downtown, and the East 14th Street corridor. Some of the sites may also have <br />been used in a previous housing element cycle. To include these sites in the sites inventory, <br />additional justification is required and may need to include: <br />▪ Lot consolidation potential <br />▪ Feasibility of development on smaller sites <br />▪ Impediments for residential development on non-vacant sites <br />▪ Recent development on similar sites <br />▪ Substantial evidence the existing use is likely to be discontinued within the planning period <br />Following the analysis of available sites, the Rincon team will prepare a sites inventory using <br />HCD’s current inventory worksheet format and template. The Rincon team will work closely <br />with staff and HCD to provide an expanded analysis of the sites inventory. We assume one <br />round of review on the report. Maps will be provided in the Housing Element itself and are not <br />required as part of the sites inventory worksheet . The Rincon team will prepare the maps as <br />outlined in Task K, below. <br />Deliverable: Draft and Final Sites Inventory <br />Task H. Funding and Other Housing Resources <br />The Housing Resources and Opportunities section will include a description of the City’s 2023 - <br />2031 RHNA. This analysis will examine the resources and opportunities available for the <br />development, rehabilitation, and preservation of housing. It will include an inventory and <br />analysis of the land resources (i.e., vacant and underutilized sites), as well as the financial and <br />administrative resources available to support housing activities. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 52DE9C19-FF3F-4BE0-99DB-BF80F1BD0FBC
