CAPER 19 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021) Regional Goal #2: Jurisdiction Policies – Maintain, improve, and implement local policy that supports affordable housing and fair housing. Activity 2.a: Participating jurisdictions with an existing rental stabilization program will take actions to continue to maintain the program and make improvements, as needed. Accomplishments in FY 22-23: The City of San Leandro’s Rent Review Ordinance was not triggered in FY 2022-23 as landlords consistently chose to reduce their rent increases to <7% to prevent going before the City’s Rent Review Board. The City’s Mobilehome Space Rent Stabilization Ordinance (MHRSO) caps space rents at 4% (calculated as the lower of 4% or the annual % change in CPI). Activity 2.b: Participating jurisdictions will promote fair housing laws (e.g.: AB 1482, Chiu 2019), and to the extent required by any other new laws. Accomplishments in FY 22-23: See response to Activity 1.a above. Additionally, in 2018, the California State Legislature passed Assembly Bill (AB) 686 to expand upon the fair housing requirements and protections outlined in the federal Fair Housing and Employment Act. The law requires all local public agencies to facilitate deliberate action to explicitly address, combat, and relieve disparities resulting from past patterns of segregation to foster more inclusive communities. AB 686 ensures that California Cities affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). The City’s 2023-2031 General Plan Housing Element was certified by HCD in February 2023. The AFFH conducts a full analysis and identifies actions based on this analysis to address fair housing issues in the City. This work will be publicly reported to City Council every year. Activity 2.c: Participating jurisdictions will periodically review their existing inclusionary housing in-lieu fees and/or housing impact fees and jobs-housing linkage fee programs if applicable, to maximize number of units in a manner consistent with current housing market conditions and applicable law. Accomplishments in FY 22-23: The City has included review of its inclusionary zoning ordinance as a goal/objective in its recently certified 2023-2031 Housing Element. Activity 2.d: The participating jurisdictions will continue to pursue modifications of current zoning and other local policies regulating housing development that pose a direct or indirect constraint on the production of affordable housing. Accomplishments in FY 22-23: In conjunction with the certified 2023-2031 HE update, the City
