The City of Oakley has identified the following goal topics:
Production of New Housing
Preservation and Conservation of the Existing Housing Stock
Increase Access to Housing Opportunities
Goal 1: Production of New Housing
ACTION 1.1: PROVISION OF ADEQUATE SITES TO MEET REMAINING RHNA NEED
the City shall rezone adequate sites to accommodate a minimum of 260 lower-income units in the Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) District.
The City shall amend the AHO District to allow a maximum density of 30 units per acre consistent with the “default density” standards of Government Code Section 65583.2(3)(B) and shall expand the base zones to which the AHO may be applied.
ACTION 1.2: MAINTAIN AN INVENTORY OF AVAILABLE LAND RESOURCES
the City shall continue to update the inventory on an ongoing basis as projects are approved and new sites are rezoned.
City shall make findings related to the potential impact on the City’s ability to meet its unmet regional housing needs allocation when approving applications to rezone sites...
If at any point it is determined that the City does not have adequate capacity to meet the unmet lower- or moderate-income RHNA, the City shall identify and make available a replacement site within 180 days.
ACTION 1.3: ENCOURAGE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING
Objective: Build 440 units of affordable lower-income housing
The City shall encourage new affordable rental housing by continuing to offer regulatory and financial incentives, such as a reduction in development standards, density bonuses, expedited permit processing, fee deferrals, and public works modifications to allow cost savings to developers of affordable rental housing units.
The City shall support funding requests by affordable housing developers for CDBG and/or HOME funds through the Contra Costa County CDBG Urban County and Contra Costa County HOME Consortium.
ACTION 1.4: PROMOTE ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Objective: Target the production of 40 ADUs, including 16 ADUs using pre-approved plans
ACTION 1.5: OBJECTIVE STANDARDS
adopt objective development and design standards for residential and mixed-use development
Adopting objective standards will help the City comply with Senate Bill 35 and the Housing Accountability Act.
The City will post information on SB 35 ministerial approval procedures on the City website and ensure approval timelines comply with SB 35 and SB 330.
ACTION 1.6: DENSITY BONUS ORDINANCE
The City shall continue to use the Density Bonus Ordinance and associated incentives to encourage affordable housing, including housing for seniors and other special needs populations.
How effective has the density bonus been?
The City shall review and revise the existing Density Bonus Ordinance when required by any future revisions to State density bonus law.
ACTION 1.8: AMENDMENTS TO THE DOWNTOWN SPECIFIC PLAN
Not bad.
Zoe notes:
AFFH done at county level not city level?
Constraints section needs to describe how to address the constraints. What are you going to do to ameliorate the constraints, not just wait to policies and programs.
Good: Affordable Housing Overlay (AHO) district but why is it only for multi family?
Bad: Policy action 1.7 delete infill housing program, deleting farmworker housing program to conserve resources, combing it into special needs housing along with residential care facilities and more
the LMAO: goal of 40 ADUs
