CITY OF CUPERTINO

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT FORM
Application: Briefing on Housing Element Update
process and selection of a Council member to attend
Stakeholder meetings.
Agenda Date: July 22, 2008
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Commission select one of its members to participate in
the Stakeholder process during the Housing Element update.
BACKGROUND:
Selection of Consultant:
In February 2008, staff distributed a Request for Proposals for the preparation of the
Housing Element of the General Plan to nine bay area consultants specializing in Housing
Element preparation. Of the nine consultants, two responded with proposals. Staff
interviewed the two consultants and selected Bay Area Economics (BAE) to prepare
Cupertino's Housing Element for the planning period of2007-2014.
Housing Element Process:
In accordance with State law, California cities must have an adopted General Plan and the
General Plan must contain a Housing Element. While all elements of a General Plan are
reviewed and revised regularly to ensure that the plan remains current, state law requires
that the Housing Element be updated every five years. State law also dictates the issues that
the Housing Element must address and requires the element to be certified by the California
Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) to assure that it meets the
minimum requirements established by Government Code 965580-65589.8.
The major, and most controversial, requirement for the Housing Element is that it requires
cities to adequately plan to meet their existing and projected housing needs including their
"fair share" of the regional housing need. Each jurisdiction's fair share is related to its
projected growth and transit corridors. Attached is an edited version of an Association of
Bay Area Governments (ABAG) PowerPoint that briefly summarizes the issue of growth
and housing. ABAG recently completed the Regional Housing Needs Allocation
(RHNA). As part of this process, ABAG recently formed a RHNA committee comprised
of regional agencies and local governments to develop a methodology for distributing the
nine-county Bay Area's housing need (as determined by HCD) to all local governments in
the region. Steve Piasecki, Community Development Director, was selected as one of
three representatives from Santa Clara County to serve on the RHNA committee. Each
city and county has received an allocation of housing units, broken down by income
categories, for which it must plan for by identifying adequate sites zoned at adequate
densities. The planning period for this version of the Housing Element is 2007-2014. In
response to the allocations, each city and county in the Bay Area will have to review, update
and adopt its Housing Element by June 30, 2009.
Stakeholder Meetings:
During this update, particular attention is being paid to the public participation process.
BAE was selected as the City's consultant because of the thorough public participation
plan that they submitted with their proposal. The consultant plans on holding three
4-1
educational meetings with key stakeholders and a community workshop after the last
stakeholder meeting. All stakeholder and communitY meetings will be videotaped and
available for viewing on the city website. Furthermore, PowerPoint presentations with
voiceovers are also being proposed for availability. As usual, the stakeholder and
community meetings will be advertised on the city website and a postcard with key dates
will be mailed out in advance of the first stakeholder meeting.
Commission Briefing Session:
The purpose of the briefing session is to allow the consultant to provide details on the
public participation schedule, including stakeholder selection, and the timeline for the
Housing Element preparation. Stakeholders will include representatives from groups
including school districts, community groups (such as 3C's and CARES), and the
Chamber of Commerce. At the culmination of the discussion on this item, the Planning
Commission will be expected to select a Commissioner to participate in the stakeholder
meetings. The stakeholder focus group meetings will be held on the evenings of August
21, September 25, and October 23,2008.
