City Council Agenda ReportConsidering acceptance of the Concord 2030 General Plan Annual Progress Report, including the Housing Element Annual Progress ReportMarch 7, 2017

BackgroundThe purpose of the 2030 General Plan Annual Progress Report (Progress Report) is twofold. First, it informs the State of California of the City’s planning activities and assists in facilitating the legislative process as it pertains to land use and local planning issues. Second, the Progress Report serves to update the City Council on progress toward implementation of policies of the Concord 2030 General Plan, and assists in formulating future implementation priorities. State Government Code § 65400 requires that the local legislative body review and accept the annual Progress Report.

A Housing Element is a required part of every city’s General Plan. The most recent Housing Element Update was adopted by the City Council on January 6, 2015 and covers the reporting period from 2015-2022. The Housing Element includes policies, programs, and quantified objectives to guide the City’s development decisions and is designed to implement the removal of governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing in Concord. State law requires that the City also prepare an annual progress report on the implementation of the Housing Element. The Annual Housing Element Progress Report is presented in Attachment 1 together with the Annual Progress Report on the entire 2030 General Plan.

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report is required to include information on the City’s progress implementing the Housing Element. In 2010, HCD formalized the reporting process and adopted new forms and definitions to achieve consistency in reporting among jurisdictions. The State uses the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HEAPR) to monitor progress toward meeting statewide housing needs and goals and progress toward the City’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment numbers.This HEAPR covers planning activities during the 2016 calendar year time period. As a result, this Progress Report covers implementation efforts during the second reporting year (calendar year 2016) of the 2015-2022 version of the Housing Element. Progress during 2015 was covered under the previous Housing Element period.

The Planning Commission reviewed the 2030 General Plan Annual Progress Report, including the HEAPR, and voted (4-0) to forward a recommendation to the City Council to accept the Progress Report. Draft Planning Commission minutes from that meeting are attached as (Attachment 2).

AnalysisIn 2007, the City of Concord updated and adopted the Concord 2030 General Plan. Additional discussion on the individual elements of the 2030 General Plan is provided in Attachment 1.

Progress toward General Plan implementation in 2016 included the following:

of 54


1) Development Code Updates – The City Council adopted the Model Ordinance for Water Efficient Landscaping as well as the two-year Pilot Program to remove barriers to the construction of small secondary living units, including reductions to impact fees and elimination of the requirement for the deed restriction for owner occupancy for smaller units.

The City Council approved an application from five adjacent North Concord property owners to rezone six properties from the Office Business Park (OBP) land use designation to the Industrial Business Park (IBP) land use designation, which will allow these properties to, among other things, establish legal outdoor storage uses.

A separate rezoning was also approved by the City Council to re-designate from Downtown Mixed Use to West Concord Mixed Use six parcels located on the north side of Concord Avenue, between Highway 242 and Bonifacio Street. This change will bring several existing businesses into conformance with an appropriate land use and zoning designation to bring existing legal non-conforming automotive-oriented land uses into conformance with an appropriate land use designation.

Downtown Concord Specific Plan – The goals of the Downtown Concord Specific Plan (2014) are geared toward economic development and realizing the development potential of the downtown consistent with the General Plan. The Specific Plan serves as a tool to obtain additional grant funding and an implementation plan to move forward with the Downtown vision. In 2016, the actions taken to implement the Specific Plan included:

o Approval of new play structures and other upgrades for Ellis Lake and Meadow Homes Park, which should be in place in Spring 2017.

o Purchase of new holiday treatments for Todos Santos Plaza. o Groundbreaking of Phase II (179 units) of the Renaissance Square

project. o Processing of three multi-family development applications (totaling

approximately 541 units), the first of which was approved on December 15, 2016.

o Commencement of the operation of the free, 14-seat Monument Community Shuttle, began providing access for the Monument community to the downtown Concord BART Station, the City’s Senior Center and the Monument Crisis Center.

o Opening of a variety of new businesses this year including Yanni’s Greek Cafe, Canasta Kitchen, Lima, and Poke Salad.

of 54


o Substantial progress in finalizing both the Park & Shop Design Guidelines and the Todos Santos Design Guidelines, with both expected to be considered by the Council for adoption in early 2017.

o The City was the recipient of a statewide Helen Putnam Partnership Intergovernmental Collaboration Award for the opening and operation of the Family Justice Center located downtown within Salvio Pacheco Square.

o The City was deemed “One of the 10 most Walkable Neighborhoods in the Bay Area” by Redfin, with a score of 89, due to the long- and short-term projects associated with the Downtown Specific Plan to integrate housing, jobs, retail and transportation to make it a thriving, walkable downtown.

o The Farmers’ Market and the Music and Market series continued to provide well-attended events and concerts.

2) Bicycle and Pedestrian and Safe Routes to Transit Master Plan Adopted – The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit planning process culminated in the completion and adoption of the Master Plan. After a two-year process of outreach and plan development, the City Council adopted the Master Plan on September 27, 2016. The Plan includes three tiers of projects totaling $146 million, and staff is now in the process of seeking grant funding for priority projects.

3) Downtown Corridors Plan – The City Council adopted the Downtown Corridors Plan on September 13, 2016, providing conceptual plans and design guidelines for three key street segments in the City, supporting Complete Streets principles. The plan includes specific projects for each segment, and an Active Transportation Program grant was submitted for approximately $3.7 million in State and regional funding in June 2016.

4) Concord Naval Weapons Station – The City Council selected Lennar Concord, LLC as the master developer for Phase One, representing 500 out of the total 2,300 acres to be developed on the Concord Naval Weapons Station. The Council also established and then selected a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) for the Specific Planning process. The CAC had their first meeting in January 2017, and the preparation of a Specific Plan for the Reuse Area process is under way.

5) Processing Projects – The City continued the review and processing of development projects for conformance with the Land Use Element. These included the Veranda retail center, Calitho Warehouse, Starbucks on Treat Blvd. and Clayton Rd., the Conco Commercial Building, Anova Center for education and the expanded Shiva Temple. Façade improvements included

of 54


those at Woung Luang Thai Cuisine and Yanni’s Greek restaurant, and construction of the Autumn Brook Subdivision. Staff also completed preparation and public review and outreach for the Park and Shop Design Guidelines and the Todos Santos Design Guidelines as well as the Subdivision Ordinance, all of which are moving forward for adoption early this year.

Housing Element Annual Progress ReportThe Housing Element Annual Progress Report (HEAPR) has been prepared in accordance with the suggested guidelines issued by the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. The HEAPR is required to be completed by April 1 of each year, and must also be presented to the Office of Planning and Research, and the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

The HEAPR (Exhibit A to Attachment 1) indicates that 190 new housing units received entitlement approval in calendar year 2016. As described in Attachment 1, staff is anticipating new applications for multi-family development in the downtown to continue during 2017.

Table C of the HEAPR (located at the back of Attachment 1) summarizes the City’s implementation of each policy/program to date, as described within the Housing Element Update 2015-2022. Table C provides a list of programs and policies with the status for each, as noted in the last two columns. Two key Housing Element programs were completed and will require ongoing implementation:

1) Program H-1.4.4 – encouraging the City to coordinate with Contra Costa Water District to reduce their fees on secondary living units which the District’s Board adopted on January 6, 2016. This was program was implemented with the Water District, and on March 12, 2016, the City Council also adopted a 2-Year Pilot Program to reduce City impact fees associated with secondary living units; and

2) Program H-1.5.8 – requiring the completion of an updated Nexus Analysis to support the City’s Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu fees and a new affordable housing impact fee, both of which were adopted in November 2016.

The analysis of the City’s progress in meeting the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is shown in Attachment 1 (page 7 of report) with a summary for this second year of the reporting period of 2015-2022. Concord’s ‘fair share’ of the regional housing need for the current planning period (2015-22) as determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) is 3,478 total residential units, divided by income category as shown below:

of 54


Regional Housing Needs Allocation

The State Department of Housing and Community Development updates the State Income Limits each year, reflecting median income and household income levels for very low, low, and moderate income households for California’s Counties. Current income levels for Contra Costa County are reflected on (Attachment 3). At the time this staff report was written, income limits for 2017 were not yet available.

The City’s RHNA numbers total 3,478 units and a total of 77 units were finalled for building permits in 2016, and thus the remaining RHNA balance is 3,364 units, as shown on page 7 of Attachment 1. The City’s obligation is to provide properly zoned land with sufficient development capacity for private development of the RHNA housing units, which has been accomplished.

In addition, the City is to offer programs and policies that promote an environment where housing construction is encouraged to provide housing for a range of incomes and residents, including those with special needs, which has also been accomplished and is on-going. It is important to remember that the City is not responsible for constructing these units, but is responsible to provide a regulatory environment that promotes housing development. The actual construction of units is subject largely to economic/market forces that drive housing development levels.

Financial ImpactAcceptance of the General Plan and Housing Element Annual Progress Reports does not have a fiscal impact on the City.

Environmental DeterminationPursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 153378(b)(5), the Concord 2030 General Plan Annual Progress Report is not considered a “project” and no further environmental review is required.

REPORT TO PLANNING COMMISSION

DATE: February 1, 2017

SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT

Recommendation: Consider and recommend to the City Council acceptance of the General Plan Annual Progress Report for submission to the Governor's Office of Planning and Research and to the State Department of Housing and Community Development.

I. Introduction

II.

The Planning Commission is requested to review and accept a report on the progress of the General Plan including the implementation of the Housing Element. The report's purpose is to apprise State government of local planning activities and facilitate the legislative process as it pertains to land use and local planning issues. The information provided in this report is intended to assist the Commission in tracking policy implementation in the City's Housing Element and in formulating future priorities.

Background

California Government Code §65400(a)(2) requires that the planning agency of local governments prepare an annual progress report to the legislative body, which in Concord's case is the City Council, on the status of the General Plan and progress in its implementation, including meeting its share of regional housing needs pursuant to Government Code §65584 and local efforts to remove governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement, and development of housing pursuant to Government Code §65583(c)(3). The annual report is due by April 1 of each year, and must also be presented to the Office of Planning and Research, and the State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

The annual report includes progress pertaining to the City's Housing Element, a required element of the City's General Plan. The annual report allows the Commission to evaluate the status of the General Plan and determine a recommendation to the City Council. This is the 14th report on the City's General Plan and covers calendar year 2016.

In March 2010, the State HCD formalized the reporting process and adopted new forms and definitions for the Annual Housing Element Progress Report to achieve consistency in reporting among jurisdictions. The annual report (Exhibit A) serves as a tool for the State of California's use in monitoring progress as to how statewide housing needs and goals are being addressed.

III. Analysis

A. Status of the General Plan Implementation Progress

In 2007, the City of Concord updated its General Plan, the Concord 2030 Urban Area General Plan. The following discussion summarizes the implementation progress of the various elements of the General Plan during calendar year 2016.

of 54

Land Use Element

GENERALPLANANNUALPROGRESSREPORT February 1, 2017

Page2

The Land Use Element constitutes the framework for land use planning in Concord to the year 2030. This Element designates the location and extent of land use categories such as housing, business, industry, public facilities, and open space. It includes policies and a land use diagram. The seven primary achievements during 2016 included the following:

1) Development Code Update - On February 23, 2016, the City Council amended the Development Code to adopt the Model Ordinance for Water Efficient Landscaping, clarifying existing landscape and irrigation regulations for projects that, where applicable, receive individualized CEQA review. On March 22, 2016, the City Council adopted a Development Code Update to establish a two-year Pilot Program to Remove Barriers to the construction of small secondary living units, including reductions to impact fees and elimination of the requirement for the deed restriction for owner occupancy. The City also worked with north Concord property owners to process a request to rezone six properties from Office Business Park to Industrial Business Park to allow them to continue their outdoor storage uses, in existence prior to the Development Code change in 2012. In addition, six parcels were rezoned from Downtown Mixed Use to West Concord Mixed Use to facilitate bringing their businesses into conformance with an appropriate land use and zoning designation that would remove current limitations on their use as a legal, nonconforming use.

2) Downtown Concord Specific Plan - The goals of the 2014 Specific Plan are geared toward economic development, and realizing the development potential of the downtown consistent with the General Plan adopted in 2007. The Specific Plan serves as a tool to obtain additional grant funding and an implementation plan to move forward with the Downtown vision. 2016 progress included the approval of new play structures and other upgrades for Ellis Lake and Meadow Homes Park, which should be in place in Spring 2017, the purchase of new holiday treatments for Todos Santos Plaza, the groundbreaking of Phase II (179 units) of the Renaissance Square project, the processing of three multifamily developments (totaling approximately 541 units), the first of which was approved on December 15, 2016, and the commencement of the operation of the free, 14-seat Monument Community Shuttle, which began providing access for the Monument community to the downtown Concord BART, the City's Senior Center and the Monument Crisis Center. The Downtown Corridors Plan was adopted in September providing design guidelines and conceptual streetscapes for three key street segments of the downtown, discussed further below.

The downtown also benefitted from the opening of a variety of new businesses this year including Yanni's Greek Cafe, Canasta Kitchen, Lima, and Poke Salad. Staff also made substantial progress in finalizing both the Park & Shop Design Guidelines and the Todos Santos Design Guidelines, with both expected for adoption in February 2017 and March 2017. The City was the recipient of a statewide Helen Putnam Partnership Intergovernmental Collaboration Award for the opening and operation of the Family Justice Center located downtown within Salvio Pacheo Square, and the City was deemed "One of the 10 most walkable areas in the Bay Area". In addition, the Farmers' Market and the Music and Market series continued to achieve record attendance.

3) Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan - The Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to Transit Plan had a productive year, culminating in the completion and adoption of the plan after a two-year process of outreach and plan development, the City Council adopted the

of 54


Page3

Citywide Plan on September 27, 2016. The Plan includes three tiers of projects totaling $146 million. Staff is now in the process of applying for over $15 million to implement Plan projects.

4) Downtown Corridors Plan - The City accepted a $250,000 PDA Planning grant from the CCT A for the Downtown Corridors Plan for a complete streets project. The Plan was adopted on September 13, 2016 and provides streetscape designs and sections for Salvio, Grant and Oak Streets, that may be applicable to other streets in the downtown area. The City also applied for grant funds of almost $3. 7 million toward implementation of improvements in the plan, and is currently on the contingency list for funding.

5) Processing Projects - In addition, the City continued the processing of development projects for conformance to the Land Use Element. These included projects such as: the Veranda retail center (350,000 sq. ft.), Ridge Park and Autumn Brook subdivision, Buffalo Wild Wings, Calitho Warehouse, Starbucks on Treat Blvd. and Clayton Road, the Conco Commercial Building, Anova Center for education and the Shiva Temple. Fa9ade improvements included those at Woung Luang Thai Cuisine and Yanni's Greek restaurant.

6) Community Reuse Project - The City selected Lennar as the Master Developer for the project, and recruited for and selected a Community Advisory Committee to provide input and encourage public participation during development of the Specific Plan for the first phase of development of the Reuse Project. In addition, Honda started testing driverless and connected car technology on the base. OttoMotto (now part of Uber) is testing selfdriving semi-trucks, Baidu is also testing autonomous vehicles, and Easy Mile shuttle is testing driverless 12-passenger shuttles for eventual use at Bishop Ranch.

7) Subdivision Ordinance - The Subdivision Ordinance was updated to ensure consistency with the Development Code and to provide uniform development standards. The Draft Ordinance has been reviewed by staff and will be before the Planning Commission for recommendation on February 15, 2017, with adoption anticipated in March 2017.

Growth Management Element

The Growth Management Element establishes policies and standards for traffic levels of service, and to establish performance standards for parks, fire, police, sanitary facilities, water service and flood control. This comprehensive, long range element balances the demands for public facilities generated by new development with plans, capital improvement programs and development mitigation programs. The progress towards implementation includes the ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Growth Management Element. One General Plan Amendment was made to parcels on the north side of Concord A venue, modifying the General Plan from Downtown Mixed Use to West Concord Mixed Use in order to bring existing legal non-conforming automotive-oriented land uses into conformance with an appropriate land use designation.

Economic Vitality


Page4

The Economic Vitality Element provides guidance to enhance linkages between economic development, land use and zoning, provides further support for Downtown development and retail businesses, and affirms existing programs that have a bearing for economic development. The progress towards implementation includes the ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Economic Vitality Element. No specific updates were made to this Element.

Transportation and Circulation Element

The Transportation and Circulation Element provides guidance and specific actions to ensure the continued safe and efficient operation of the City's circulation system. The Element indicates the general location and extent of existing and proposed major thoroughfares, transportation routes, terminals, and other local public utilities and facilities, and is correlated with the Land Use Element. Progress includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Transportation and Circulation Element.

Parks, Open Space, and Conservation Element

The Parks, Open Space, and Conservation Element provides guidance for preservation of the City's open spaces, natural resources, as well as identifying the parks and recreation facilities available to local residents. The Element incorporates policies to address the acquisition, management, preservation, and conservation of parks, open space, and natural resources. The progress towards implementation includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Parks, Open Space, and Conservation Element. The adopted Development Code established standards to implement General Plan creek and riparian habitat protection policies. No specific updates were made to this Element.

Safety and Noise Element

The Safety and Noise Element identifies the natural and man-made hazards that exist within the City, and mitigates their potential impacts through both preventative and responsive measures. The Element provides policies for the protection and safety of the general public concerning air quality, noise, seismic and geologic hazards, flooding, hazardous materials, and wildland fires. The progress towards implementation includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Safety and Noise Element.

Public Facilities and Utilities Element

The Public Facilities and Utilities Element addresses service and infrastructure needs for development. The Element provides policies for the public services that Concord provides including wastewater collection, law enforcement, childcare programs, and cultural arts and education programs. The progress towards implementation includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Public Facilities and Utilities Element. One key achievement this year was the participation of the City in an MOU with Contra Costa County to provide data and assist in funding for a countywide technical study to consider a Community Choice Energy (CCE) program, the results of which were reported to the City Council in January. Participation in CCE may greatly facilitate the implementation of GHG reductions pursuant to the Climate Action Plan. In addition, the Planning and Building divisions received a $20,000 grant to host the California Youth Energy Services Program over

of 54


Page 5

the summer of 2016, through which youth served hundreds of homes in Concord, providing energy efficiency materials, and supplies, such as LED lights, and water conservation devices.

Housing Element Update

The City's Housing Element Update was adopted on January 6, 2015, after considerable public input throughout the year-long process. The Update includes policies, programs, and quantified objectives to guide the City's development decisions and is designed to implement the removal of governmental constraints to the maintenance, improvement and development of housing in Concord.

Staff has made progress on two specific Housing Element programs during the year including:

• Program H-1.4.4- encouraging the City to coordinate with Contra Costa Water District to reduce their fees on secondary living units which their Board adopted on January 6, 2016. In addition, on March 12, 2016, the City Council adopted a 2-Year Pilot Program to reduce City impact fees associated with secondary living units; and

• Program H-1.5.8 - requiring the completion of an updated Nexus Analysis to support the City's Inclusionary Housing In-Lieu fees and a new affordable housing impact fee, both of which were adopted in November 2016.

B. Local Efforts to Remove Governmental Constraints

The City has taken several steps in recent years to remove governmental constraints that hinder implementation of the General Plan. These include adoption of additional Development Code technical revisions to clarify interpretations and streamline processing, implementation of the Downtown Specific Plan and adoption of the Housing Element Update 2014-2022, including initiation of discussions with Contra Costa Water District regarding facility reserve charges for secondary living units with the goal of reducing the hurdles and challenges involved for developing smaller units in an effort to add to the City's affordable housing inventory.

C. Housing Element Annual Progress Report

The Housing Element Annual Progress Report has been prepared in accordance with guidelines issued by the Governor's Office of Planning and Research. The report includes the Housing Element Annual Progress Report (Exhibit A) that includes the following:

• Cover Sheet • Table A - Summary Building Permits Issued for New Construction • Table A2 - Summary of Building Permits Issued for Rehabilitated Units (These must

meet specific criteria i.e., substantial rehabilitation/long-term affordability restrictions) • Table A3-Summary Building Permits for Moderate/Above Moderate-Income Units. • Table B - Regional Housing Needs Allocation Progress • Table C - Program Implementation Status

Tables A and B for the 2016 calendar year indicate there were 55 new housing units finaled in calendar year 2016, and 89 units substantially rehabilitated (Virginia Lane Apts.). Additionally, $1.1 million was approved for the rehabilitation of 98 units at Riley Court and

of 54


Page6

Camara Circle. Encouraging signs are showing improvement, as the City has experienced an uptick in applications for multi-family housing and approved entitlements throughout the year. In addition, re-permitting of some previously approved projects such as Poetry Gardens and Ridge Park Subdivision has occurred and construction is now occurring on projects such as Phase II of the Renaissance Square Apartments, as well as applications for new multi-family projects downtown.

Progress towards implementation of the updated Housing Element (2014-2022) includes ongoing review of development projects for conformance to the Housing Element. Table C ( of Exhibit A) provides more specific details and summarizes the implementation of each policy/program within the Housing Element to date. Exhibit B presents updates on the Downtown Specific Plan since its adoption.

D. Progress in Meeting the City's Share of Regional Housing Needs Allocation

Concord's 'fair share' of the regional housing need was revised for the Housing Element 2014-2022 planning period, as was determined by the Association of Bay Area Governments. The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for that period indicates that the City is required to provide 3,478 residential units, broken down as follows, by income category. The State Department of Housing and Community Development's regulations require that the need under each category must be met individually, and excess units in one income category cannot be used to reduce the unaccommodated need from the other categories.

399 Extremely Low Income 399 Very Low Income 444 Low Income 559 Moderate Income

1,677 Above-Moderate Income 3,478 Totals

Progress in Meeting Regional Housing Needs Table 1 provides a summary of Concord's progress in meeting regional housing needs for the planning period of 2014-2022. The City has approved ( entitled) 190 housing units this year, which will be counted once completed. In addition to those, 114 units have been built since beginning of the housing element cycle in January 1, 2015; thus, there is an unmet remaining need of 3,364 housing units, after subtracting only for the built units.

Included in that number are the Virginia Lane Apartments, currently undergoing substantial rehabilitation, which are counted based on a 25 percent credit (for example 100 units rehabilitated, would receive a credit for 25 units, per HCD guidelines). Thus, for the 89-unit Virginia Lane project, 22 units are counted (toward the Very Low and Low Income category), based on the affordability levels of those units. The Riley Court and Camara Circle Apartments, funded this year for rehabilitation and construction work as mentioned earlier, will be counted in 2017 once completed.

In terms of the RHNA goals, the City is responsible for providing the properly zoned land capacity to make it possible to build the units along with developing programs and policies that promote an environment where housing construction is encouraged to provide housing for a range of incomes and residents, including those with special needs; but the City is not responsible for building the units. The City's housing unit goals (3,478 units) are higher than during the prior planning period (3,078 units) reflecting the regional Plan Bay Area's focus on transit oriented development near the city's two BART stations.

E. SB 341 Annual Reporting Requirement for Housing Successor Agencies

Under California Health & Safety Code 34176.l(f) housing successor agencies need to produce and post certain reports within six months of the calendar year. The report includes a number of items that describes the Successor Agency's work and funding of affordable housing activities during the year. The report is to be posted on the City's web site as well as included with the annual housing element report. Exhibit C provides a summary of the Concord Housing Fund for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2016.
