SUBJECT: HOUSING ELEMENT COMPLIANCE
BACKGROUND
SB 2037, a bill authored by Senator Boatwright at the request of
cities, was vetoed by the governor last year. In an effort to
bring cities' Housing Elements into compliance, the bill would have
enabled cities to combine resources in order to produce affordable
housing and allow local governments to enter into agreements to
pool resources such as in lieu fees, infrastructure, planning staff
time, and land. The allocation of sites for housing produced
pursuant to such agreements would be credited in proportion to the
resources contributed among the various participants. The bill
included language which ensured that the total units which must be
produced in a given region remain constant and that a given
jurisdiction cannot receive credit for more than 20% of their fair
share allocation. These requirements were intended to ensure that
this method would be only one of many tools available to local
government to produce housing and to be used only in exceptional
circumstances.
This year, because of the governor's Growth Management Plan, the
League of California Cities will be reintroducing the bill.
Currently, there is no sponsor and no bill number. We will
continue to monitor this situation and provide reports as
necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that, the City Council receive and file this
memorandum.
