units for each jurisdiction in 2012 for the 2013 — 2021 planning period, and how the City must comply with housing element law for each cycle Councilmember Peterson and Manager Villasenor discussed parking requirements affected by requests for a density bonus Manager Villasenor explained how the state requires the City to analyze parking requirements and demonstrate whether or not they are a constraint to the provision of housing in the City — in other words, they must be reasonable If parking is a constraint, the City must include a program to eliminate the constraint Mayor Hardy questioned whether a parking concession could be restricted to projects for low to moderate housing units Councilmember Peterson suggested that something be written that allows concessions for only those projects considered one hundred percent affordable Councilmember Peterson reiterated his impression that the City has met its affordable housing requirements Manager Villasenor discussed site capacity, RHNA targets and actual building permits issued in 2014, breaking down the number of budding permits in 2014 for units considered very low, low, moderate, and above moderate, and how the City has not yet met the RHNA requirements for lower income categories Mayor Hardy and Manager Villasenor discussed counting existing housing units not officially declared low income, and Manager

Councilmember Posey and Manager Villasenor discussed consequences should the City not meet its RHNA numbers, including being ineligible for types of state and federal funding, no longer presumed to have a legal Housing Element, no longer consistent with the City's General Plan, and legal matters preventing the City from issuing building permits Manager Villasenor also explained the process of developing a Maximum Amount of New Development (MAND) applicable only to each opportunity site Mayor Hardy and Manager Villasenor discussed sites with zoning that provided credit/was presumed to build affordable units that did not actually occur, and how un-accommodated RHNA is folded into the next Housing Element analysis Discussion ensued about the City conditioning opportunity sites to build 100% very low to low income Director Hess discussed recycling property to meet future requirements, how sites offer credit but the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) does not dictate the market Councilmember Delgleize and Director Hess discussed mixed use zoning where at least 50% of development is residential Manager Villasenor described actions that occur during the housing cycle Mayor Pro Tem Katapodis voiced concerns about what happens when the City is built out Manager Villasenor explained that HCD is in the process of reforming the RHNA process, and changes may be proposed for housing element law Councilmember Peterson and Manager Villasenor discussed how population growth is used to formulate affordable housing numbers for purposes of RHNA allocation
