6th Cycle Program 7.6: To improve housing mobility and <br />promote more housing choices and affordability throughout <br />Pleasanton, the City will employ a suite of actions to be <br />targeted in lower density areas, including outreach, <br />resources, and other strategies with an overall goal of <br />expanding housing opportunities affordable to extremely low, <br />very low, low, and moderate income households. Actions and <br />strategies include: 1. Religious institution/faith-based sites: <br />Facilitate housing on religious institution/faithbased sites. In <br />addition to outreach identified in Program 1.5 (#3), the City <br />will expedite processing of housing applications on religious <br />institution/faith-based sites. Permit 10 housing units on a <br />religious institution/faith-based site(s) with a target of 60 <br />percent of units in lower density areas during the 2023-2031 <br />planning period. If no application for housing on a religious <br />institution/faith-based site is received by December 2025, the <br />City will expand outreach efforts to be conducted annually. <br />This may include direct mailings to faith-based sites <br />highlighting current successful affordable housing units on <br />other faith-based sites, as well as available City grants and <br />loans for such housing and human services endeavors. <br /> [... for further text see Housing Element Document] <br />Provide 200 housing opportunities <br />affordable to lower income households by <br />January 2031. <br />Annually review overall <br />progress and effectiveness <br />in April and include <br />information in annual report <br />to HCD. If the City is not on <br />track to meet its 200 <br />affordable housing unit goal <br />for the 8-year RHNA cycle <br />by 2027 (i.e., 100 affordable <br />units built or in process by <br />2027), the City will consider <br />alternative land use <br />strategies and make <br />necessary amendments to <br />zoning or other land use <br />documents to facilitate a <br />variety of housing choices, <br />including but not limited to, <br />strategies that encourage <br />missing middle zoning <br />(small-scale multi-unit <br />projects up to four-plexes) in <br />addition to lot splits / <br />additional housing units as <br />allowed by Ordinance No. <br />2228; adaptive reuse, and <br />allowing additional ADUs <br />and/or JADUs, within six <br />months, if sufficient <br />progress toward this <br />quantified objective is not <br />being met. <br />1.
