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