Summary

The Planning and Zoning Law requires a city or county to adopt a general plan for land use development within its boundaries that includes, among other things, a housing element. That law requires the planning agency of a city or county to provide by April 1 of each year an annual report to, among other entities, the Department of Housing and Community Development (department) that includes, among other specified information, the number of net new units of housing that have been issued a completed entitlement, a building permit, or a certificate of occupancy, thus far in the housing element cycle, as provided. This portion of the annual report is known as the production report. The Planning and Zoning Law requires the department, in consultation with each council of governments, to determine the existing and projected need for housing in each region and further requires the appropriate council of governments, or the department for cities and counties without a council of governments, to adopt a final regional housing need plan that allocates a share of the regional housing need to each city, county, or city and county, as provided. That law provides for the allocation of regional housing need by the council of government or the department, as applicable. That law also provides for the allocation of a portion of a county's share of the regional housing need to one or more cities within the county, after the final allocation of regional housing need, if certain conditions are met. This bill would, until January 31, 2031, authorize the County of San Mateo (county) or a jurisdiction within the county, if the county or the jurisdiction contributes affordable housing funds to a deed-restricted affordable housing development in another jurisdiction in the county or to a housing joint powers authority serving the county, and if certain conditions are met, including that the contributing and receiving jurisdictions are in agreement, to report, in proportion to the amount of funds contributed, the associated completed entitlements, building permits, or a certificates of occupancy on the contributing jurisdiction's annual production report. The bill would require the legislative bodies of the contributing and receiving jurisdictions to each hold a public hearing to provide an opportunity for public comment on the proposed agreement and to make specified written findings based on substantial evidence before approving the agreement. The bill would make conforming changes with respect to the production report required to be submitted to the department. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of San Mateo.
